Throughout their nine-year career, Nickelback have stayed true to their roots, releasing five CDs of straight-up, unapologetic rock & roll. So how have things changed for the Canadian boys since the massive success of Silver Side Up and The Long Road? Well, brothers Chad and Mike Kroeger still live in the Great White North, and they still write hook-laden rock songs. The only difference now is that they have the satisfaction, 10 million CDs later, of smugly knowing that even some of their biggest naysayers will guiltily admit to singing along with Nickelback's catchy hits. On All the Right Reasons, one track definitely ranks high up in hum-ability: the first single, "Photograph," reminisces about the bittersweetness of high school in a small town--once again reconfirming frontman Chad Kroeger's ability to write memorable hooks. Regarding the rest of the disc: standard rock topics like love, lust, jealousy, and breakups abound, with riff-y delivery that longtime fans will love. The guilty pleasure bunch will also find what they need within the grooves, on the ballad "If Everyone Cared," the riff-heavy "Fight for All the Wrong Reasons," and the Metallica-inspired "Savin' Me." The disc's most impressive and simultaneously surreal moment, however, exists on "Side of a Bullet," a passionate revenge tale written about the killer of Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, which features one of the late Abbott's guitar solos as donated by Pantera bandmate and brother, drummer Vinnie Paul. --Denise Sheppard

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective CD?, September 17, 2009

By	I hate society. - See all my reviews

Nickelback was a band I had heard of, but I'm not very into the modern music scene. My friend suggested this CD to me.

I ordered this CD with high hopes. When I got it and put it into my laptop, everything seemed normal. There was every song, different names, different lengths.

I listened to the first song, and all was well. I then moved on to the second song.

It was the exact same song? I knew I couldn't be mistaken. Surely every song would have its own unique attributes to differentiate from the others. I went on to the next song, and then the next...but every single one was the exact same.

I called my friend who had suggested the CD, but she said her CD was fine and that maybe something was wrong with mine. We got to talking about music videos and she told me her two favorites, I went and looked them up online.

IT WAS THE SAME SONG FOR BOTH VIDEOS.

I'm completely confused. Why are all the songs exactly the same?

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new to offer, December 9, 2005

By	DrIdiot - See all my reviews

The nu-metal genre has long overstayed its welcome.

Nickelback's new album has nothing new to offer.

Instead of buying this new album, you could simply take any other Nickelback album and listen to it (or not...) and you would experience the exact same thing. Repeating riffs through the entire CD.

Next.

1.0 out of 5 stars trash, March 6, 2007

By	Dr. Felbsworthy "The Cyborg" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

"Corporate Rock" as others have called it, truly souless, recycled pop music designed for people who aren't aware of any musical outlet but clearchannel and MTV.

This is a hack job; a mundane, old mixture of every rock album released over the last decade. From the remarkably foul hick twang in the vocals, to the Creed and 7 mary 3 inspired kindergarten riffs, to the classless lyrics. You can only expect even more base material to be inspired by this junk.

Unfortunately, wether you buy it or not, it doesn't matter, you wont escape it's noxious sound for the rest of your mortal life.
