I'd much rather listen to Cradle of Filth, who actually have really creative arrangements, than Nickelback. Nickelback have a template for every song,
Oh man, I don't know about that. When I think of arrangement from a mixer/producer POV, it's not so much Verse/Chorus/Verse/Chorus type of stuff...it's everything else.

And in that regard, I think NB arrangments from the production side is fantastic. But you have to pay attention - how they use delays, distortion, eq - all that stuff. It's always moving, changing, and interesting.

I think they define a sound/style. The problem is we're too used to it. But if you have a chance to just sit down and listen/analyze what's going on in those mixes - you can REALLY learn alot.


Just my opinion.
