This is good, quality hard rock at its finest.īy 2008, Nickelback were undoubtedly two things one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, and also one of the most hated.
And while ‘Here and Now’ may not be anything groundbreaking or innovative, the truth is, it doesn’t need to be. The likes of ‘This Means War’, ‘Bottoms Up’, ‘Lullaby’, ‘Kiss It Goodbye’, ‘When We Stand Together’ and ‘Trying Not to Love You’ are all exceptional rock songs that are certainly worth a listen or two. While Nickelback will never be known specifically for virtuoso musicianship, there’s no denying their penchant for writing catchy and memorable songs, and with beastly guitar riffs and pounding drums aplenty, there’s an abundance of quality material here. For the most part, they’re usually a fine old slab of cheese, but anyone willing to dig a little deeper can see that occasionally the band can have something meaningful or poignant to say. Sex, women and parties are usually at the top of the bill, but there are themes of unity, suicide and dependence too. The lyrics, as always, range from the usual rock debauchery to more introspective and reflective themes.
