The Best of Nickelback Volume 1 is the first greatest hits album by Canadian rock band Nickelback. It was released on November 4, 2013 through Roadrunner Records (internationally) and Universal Music Canada (in Canada) to coincide with their October–November 2013 "The Hits Tour". Though frontman Chad Kroeger had previously stated in an interview that their upcoming greatest hits album would include new songs as well as previous hits, the final track listing contains only previously released material. The compilation features singles released from all but the band's first two albums; namely Silver Side Up (2001), The Long Road (2003), All the Right Reasons (2005), Dark Horse (2008), and Here and Now (2011).
2013 collection from the Canadian hard rockers. Encapsulating an astonishing career to date, The Best Of Nickelback Volume One features 19 tracks, over 73 minutes of music, including the smash hits "Photograph," "How You Remind Me," "Rockstar," "Burn It To the Ground," "Far Away" and many more. Nickelback is one the biggest rock bands in the world with a proven track record that certainly speaks to the group's stature. The group has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and, since the 2001 breakthrough of "How You Remind Me," has sent more than 18 singles rocketing onto the various Billboard charts, expanding its solid foothold in Rock markets to the Top 40 world.
Nickelback is a Canadian rock band from Hanna, Alberta, formed in 1995 by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. While largely a rock band, the group has also experimented with various other musical styles such as pop and country, aside from their hard rock and post-grunge base. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s.
The band is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."
Forget the album cover, which looks like homemade artwork on a CD handed out by a desperate artist patrolling the boardwalks in Venice Beach. Get Rollin' continues the back-to-basics approach Nickelback started with 2017's Feed the Machine, stripping away anything that doesn't contribute to their heavy-footed wallop. All power chords and thick backbeats, traits that are still evident in the power ballads, Get Rollin' hardly sounds modern but Nickelback have been around the block enough times to not even attempt to hide their advancing age: they not only indulge in wistful nostalgia for "Those Days," they call one of their songs "Skinny Little Missy" as if they were grandpas.
Always a tad bit cleverer than he's ever given credit for, Chad Kroeger is perfectly aware not only of his encroaching middle age but also the shifting commercial marketplace and where Nickelback fit within that. No Fixed Address, Nickelback's eighth album and by some measure their most adventurous record, doesn't find Kroeger abandoning his gift for brutish hooks, but he has moved his band away from its reliance on Paleozoic power chords.
Three CDs packed with some of the best power ballads of all time. Bringing together artists such as Robbie Williams, R.E.M., Queen, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, The Rolling Stones and more, youÂ’ll find some of the finest driving anthems.
