Album Description

Industrial-strength {\rock & roll} is back with a vengeance on the earnest {^Silver Side Up} by Canadian import {$Nickelback}. The band wastes no time in getting into its brand of dark, high-octane {\rock}. The album opener, {&"Never Again,"} about spousal abuse, thrusts out of the starting gate with rocket-fueled intensity. Lead singer/guitarist/lyricist {$Chad Kroeger} does not mince words in his portrayals of the darker sides of the human experience, and that is what {^Silver Side Up} is essentially about. {$Nickelback}'s music is issue-oriented on the domestic and personal front, and it's a refreshing change of pace in 2001's sea of angry rockers. Another familial subject is tackled on the pounding {&"Too Bad."} The song describes an emotionally and physically absent father figure as seen through the eyes of a regretful adult-child looking back. The cut that broke the band to mainstream audiences is {&"How You Remind Me,"} a thundering, midtempo {\rock} track marked by thick chords and a brooding tone. {$Kroeger}'s voice is filled with weariness as he well captures the self-defeated feelings one experiences when being emotionally dissected by a lover. Such words as "'cause living with me must have damn near killed you" painfully zero in on the breakdown of the human spirit when it's badgered enough. Because, sadly, many have found themselves in this situation, the song connects with listeners. Coupled with a powerful and moody {\soundtrack}, it's no wonder it took off on the radio. {\Grunge} pays a visit on the set's closing number, {&"Good Times Gone."} This well-crafted song slowly builds in intensity -- from the intro's fingered guitar notes and understated vocals, to the gradual addition of instruments, to {$Kroeger}'s explosive vocal release at the song's end, which retreats back into softly strummed guitar notes. {&"Good Times Gone"} is reminiscent of a {$Pearl Jam} number, and this is no surprise; {^Silver Side Up} was co-produced by {$Rick Parashar}, who has worked with Seattle's finest. {$Nickelback}'s style is edgy aggressive {\rock} peppered with a taste of {\grunge}. The band can easily sit alongside {$Staind} and {$3 Doors Down}, among other like acts. However, what {$Nickelback} have in spades -- and what gives the group an upper hand over its peers -- is intensity and raw passion. Some bands finger the crap out of their guitars and relentlessly beat away at the drums, crafting songs that boast the intensity of an electric storm. {$Nickelback} ups the ante by offering realistic storytelling that listeners can relate to. [In 2005, {@Roadrunner} reissued their 2003 repackaging of {^Silver Side Up} with the concert DVD {=Live at Home} as part of their {^25th Anniversary Series}. This new repackaging has no new material.] ~ Liana Jonas, All Music Guide

Album Description

With their fourth album, {^All the Right Reasons}, {$Nickelback} ditches any pretense of being a {\grunge} band and finally acknowledges they're a straight-up heavy {\rock} band. Not that they've left the angst of {\grunge} behind: they're a modern {\rock} band living in a {\post-grunge} world, so there's lots of tortured emotions threaded throughout the 11 songs here. But where their previous albums roiled with anger -- their breakthrough {&"How You Remind Me"} was not affectionate, it was snide and cynical -- there's a surprisingly large sentimental streak running throughout {^All the Right Reasons}, and it's not just limited to heart-on-sleeve power {\ballads} like {&"Far Away"} and {&"Savin' Me,"} the latter being the latest entry in their soundalike sweepstakes. No, lead singer/songwriter {$Chad Kroeger} is in a particularly pensive mood here, looking back fondly at his crazy times in high school on {&"Photograph"} ("Look at this photograph/Every time I do it makes me laugh/How did our eyes get so red?/And what the hell is on Joey's head?"), lamenting the murder of {$Dimebag Darrell} on {&"Side of a Bullet"} (where a {$Dimebag} solo is overdubbed), and, most touching of all, imagining "the day when nobody died" on {&"If Everyone Cared"} (which would be brought about "If everyone cared and nobody cried/If everyone loved and nobody lied"). Appropriately enough for an album that finds {$Kroeger}'s emotional palette opening up, {$Nickelback} tries a few new things here, adding more pianos, keyboards, and acoustic guitars to not just {\ballads}, but a few of their big, anthemic rockers; they even sound a little bit light and limber on {&"Someone That You're With,"} the fastest tune here and a bit of relief after all the heavy guitars. All this makes for a more varied {$Nickelback} album, but it doesn't really change their essence. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
