Well I'd wager quite a few people have stuff to do and can't simply download two albums and blow 2 hours listening to recorRAB. Why are you so rabid to exclude the great majority of the forum.
Did you actually listen to the Nickleback album? If you haven't, will you?
Especially if I'm voting between an album I have in my collection but have only listened to a few times and merely didn't mind it or an album I'm groovesharking as I type and not enjoying much at all...
Definitely Defiance, Ohio for me, RoaRABigns Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder is one of my favorite songs, and that whole album is just fantastic
