Everything Under The Sun finds Nickelback refusing to tread water
Nickelback’s eleventh album responds to the weaker chart performance of 2022’s *Get Rollin’*, while showing that the band are still willing to stretch beyond their familiar sound. The review finds the record combines recognisable hard-rock hooks with successful experiments, suggesting Nickelback can look back at their established style while moving forward.
The album has 12 tracks, all under five minutes. Chad Kroeger-written standout “Bones For The Crows” is praised for its thunderous chorus, while “Technicolor Steamboat” surprises with acoustic guitar, vocal harmonies and a sitar-like sound. “Rattle The Cage” is more typical Nickelback, and the country co-written “Make Me Love You” turns out to be half-speed Nickelback rather than a major stylistic change.
In short
- Nickelback answer a chart setback with a varied eleventh album.
- “Bones For The Crows” is the review’s standout.
- “Technicolor Steamboat” shows the band exploring new sounds.
Explained simply
Nickelback are a Canadian rock band led by singer and guitarist Chad Kroeger. They became known for hard-rock songs built around big choruses and have released eleven studio albums.
Their 2022 album, Get Rollin’, performed less strongly in the charts than the band’s earlier releases. Their new record keeps the familiar guitar-driven sound while also trying different touches, including acoustic instruments and unusual textures. That mix matters to listeners weighing how established bands can draw on their past while continuing to change.
