1.0 awful |
Hinder Extreme Behavior |
That "Lips of an Angel" was a massive hit is very disappointing. I'm glad I'm not forced to listen to Top 40 radio. What about the rest of the album? A friend of mine was playing it recently...and I don't remember a single thing. For a music lover who likes to find the good in most bands, that's as condemning an analysis as I can give... |
Nickelback The Long Road |
More Nickel-dung. Unfortunately, I'm allowed to properly review this album since all my co-workers and local radio stations were in love with this album.
My big problem with Nickelback is three-fold. First, the music is humorless and plodding. Not terrible in small doses, but EVERY song on EVERY album is pathetic. Secondly, I've never sensed any convincing sincerity in these guys. This makes generic ballads like Someday all the more horrible and maddening.
Third, Chad Kroger is the creepiest (and most constipated) singer in rock. This makes Figured You Out the creepiest song of this decade. Ladies, would want this guy "wooing" you with those lyrics?
Long story short -- Nickelback = All that is wrong in rock |
Nickelback All the Right Reasons |
It's music like this that makes appreciate bands like Muse, Beatsteaks, and QOTSA even more...so thank you Nickelback for that... |
