Amazon.co.uk Review
Nickleback haven’t made it this far by throwing their audience difficult curveballs, and All The Right Reasons--the Canadian quartet’s fourth full-length--continues their run of uncomplicated, testosterone-soaked hard-rock albums without a wobble. Frontman Chad Kroeger still approaches the act of songcraft like he’s chopping wood, grunting and sweating under the weight of gritted-teeth rock-outs like "Fight For All The Wrong Reasons" and "Someone That You’re With". Critics have it in for Nickleback for many of the same reasons they have it in for Stereophonics--these songs promise emotional weight and hard-won truths, but have a tendency to mistake joylessness for passion. However, you can spot the hits a mile off. "Side Of A Bullet" is dedicated to deceased ex-Pantera man Dimebag Darrell, and even features an overdubbed axe solo from said guitarist, while "Photograph" sees Kroeger getting misty-eyed--almost whimsical--over an old school photo. Ultimately, though, it’s more of the same. Which should suit the Nickleback faithful just fine. --Louis Pattison
Customer Reviews
Ah
I once saw an interview where Chad Kroeger said he asked fans what made How You Remind Me work. People said the chorus, the catchy riffs etc. So basically that's what the man cares about which disheartens me. I bought The Long Road and I really like Someday, but on every album they make 3 or 4 singles and the rest appears to be just filler, something to pad it out to called it an album. Hopefully Nickelback realise their sell out status and make music for the right reasons, as the album title misleads.
hmm... It's Nickelback, you either love it or hate it
Nickelback, long remembered for their 2001 smash hit "How You Remind Me" are a bit like marmite, (hence the title of this review) critics hate them, but out there million of fans love them making them probably one of the most sucessful rock bands of the 2000's.
How is this I hear you say?
Well, Chad Kroeger and co know how to write a cheesey rock song and make it stick in your head, take "Rockstar" for example, it's probably one of the worst songs ever written but it's proved to be a smash hit.
Nickeback's music - it's rock, (Hard rock at a push) but maintains a certain mainstream appeal, their almost in a genre of their own.
Chad Kroeger has always been a bit of a power ballad rockstar, take on this album song's like "Photograph" "Savin Me" "Far Away" and "If Everyone Cared," hear any one of these and you have pretty much heard all that Nickelback can offer.
But no-one can deny this formula works, "All The Right Reason" has sold over 11 million copies worldwide, and no record label executive will argue with that.
If it's rock music with a certain commercial appeal your after, then this album is for you, just don't expect a musical miracle every time you press play on a Nickelback record.
Zero stars should be a special 'Nickelback option'
Chad Kroeger is a song writing genious. Not, of course, for ANY of the right reasons, but because he has a truly remarkable ability to churn out some of the most pathetic songs ever recorded and still sell millions of records. For this he deserves credit - in the same way Hitler deserves credit for tricking Europe into allowing him to rise to power.
It is not an exxaggeration in any way to describe Nickelback as the worst band ever. Chad Kroeger is the most listener-insultingly abysmal lyricist that I have ever heard. Before you pre-pubescent fans jump to his defence, I have evidence, in the form of some lines from the album:
"She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing"
"It's just a little hard to leave/When you're going down on me"
Now, anyone Nickelback fans with any decency (ridiculous idea, I know) will be too embarrased to disagree with this. Don't worry though, kids - by your 12th birthday you'll have got over this band. It's easy, really. Just listen to more music. Because the reality is this: Nickelback are the perfect band for people who don't like music.
