Thanks you for this. I was dying a little inside when that one member compared it to N-Sync. At least that's what went thru my mind when I see "Boy Band".

It definitely doesn't sound like a Nickelback song.
Its got lots of booming beats in the verses and lots of studio trickery throughout. Its definitely the most pop they've went so far.
Ryan and Daniel sound great on backing vocals.

thx for posting the FB link! I can't find the HQ anywhere yet.
I like it! I almost hear some elements of "Break Free" in the intro and outro of the song.

Maybe the thing with the "boy band" was just wrong. I just like their heavier songs more - and I didn't like that they're going more and more into pop with the latest albums. I think it's even more pop than If Today Was Your Last Day and Don't Ever Let It End. But I'm sure, I'm getting used to it when I heard the song twenty or thirty times I agree with mcbrearty: It doesn't really sound like Nickelback - but I'm very curious about the rest of their album.

I really like this! For some reason, the production reminds me of Imagine Dragons! If they can have success, maybe this can leave a little dent in pop. Granted, I don't see pop embracing them anymore (maybe Hot AC though).

That chorus is massive though, no doubting that.

Eh, this is okay. Not one of the best songs they put out for sure. This doesn't even sound like Nickelback.

I surprisingly really like this. It definitely is a new sound for them, which is probably a good thing if they want to make a big splash on Pop. Curious to see how the sales do on iTunes, I think it has a chance to be a big seller. If Maroon 5 can still chart really well, I don't see why this particular song couldn't do well on Pop radio. It's very friendly, and is even a little danceable (at least leaves itself open enough for a more dance oriented remix). I hope this does well, sounds better than 95% of the other songs on the Pop charts these days.

I don't see how this is less pop than songs like "Savin' Me" and "When We Stand Together." I really like it, though!

Like mcbrearty said, it has a really great sounding Chorus That screams Nickelbcak. I'm not convinced at the production gimmicks they used, but it's not a bad song. That being said, I wouldn't mind if there were no more songs like that on the new album. One is enuff for me.

Yeah I hope so too, I hope the rest of the album has plenty of heavy stuff and classic piano/guitar ballads that Nickelback are good at.

That Youtube version sounds Autotuned as heck, thankfully the studio version isn't. But I really don't know what to make of it.

I'm open to this sound - chorus as others have said is classic Chad - will CHR welcome them back or will this just be a HAC hit?

I'm really liking this. I think it's more immediate than "Edge of a Revolution" is, though I love both. To me, "When We Stand Together" was more pop than this, but the verses on this is pretty pop. Pretty much the comparison for this is "If Today Was Your Last Day" with the bridge from "Fight for All the Wrong Reasons" (most people don't know this song). Same ol formula from Nickelback.

A proper version of the song can do wonders for it.

I realized this sounds just like a Hedley song. Maybe "One Life"?
