is nickelback really pop tho cause they sound like a washed up hard rock band to me. or is that what qualifies as pop rock these days

pop takes on many a genre it just has to be catchy and simple

that sounds right. on a similar note, the new daughtry album is streaming!!11!

Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound Off

No one cares about Daughtry

I really don't think this release should be as low as it is, the band is fairly poor but I feel like the album is average at best and worst, It's silly the hatred they get especially on a best of album.

"pop takes on many a genre it just has to be catchy and simple"

Agreed. Go back to 89 and have a bunch of guys that look like NKOTB release 'Nuthin but a good time'. Suddenly it's not a rock song, but more pop drivel.

Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Theory of a Deadman - all go home now please

Don't forget Hinder, Creed, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamen, Saliva, Non Point, 10 Years, Smile Empty Soul......

[insert obligatory blank CD joke here] [53257]

10 Years has got some good shit. They are def better than the other bands listed.

Album Rating: 3.0

If I was a few years yonger I might of rated this 1.0 like the rest. But tbh nickelback jokes got old very quickly and it's not interesting anymore.

Daughtry is so much fucking worse than this band.

Hangin out! This afternoon!

"pop takes on many a genre it just has to be catchy and simple"

Yeah, fuck The Beatles, Stones and Nirvana, agreed.

When these bands all hit, Nickleback, Creed, etc, I was heavily into euro death and power metal. This stuff was my anethema. If you look at it like hair metal it's not bad, take a relatively decent hook lyric and throw some power chords behind it (except the hair metal bands wrote better songs...). But this should be categorized as the pop music it is, this is not rock or metal at all. And for pop music, anything from Nickelback rates a 2 at tops.

Seriously, when I first heard nickeback I was heavily into mainstream rock,nu metal and metalcore, even at those times I found this band as a boring piece of crap, when I was into melodeath and power metal this band was a big satan like 50 cent and jessie j.

Don't forget Hinder, Creed, Three Days Grace,
Breaking Benjamen, Saliva, Non Point, 10
Years, Smile Empty Soul.


10 years has some good stuff to listen, and i believe everyone jammed breaking benjamin at some point in their ife.

Fuck yeah Dear Agony and Phobia were my shit in 8th grade.

"1.1 average rating. Are Nickelback seriously this bad, or is everyone just ganging up to make this the lowest rated album in Sputnik's database?"

there once was an album with a 0.9 average rating

the memories

This is one 2013 release I will not even bother with.
