Nickelback could donate all their money to charity and someone would still try to find something wrong with it. People would throw out the "so and so did it first, Nickelback sucks!!"
The song is alright, the video is pretty good. I like their stuff and there is nothing wrong with this song, the only thing wrong with Nickelback is their haters.

For us Nickelback haters, it's because Nickelback sucks for very empirical reasons. Their music all sounds the same (intended), it's droning, and the lyrics are all pretentious, vapid, and elementary (as in a grade 5 student wrote them).
This song has no where near the weight or introspection of Imagine. It's simply a money-making song. There's a hilarious video of a Nickelback concert in South America where the majority audience members hated the band and paid for tickets only to throw things at them.
