| 4.0 excellent | JTmusic1995 | February 16th 12 | Nickelback became the quintessential post-grunge band with 2001's "Silver Side Up." While the only real source of mainstream pop was "How You Remind Me," the contemplating closer, "Good Times Gone," showed that the band was finding itself melodically. 2003's "The Long Road" showed a transition to mainstream hard rock and even metal, despite the Top 10 ballad, "Someday." However, it is 2005's "All the Right Reasons" that prove the guys are huge enough to take huge risks. Songs like Side of a Bullet", "Next Contestant", and "Animals", are fist-pumping anthems with peculiar story lines, ranging from recklessness with weapons, an unfaithful girlfriend told through the point-of-view of a rock star, and human beings with no morals, values, or shame. But what got everyone talking about the album was Nickelback's softer sound, with violins, pianos, and acoustic guitars. The power ballad, "Far Away", is as much of a Nickelback standard as "How You Remind Me", showing the band's ability to make their fans scream one song, and say "I Love You" to their girlfriends the next. Epics like "Photograph", "Savin' Me", and "If Everyone Cared" focus on universal topics like days gone by, the Higher Power, and world peace, all the while making Chad Kroger's lyrics and voice more believable than ever before. Whether hating then for sounding more pop than rock, or... just because they're Nickelback, you can't deny the Alberta rock superstars know exactly what they're doing: giving fans what they want while still breaking new ground.

| 0.0 | Maximilian Harkness | November 25th 08 | "Side of A Bullet" is a great hard rock song, containing awesome sludgey riffs and a good Dimebag solo. Everything else is either as boring as shit or plain embarrassing.

| 2.5 average | Freddy Thomas | June 28th 08 | For Nickelback, this is a solid album, because they really have managed to keep the album from being a bore-fest. That is mainly because they have some really good guitar driven rock songs like Follow You Home & Side Of A Bullet on here, however why they NEVER release them is what baffles me about this band, they only release songs that appeal to the mainstream perception of what a "rock band" would release, which is emotionally driven ballads, which is what this band have become a staple for bringing to the masses, & they actually are kinda good (Photograph particularly), unlike some of the others they've done. Rock Star is the only I hate with passion here, due to it being the stupidest song ever wrote, it makes an embarrassment of the band & states why everyone hates them. However I have to admit, they actually made a decent album, which for this band IS a step forward in the right direction

| 2.5 average | Deuce8311 | June 18th 12 | It's Nickelback. This of course means one thing. It's nothing great, but not as bad as everyone says it is. Sure there is plenty of filler which is enough to make anyone cringe, but there are still some good tracks regardless. The opening track "Follow You Home" is a real pleasant shocker due to the heavier than normal sound we're used to hearing from Nickelback. The same goes for "Side of A Bullet" which about Dimebag's tragic death and features some sick pre-recorded riffs from the man himself. "Animals" is a guilty pleasure of mine... for a few reasons I can't say ;) , but also due to the nice instrumentation. Sure the tailor made radio ballads like "Photograph" were expected, but they are still executed nicely. Nickelback made a fairly decent mainstream rock record that brings nothing new as always.

| 0.0 | Gwynbleiddsfang | June 12th 12 | Redundant scores, yes, but there was just something, something i don't know what it is, that just told me that i HAD to do it. And ok ok, before you judge me as a bandwagoner, i do mildly enjoy some songs on them, maybe 2 or 3, but i hate the ones i don't enjoy so fucking much, it's not enough to make up for it.

| 1.5 very poor | hesperus | January 12th 12 | The most hated band of all time don't quite live up to their reputation, but they're still shit. And apparently Chad Kroeger is a Care Bear. "If everyone cared, we could END DEATH, you guys!"

| 0.0 | Salmonella | March 5th 10 | "Photograph" is the best song from 2005 in my opinion. While admittedly overplayed, that song has become one of my favourites because of its brutal honesty and great instrumentation (of which Nickelback are not known). The rest of the album I also find enjoyable, if a bit stale at times.

| 1.0 awful | Adrian Hertzberg CONTRIBUTOR | January 20th 10 | If Sputnik ever needed a reason to allow user ratings of 0.5 and 0, this album is it. This is nothing more than terrible and generic radio rock from a band that doesn't know how to shut the fuck up. I thought that Simple Plan was Canada's greatest shame but now I'm not so sure...
Bump |
| 0.0 | Dylan620 | November 26th 09 | Their best album, but that's not saying much. I used to be a huge Nickelback fan who would play this album nonstop. Then Sputnik came along and matured my musical taste, and Nickelback ceased to significantly appeal to me. Still, All the Right Reasons is good enough to warrant a 3.

| 2.5 average | David James Young | May 20th 09 | The infamous Canadians were battling slightly poorer sales after the dismal Silver Side Up sequel, The Long Road. Within a few hit singles from this record, however, the band were right back on track as soulless stadium fillers. Sure, the production is tight as ever, it's a complete improvement from The Long Road and it even features some of the band's best songs ("If Everyone Cared", "Savin' Me"). Having said that, there's still not nearly enough on this record that makes it worth a start-to-finish listen: "Animals" is laughably un-subtle, "Far Away" is thickly layered with cheese and the irony of "Rockstar" is completely lost when you think that Chad Kroger most probably does all the things he mentions in the song. Keep a few songs for your guilty pleasures iTunes playlist, but the rest is not worth your time.

| 2.5 average | Kyle Hallman | January 6th 09 | While Nickelback is not really renowned for being incredibly respected in the muscial community they never fail to make infectious catchy radio friendly songs. Which ultimatley is not a bad thing. It just never makes you amount to much as an "artist".
All The Right reasons is at least, a step up from the substaintially awful "The Long Road". While songs like "Animals" are annoying sex anthems which is not suprising at all from Nickelback, the song is at least hilarious and kinda catchy. "If Everyone Cared" and "Savin' Me" remind us that Nickelback at least tries not to be total cock rock. The entire album is usually catchy and I think everyone smiles when they hear "Rockstar".

| 1.0 awful | noveltyxcrosses | November 12th 08 | The only tolerable parts of this album aren't even from the band themselves. Definite deduction for defiling Dimebag's grave on "Side of a Bullet" as well.
