Of course, a few mass-compatible songs are, as with every release since "All the Right Reasons", again available, but I felt this as strongly reduced and the good old rock is a total return in the foreground.
These songs, however, are necessary in order to boost sales, it was not "When we stand together" in vain a hymn-like song like elected as the first publication.
It is considered to provide each fan satisfied "type".
But as already mentioned, I believe that the rock back in the foreground, is through songs like "This Means War", "Bottoms Up", "Midnight Queen", "Gotta Get Me Some" and "kiss it goodbye" half album marked by ingenious Guitar / Voice Parts. That remind me of the albums' Silver Side Up "and" The Long Road ".
The mass-compatible songs are very manageable held: "When We Stand Together", "Trying not to love you" and "Do not ever let it end".
"Everything I Wanna Do" is very difficult to categorize, in principle, it sounds rather soft, but towards the end it is very rocky, among other things, by a longer instrumental phase.
In "Holding on to Heaven" I had the very first inspiration that Chad there a little his experience working with Timberland has incorporated ("tomorrow in a bottle") and so this song also affects me.
A special position and extra listing I want give the song "Lullaby":
What an awesome song ....
Already the intro I got goose bumps immediately, something like me has not yet happened at a Nickelback song.
As Chad began singing one has withdrawn the instrumental accompaniment aware his voice shines.
I can hardly find words to describe this song, it's definitely my favorite and has "If Today Was your last day" now displaced in my personal ranking of 1st place.
Every person who is not absolutely jaded will perceive any emotion or a feeling in this song. This song earned on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10 being the best is) a 50, you can not quantify the value.
I'm really not easy to touch when I hear songs without visual support, but "Lullaby" has managed this.
This song alone deserves the 5 star rating.
Conclusion: Really all the songs have their charm, the rock predominates for me. No song falls out completely, I would skip any song.
I speak from a strong buy recommendation.
And hope that the time until the next album will be shorter, Nickelback again developing in the desired direction. (And they are always solid and selbige albums produce)
