Description of The Long Road:
It's never easy following up a multi-platinum success, but Canada's Nickelback's latest seem sure to match the sales of the many-million-selling Silver Side Up. The formula remains pretty much the same--nothing fancy, just radio-friendly grunge that lends an appropriately dramatic backing to the powerful and increasingly confident voice of Chad Kroeger. Aside from the fast and punchy opener "Flat on the Floor," the tough, staccato "Because of You," and the Oasis-like "Figured You Out," the band deal exclusively in soft-rock anthems (soft, that is, by 2003’s pulverizing standards). The only real change here lies is in Kroeger's lyrical concerns. Where 2000's The State found him suffering the frustrations of small-town life, now he's tortured by a heavy touring schedule that promotes destructive drug abuse and strains relationships to breaking point. That said, you can't help feeling the ruthlessly analytical Kroeger would turn a visit to the supermarket into a riot of hatred and self-recrimination. For fans of Silver Side Up, Nickelback have delivered the goods once more. --Dominic Wills
The Long Road Reviews:
Music! 
2009-09-05 - I have enjoyed all the music I have heard by this group. It is never disappointing and this CD was no different. I can honestly say that all the songs on here are good and I enjoy listening to this whole CD, from beginning to end.
Worst Nickelback Album. 
2009-07-20 - I was pretty excited to get this after having "Silver Side Up". I was very disappointed. If it hadn't been for "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good" and "Figured You Out", I would have given this one star. Thankfully, with their last two albums "All The Right Reasons" and "Dark Horse" they returned to "Silver Side Up" form.
And on the 7th day, Chad Kroeger created The Long Road.
2009-04-26 - This is perhaps the greatest album of all time, with the gods of music smiling down and accepting Chad into their group. All the songs are raw, radio friendly, and diverse, and Someday is an underplayed, underrated masterpiece of all. Even though it is hard to say which Nickelback album is the best, as all of them are classics.
And for those who hate this all-American band, I must ask you, if Nickelback suck so much, how come they get so much radio play? Only the good songs get on the radio. So you can take your indie crap and stick it where the sun don't shine. Because everything is better with Nickelback, even crappy anime, as seen here: http://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=_E3nbtIFnhY
Replace the (dot) with a . and prepare to be blown away.
Overall, you must get this epic masterpiece.
Generic radio trash. 
2009-04-04 - Nickelback is a cancerous tumor in today's music industry, simple as that. I don't know how they did it, but pretty much every new song you hear on the radio is this dude rock band. God knows what will happen if I hear "Someday" or anything with Chad's annoying vocals again. Please don't support these guys any further by buying this.
