Negative Positive
Title: Finally...
Review: FM radio introduced me to Nickelback, thus my reluctance to purchase any of their discs. After their 3rd or so hit, I succumbed and bought Curb and The Long Road. I was still unimpressed. It seems like Chad Kroeger has stumbled onto a "formula" for hook-ey three and a half minute songs that will be hits.But this album changed my mind. Yeah, I know-the "hooks" are still there, but so is the musicality. This is probably their heaviest album, and that's why I'm enjoying it.Vinnie donating a Dimebag solo didn't hurt either (Side of a Bullet had me googling and discovering Pantera and Nickelback were solid friends).So....If you're the 2 star reviewers complaining about redundant formulaic rock...yeah-it's still there BUT it's a bit heavier and more musical.I gave it 5 stars because I can't get 3 of the songs out of my head. That's an achievement in itself with my listening habits.
Is the review positive or negative?
