It is one of the great mysteries of life how Nickelback have managed to sell 21 million albums in their career. They have made some pretty catchy (if samey) tunes but surely the recycled riffs and cringe-worthy lyrics about partying, beer and girls should have got boring by now? Evidently not. Not surprisingly, Here and Now doesn't deviate from their established template: radio-friendly rock with some mushy ballads thrown in. The band's sound hasn't changed a bit over the years, so if you liked previous Nickelback albums I would guess you'll like this one and buy it, and millions of people will probably agree with you and do the same. A bit of advice - save your money and listen to the last one again. Or the one previous to that, makes no difference.
