Nickelback is a famous Canadian hard rock band. Since starting in 1995, they attained world fame with some hit songs like Far Away, Rockstar, Burn It To The Ground and others. Their latest album "Here And Now" was released this November 21st. Critics claimed that, "The Canadian troupe may have grown musically, but they didn't grow in their latest album." Is this true? Well, to be exact, there's two groups. One that favors Nickelback and one that doesn't. But, according Billboard.com, this album is a positive and may even hit #1 or #2 on the Billboard chart. A track to track review of their album can be found on Billboard.com. But, to be more precise, here's my review of the album and how I felt about it:
A good overall album with many different types of songs which gets various emotions playing. A good overall album to check out and purchase.
1. This Means War: BANG! The album starts off with a metal song with lots of anger and intensity. Loud metallic distorted guitars really gets the blood flowing through your veins. But, maybe not the best song to start off with.
2. Bottoms Up: A good drumming upbeat into a groovy guitar intro. A good song to for bars and nightclubs, drinking and stuff like that.
3. When We Stand Together: A good acoustic song with a heavy bass line and a drumming upbeat that keeps on going throughout the song. A good choice for the not-so-hardcore people.
4. Midnight Queen: A fast song with good guitars. A weird song; not really their best work so far.
5. Gotta Get Some: This song is about Chad Kroeger's dream girl. For all the girls who think Chad is a hottie, you can check out this song to know the type you must be to get a dream-date with Chad.
6. Lullaby: A really soft song with a different ambient. The intro is worth listening to, because it's got a different type of ambient.
7. Kiss It Goodbye: A hard-hitting rock song after some 'different' type of songs. A song with a good beat and some echo like vocal work. Trademark for Nickelback.
8. Trying Not To Love You: A song with a blend of country and romance. A good check-out for the romance loving people.
9. Holding On To Heaven: Another love song after 'Trying Not To Love You'. Good lyrics, a very well written song in my opinion.
10. Everything I Wanna Do: A hard, but melodic rock song. Maybe not be very appropriate for children.
11. Don't Ever Let It End: A gentle end to the album. This is a soft, harmonic song which promotes romance even more.
