About this deal

The former is the briefest to qualify—there’s all the chest-puffing and classic rock worship fed through, holding as a swaggering, masculine-coded base that indulges in its softer side too. Granted, that’s not to excuse the clangers that are also prone within that usual package, of which Get Rollin’ continues to have its fair share.

When the subject of a release date came up, Mike said “it’ll be done when it’s done”, explaining that he and band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making “a shitty record”. The branding they’ve picked up has made it an unavoidable thorn to be pulled at, though somewhat futilely given that any critical reevaluation of Nickelback is effectively pointless. If anything, it’s a similar end to where a lot of country music was in the 2010s, slightly in execution but mostly in ethos. The album's lead single " San Quentin" was released on September 7, 2022, accompanied by an official lyric video.But even saying all that, there can be a certain degree of embarrassment felt from sticking up for a band like this, especially when a new album comes out. Let’s be totally honest—the hatred for Nickelback has always been overdone, and it’s good to see that people are finally starting to move away from performative ‘worst band ever’ admonishments when there are far easier targets out there. Weekly Digital Album Ranking dated November 28, 2022 (November 14, 2022 – November 20, 2022)] (in Japanese). Nickelback is the 11th best selling musical act of all time with over 50,000,000 units sold and the 2nd best selling "foreign" group in the U.

And after all, the album still averages out in usual Nickelback fashion, in which there’s no edge or transgression, or ambition outside of the broadest plays for the down-the-middle rock crowd. Mike Kroeger spoke of his personal desire to move in more of a heavy metal direction, or wanting to do an album of Slayer cover songs. That could be the whole reason Steel Still Rusts is here, as a song about a young man going off to war that’s more a celebration of veterans and soldiers than anything too critical of the US government or war itself (though thankfully, it’s nowhere near as jingoistic as it could be). Even on its ‘heavy’ moments, that still applies (even if both Skinny Little Missy and Vegas Bomb end up clunkier and more heavy-footed than particularly powerful). Yes, Chad Kroeger still sings with that voice, but he’s got conviction; there’s enough snarl to play the hard-edged rockstar as there is earnestness to sell his pretensions towards depth and sincerity.Maybe that’s a bad thing—after all, even a bad album can be more fun to rip apart than a boring one—but at this stage, what’s the point in even singling Nickelback out for that? Totally different again is High Time, a country metal stomp that Cadillac Three would sell a few horses for, while Vegas Bomb is a shuddering metallic creature powered by gutsy twin guitars.

This is Nickelback after all, a band whose deepest foray into real creativity was a collaboration with Flo Rida, and for whom new albums act as tools to shore up a legacy that’s pretty much set in stone at this stage. And then once the riff was down, I think I screamed out this line, 'Can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin? Some could point out High Time as the low point, with its jaunty southern-rock croak that further compounds how lame of a song about weed this is, as well as how infernally pleased with itself it sounds about the exact same thing. The album was released on November 18, 2022, with the lead single, San Quentin was released on September 7, 2022.But it’s weird to say this, but for 25 years it feels like someone’s been standing behind us with a cattle prod and telling us, ‘Hey, the record’s gotta be done at this time. Because, for as much as they’re retaking every step they’ve ever made on this album, they can still be okay at it. In truth, it’s probably the ballads that fare the worst, between nostalgia-pandering to the nth degree on Those Days, and a slushy love song in Does Heaven Even Know You’re Missing?
