Their early cd stuff is good. It's just that How You Remind Me has been waaaaaayyy overplayed. I loved them back when they were smaller. They did a cover of super bon bon that is probably the best live song I've heard... Too bad they didn't play it on new year's...
A lot of people are getting tired of them, but that's not because they suck, it's because all these people keep requesting that song so much, and they're killing it. Try downloading Nickelback - Fly (the one that got them on the radio here in Vancouver a while back), or perhaps Old Enough. That's the good NB.
