Here's an odd "Regretting the Past" request: Go through your entire album/CD collection, and pick out the album you personally most regret owning. Then finish the review by wrecking it so you never have to listen to it again.

+firefly4f4 He might have already done that with A Thousand Suns.

[@firefly4f4]

Given he liked a few songs on that one, but the concept and interludes irked him (at least as I saw it), I'm willing to bet that's not his most regretted one. The kind you look at and are like, "WHY DID I BUY THIS?"

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

Ugh... I once lived in a student dorm. On the opposite side of my room, there lived a boy younger than me, who acted like a tough guy. He dressed like "rocker" and was really cocky. One night I was on the computer with my headphones on. Suddenly I was like "What is that music he is playing too loud?". I took my headphones off and heard Nickelback. I almost couldn't hold my laughter.

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

Majority of other students were about 5-6 years younger than me. That student was 17 at the time. Probably living that phase, where you are still searching your identity. I sincerely hope that he doesn't turn into a jackass, who humms "Photograph", while commiting minor crime...

My parents loved this album, it was played fairly constantly in the car whenever we traveled. When I got an iPod for my 10th birthday it meant not having to listen to Nickelback on the way to the beach, for which I am very, very thankful for. Normally I can trust my dad's music taste, not when it comes to Nickelback.

[@thebowiththemost119]

So there still is good radio out there.

[@amanesuou6076]

All The Right Reasons, for all the crazy interpretations the songs have, is kind of a guilty pleasure to me. Sure, while "Follow You Home" and "Next Contestant" are hard to reinterpret, they at least have some decent instrumentation to them. However, I did like songs such as "Savin' Me," "Animals," "Follow You Home," "Side of a Bullet," "Someone That You're With," and "Fight for All The Right Reasons" for their catchy instrumentation. I liked "Far Away" and "If Everyone Cared" despite their cheesy songwriting and overdrawn melodrama. My least favorite songs were "Photograph" and "Rockstar" because of how laughable they're written. I'm not saying that All The Right Reasons is a masterpiece, but I don't think it's absolutely horrible either, like many people may act like is. Like I said before, I like All The Right Reasons as a guilty pleasure. I understand why you don't like it, and I can respect that.

[@joeyg.6138]

Very well said, agreed

[@undergroundkingz7969]

I unironically love Nickelback and I don’t care either. And I love “Photograph” and think it’s pretty nostalgic, especially the chorus. I do hate “Rockstar” but that’s the only Nickelback song I’ve heard that I’m not fond of. “Animals” is definitely a highlight from this album.

[@houston1342]

As I grown to loathe their songs. I still cherish those dumb days when I was young singing Nickleback songs on repeat.

STORY TIME On my way to my job, working at carnival events (I’m only a kid so this isn’t my real future) I got picked up by a coworker I hadn’t met yet early in the morning on for a fireworks show, and we turned on the radio to a rock station, then Photograph came on. We listened for five seconds in complete silence, then the driver turned it off. We both laughed saying we hated Nickelback, than another coworker in the backseat said, and I quote, “Looks like we found something in common, hating Nickelback” so I have to thank Nickelback for sucking so hard that I was able to become good friends with my coworkers :)

My thoughts on the "tri-force of suckage": -Limp Bizkit: I can't stand these guys. I will admit I do have a soft spot for Rollin' because the first time I heard it it was stuck in my head for weeks, but other than that, screw them. -Nickelback: While I can get why people don't like them, I don't get why they get as much hate as they do. I haven't heard every album they've made, I have heard 3 of them; Silver Side Up, All The Right Reasons, and Dark Horse all of which I liked and I can say I have all of them on my MP3 player with no remorse whatsoever. So to recap, I can understand why people don't like them, but not to the extent that they do. I think they're ok though, but not great. -Creed: I freakin' LOVE Creed. Hands down, no questions, one of my favorite bands of all time. I have their full discography on my MP3 player also. Human Clay is one of my top 10 favorite albums I've ever heard in my life. I proclaim my fandom for these guys with pride, and I straight up don't understand why they get shit on so much.

[@TheTocuba]

I'm sorry guys, but Nickelback is one of my favorite bands. I'm not claiming they're one of the greatest musical artists of all time, but I'm not ashamed to love them. I can understand why some people would dislike them, but the amount of hate they get is absolutely ridiculous. I know some people hate Kroeger's voice, but I think that's just a matter of taste. Considering how successful the band is, there is still a huge demographic who loves his singing voice. I mean, I despise Adam Levine's voice, but that's just taste. Why does Nickelback get all this hate? I will admit that their songs do sound similar, but that could describe Maroon 5, Coldplay, Daughtry, Kesha, and any rap artist there is. Why don't they get that hate? And while I don't like Photograph or Rockstar, I honestly don't see what's so terrible about those songs. I don't see anything truly terrible about those songs. Anyway, my favorite songs of theirs include How You Remind Me, Savin Me, Lulluby, Far Away, Burn it to the Ground, and the best one, Someday

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

My opinion on Nickelback: the guys are good musicians but they should be writing better music. I've never really had a problem with this band and I actually like a lot of their old music. That being said, this album is a mixed bag for me and this is where I drew the line.

I'm back. For my impressions on Nickelback. lol, okay I'll stop. I've said my opinion on Silver Side Up, and now, I'm here to talk about All The Right Reasons. So, here are my thoughts:

[@aikoyumi4014]

1: Sounds pretty good, except it's hampered by the creeper lyrics. 2: Again, this sounds like the continuation of the last song. Good instrumentals, but terrible lyrics. 3: This is a really boring song. It's WAY too disjointed and sappy. The lyrics are awful and the instrumentals were yawn-inducing. 4: It's weird. From what I can gather, it's about a group of kids messing around in their dad's car. And that's weird. The instrumentals were okay, though. 5: It sounds pretty good. And that's because it's recycled from their previous work. 6: I get what they were going for, but it's just not good. At all. 7: White Knight Song. That's all what it really is. A Fucking White Knight Song. Seriously, this is just some guy being hostile about other people who even looks at his "girlfriend". 8: It's heavy, but unimpressive. From what I've heard, this was supposed to be a tribute to Dimebag Darrel of Pantera, but it just falls flat in that regard. 9: Way too sappy. 10: Basically a pathetic love song. And I mean _REALLY_ pathetic. 11: Again, much like the last album, it's ironic for a rock band, they sound so "twang-y", which lead the ground work for "bro-country" like Blake Shelton and Florida Georgia Line, which is not a good thing. In Conclusion, All the Right Reasons somehow manages to be worse than Silver Side Up. Also, nice cover of "Photograph", it's pretty hilarious. Better than the actual song itself.

[@kazutokirigaya1095]

Here's my thoughts on All The Right Reasons: 1: Okay, the instrumentals are okay, but the stalker lyrics are _really_ off-putting. 2: Ditto for this track, nice guitar work, but creepy lyrics. 3: An absolute snore. 4: Sounds pretty energetic, but the lyrics are weird and schizophrenic. 5: It's a pretty decent song, but it reminds me _so_ much of their previous work. Wow, no wonder why I never listened to more of their tracks. 6: It has good intentions and I can see why people may like this song. But, I could just find a song like this elsewhere. 7: Wow, _I'm_ not that overly protective towards my girlfriend. Jesus. 8: Pretty heavy stuff, but it's unimpressive and uninteresting. 9: Okay, this is just overly sappy and facepalm-inducing. 10: Pathetic. Just why? 11: And they put this shit in a sofa commercial? Why? Yeah, this song made me cringe. All the Right Reasons has decent instrumentals (well, some of their tracks, anyway), but terrible songwriting and creepy lyrics. It's not even mediocre. It's below average, bordering on "bad" But, I guess there will always be worse.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

Hey what about The Long Road?

[@aikoyumi32]

+Demon Rantz I liked The Long Road, it has plenty of decent tracks; "Flat on the Floor", "Feelin' Too Damn Good", "Someday", and "Because of You" being some of my favorites.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

Yeah that album has solid tracks. I guess that's why he didn't bother reviewing it.

[@Karnork]

What i hate most about Photograph is how easily it get's stuck in my head

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

Love the cameos and as usual, rad review. So glad we were able to eventually recover from this "album."

[@SAI-st4uu]

It's awesome that you brought in Nostalgia Critic. Your videos are awesome

[@lizardjesus]

When this video came out, All The Right Reasons sold 8 Million in the US. Now its 10 Million. That's right, Nickle back have a Diamond certified album in the US. Let that sink in for a minute. While it didn't sell more, this album shares the same certification as Hybrid Theory, Led Zeppelin 1, Ten, Tragic Kingdom, Van Halen 1, House of The Holy, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Never Mind and so many other albums successful and shitty that naming the rest would be way too painful. Let this be a lesson that success doesn't equal quality.

[@JV-nm1fy]

Nickelback*

[@erikdaniels0n]

Hearing Photograph in the context of the actual album it’s from is fucking JARRING. Like the album goes from “I got caught up in favorable slavery” to “Look at this photograph. Every time I do, it makes me laugh”

[@Edgelordess]

Nickleback is a guilty pleasure of mine. I wouldn't consider them the best group in exisistance, but I have a speacil place in my heart for this album, as it was the first Nickelback album I ever bought.

[@AshenOne_CR]

How you remind me is actually solid

[@JV-nm1fy]

Same!

[@SageVallant]

There was about one song on this album I could stand to listen to.

[@JennaLeigh]

15:21 😂😂😂😂 Former stripper here..... Nickelback gets LOTS of airplay in clubs. There is a certain group of dancers who LOVE dancing to "The Next Contestant", "Animals", etc.... and the "Rock Star" song was absolutely massive. So many girls loved dancing to it. *shudder*

[@jedidarrick]

I wish that we had an album of Some Jerk with a Camera singing Nickleback.

[@lewisgrant7622]

This was their first and only album to not only go platinum but also go diamond. I love this album Side of a bullet Animals Next contestant Someone that you’re with Follow you home

[@dougwalker5807]

Since you got Doug Walker in this, can you do a review of his album?

[@devoncook553]

ok.. i admit i like nickelback. but i have to say this was pretty funny. i like only a select few songs from this album XD plus the ending killed me. thats great!

[@jayboulangr4569]

I do like Nickelback, but even I will admit some of their songs can sound a bit creepy and perverted. Not to say that I'm no longer a fan, but sometimes, you gotta pay attention to the lyrics. (Especially on an album like this)

[@RabblesTheBinx]

​@@nitromagilou597 That's... not what Mockingbird is about...

[@abedekok322]

Nickelback is the official band of dead beat dads. I was a fan of them when I was younger but God after looking into the composition of the music I wish I hadn't. It's mostly due to the formulaic sound that attracted my young mind and many others at the time. Strange Times they were.

[@palaguin]

For those who want to see Nash's cameo, it is at 19:33

[@cutiepuppy4427]

Thanks. I think I have an idea for a RDA request

[@happyears21694]

For those who want to see Some Jerk with a Camera's cameo, it's at 20:30

[@cubedmelons876]

This album was EVERYWHERE. I was surprised it didn't go diamond considering it had, like, 7 singles that kept being shoved down our throats for about 4 years straight. Hell, I still kept hearing Rockstar on the radio up until 2010 or so.

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Unfortunately, almost as a rule, the more mediocre and non-innovative the music, the more mainstream and more money-making the music is and the real artists making the real stuff gets buried under this formulaic, constructed crap. . :( Thank the universe for the Internet now!

[@rocknrallsoul94rockero4]

Nickelback still holds a dear place in my heart why cause I grew up on them and I would still buy some of their vinyl c'mon it's nostalgic

[@houston1342]

Yes

[@jesurenbnb]

Really?

[@Kevinelevin92]

I had no idea you would return to the Suckage Squad, but this was a fantastic review. I actually lost a bet with a friend, and I had to listen to this album for a day. All The Right Reasons is a big bone to pick if any. I can understand the stalkish theme throughout the album. It goes from following someone wherever they go, to getting dirty (Animals), to flat out “Ima murder your ass if you even dare to catch a glimpse at my girl!” mode (Next Contestant). What REALLY grinds my gears is not the album as a whole marketing-standpoint (even though it outdid itself after Silver Side Up). It has to do with, in my opinion, the album’s biggest flaw: “If Everyone Cared”. I know what you’re thinking, we got happy, lovey songs like “Photograph” and “Far Away”, and even a song about fighting suicide (Saving Me), which I’m all for if it wasn’t ”Someday Part 2”. But think of all the stalker/serial killer narration displayed throughout the album. What is missing? A song about caring! I’m sure the “next contestant” you just socked is totally cool and forgiving! And the girl next door that you're asking out in "Someone You're With", just tell her your observations were valid because you cared. That will start a first date! I was pissed! I’ve heard this on the radio many times before, but it wasn’t until heard the entire album that “If Everyone Cared” is a giant walking contraction. Not only does it fail in conveying a peaceful message with the lack of lyric material, it's not enough to make up for 60% of the album spent on stalking, jealousy, threatening, and narcissism. Now that I’ve listened to the whole shitstorm against my will, I’m man enough to make the judgment call that “If Everyone Cared” is unforgivable. Listening to songs with risque and concerning lyrics only to have the ultimate payoff be a PSA from the CareBear Society?!? That’s just one of the many reoccurring themes you’re sure to hear over and over again on future albums. Just be prepared to glance at it for a few seconds. It just sucks! Wow, that's a lot. My bad.

[@KingCheshireZorua]

Kevin O'Brien "I actually lost a bet with a friend, and I had to listen to this album for a day." You need new friends. A real friend wouldn't make a friend listen to Nickelback, not even if they lost a bet.

[@Kevinelevin92]

***** Yeah, you got a point. Turns out he was a scumbag in the end, but I'm over it. And I know who my real friends are.

[@Kevinelevin92]

It's been 8 months and I feel I stick by what I said. Luke said it best: "All The Right Reasons: Was that what they were saying when they were writing this garbage? That it was 'all right' to them and this is what they wanted to stand behind?" When half of your album is part perverted, part "angsty", part hostile, and the other half is sugarcoated with mellow rock ballads to market the album with, then it's damaging to the album's flow, and is the only reason the mainstream crowd will buy the individual tracks on iTunes...or buy the album and skip the Denny Stalker tracks pretending like they weren't there.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

+KingCheshireZorua I listen to them loads actually but yeah I don't like the stalkerish songs

[@851852093114208513]

19:43 - Hey now, you know full well the cool song to listen to in junior high because it was full of inuendo was Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo by the Bloodhound Gang

[@a-dashof-pepper4710]

I'd still rather listen to Nickelback than 5 Finger Donkey Punch.

[@HailSatanLLC]

I cant look at a framed picture without thinking, "Look cat dis photagraph!"

[@Kevinelevin92]

But on a lighter note. Are there any Weezer albums worth regretting?

[@XXPedia]

Ratitude?

[@oxymoronic-ephiphanies]

A lot

[@Delaecress]

Yea they had a couple of lows.

[@shaggymatt92jacobs70]

*cough...make believe....cough*

[@maxd1541]

Make Believe, Ratitude and Pacific Daydream

[@mrseal662]

yes! nostalgia critic and rocked united together!!!!!

[@beezysbeatz4924]

One Nickelback album outselling Alice in Chains' entire discography should tell you all you need to know abt global tastes in music.

[@GrimmFLawless]

Kid Rock singing a Nickelback song isn’t surprising. They’re similar in material plus together do a cover of Saturday Night’s Alright

[@CometMasonTrucker]

Also, savin me is another template for If Today Was Your Last Day

[@RezDragon]

I haven't seen anyone in the comments mention this, so here's a fun (or sad) fact for you. Nickelback held the record for the longest radio airplay of any rock band, and it took until 2012 for another band to break it. That band was fun. with their song We Are Young (they either broke or matched it, I can't remember)
