Alright, I've tried. I've tried my damned hardest. It was an honest , thorough, painstaking experiment, but as it turns out, finding any redeeming qualities in Nickelback is utterly impossible and I can't keep up trying. I've had those lyrics ("Kim... kissed... nervous... missed... since then... haven't seen her... God knows when") revolving round and round in my mind for days now and they're so abominably bad I think I'm going to be haunted by them for the rest of my music-listening days. Damn you, Nickelback. You self-righteous slugs of musical mediocrity. I give up.
As an ending note, I think we should all let the boys speak for themselves. The following is a very real quote from Mike Kroeger in response to bloggers who criticized Nickelback for the extreme similarity between two of their hits (advance warning: make sure there is plenty of padding on the floor beneath your chair, as a high risk of falling off it has been identified):

"I think that's remarkable for someone to notice that there is a hit quality. If all hits sound the same, then sorry. When you are a band that has a distinct style such as us or AC/DC, that happens. When you have a distinct style, you run the risk of sounding similar."
