Get Rollin' (Deluxe)

Product Information

Amongst all these accolades, they’ve also been named Billboard’s “Top Rock Group of the Decade”, and they have received a staggering nine Grammy Award nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, twelve JUNO Awards, seven MuchMusic Video Awards, and have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame (2007). But it almost feels compulsory to start off any long-form discussion of Nickelback with a statement like that, as it has done for years. The branding they’ve picked up has made it an unavoidable thorn to be pulled at, though somewhat futilely given that any critical reevaluation of Nickelback is effectively pointless. Weekly Digital Album Ranking dated November 28, 2022 (November 14, 2022 – November 20, 2022)] (in Japanese). On August 14, 2020, the band released a cover of the Charlie Daniels Band song " The Devil Went Down to Georgia", featuring Dave Martone.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The Canadian megastars don't merely get away with it – the song's an energised strutter with cool hooks, licks that Lenny Kravitz would nod to, and a flyaway guitar solo that's as good as anything they've done. We don’t have one record that really sort of sounds the same in terms of songwriting from top to bottom. In truth, it’s probably the ballads that fare the worst, between nostalgia-pandering to the nth degree on Those Days, and a slushy love song in Does Heaven Even Know You’re Missing?The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

I’m gonna play this guitar solo 40 more times for another three days and make sure it’s just exactly how we want it as opposed to deadline, deadline, deadline.

To project further, it’s not an audience that demands to be challenged (they’ve stuck around this long after all), and probably holds more—for lack of a better term—traditional values that music like this can appeal to. And after all, the album still averages out in usual Nickelback fashion, in which there’s no edge or transgression, or ambition outside of the broadest plays for the down-the-middle rock crowd. And to a degree, you can kind of let them off the hook for it, seeing as vast experimentation has never been in their nature. This is Nickelback’s tenth album, and it couldn’t be clearer how much they’re resting on their laurels; hell, even they themselves probably wouldn’t deny it at this point. If anything, it’s a similar end to where a lot of country music was in the 2010s, slightly in execution but mostly in ethos.This version of Get Rollin’ is an 8-panel digipak CD with foil stamping on the front cover that features four bonus acoustic versions of songs on the album. I don’t know how we sort of did that and how we got the acceptance from our fans to be able to do that, but we’re very lucky because we don’t have to record the same kind of music thinking to ourselves, ‘Well, the fans are expecting this, so we’ve just gotta give 'em a whole album of that.

The spirit of rock commercialism courses through Get Rollin’, not only as Nickelback’s greatest sin but their most stable crutch. When the subject of a release date came up, Mike said “it’ll be done when it’s done”, explaining that he and band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making “a shitty record”. Laughs] And yeah, we took our time with it, which was just a wonderful luxury, to be able to sit back and [go], ‘No. And then once the riff was down, I think I screamed out this line, 'Can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin? They’re not the best either—not by a long shot—but they’ve clearly got some talent and know what they’re doing when it comes to the music they’re making.This doesn’t beat the last album which was amazing but there are so many catchy songs on this album it still makes it addictive to listen to .
