Yup. Set your Spotify on "private session", turn off your last.fm scrobbling, sit down and listen to some Nickelback, and then bitch to your friends about how terrible it was having to sit through an entire Nickelback album. It's partly Trollheart's fault...

...and partly my fault. Because I declare that this week, in addition to next week, is Continued Nickelback Week, in which you have to listen to Nickelback's Dark Horse album! That is, if you haven't already heard Silver Side Up...



Of course, I'll have to listen to it, too. You know, because you have to take one for the team, and not be a hypocrite and all that... it's totally not because Nickelback is a badly concealed guilty pleasure of mine. Oh, well...

Artist: Nickelback
Album: Dark Horse
Year: 2008
Genre: Hard rock/teen pop in disguise



I laughed upon listening to the opening track, “Something in Your Mouth”: sexual lyrics + attempted inoffensiveness = hilarious. Here's an excerpt from the lyrics:

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth


The album consists of two types of songs: up-tempo but boring hard rock tunes complete with lazy lyrics, and “ballads” sounding like covers of “California King Bed” sung by a person who used to be a heroin addict back in the early '90s (also with lazy lyrics). I'm sure that Nickelback has inspired some of the songs in Disney Channel TV movies and/or the Jonas Brothers (for once, I agree with Nickelback_rules).

1/5
