nickleback

Some of the songs are good. They are getting pretty heavy nowadays, but they probably need songs which have a more variable structure. Photograph is a good song, but personally, I prefer "How You Remind Me of" and the older stuffs.

Nickelback represents many of the things that are wrong with commercial pop music today.
Their awful songs are a kind of mindless pseudo-rock that can best be described as donkey turd.

To make matter worse, they employ a formulaic system of songwriting (or more accurately, rehashing), to cash in on the poor pockets of naive listeners.

However, if you are a discerning listener who thinks that all Nickelback songs sound the same, then congratulations. Because you are not very far off.

The following is a link to a Nickelback Vs Nickelback 'mash-up' of sorts, created by a fellow named Mikey Smith to show his girlfriend that all of Nickelback songs sound just about the same. Many of you might have already heard it since it has been floating around the internet for over a year. The songs used to demonstrate the point are 2 of the group's biggest hits, “How You Remind Me” and “Someday”, and have not been tampered in anyway.

Uncanny, you say? More like unsavoury, since listening to this mash-up leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

So look, why continue supporting acts like this that treat their listeners with such contempt? Have a little more respect for yourself and find music that is truly deserving of your time and attention.
 
haha.. the mash up thing is kinda kool..
yeah, they do sound the same.
wonder if i can play how you remind me with someday's tabs. hmm.
aniwae, they still make catchy good music.
so, yar.. they're ok to me.
 
I'm not a fan of Nickelback (I didn't even buy their album). But i don't condemn them either.

What I know is that Nickelback made a lot more money than you guys :lol:
 
Hmm i prefer the older songs of nickelback. But as for their new album, "For all the right reasons".. i like this track call, "side of a bullet", kinda heavy..
 
i did think nicklebacks songs ALL sound the same.... i dun really like them,.... but i like the vocals..... nice voice... thats about all i like about them....
 
well... i guess i don;t like them enough to actually watch them live so i guess my judgement is based on their recordings..... :lol:
 
I watched a clip where Nickelback performed in Portugal, halfway through the song they stopped and walked off the stage because the majority of the crowd was booing them.

Nothing against Nickelback or anything, I don't listen to much of their music anyways, just stating my experience :D
