Good as those riff-heavy monsters are (especially opener ‘San Quentin’), it’s in the more Pop-Rock tracks where I feel that this album truly excels and it’s that style and those tracks that I’ll probably come back to more than any others on subsequent post-review listens. Well, we should have been making a record a lot sooner, with all that time off [due to the coronavirus pandemic]. In January 2023, Ross joined Bailey Zimmerman in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina for three sold-out shows.

Nickelback - Get Rollin’ Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius

Nickelback haven't released a studio album in more than five years, but to paraphrase one of their biggest hits, Get Rollin' is how they remind us of what we've been missing. Texas band Snowblind Revival say Nickelback’s 2005 hit Rockstar borrows “a substantial amount of the music” from one of their own songs.

Tidal Wave's summery haze is deliciously strung out, one of those hypnotic songs that gets better with each play, and its dreamlike lilt contrasts with Steel Still Rusts' serious-as-cancer cautionary tale. But – of course, there’s no contradiction here – it’s also loaded with sizzling, fist-pumpingly cathartic songs. Laughs] And yeah, we took our time with it, which was just a wonderful luxury, to be able to sit back and [go], ‘No.

The Georgia native who started as the defiant life-of-the-party can still go ‘til sunrise, but he’s also emerged as something far greater: the leader of a massive tribe of hard-working, fun-loving believers for whom electric guitar-shredding, rapping, and twang can go hand-in-hand-in-hand. Often writing from personal experience, Ross has delivered versatile lyrics throughout his collection of songs. And on a musical level, no curve balls means few chances are taken; perhaps over the course of 10 albums a band who claim to be the eleventh best-selling act of all time might have developed their sound more.
