Nickelback polarize the masses. Some they like others can not do anything with them. But the fact is that Canadians firing a hot board after another, and I think now 45 million units sold speaks for itself. The band has this time more than left three years and now supplies with "Here and now" a hammer of album from. Of course, also stayed here all the same, radio-friendly songs branded "We stand together" (as a single advance already known) or "Trying Not To Love You" are typical Nickelback songs. But when they are rocking, then it rattles neatly in a box. "This Means War", the opening track sets really fat los followed by pounding "Bottoms up". "Midnight Queen", "Gotta get me some" and "Kiss it goodbye" hew to the same notch. Yet if there is such a thing as a massive hit on this CD, that's quite clear, "Lullaby" for me. Here Nickelback show their whole sense of super catchy earwigs. Production is usual punchy and clear and offers the best entertainment. After about 40 minutes, although is already closing, but have it in them. Nickelback deliver with "Here and now" a knotless disc from that for me next to "The Long Road" and "All the Right Reasons" may well exist. Abnützungserscheinung seems to be an alien concept and Canadians can get rid of a whole bag full of hits on humanity. Madness!
