Though this isn’t an easy listen, Body Void’s newest journey into the abyss yields a shrieking, industrial mutation of doom-metal that couldn’t fit into the blackness around them more perfectly. They aren’t a band with the sort of catalogue that welcomes it; instead, they’ve made lowest-common-denominator rock music forever, with occasionally the mildest change-up that’s never affected the payoff even slightly. Totally different again is High Time, a country metal stomp that Cadillac Three would sell a few horses for, while Vegas Bomb is a shuddering metallic creature powered by gutsy twin guitars. And when they’re still painting with the same brush strokes as wide as the Atlantic, with minimal variety after all these years, you start to wonder what Get Rollin’ really adds to any greater conversation. Nickelback are unquestionably a singles band, meaning that when an album like Get Rollin’ comes out and places their stark, omnipresent limitations under a more scrutinising light, the established hits can wind up feeling like the exception to the rule.

This is Nickelback after all, a band whose deepest foray into real creativity was a collaboration with Flo Rida, and for whom new albums act as tools to shore up a legacy that’s pretty much set in stone at this stage. In truth, it’s probably the ballads that fare the worst, between nostalgia-pandering to the nth degree on Those Days, and a slushy love song in Does Heaven Even Know You’re Missing? Well, we should have been making a record a lot sooner, with all that time off [due to the coronavirus pandemic]. This version of Get Rollin’ is an 8-panel digipak CD with foil stamping on the front cover that features four bonus acoustic versions of songs on the album. As anticlimactic as that may seem, it’s the truth; Nickelback are too uniformly competent to outright hate, and them boiling down their entire musical existence to a science is clearly still working as far as easy, accessible, unchallenging rock goes.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

When the subject of a release date came up, Mike said “it’ll be done when it’s done”, explaining that he and band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making “a shitty record”. Even on its ‘heavy’ moments, that still applies (even if both Skinny Little Missy and Vegas Bomb end up clunkier and more heavy-footed than particularly powerful). Nickelback is the 11 th best selling musical act of all time with over 50,000,000 units sold and the 2 nd best selling “foreign” group in the U.

Granted, that’s not to excuse the clangers that are also prone within that usual package, of which Get Rollin’ continues to have its fair share.

That could be the whole reason Steel Still Rusts is here, as a song about a young man going off to war that’s more a celebration of veterans and soldiers than anything too critical of the US government or war itself (though thankfully, it’s nowhere near as jingoistic as it could be). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This doesn’t beat the last album which was amazing but there are so many catchy songs on this album it still makes it addictive to listen to . The album was released on November 18, 2022, with the lead single, San Quentin was released on September 7, 2022.I was, like, 'There's just no way that you're the warden of San Quentin,' and everyone was, like, 'Yup. The album's lead single " San Quentin" was released on September 7, 2022, accompanied by an official lyric video.
