Nickelback songs are fine, but that’s the thing, they’re all pretty much the same level of “fine”. They have some good lyrics sometimes, but nothing groundbreaking or more deep than “life is short, enjoy the moment” or “I miss being young”. The tunes are fine, but if you start listening to a Nickelback playlist they’re very samey so everything melts together and sounds like one single large song.
Nickelback are a great band that played top 40 acceptable rock by choice. They CAN thrash, they choose not to, and they are fucking loaded as a consequence.
Ive sat in dive bars and talked to a great many musicians about their artistic integrity. Ive never met anyone with real talent who had a tale of woe about selling out, probably because they dont drink in dive bars anymore.

They’re “fine”, like a McDonald’s hamburguer.
