No Fixed Address by Nickelback: Cue the gnashing of teeth and the sharpening of pitchforks, for here comes another selection of middle-of-the-road rock tunes destined to end up as background music for WWE wrestling montages. But wait, not everything is quite so mediocre. No Fixed Address is by far their most varied album to date – perhaps a subtle acknowledgement that they have taken their chugging anthems style about as far as it can go. There is more of an electronic vibe to be found here, with nearly all of the tracks buttressed with ebbing synths. The single What Are You Waiting For? is practically guitarless, with the singer Chad Kroeger roaring away over waves of uplifting keyboards. Despite its frat-boy subject matter, She Keeps Me Up even has the boys getting all funky, with grooving basslines. Edge of a Revoloution is basically bumper-sticker slogans served on top of some sturdy riffs. And Got Me Runnin’ Round, featuring Flo Rida, is as turgid as the combination suggests. No Fixed Address shows Nickelback are at least willing to offer something different – however, just barely.
