   I wasn't expecting anything different from Nickelback, so this album did not surprise me. Still, I thought this was a decent album. It still follows the old Nickelback formula: some angst songs, some love songs, some sex songs, a drinking song. But it's much more enjoyable than Dark Horse, their previous album. And "Bottoms Up" is a better party song than anything that lame-ass duo LMFAO can come up with. Nickelback fans will probably enjoy this album. Nickelback haters will obviously hate it. I don't care if you hate this band. But I can assure you there are much worse acts out there.… Expand

   A typical Nickelback album in many ways: semi-catchy melodies, crunching guitars, and the familiar growl of Chad Kroeger following "Midnight Queen" (about a girl he'd like to offer a 'sucker' to) a few tracks later with "Trying Not To Love You". Sure, Chad, whatever you say. The incongruous tone to the album is among its amusing qualities. It's basically channeling Dark Horse and the last few albums they've made, and the truth is, they know how to make this type of music, and it sells. There are worse bands out there, even if the thought of this band making 4-5 more albums as the years go along doesn't exactly fill me with anticipation. Standouts (in this case meaning less mediocre than the rest of the album): This Means War, Lullaby and When We Stand Together.… Expand

   I'm getting really tired of this. Here we go again: formulaic, uninspired, meat and potatoes, playing it safe, repetitive, songs are either about sex, drugs, alcohol, parties, sex, drugs or sex. I'm getting tired of writing and or saying the same thing when I review a Nickelback album. Come on guys, if you're going to make **** music, then at least give me something else I can say about it?… Expand
