That's probably cause there's only half worth telling The way it flows so seamlessly from sort of nondescript to raging is so elegant, so much moreso than in How You Remind Me. The true successor to How You Remind Me is Do This Anymore, which has the same lyrical themes, attitude, and feel, but significantly better. It's not a masterpiece, but I like it quite a bit. By all measures except in structure, and I guess scale, the songs are different, and I usually find myself preferring Someday. The latter also uses more sustained notes in the chorus whereas the former is much snappier in its riffage. How You Remind me is disillusioned, jaded and a bit spiteful, whereas Someday is emotional and pleading. The songs do not have the same tone or lyrical content. The fusion works though, and creates a very cool new harmony in the mashup, which people take as assuming they use the exact same chord progressions. They both have the same progression in the chorus except for the first chord. How You Remind me has three different chord progressions throughout the song, Someday has two. The song's melodies are significantly different, following their own separate patterns throughout the whole thing which is why it always sounds like a cacophony.To be clear, in that mashup you can hear: About half banger tunes, and the other half is only average, or just below, but not awful like in many other releases.Īlot of people criticize Someday as a remake of How You Remind Me because of that mashup that started the "every Nickelback song sounds the same" line. At the same time I also think the Long Road is one of the band's least offensive albums, as well as most consistent. What do they all have in common? Relatively few eyes on them. On many aggregate review sites the Long Road tends to be rated the highest among Nickelback albums, with middling scores alongside The State and Feed the Machine.
