Hiking with Analise (3)

They remained silent for a moment before Analise asked, "Have you really never heard Nickelback?"

"Have you?"

"Oh, um, now that you ask, I'm not sure that I have."

"Well, we have more than an hour before we get to the trailhead, so let's give them a listen."

His phone was already linked to the Land cruiser's sound system, so he unlocked it and handed it to her. She opened up the music app and did a search.

"How about their album from 2014?"

"Sure."

The music started playing, and at first, it seemed fine. It sounded like a professional band, but there was something off. Eventually Analise turned to him and said, "It sounds like a watered down imitation of Disturbed."

"That's it. It sounded like something. I just couldn't put a name on it. Skip to the next song."

She tapped on the song list and the next song started.
