Nickelback The group has many notable artists like Chad Kroeger,Ryan Peake,Mike Kroeger,Daniel Adair,Ryan Vikedal. The band achieved significant commercial success with this album, as well as with its follow-up, Silver Side Up in 2001. ![]() The State re-released their once-independent album The State in 1999. Their song "How You Remind Me" was listed as the best-selling rock song of the decade. In 2009, Billboard ranked them the most successful rock group of that decade. It achieved its current lineup when Adair replaced Ryan Vikedal. The band went through several drummer changes between 19. The track has an affiliation to the band(s) - Nickelback.Ībout Nickelback : The band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. It was released as part of album All the Right Reasons. "Far Away" was a huge success in the U.S. The song was re-released in the United Kingdom on Septemfollowing the success of "Rockstar" and "Photograph" This release also reached number 40 in the UK singles chart, The song was the second top ten single from their latest album All the Right Reasons. To judge the whole album as utterly terrible, on the other hand, is an action that should probably be reconsidered.Far Away - Nickelback - Bass Tabs Mike Kroeger And unfortunately, it's mostly the singles that are of lesser quality. When it comes to Nickelback, it's simply a matter of being able to tell between their good songs and their bad songs. And "Rockstar" still looks incredibly, intentionally funny on paper, just not so much as an annoying country-tinged ear-worm. "Far Away" is far and away the best of the slower songs, mostly because of the drum work. Still, "Next Contestant" and "Side of a Bullet" manage to be great rockers that avoid cliche sing-a-long choruses. There's no in-between, and that makes this album incredibly hit-and-miss, very spotty, and uneven. It sounds too much like a compilation of hits, which are all either hard rockers or ballads. There's no denying that All the Right Reasons is not perfect. And "Savin' Me," despite being a decent song, could use a little bit more flair. That doesn't hide the fact that the latter song attempts to be an anthem, though. "Savin' Me" starts off with some acoustic picking, whereas "If Everyone Cared" begins with subtle piano. "Savin' Me" and "If Everyone Cared" are two more tracks that sound good at first, only to sound plain mediocre after repeated listens. Finally, "Rockstar" is 100% satirical for sure, but even so, it only sounds good once. Somewhere out there, Kim is cringing at those lyrics written by her former boyfriend (unless that kiss was a dare, which is probably more likely). "Animals" is completely ruined by its overtly sexual messages, and "Photograph" by its stupid attempt at nostalgia and sentiment. ![]() Although "Far Away" is a decent song (albeit with cheesy lyrics), "Photograph," "Animals," and especially "Rockstar" should not ever be played more than once. And considering that most of those aforementioned songs weren't singles, then it's obvious that it's the singles that bring down the album. The rest of the record is exactly what you would expect from a hard rock/post-grunge band like Nickelback. "Side of a Bullet" kind of cheats by overdubbing a guitar solo from Dimebag Darrell, whom both the track and album are dedicated to, yet the rest of the chugging guitars are some of the finest riffs that the band has ever played. Double bass drums kick off the opener, "Follow You Home," plus there's a nice bit of rumbling bass guitar on "Fight for All the Wrong Reasons." And "Next Contestant" has a weird guitar effect in the beginning that demands your attention. ![]() Yet this also just so happens to be an album that at least plays to their instrumental strengths. Their singer either makes or breaks the band's likeability.Īll of these flaws are still present on their 2005 album, All the Right Reasons. Their songs are similar once you get down to it. They're not innovative, at least not outside of the post-grunge genre. But there really isn't a lot to hate about Nickelback either. There's not a lot to love about Nickelback. Review Summary: Great album tracks, so-so singles. ![]()
