I personally can't stand hip hop but I don't write posts slagging it off - I just don't listen to it.Ĭharlie Allison: That first album was actually decent. The great thing about music is the variety and what certain songs do for us as individuals. I don't understand people bitching about whether they like a particular band or artist. Not the best band in the world but don't deserve the hate. We need bands like Nickleback to keep rock music alive.Ĭhris Ottewell: Love their albums and they're great live. I’ll take Nickleback over that BS music that dominates the Grammys and airwaves. Listen to the crap on commercial radio stations that is played now. Don’t understand why people don’t like them when there is a lot of crappy bands and music out there. All the Right Reasons is another brash but sullen CD with more of the worst rock lyrics ever recorded: " Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch/It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch." The nostalgic ballad Photograph is a rising hit, but the band is more fun when it's going fast, and the singer Chad Kroeger is more funny when he's getting mad." ( New York Times) (If you haven't already.) For hard-rock ridiculousness, Nickelback is tough to beat. "Forget about the Darkness and the Electric Six.
From a music point of view this is Nickelback’s strongest album to date." ( Alternative Addiction) In that respect this record has been made for all the right reasons. Nickelback do what they do best, producing music for the fans. "In all this isn’t a great departure from the Nickelback of old, no progression other than in the ballad department and no great shocks. 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)
"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. It’s sold more than 19 million copies around the world and spawned hit singles including Photograph, Rockstar, Savin’ Me and Far Away. Sure, their brand of polished-up post-grunge never pushed any envelopes, but the gutsy riffs and ear-worm hooks of Follow You Home, Animal and The Next Contestant are undeniably hard to resist.Īll The Right Reasons was released in 2005 and hit the no.1 spot in Nickelback’s homeland of Canada, the US, UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. In fact, I've met very few brilliant people in this industry, but he’s one of them." “He gets a ton of shit, but I have immense respect for the guy now. For years I was critical of Nickleback for a number of reasons, not the least of which jealousy and falling into the negative public sentiment. Fellow Canadian Devin Townsend wrote, "As you progress in any field, eventually the ‘lifers’ in a profession find they have a lot more in common than they may have anticipated.
