What Are You Listening To?

[LMD]

i have all of Nickelback's studio albums, the problem i have with them is that i feel there is always several 'filler' tracks on them, but that is offset with some good stuff also...

i saw them live last november for the first time...they are much better as a live act than a recording band IMO, lots more "oomph!" in their live renditions of songs and Chad Kroeger sure can belt out a tune in concert

ratings:

studio performances 6/10
live performances 8/10

Yeah, SSU definitely has some filler on it. I really like "The Long Road" though. I think that's a really solid mainstream rock album. Its not going to win any awards or anything, in my book at least, but when compared to other albums in the same general genre, I rank it pretty highly.

I used to defend Nickleback against the haters. Not anymore. They do suck, in my opinion. I do recognize their pop skillz, but enough is enough. I am so tired of them. But, to keep this post balanced, I am not afraid to admit they have some great songs. I really like "Breathe," "Too Bad," and although I can't say I love the song "Animals," the energy in that tune is infectious.

EDIT: I also like "hero" :peep:

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of their new stuff. I dropped off the wagon after "All The Right Reasons." Solid album, but not good enough for me to go out of my way to buy. The 2 after just haven't done it for me. But, I won't consider them anywhere near "Worst band in history" status because I do enjoy their earlier stuff. Not afraid to admit that either.
