Well, I guess I'm those few who don't they their bad. To answer your question, they have had a lot of hit go to #1, still have sold-out shows, they've hit it mainstream, so obviously, SOMEONE loves them. You gotta give them credit that they seem to really know their audience too. I guess they're just one of those groups that you're either a true fan or you hate them with a passion. If you ask me, they're not horrible.



Good review btw!

^Just to dismantle your logic, you are ONE of those few who don't THINK THEY'RE bad. They've had a lot of HITS go to #1, their shows are sold out (not unlike the band), they've hit it mainstream, so obviously, someone does love them (sadly enough). You('ve) gotta give them credit that they really seem to know their audience too (but you really don't). I guess they are just one of those bands where you should really really (no seriously, fucking really) hate them witha passion. If you ask anyone that listens to good music, they are fucking terrible.





Just because they are mainstream it doesn't mean they are bad. They have terrible lyrics, and they are flat out the most generic band right now. I really don't get how you can think that him singing about WANTING TO BE A RAWKSTARR can be good I mean really? REALLY? There is NOTHING good about this album.

I liked Nickelback, and will still say I like some of the songs on their last couple albums, but this album is horrible.



Just To Get High is easily the best song here. Gotta Be Somebody was fine til it got overplayed, now I can't stand it. If Today Was Your Last Day is actually pretty good imo, cheesy yes, not very original lyrics, but it's definitely better than the other love ballads on here.



The only other positive thing I can say about this album is there are a few pretty good riffs, and guitar solos. The songs they're featured on suck, so it doesn't matter. (Minus the cool solo on Just To Get High.)

I was stuck in a mates mates car whilst driving to the movies and he had this album blasting. I couldn't believe it.

From a musicians point of view the album sucked but the production was pretty good.

Till now, I hadn't even listened to the entire album. Then I saw the new american pie and it starts with "Something in your mouth". The song is fuckin' ridiculous. His lyrics are as basic as a 10 years old boy's writen works. The sound is so boring. OMG, this might be the worst Nickelback album. I think he may be in competition with himself, seeing how low he can come -.- Horrible.

My friend dragged me along to see these guys live once... Once all the opening acts were done it started to rain like crazy and there was thunder and lightning... Anyway point is the concert got canceled, and i don't think Mother Nature likes Nickelback very much either...

While I agree that this album blows, I still stand by my opinion that Nickelback has released some good tracks over the years. How You Remind Me, Because of You, Savin' Me, Side of a Bullet, etc... People dog them too much because they get overplayed. Yes their lyrics are pretty generic, but you could do worse. Again, I'm talking pre-Dark Horse.

I actually agree, this is a 1.5 because I enjoyed Gotta Be Somebody. I'm certainly not going to go back and listen to the old stuff, but I'm not gonna say it's bad either.

I can certainly understand how Nickelback could be viewed unfavorably, particularly on this site. I do have a soft spot for them because they were one of my first favorite groups when I seriously started listening to music. They are DEFINITELY past their prime now, though, I can admit that.

Chad Kroeger is very "fascinating" because he writes such a diverse variety of songs... How could you ever figure out a man whose onstage presence radiates sexual, animal, MAGNETISM, yet whose voice belts out tender, vulnerable, soulful, ballads? Chad Kroeger can never be "pigeon holed" like a lot of recording artists definitely can be... Chad writes beautiful love ballads like "Hero", "Too Bad", "Far Away", "Gotta Be Somebody", "Never Gonna Be Alone", & "If Today was your Last day"... Chad writes fun songs like, "Animals", "Something In Your Mouth", "Rockstar", "Next Contestant", & "Someone That Your with"... Chad writes angst filled, "suicidal" songs like, "Savin Me" and "I'm Not Leaving Yet"... Chad writes searing, heart pounding songs like "Side Of A Bullet", "Just To Get High", and "Just For"... Chad writes wild songs like, "Burn It To The Ground", And then (the icing on the cake) Chad recently wrote the sexually charged, "Sex" and "Next Go Round"... This gorgeous hunk of a man writes songs about EVERYTHING! What woman wouldn't DIE to have a sweet, loving, caring, VULNERABLE man in her life who was also fun, wild, crazy, and super sexually charged? Chad's pure onstage animal magnetism while singing songs like "Figured You Out" is terrifying, & just doesn't match up to the vulnerable little boy belting out songs like "Savin Me" and "Hero" This is called COMPLEXITY people, and Chad Kroeger's complexity and creative GENIUS is off the charts! (And this "God" can still laugh at himself and reveal some stupid, little thing he did when he was growing up in horrible life circumstances and just wanted some BEER)... What a beautiful "SOUL" lives and breathes in Chad Kroeger... The man takes my breath away
