OK, I have to share this with you guys. It's somewhat
appropriate, being about bands that need to die and
all, of which I could write list upon list, but truly
and tragically amazing.
If you've heard about this then tell me:
Somebody took two Nickleback songs and put one song in
each side of the stereo mix and ran them parallel with
each other. OK, twice the torture, yes, but here's
the payoff.
Both songs were exactly the same length, tempo, time
signature, key, drum fills and song structure. The
trick is even the dynamics are the same. The builds,
which instruments drop out and when, same vocal
attitude, all falling at exactly the same time. Some
of the parts actually call and respond. I was beside
myself!
Now, I don't know which songs they were as this was
the first time I ever listened all the way through a
Nickleback song without clawing my eyes from the
sockets, but they were the two "hits", I guess.
I'm still trying to formulate a response to such a
blatant display of formula production, but it speaks
volumes about where the industry has ended up after
all this digital clap-trappery. It's like some kind
of "hit" template, but right down to the millisecond.
Shameful. I don't know that I'd kill Nickleback
(well...), but I would definitely string up the
producer. By the look of this video, the portuguese
will take care of the band.
