They're after my time, and as far as I know I've only ever heard one of their songs. Which is frankly kind of catchy.
But comparing any disliked band to Nickelback seems to be the ultimate musical insult, and any time they are mentioned people seem to pile on like the crowd that wanted to burn the witch in Holy Grail.
What did they do? Does everybody hate their music that much? Are they dicks to their fans?
I need somebody not musically stuck in the decade between '75 and '85 to enlighten me. [Reply]
Nickleback is not good. Over-commercialized, hyper-produced pop rock; however, they did put out a decent album called The State, which has a few tracks that are simple and catchy. I submit:

I'm baffled by this take.
No dude, you are wrong, and if you don't know it, you are even wronger.
Can't even tell the difference in Tool tunes in the later albums. Rehashed junk. [Reply]

The differences between Lateralus and 10,000 Days are great in number. Rhythm, arrangement, dissonance, dynamics, time signature. Lateralus, by most accounts, is one of the most celebrated hard rock albums of all time.

Ehhh, it's hard to compare the two. The only link is Maynard, otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges. I love APC though. Billy Howerdel is a master at his craft. [Reply]

You don't know what you don't know, sir.
You are obviously in their thrall and wouldn't know good music if it was blasted in your face. [Reply]
