Defending the idea that the criticism of Nickelback is unjustified is a difficult task. Props for trying but you should have revised the review some.

Terrible review. Popularity =/= being good. Popularity = appealing to the lowest common denominator on an inoffensive level.

Ironically enough, people seem to have forgotten that rock and roll used to be ALL ABOUT writing catchy songs riddled with pathetic lyrics about sex




Only then, it sounded great. When Nickelback does it, they just ridicule themselves.

On Dark Horse, "Mutt" Lange lightens Nickelback's dreary post-grunge plod, applying guitar shimmer to prom ballads and detonating big beats under frat-party shouts and raplike vocal parts.

Nickelback's fifth disc consists of eleven giant-chorused songs about prisons of the mind, wanting to be a rock star and how it's hard to up and leave when she's going down on you. The band's wordy hooks and big riffs are as meticulously arranged as a thousand-dollar Nativity scene, but -- with the exception of the sleekly rocking "Animals" and some hope-and-faith platitudes -- All the Right Reasons is so depressing, you're almost glad Kurt's not around to hear it.




Rolling Stone's review of All the Right Reasons. 2 out of 5 stars.

you can write songs about sex without being sleazy, just look at Max Bemis for example. However, Chad Kroeger cannot. His lyrics are quite possibly the most uninspired, untalented, and certainly uninteresting, piles of crap to have ever graced the airwaves

Review is terrible. You make no logical points, and it's easy to see that you're probably Chad Kroeger's bitch...

Nickelback is like "Whipped Topping" instead of Whipped Cream, it's like Imitation Cheese compared to some beautiful Provolone, in short, it's shit.
FAIL.

It's annoying how many times I have to say this to people. I always use The Velvet Underground & Nico as an example

Idk. This review does have a certain degree of comedic relief to it. The part where it talks about sex and being horny is kinda funny OHWA IT THAT S THE ENTIRE REVIEW

"How You Remind Me" was pretty catchy and not as stupid as their other material, I must admit
