    I know I probably get lynched for saying this but I like Nickelback. People love to hate 'em because their songs sound similar but the same argument can be made for LP (older stuff). Plus they sound great live, almost like the album. Any other fans out there?

    I like them. I only have about 5 songs but they're all good. I'd listen to a cd if someone had it with them.

    if you haven't heard it already the song Breathe is really good. I really like it but I like anything with a talk box for some reason so it's probably not as good as I think

    You know, at first I was like, "Nickelback fucking blows." But lately I'm loving them. Thanks to my cousins. Although I still can't stand that This Is How You Remind Me song. But Animals, IMO, is the best song they do.

    I love that intro. Follow You Home has a sick drum intro as well. They're a lot better since Daniel Adair became their drummer

    Some of Nickelback's songs are very good.

    Then the other songs just are pure cheese. If they'd figure out what they did right with the GOOD songs and made a whole album with the good, I'd probably like them more lol.

    I've liked them less and less as the years have gone by, I liked their older stuff much better. They pretty much passed my point of no return after that Photograph song. Ugh. Derek hit it on the nose with the word "cheese".

    I think Nickelback's harder songs are really good but the softer ones tend to be bland and boring. I really like "Side of a Bullet" and "Rockstar"

    Most of the songs that are chessey are the singles. But people will listen to them so that's why they do it. I disagree about the older stuff though. I think their new album is the best. Next Contestant is my favorite song

    There was a time when I thought Silver Side Up was a really good album. Chad and Ryan are both pretty good guitar players. However from what I've seen, Chad's a bigtime jerk, and he also seems content with rewriting the same song every single time it comes time to release a single.

    I haven't listened to them in so long. I have no idea if they have even released anything recently. I really liked the old songs though.

    holy shit I forgot they sang "Photograph" that song f***ing SUCKS. Breathe has a cool intro with the guitar, and I don't even know what a "talk box" is but I still like the song lol.

    I guess they're good at what they do, which is write hooky-but-repetitive radio rock songs. It's just not my thing at all.
