Latest Rights, The - Strugglers

Advantages: Rocking / original / classy
Disadvantages: none

...Nicklbacks album 'all the right reasons' in my opinion is criminally underrated. Silver Side up got so much press attention because granted it was there first main album, but this one deserves the same if not more respect. It is I believe a powerful album, every song is beautiful and rocking, which is very hard to do. 'Follow you home' is the first track on the album, which is quite admittedly heavy, but Chad's voice is matured and grouchier than ever and you can really hear this in the opening number. The drumming is superb throughout the album and the musician ship from the guitarists and Chad himself is second to none. 'Fight for all the wrong reasons' is a wicked song also, with the title carrying extra significance, with the world in which we live. 'Photograph' is the track arguably which most people buy the album... Read review

...I am a huge Nickelback fan and I love their latest album All the Right Reasons. It is fantastic! Nickelback spent seven months writing, perfecting, rehearsing and finally recording 11 tracks that make up this album. They spent ages on it to get it exactly right. The first single they release was 'Photograph' which is a song that reflects back on Chad Kroegers teenage life, about his first kiss, where he used to live and about the times he broke into his school. It is a song that many people can relate to. Also on this album is the hard rocking beats of 'Animals' which is about a couple getting down and dirty. Not only do they have hard rocking songs, but they also have sentimental songs like 'Far Away' and 'If Everyone Cared' Overall this is a fantastic album which really shows Nickelbacks range of talents and even if you...

Advantages: At least they're trying to do something a bit different for a change
Disadvantages: it doesn't work. Dull and overrated.

...A Bad Name" and "It's My Life" are more listenable, but Jon's voice is incredibly nasal on "Lay Your Hands On Me" - even more irritating after reading Richie Sambora's comment that his voice sounds amazing on this record! The next few tracks ("Bed of Roses", "I'll Be There For You", "Always", "Everyday", "Born To Be My Baby" and "Keep The Faith") are listenable enough but not really enjoyable and don't seem to add anything to the songs. Live bonus tracks "Joey" and "The Distance" redeem the album a little and provide a decent finish to it, and are 2 of the best tracks on it. A live album (instead of an acoustic album) may have been a better idea. This Left Feels Right could spoilt the legacy of a once-great band: it pretty much killed off my waning interest for them, yet just a couple of years before this I was a huge fan. I would...
