All The Right Reasons
by Nickelback

Poor Nickelback. They don't deserve the most hated band tag. The commercial radio fodder does not give them justice. There's some decent rock tracks with a bit of oomph on this. However, it's easy to have divided thoughts due it also having a fair amount of saccharine fluff.

This album was my childhood and it’s definitely the best Nickelback album with several of their best hits and songs like Photograph, Rockstar, Far Away, If Everyone Cared and Savin’ Me.

Ok - quite extraordinary the responses. This is a pretty good album and anyone marking it down must be doing it for other reasons than the music! Not one of my favourite albums, but I have a whole load that I assess as less.

I just realized this band is from Canada......im so sorry plz forgive me. Im gonna make a new account now.

The saving grace of this album is Nickleback's ability to craft a great hook; like it or not, most of these are pop songs (with a post-grunge sheen) that stay firmly in your head. The tracks range from awful (the perverse opening track) to decent ("Savin Me" and "Side of a Bullet" aren't that bad) and overall it just about escapes the level of sheer trash to become a mediocre pop album.

Nickelback get a lot of flak. They get scapegoated as the face of radio single soul-less rock which isn't fair. They aren't awful and whatever mish-mash this band puts together is popular for a reason, so they get some points just for that.

Kroeger has a unique vocal delivery and sex witty-ness with the balls to say stuff that men do think and won't admit.

Photograph is one of the best Nickelback songs. Title track has a decent riff during the bridge. Ballads Far Away and Savin Me are stand balladry fare but done well.

I think Animals verses are pretty clever even if they are trashy. It's fun and has more sexual banter than most lyrics that are offered by modern hit makers. The chorus is a bit bland.

Rockstar is pretty stupid and I can't believe it was a popular single.

Next Contestant and Side of a Bullet sounds like by the numbers Nickelback.

The highlights here are good and that makes this Nicelback's best. But it still has 4 or crap songs like any other Nickelback album.

And most people thing their schtick is crap anyway so my ranking is higher than the average I'm sure
