 (37 Customer Reviews)
"How You Remind Me" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year.
Nickelback are arguably the preeminent bastard children of '90s hard rock. On the Canadian band's sophomore effort, the songs will surely appeal to heavy rockers who were introduced to Metallica as shorthaired rock heroes. Simple, crunchy chord progressions (that insinuate themselves quickly into one's memory) are matched by emotionally charged lyrics on SILVER SIDE UP.
"Never Again" is a chilling description of domestic abuse from the victim's point of view. The radio-bound track "How You Remind Me" puts a cynical new spin on typical motifs usually reserved for 80's pop-metal balladeers. "Money Bought" addresses sexual exploitation while "Just For" shows how the darker side of love can inspire vengeance. On the whole, SILVER SIDE UP is a promising follow-up to THE STATE, closing with the token acoustic-meets-electric track "Good Times Gone."
Recorded at Greenhouse Studios, Burnaby, British Colombia, Canada.
Nickelback: Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake (vocals, guitar); Mike Kroeger (bass); Ryan "Nik" Vikedal (drums).
Additional personnel: Ian Thornley (slide guitar).

Nickelback needs to start making music like this again. After years of owning this album, I still listen to it from time to time. I enjoy every song on it in its own way. But please, Nickelback, go back to your roots... or are the Good Times Gone?

Wow
It is rare that I buy a CD and like every single song on it. This is the exception. What a great selection of music this band put together. You will thoroughly enjoy listening to this one over and over again.

I like the CD a lot. I purchased it for one song, "How you remind me," but the more I listen to the entire CD the more I like it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Never Again makes me smile
Never Again is absoloutely amazing.
I would get the CD for that song alone, but of course they had to give us 'How You Remind Me' and 'Too Bad' as well.

Silver Side Up
 $13.49  
Those with a short cultural memory say that Canada's Nickelback is reminiscent of power-rockers Creed. To the rest of the world, this means that they're influenced by grunge stalwarts Pearl Jam, which also means they're indebted to vintage alt rock and to '70s hard rock. All these sonic touchstones are readily apparent on THE STATE. The album ostensibly revolves around "Leader of Men," which garnered the most attention on the album's initial release, and which is reprised at the end of the album in an acoustic version just to drive the point home.
Anyone drawn in by that cut will find more to like here. The opening track "Breathe" finds Nickelback charging with full force straight out of the gate over a relentless rhythm section and ...

Most modern hard rock bands miss the mark by over-emphasizing great riffs and neglecting the importance of complementary vocals. Luckily, such is not the case with Staind, who owe some nods to Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst for career guidance. Durst encouraged vocalist Aaron Lewis to sing more and scream less, which proved to be a key factor in the band's development. The appeal of Staind lies in the purity and fierce emotional integrity of their music, traits seldom seen in heavy rock since Suicidal Tendencies and Pantera ruled the roost.
Lewis's moonlighting as a solo acoustic performer in the band's lean years serves Staind well as BREAK THE CYCLE boasts a well balanced set of thrashy material ("Open Your Eyes" and "Safe Place") offset by more gentle rock ballads ("Fade" and "Suffer"). It is the impact of those ballads that sets Staind ...
| | Puddle Of Mudd Come Clean CD (2001)
Silver Side Up
$10.99
Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst has a growing stable of talent that is building a track record of amazing successes; first with the wildcard explosion of Staind and then with the signing of melodic alt-rockers Puddle Of Mudd to his Flawless label. It's frightening how well the songs on COME CLEAN stick with the listener immediately. "Control" couples a sleaze-meets-Tool middle eight with STP-flavored guitar crunch. The single-worthy offerings "Nobody Told Me" and "Blurry" burn their way into one's consciousness with the soon-to-be-signature octave-unison vocals of Wes Scantlin.
Former Eleven/Chris Cornell drummer Greg Upchurch brings seasoned chops to the table, especially in "Basement" and "Out Of My Head." The lovesick parody of "She Hates Me" is destined ...
| | Creed Weathered CD (2001)
Silver Side Up
$7.59
"My Sacrifice" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Undaunted by the prospect of matching the diamond status of Creed's HUMAN CLAY, the band returned to the studio stripped to a three-piece unit. The album's title speaks volumes of the band's amazing rise to glory and trials of dealing with the critical backlash of seeming overnight success. With no immediate plans to replace founding bassist Brian Marshall (associate member Brett Hestla was busy with his own recording sessions), guitarist Mark Tremonti stepped up and aptly handled bass duties on WEATHERED. Arguably Creed's heaviest song to date, "Bullets" opens with thunderous riffs and Tool-inspired arpeggios. Opening with a mystical Indian chant by Bo Taylor, "Who's Got My Back Now" builds progressively with Zeppelinish dramaticism, owing much to Tremonti and vocalist Scott Stapp's winning collaborative prowess. Longtime producer John Kurzweg took his place behind the controls, dialing in a towering "live" ...

$15.49 
Possessing one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in alternative rock, Chad Kroeger led Nickelback to the top of the post-grunge heap with a combination of Metallica-esque riffing and some of the hugest hooks this side of Nirvana. Riding on the massive radio success of the single "Someday," THE LONG ROAD delivers a collection of unusually well crafted lyrics swathed in an energetic blend of massive-sounding de-tuned guitars and rapid-fire vocal rhythms. Throughout, Kroeger spins appropriately angst-ridden ...

As always, frontman Chad Kroeger's gritty voice remains Nickelback's calling card, and his emotive singing carries every tune, most notably the nostalgic "Photograph" and "Far Away," a tender, echo-laden ballad. Kroger has never met a guitar effect that he didn't like, as evidenced by the revved-up ...
