    If only they would just fall over and die. They are no better than an emo band, except at least emo admits their pussy

    As a Canadian I Officially Apologize for the existence of not only this album but this band. Except they're from Alberta, so it's not really my fault. Oh well.

    Of all the hate rants (and the few sarcastic 10s, especially Josh Cs) the best thing I've read on here is only three words long. Nickleback is terrible. Yes, Chris M, they are terrible.

Nickleback is terrible. Yes, Chris M, they are terrible. But there is nothing we can do about that now. Now, we have to learn to live in a post-Nickleback world, where truelly good bands have to succumb to "you didn't sell 30 million records, so you must not be good" criticisms from illiterate, FM radio drones. And why do so many people throw out the jealousy card? No matter how much money they make, and no matter how many whores they bang, and no matter how many redneck teens worship them, I will never, ever want to be anything resembling Nickleback. They are phonies, and you all just got played, suckers. And the worst part is, they'll never thank you for buying those 30 million records. By the way, while people are comparing them to Creed, maybe they'll go the same way as Creed and break up early. Then you guys can look forward to Chad Kroger porn videos. Oh God, I regret writing that. That would be one photograph I would never look at. Ha, I made a pun. Stupid Photograph...… Expand

    Nickelback has cliche rock music, all the songs are the same, it's pretty much complete garbage. Do yourself a favor and never listen to this album again.

There is nothing in this album that is original, interesting, or particularly good. It is all formulated to get maximum radio play, and apparently, they are succeeding in that area. One of the worst aspects of this album, though, is the lyrics. I could actually predict what the next line would be in many cases. Hopefully Canada will produce more Arcade Fire-like bands as opposed to Nickelback-inspired, because if it is the latter, Canadian music has a very grim fate indeed.… Expand

This music is sappy, boring, lowest-common-denominator shit. To make it worse, they reuse their music, recycling old cords and rythms, only slightly changing the lyrics. Honest to god, Joey, what the fuck does that score up there tell you? That the majority of the world is somehow missing the beauty of Nickleback? Yeah, millions of people bought this record, and now they clearly regret it. So don't single me out, asshole. You're vastly outnumbered here.… Expand

    Pointless lyrics, blander songs cannot be found. Stylistically, a studio-created mash-up of Metallica, Pearl Jam, and Creed. This band has no sound of its own. Nickelback epitomizes what is wrong with music today.

    great capabilities, and great presence. - that much is true.
    other than that, we are definitely talking about one of the most horrible bands in recent years.
    absolutely no originality whatsoever.
    lyrics that are obviously trying to get 13 year old boys and girls excited.
    talking about wanting to be a rockstar? i mean, since when did intelligent thinking lose its weight in music evaluation? and the most predictable lyrics i've ever friggin' seen, no depth, no nothing!
    about the playboy mansion and fifteen cars.. aren't these guys in their late 30's by now? is this for real?
    it is borderline retarded! and just thinking that someone (EVER) compared this band to pearl jam or other bands as such makes me wanna vomit..
    my god people.. listen to words by eddie vedder.. actual depth.. his no poet.. and he does slip into cliches now and again.. but he has substance.. this has nothing.. bad rhymes with the catchiest melodies they could think of!! you know why certain melodies are catchy?? cuz you friggin' heard them before a million times!! in fact, you heard them on the last nickelback album!!
    i would seriously reconsider my friendship with any person who claims he likes nickelback. this album, and for that matter, their body of... um.. work.. is an insult to human intelligence.
    its fine when you are 12-13, i mean, it is eye level with you and it is exciting.
    but this is no music for grown people.
    this is eye level to them becuz nickelback think like twelve year olds.
    btw - the first time i heard nickelback was "hero" which is not exactly nickelback, but same same.. and i remember thinking - this is a bit too popy.. but there is a sleight chance there is something behind this band... TOTALY **** WRONG    … Expand

    dear nickelback, stop making music. Your songs all sound alike, all their songs are about sex, drinking, and partying, your lyrics are boring, generic, and just uninspired. These guys killed post grunge with a shovel and creed made sure it stayed dead.

    A bunch of groaning and terrible talent. I am not surprised that people in Portugal chunked rocks at them. They are extremely bland and their songs have the most shallow meanings that my Yorkshire Terrier's defecation sounds better and sound more deep than this abomination. I am a fan of rock and all genres of music... but this? WAT DA F#$ IS DIZ!?!?!?!

Regardless, diehard fans of Nickelback might still find reasons to like this album, but anyone else should avoid All The Right Reasons at all costs (wow, even my criticism doesn't sound right).
    Note: I actually am not a Nickelback hater as many people reading this review might assume, as I actually like many of the singles they have released throughout the years. I just think this album is one of the worst albums ever.    … Expand
