    So... which Nickelback album is this again? "Experimentation" doesn't seem to be a word that exist in this band's vocabulary. But then again, neither does "quality."

    Hey look, more of the same Nickelback music about liquor and sex and rocking. These washed up punks need to take their crap elsewhere and stop embarrassing Canadians who have to justify the Canadian music scene to their international friends

    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?

    This Means War and Bottoms Up are such generic rock "anthems" that they could have been releases in any decade since the '80s. The lyrics, meanwhile, seem to date from the '70s, possibly the 1870s. [3 Dec 2011, p.51]

    Nickelback's seventh studio album arrives nearly three years after their multi-platinum-selling, 2008 release Dark Horse.

    Even as Here And Now inspires massive eye-rolls, the nefariously catchy songs stick like stepped-in dog crap.
