New Nickelback album

[LCMBassist]

I've just received some new tracks off the new Nickelback album, Dark Horse....it's the standard Nickelback mix of ballads mixed with heavier rock tunes. What's different is that the riffs have gone more classic rock and bluesy than on previous albums. BUT, the main point is, Mike's bass sounds like it's going to tear your face off. It's what I like to hear. Anyone else got it?

[Lucky Strike]

Hopefully it turns out better than that dud Three Doors Down released.

I wonder if its Pile Drivingly Heavy^TM?

[T.O.Bass]

People listen to Nickelback?

[Stu L.]

I caught the tail end of the new single yesterday. I thought it was pretty good, but I like Nickelback's music.

[Fontaine]

Nickelback suck.

+1 I used to ignore people's snide remarks about the band until I heard that one recording of 2 Nickleback songs split to the left and right channels and they'd used the same damned song twice. Cheesey! Mind you I didn't own the album so I wasn't "ripped off". I wish I had a link to that, maybe someone else here has it?

Ah, thanks.


EDIT: I like it better if the two songs are mixed. Sounds cool.
I can see a market for this.
I seem to like Nickelback².

We did mash ups like that in my first band.
an Incubus song mashed with a Disturbed song
I Alone (live) with me playing the Orion bass interlude instead of the regular bassline

sorry for the derailing


If Nickelback makes people happy with their music that's good.
They are not forcing me to buy their albums. (It would take a lot of force.)

The Nickelback talent&originality issue is beating a dead horse.

I can take people not liking it, music is a taste and everyone's entitled to their own tastes. HOWEVER, what I don't get it the amount of hate Nickelback receive....what did they do to deserve this? It also annoys me when I hear people go 'Nickelback fans should be shot because they aren't a propper rock band'. Well, excuse me, who decides what propper rock IS? And for the record, I like Pantera, Metallica, AIC, Slipknot, and various other heavy bands. I just don't like the 'I can't like any form of music if the band release anything that is remotely commercial' attitude that seems to stem from some fans of metal and rock.

+1 I am not a Nickelback fan but IMO it seems to be fans of a lot of different genres that bash popular groups not just metal. I really have a tough time believing that anybody on this forum used to playing in front of 25 to 200 people would tell Nickelback to take a hike if offered the bass spot. A world tour playing in arenas with tons of pyro to 10,000+ fans each night or suffer in obscurity for the love of the music. I know what my choice would be.

For what it's worth Nickelback used to play local bars in our city before they hit it big. They had a great reputation for being a throw-it-down live act. Winnipeg was one of the first cities anywhere to catch onto the band.

Still their ballads don't do much for me.

Very good band live. Very entertaining.

I'll buy it. I haven't really liked the last album or 2 so much but tehy're OK by me.

[Happynoj]

I'm not a massive fan of Nickelback, but I never really understood the insanely massive amount of hate that they seem to be on the receiving end of 96% of the time.

[::::BASSIST::::]

There is just something about the singer's voice that drives me NUTTY.

Glad that they are doing well. Just not my cup of tea.
