Favorite of the week. 30 years of career, endless hits on the radio, millions of albums sold… and yet Nickelback remains one of the most mocked groups in rock history
This is the eternal irony that surrounds the Canadian quartet. But with Everything Under The Sun, the group sets the record straight. The most unconditional will even say that they have always been so with them. Led by the energetic “Rattle The Cage” (with the brilliant John 5 as guest), mid-tempo “Leave Me Behind” and the ballad “Make Me Love You”this new album sweeps away all the know-how (and they know how to do it!!!) of the Chad Kroeger band. Because this record simply reminds us of what detractors pretend to forget: the group has an unstoppable sense of chorus, production designed for stadiums and rock songwriting of formidable effectiveness. After all, it’s all a question of taste. Good or bad. In the meantime, favorite of the week. 4 stars as a result… And boom!
