A Slow, Dumb Show

Via Youtube user Euphemism for Magic Programming Note: Because my time and internet access was relatively scarce last week, I decided to skip last week's album, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynold's Live at Radio City. I didn't have a ton to say about it anyway. I was going to do some bonus content that week by reviewing some Top Alternative Songs along with the Dave Matthews album, but it just didn't work out. So I've decided to skip ahead a week in the charts to a topic with plenty of material. In only a handful of columns, I've already reviewed some absolutely rough albums. I've covered perhaps the lowest points of Sum 41, The Smashing Pumpkins and KoRn's careers. But none of those artists are as universally hated as the monster of a band that is being reviewed this week. This band is such a punching bag that it's almost hard to remember just how popular they were in the early-mid 2000's. So let's just do it. Let's talk about Nickelbac...

Thanks for clearing that up, Barry (via RollingStone.com) Programming Note: I already wasn't sure what to do with next week's album, a live album by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. I didn't know if I should count it as part of the Dave Matthews Band discography since they do both DMB and solo Dave material. I also don't really know how to approach reviewing a live album, and since I'll be in Florida for a week I don't have much time to do a deep dive into Matthews' catalog. So next week I will briefly touch on Live at Radio City , but the meat of the article will likely be something completely different that doesn't take as much depth. I haven't fully decided on what that might be, but we'll all find out in a few days! Also, apologies for the slight delay in releasing this, for anybody who might have been looking out for me to drop the article on Wednesday. This week's topic might be interesting because I think we're on the verge ...
