AronJ.Dec 1, 2008Most people who like this album are already just fans of the band, and not neccasarily music, this album is nothing more than rock n roll cliche made into songs.
-
-
ZachSJan 28, 2008I remember listening to this album back in 2001. And again when they rereleased in 2003. Etc. Nickelback is good at making catchy song, that's it. I didn't put a plural on song because they've recycled it over and over again. Also, Josh C, you are a great troll.

CroweBRNov 23, 2005Uncreative, too soft and boring. But....is there really a need for so much hostility? Ok, it's crap...but there SOO much worse music around...

BenSDec 13, 2005Went to the bargain bucket yesterday and bought this album out of curiosity for 5 cents. Got it home and heard the dull, meaningless songs and shoiuted I WANT MY NICKELBACK hahahahaha, no seriously this is a pretty damn dull record

JohnnyJan 14, 2008Josh C., I really hope you were being sarcastic there because that was the most over-the-top insane thing I have ever read on this website. As for everyone else, well, if you prefer your music to be bland, homogeneous and full of fake sentimentality then this is your thing. Everyone else who desires hard rock can listen to a hard rock band with actual talent, like Queens of the Stone Age.

Apr 28, 2018It's just **** A 2/10 is generous tbh. Lyrics are terrible. The music sucks
-
VishalP.Aug 4, 2008The only reason it doesnt get a zero is because its music. really BAD music. why so these guys get so much airplay? all the songs sound the same, boring post grunge rock. its a dying genre. if you want a real band try rise against.
-
-
CleopatraJNov 1, 2005Who are these people below me? Are they really serious? This must be some kind of joke. Quote: "clearly the people that gave this a album a zero dont know anything about music"--that about Nickelback? aka the fourth cycle of grunge lite? completely trite, profoundly unoriginal corporate fm sludge? There's something here.

BrandonWOct 29, 2005Notice that everyone who has reviewed this album with a glowing response barely has the intellectual capacity to even remotely command the English language in a correct manner. If you examine that the intellect of the crowd that lauds Nickelback is remarkably apparent. Just like the contrived idiocy of this album.

RobertC.Aug 6, 2009This album should be recalled, melted down, and put into something more useful.

-
RogierKNov 21, 2005The one point is for the singers leadership-skills. Keeping an entire band together that (out of free will) play this garbage for him deserves some credit.

mikefMar 21, 2007Generic Cheesball Rock in every sense of the word,I now can tell my Grandchildren ,That I was alive When the worst band of alltime was around.And thats saying something,With this Emo Crap.NickleBack is Horrible!!

ROssK.Jan 31, 2008Nickelback make music for people who don't like music.
-
-
HelpUJul 19, 2009If you want to be able to sing the songs to the band before you have fully heard the song, then this band is for you , everything is so predictable down to the melody. This is the most generic and cliche band ever, I can dream this will be the worst but I can only hope. If you actually happen to like this band you have extremely low expectations.
-
-
ssNov 18, 2005"they sold milions of records" is the worst defence for a band's merit ever. Britney Spears and Vanilla Ice were top sellers too, you know. I give it at least a 1 because they make music that is truly, truly "challenging" to listen to. That takes some effort to do.

Oct 30, 2012I don't even know what to say. It's goddamn Nickelback. It's not incompetently structured, but like... why does this even exist?
-
Apr 7, 2016only two songs off this album was good to me. the rest didnt really hit the nail on the head. i see y alot of people hate this band. Chad has no ability to put depth in his writing. as a song writer he plain sucks.

GraceLApr 12, 2007Oh dear... another Nickleback album. How can you tell? Because the whole album sound the same from beginning to end. The only difference is the tone of the lead singers droning, undeveloped, amateur vocals.
-

FrankG.Jun 14, 2007Horrible... just horrible... my girlfriend gave me this peice of trash and i have to pretend to like it. EVERY SONG IS AT THE SAME TEMPO!

PatrickMSep 4, 2008Nickelback has ruined rock as we know it. There lyrics have know meaning, just the same lovey dovey, sad and lonely song over and over again. This album beats you to death with sex and love songs like the rest of nickelback's albums. There is no meaning at all.

BenKNov 2, 2005Nickelback return with yet another dismal album with samey songs that will bore you.

EffEOct 26, 2005I'm not proud to be Canadian anymore... Worst album ever by one of the worst band in the history of our Country. I can't believe they actually sell cd's...

-
-
MattOct 31, 2005One of the worst bands in recent memory. One needs look no further than that the two clone songs "How You Remind Me" and "Someday." How can a band release two songs two years apart that sound nearly exactly the same? A shame to Canadian music and music in general.
-
-
MangleROct 30, 2005Wow...looks like the same guy decided to raise the rating. Either that or it's just one huge, inbred family. Nice one, guys. You sure know how to show a girl a good time.

FlërnkJan 1, 2006Um... yeah... This album is just plain not good.
-
-
NicholasFJan 2, 2006Kris B seems to think that the genocide that is Nickelback has something to do with Kurt Cobain. Are you insane - don't blame a visionary for the commodified and hollow way Nickelback uses rock/metal. This record is on par with the worst modern music has to offer, and that is saying alot. Unfortunatly people cannot help but lap it up.

ToxicNov 2, 2005Yes..........Canada.........your indie music scene has taken you out of "music hell", but I'll never be able to forgive you for this pitiful band. People that support Nickelback have the worst taste in music and have absolutely zero intelligence. Plain and simple.

MackNov 4, 2005Why must albums like this exist? More importantly, how can anyone listen to this and think, "Wow, that's an incredibly creative, unique, and talented band!"? This is talentless fluff rock created with the sole intent of FM radio play to the vapid hoi poloi that is 99.9% of radio listeners.
-

EllSDec 17, 2005I havent even listened to it and i will never. I just hate Nickelback and i always will. They are the worst band ever. THe world would be a better place without their stupid bullshite songs. I hate them.

SeanCDec 6, 2005Can I give less than 0? I guess not....one of the great mysteries of life is the fact that there are people out there that consume this garbage and fuel the relentless egotism that is Nickleback
-

CablesOct 29, 2005Are these people serious about the album of the year comments? This must be the only album they've listened to this year. Someone please stop Nickelback from making another record before it's too late!
-
-
YourA.Oct 30, 2005This album was so amazing! This is going to be album of the year without a doubt, there is no one even going to come close to making an album as good as this! Sufjan Stevens? Pssh, let's hear it for Nickelback!

karlhJan 14, 2006nickleback are shit. grunge is shit, this record (yes you've guesed it) is..........SHIT
-
-
JimboDec 19, 2006Cliched, commercial rock music. They set out to be grunge, but they miss what grunge was about; fucking the mainstream. The songs all sound the same and these guys have less talent than three oysters and a tuba.
-
-
josakDec 1, 2006One of the most annoying, shitty bands I've ever heard. I just wish I could reach through my TV screen/radio and plant my foot in their faces.

AndrewLOct 27, 2006This album was about as enjoyable as having a rectal examination, Chads singing was the equivalent to a rectal examination, the guitar riffs and drum beats sounded like a guy having a rectal examination

HoobyDoobyJan 6, 2006To Dawn W who said: "The best rock I've heard in over 20 years", I must ask: what in the hell was stuck in your ears for the past 20 years? This is a horrible CD from a soulless pop band. Don't buy. Don't listen. Just walk away.
-
-
JasonSJan 18, 2007Let us all hope that nickelback is this generation's Air Supply, who has largely disappeared, and not this generation's Journey, which still manages to infest the airwaves.
-
-
morganJan 27, 2007Ohh, so THIS is that annoying shit I'm always hearing on the radio. I wish radio stations could tell what songs people were listening to when they changed channels to listen to actual music... I'm sure once radio stations realized that it was Nickelback, hopefully their god-awful, pansy-rock, ripoff, over-produced, and downright annoying music, will end
-
-
ChrisHJun 13, 2007Total Shit! They just recycled old changes and used them for new. Like driving a broke-down chevy.

alexf.Jul 25, 2007It hurt my ears. It was sooooo bland and very very boring. All of Nickelback songs sound the same pointless and boring.
-
-
LuisSOct 12, 2008lol at the person who thinks we hate nickelback because they are Canadian. We hate them because they suck. Rush are Canadian and I love them. Neil Young is Canadian and he's also one of my favorite artists.

sangoMay 25, 2006Someone please destroy mainstream radio. I truly feel sorry for anyone who enjoys this and I hope they have a friend with better tastes in music. If you listen to nickelback, i assume you have already given up on all of the great bands out there. Good music doesn't just fall out of the sky into your lap, you have to go looking for it.
