2022 release. Get Rollin’ is the 10th studio album by iconic rock band Nickelback and their first in five years. Nickelback is the 11th best selling musical act of all time with over 50,000,000 units sold and the 2nd best selling “foreign” group in the U.S. of the 2000s, behind only The Beatles. 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).For some reason, Nickleback is one of those bands that everyone loves to take the mick out of. And they’re not the only ones: Winger can also be added to this list (Metallica swiftly ruined Winger’s career by throwing darts at a poster of the frontman in one of their music videos), as can many others who seem forever doomed to be the ‘uncool band’. Basically, if you like them, you’re a dweeb. This is painfully unjustified, however, especially if we consider how many dweebs per square metre would be required for Nickleback to have shifted the 50 million albums they’ve sold on the American continent alone. Get Rollin’ only goes to show that this band is no joke. The opening tracks San Quentin and Skinny Little Missy will get every hard rock lover tapping their feet. Sure, the band has found a recipe that works for them, and they’re not afraid to indulge themselves in a simple bluette that’ll make the girls swoon. However, when the quartet wants to bring out the big guns, there’s nothing funny about it (‘Vegas Bomb’). Even ‘Tidal Wave’, a mid-tempo track, is a pleasure to listen to. Sure, there might be few gimmicks on this album, but people have undoubtedly consumed blander music (remember the MTV years?). Not everything on Get Rollin’ is a masterpiece, but the highlights are good enough not to warrant insulting this radio-friendly band that never takes its audience for fools (have a listen to ‘Horizon’, it’s clearly intended to be a hit, though it never sounds like a desperate attempt). A huge American rock sound (that sometimes tends towards hard rock) with choruses that make you want to yell at the top of your lungs whilst driving a convertible Mustang down Route 66? I’ll take it. You can’t spend your whole life listening to nothing but Chelsea Wolfe: there’s a time for everything. For those moments when you don’t have a care in the world and just want to whistle a catchy tune, Nickleback is there. – Charlélie Arnaud
