I like in their song "Rockstar" how he says,"I'm gonna dress my----ASS----with the latest fashions..." He says "ass" in such a pronounced way,so full of giddy glee,like he's such a naughty boy for using such vulgarity as if saying a word allowed on daytime TV makes him so offensive and cool in a world that contains Fifty Cent. "I bet your mom and dad wouldn't want you to listen to me,kids,I'm TEH RIBELLION!" The rest of their songs are cloying pap. I swear to God the Village People sound less gay than Nickelback.
Well, there's no "meh" option, so I'll throw a vote in the "Yay" column. They really only have two songs, "sex-related alt-rock station song" and "top 40/lite rock station power ballad", that they just change the lyrics on and re-release to fill new albums...but I happen to like their "sex-related alt-rock station song" and it's many different sets of lyrics. For me, Nickelback is like Disturbed: Most of their songs sound the same as their other songs and I can't listen to much of them in one sitting, but in small doses, I enjoy some of their stuff.
There's maybe one decent song on every album they put out. After that, everything they do is exactly the same as what they did last time around.
They're what the record labels try to force down our throats via buying extensive amounts of radio time. It is vomited back at them. I can't think of any band more boring. There are plenty of bands that sing about their own shallow materialistic desires, and plenty of bands with a bland generic sound, but few can combine the two, and make such a gray flavorless mush out of it as does Nickelback. "Hero" was good, but they've done nothing but lower themselves since.
Their songs are pretty catchy, so gonna have to go with yay on this one... Prefere their older stuff though.
If you like Nickelback, then you hate music. Possibly the most terribly juvenile lyrics i've ever read from an adult. You really have to be an idiot to listen to this. It insults the intelligence of even the least intelligent people here, I'm sure.
