Editorial Reviews
Produced by Nickelback and recorded at Mountain View Studios, Vancouver, BC, Here and Now is Nickelback s seventh studio record and is the follow up to 2008 s widely successful Dark Horse which has been certified 3-times platinum.
"When you listen to this record, it sounds like it could be from four different artists," says Chad Kroeger. "We always try and do the same thing: We try to do something heavier than we've ever done, more melodic than we've ever done, every single time we do this, and I think we've achieved it again."

Nickelback return with another strong album that combines their trademarks of big guitars with massive vocal hooks into another set of memorable songs that guarantees them lots of commercial radio play. This time round the band decided to produce the album themselves and they have done a great job after working with the legendary rock producer Mutt Lange on their previous album Dark Horse. It might not be quite as shiny as Dark Horse but the production on Here & Now is still absolutely huge with lots of great big guitar tones, awesome backing vocal arrangements, and a nice solid drum sound. Highlights include the frantic riffs of the killer opening track "This Means War", the massive party anthem "Bottoms Up", the rocking grooves of "Gotta Get Me Some", the epic power ballad "Lullaby" which has some really nice piano parts, and the heartfelt sentiment of "Trying Not To Love You". If you're a fan of what Nickelback do then you will love this album. If you are yet to warm to their style of catchy commercial rock then you might want to avoid Here & Now because it offers more of the same.

I have to say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and when it comes to music, pretty much everybody has one. I'm not here to try to discredit any other reviews from anyone regarding any album. I also understand that there will always be a large group of people who will criticize successful, popular, mainstream acts just because it's not 'cool' to like anything that everyone else likes. However, I do have to question those that have stated Nickelback has 'sold out' or gone 'poppy'. As far as I can tell those folks have got to be basing their opinions solely on the tracks being played on radio. And additionally, I challenge anyone to go back and listen to Nickelback's earlier work and claim that it's 'harder' than their more recent efforts. I own every Nickelback album and personally believe that the only key difference is production. Modern albums I admit are highly polished, but that happens to be something that I appreciate. Nickelback is one of those bands, like many great and successful bands throughout history, which have been able to find their 'niche' and stick with it. One thing that I've always appreciated about Nickelback is the fact that I can be confident with every new album they will stay true to what has made them successful and what I love. You will always be able to tell you're listening to Nickelback. Their new album is no exception. Like many other NB records, they come out of the gates and kick you square in the teeth. This Means War has got to be one of the hardest hitting, foot stomping, fist pumping, head banging tracks they've written to date. Follow that up with the catchy Bottoms Up, and you've got a fantastic 1-2 punch to get the album kicked off. When we Stand Together seems to have received a lot of criticism which I don't understand. Popular bands have an ability to reach a massive audience and writing a song that touches on world peace and unity isn't such a bad thing is it? There have been similar songs on almost all other NB albums and you can bet that yes, this will get a lot of radio play. I also add that 'Lullaby' is one of the most beautiful, well written songs I've ever heard. And again, is discouraging someone from committing suicide a bad thing? It has been written that Chad listened to thousands of popular songs and bands and analyzed what made them a mainstream success. I have a feeling that many thousands of artists in the future will be doing the same with NB. Chad has an uncanny ability to paint pictures with words and in my opinion, is one of the best song writers in the last few decades.
So, long story long Nickelback has stayed true to what has made them successful on their new effort. There are plenty of hard rocking sexually/booze charged anthems, as well as a hand full of heartfelt ballads. I say it every time I go out and buy a new NB album, but I swear this one's just about perfect. If you don't like Nickelback, I wouldn't recommend this album because it sounds a lot like Nickelback!
