Nickelback - Silver Side Up
Silver Side Up Review
Following Staind's footsteps, Nickelback make the personal public and vent a history of frustration and resentment to melodic hard rock. The band's second album, Silver Side Up, starts with "Never Again," an angry tirade against domestic violence that sheds light on the issue without too much sap or sentiment. The album's catchy radio hit "How You Remind Me" and the song "Woke Up This Morning" tell of rotting relationships, while other tracks touch on damaged hope and lost dreams. The post-grunge, alt-metal combo backing these songs packs as strong a punch as the lyrical material, going hard with lots of hooks. The additional slide guitar on "Hangnail" and sludgy, alt-metal riffs on "Hollywood," "Money Bought," and "Where Do I Hide" add a little meat to the alt-rock bones on Silver, elevating Nickelback above the heap of copycat rockers clogging the airwaves. --Jennifer Maerz

My First Nickelback Album, and I love it.....

Nickelback have been regarded as "posers", who only make music for the money. They've been criticized of not making "good" music and of not being innovative. However, I have to disagree with these views. Let's be real for a minute, and realize that most artists, nowadays, make music for the benefits. Now, I am not saying that the creativity and uniqueness has been lost, nonetheless, I am implying that music, for the most part, is done for the "mainstream" popularity.
Silver Side Up possesses some very memorable tracks. In my opinion, people need to look beyond "How You Remind Me." Is it a great song, of course; has it been overplayed, without a doubt, but we need to become aware that other gems lie inside this production. Songs like Woke Up This Morning, Too Bad, Just For and Where Do I Hide are outstanding in their own unique way. My favorite is Good Times Gone, which has this gloomy-ish sound to it. I advise anyone, who's into the likes of Creed, Staind and Lifehouse, to buy SSU.

This album is one of Nickelback's best. All the songs are full of emotion and more direct than their previous albums. This album is put together better than their previous albums as well, due to the higher amount of funding and the people they had producing and mixing. All 10 songs on the album are worth listening to (almost everyone has heard "How you remind me"). The songs are versatile and complex and they touch on difficult subjects.

Some of the songs are biographical, some aren't. (Rather interesting to think about that.)

"How you remind me" was written in rehearsals before they went to record the album.

Ignore the first review and really listen to the songs. Anyone that is a true fan of rock will enjoy this album. They haven't gone soft either - their 2 new albums "The Long Road" and "All the Right Reasons" contain some really hard core rock in them. I was surprised - most groups lose their edge over time - Pearl Jam, Metallica, etc. Nickelback hasn't lost theirs yet. I hope they never do. It's what makes them so appealing.
