WTF is Pinball Wizard?!?
Don't like the main rhythm guitar tone on this new NB for the most part. Too fuzzy IMO. The last one had way better guitars. Everything was fucking HUGE on the last album. EVERYTHING. Drums, bass and vox are stellar as usual, fucking assholes...

Well I think the best is to have at least 2 bands, the first one where you write what you really like, the second one being your band of prostitutes, where you only make prefabricated music for money. That's what I'm doing right now, but it is still at project phase. My first one being prog/death songs where I experiment a lot, the second one being songs a la Seether/Shinedown/Disturbed. I still like the songs I'm composing for my band of prostitutes though.
I REALLY prefer to play prefabricated music radio-friendly music for 13 years old girls than work my ass off 9-5 5 days a week. I want to live by music, and I don't care if the songs I played aren't my favorite.
I liked your comparison with Hitler tough

It's great not having TV for a few years, I completely tune out anything mainstream. Didn't know this was out, it sounds interesting based on the clips on iTunes. Take a look at the credits for the album, how many big names are involved in this besides Mutt:

Pretty crazy. It definitely sounds like the modern Hysteria. Like Hysteria, it seems musically great and terrible at the same time, but worth having around as a mix reference CD. I will very likely be picking this one up.

The drums on this one sound like Slate on crack. I could almost swear I hear some Z4 ambiance on the snare in S.E.X.
Don't like how there isn't a wall of mesa anymore. That was the only redeeming quality of their past music. Now it's just pure, utter, absolute, repeatable trash.... with great production.

I agree far too much with Metaltastic.
I truly hope that I never have to listen to anything half as asstastic as Nickelback for any reason at all. I understand that some here need to hear cutting-edge mixes to be inspired and 'with it', but listening to Nickelback for the production is like eating a shit-on-cumstain sandwich because it was toasted in a $5000 oven.

Totally agree. There is a TON of music out there that I really don't care for, but I can't deny it if someone is an excellent song writer, or musician in their own right, completely aside from the fact if the production quality itself is fantastic.
Usually for me, the reaction is "Don't really care for the music, but man those guys are fucking awesome.".
It happens. A lot.
I got your back brother
Yeah they are the mold that the new cookie cutter rock bands have been pressed from. They are good at what they do but curse them for what they have spawned.

Yeah, I suppose whichever way you try to justify their existence, it always comes back to the fact that they are a symptom of the many things wrong with the mainstream music industry.

I hope this will be the last post in this thread, and I am personally at a loss for words after listening to the first song on Nickelback's latest album. Gentlemen, a preemptive strike is necessary. How in the Christ could anyone actually..................sigh..............ah what's the point? The production on Highschool Musical 3 was also top notch.
Below are the lyrics to the first song off said album.
got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
they say its over budget but you'd pay her just to touch it come on
needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
if hollywood had called her she'd be gone before holler her come on
pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long
doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along
(you naughty thing)
your ripping up the dance floor honey
(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone
(your such a mover)
i love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb
your so much cooler when you never pull it out
cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
crafty little lip tricks
tattoos on her left hip
she bending as your spending
theres no ending it so baby come on
dressed up like a princess
bettin' that her skin smells better
than the scent of every flower in the desert come on
pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long.
doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along
(you naughty thing)
your ripping up the dance floor honey

(your such a mover)
i love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb
your so much cooler when you never pull it out
cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
she loves the night scene bar queen
living for the fun taking over every dance floor like shes the only one
in the spotlight all night dissing everyone
trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb
your so much cooler
when you never pull it out
so much cuter
with something in your mouth
(you naughty thing)

nickelback is so unoriginal, they duplicate their own songs and use different lyrics.

Splat: those are perfectly fine pop/rock lyrics about a night out and a hot chick in a club/bar. A lot of their fans will listen to this and think, "damn, I know a hottie just like this and I wanna be cool like Chad Kroeger and put my lil something in her mouth, too". Pop and Rock are about creating little 3 minute dream bubbles for the everyday people who just listen to the radio on the way to work or when they put makeup on to go out. Good pop lyrics need to connect the real lives of those people to some image that they know and want or know and don't want, but can relate to. And Nickelback do that better than anyone else (outside of the country music world).
I am actually a big fan of Kroeger's lyrics. They are very vivid and paint a clear picture in front of my mind's eye, with clever punchlines thrown in every now and then. This style is much harder to write than regular metal lyrics that usually "leave everything open to interpretation for the listener, because we don't wanna tell them what to think!" (that's rockmusician lingo for: we didn't have a fuckin clue what we were doing and we just wrote shit that sounded good).
Most of you guys who are bitching and talking shit about Nickelback need to understand that they are not doing music as an art, but as a money making machine. It's the music BUSINESS and not the music art collective and Nickelback are at the top of the foodchain generating squillions of dollars.

nickelback lyrics are either genius or horrendous, depends on whether they are being serious or not. If so then its worrying numbskull guff, if they are kinda tounge in cheek then they are pretty clever and funny.
Thats how i see it. same with manowar - if they are serious then it is a bit sad, if it is just a bit of fun then it is great. I take it as that.
Production is really good as always, although i prefer the more ringy snares they have previously had (sounds a bit kinda short and gated on this i think).
As i was checking out the new album i was thinking "imagine if Death Magnetic had this production!".
