Truth and Originality

 

2 Qualities of music I like in music. Nickelback has that. Luckily, they also add another element: Power. Chad Kroeger (Lead Singer) puts so much feel, so much POWER into singing the songs. He had alot of power in their last album (Silver Side Up), but they take that power into this album, and then put in more. Ok, that's enough about power, I'm on to talk about different things.

 

The album starts off with a bang with "Flat on the Floor", then gets a little bit more mellow but still holds the bang with "Do This Anymore". Then, the album gets slow with "Someday". It's a really mellow song about a relationship. (Or so I believe?) Ok, lets skip ahead a couple songs and talk about "Figured You Out". This is the song that made me want to buy this album. I was riding in the car with my dad, we were heading up to Best Buy, and this song came on the radio. I listened to it, and instantly fell in love with it. This is by far my FAVORITE song on the album. Infact, its now my favorite song that I've heard so far in the past 2 years or so. Ok, the next song is "Should've Listened". It's mellow and has an...interesting message. "Throw Yourself Away" is a great song. You know, how about I quit saying about how good the songs are, mainly because ALL of the songs on the album are good.

 

The album includes 3 bonus tracks: "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" "Yanking Out My..." and "Learn the Hard Way". "Saturday Night" in my opinion is the second best song on the album. It's one song that if you were gonna hop into the truck with your buds, you'd turn it up. It just gets you really pumped!

 

So, that's my view on the album. Its a great album, the best album I've bought the whole year, and they're the best songs I've heard the whole year. So, in conclusion, all I have to say is pick this album up. If you like rock, and you likes their last album (Silver Side Up) you WILL NOT be disappointed.

 

Score: 9.5 / 10

Damn you Acyrlic! I just got this cd and popped it in and listened to the WHOLE CD, and was like, SWEET! I MUST POST A REVIEW! And low and behold, here this is. But I think you gave it a better review then I could have, and Saturday Nights Alright is DEFINATLY a song that makes you want to get up and start doing something! It definatly gets you pumped. The first song IMO is the best one though. And the 2nd. And the third. And all of them. I can'tpick an absolute fav:D

Can't tell my mom I got it though, cause then she'll want to listin to it, and it says the f word in it(she'll freak)

PS:I got it today and have listened to it nonstop. I'm on Another Hole In My Head(I think that's what it's called:confused:

My Review:9.7/10.0 So far two thumbs up!

:thumbsup:

Uhh, listen about halfway through in the second bonus track,"Yankin Out My...", he says,"You **** your freinds for all your needs" I just listened to it. Damn, I wish they had the lyrics for the bonus tracks:mad: It could be something else, but I could swear that's what they said.
