"Same shit, different day Can't keep playing if I can't get paid" Sums up Nickelback nicely. Not their worst song through.
Ugh. The song is just too...blegh. The lyrics are cringe-worthy and too cheesy instead of edgy, and the instrumentation sounds like...well, name any hard rock Nickelback song from the past few albums. Actually, the first song that popped into my head was somewhat of "Chalk Outline" by Three Days Grace. Sigh, Nickelback. Namedropping the New York Times and CIA and NSA the way you guys did are NOT how you get your message across.
I wasn't really saying that being well known means good music. I'm just saying is that just because if some band follow the "If it's not broken, don't fix it direction" and don't treat it like it's rocket science doesn't mean it's bad to everyone. That's one thing most originally/music progressive whores don't seem to understand.
Doing the same thing over and over again, even more so when it's bland cock-rock, is the bane of the prog mindset's existence. People can just be massive double bags sometimes.
I just listened to Edge Of A Revolution. Um. Something about a Canadian band singing about American politics with words like"we" rubs me in a very unpleasant way..
What you idiots guys do heavily impacts what happens up here and in the rest of the world. Countries rely on each other these days more then ever before.
NB isn't the first Canadian band that wrote a song inspired by American politics. Sum 41 had done a few on one of their most recent albums. It's nothing really new about it, even a few British bands had done it a few times before.
