  4. Nickelback: *Get Rollin' (Deluxe)*

    11/26/2025

    Nickelback: *Get Rollin' (Deluxe)*

    Returned with an amazing album after a 5-year hiatus. They even got a van to match the album cover and took it on tour with them in North America. It was Chad’s idea to get a van that matches the album cover. The songs were written during the COVID-19 Pandemic and after it—the first album in years to not feature a dark cover.

    Nickelback: *Feed The Machine*

    The album came a couple of years later, after Chad Kroeger’s surgery. It’s their heaviest album to date. Songs were written for this album while Chad was recovering and after his recovery. Some people believe that there is a song on this album that’s written for Chad’s ex-wife, Avril Lavigne.  Music Videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKgfcd6lqp4 (Feed the Machine) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFzTdmZywK8 (Song on Fire) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ9FciUx6gs (The Betrayal (Act III))

    Nickelback: *No Fixed Address*

    They recorded the album around the world, as hinted by the album title and cover. The band experimented with new ideas throughout the whole album. There’s rock, funk, pop, Latin-tinged funkathon, and a little bit of country. Has the best motivational song on this album.  Sources: soundcloud.com/toddcastpodcast/nickelback-singer-chad-kroeger-the-full-convo (TODDCast Podcast Interview) Music Videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYnuSsM7tRw (Edge of a Revolution) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoBldRsvciM (She Keeps Me Up) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD8nrL8ttNI (Get Em’ Up) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmdzbVVin0s (Satellite)

  8. Nickelback: *Dark Horse*

    10/16/2025

    Nickelback: *Dark Horse*

    Robert “Mutt” Lange produced this album. They have a more distinct signature sound in both their heavy and melodic songs. Even has that country pop feel to a couple of the songs. The album has a dark theme, which is reflected in its title. It covers adult themes, drug abuse, sexual innuendos, hope, and loss.  Music Videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxgeSv88c2w (Burn It To The Ground) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtxpcQaSR0k (Gotta Be Somebody) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RtTFP2TNcM (I’d Come For You) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2kM0TsubU (Never Gonna Be Alone) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvxVNGdwVwk (If Today Was Your Last Day) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbP1K-bQB6g (This Afternoon)
