Music : Silver Side Upby: Nickelback
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Following in Staind's footsteps, Nickelback make the personal public and vent a history of frustration and resentment to melodic hard rock. 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 catchy "How You Remind Me" and "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 Side Up, elevating Nickelback above the heap of copycat rockers clogging the airwaves. --Jennifer Maerz Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Impressive!"Silver Side Up" is an impressive rock album full of powerful, heavyish but very catchy rock songs. Melody and power are not always something that are captured together on rock albums but Nickelback have managed it on this to great effect. You are launched into this wonderful world with the gorgeous opening track "Never Again" and the album just does not let up, delivering one storming song after another. The combination of pace, power and enjoyment in a studio album is rare - extremely impressive!! Rating: - Decent but not their bestIf you're new to Nickelback then odds are that the reason you're checking out this album is the second track single 'How You Remind Me'. It's a cool song but the album isn't all that great and if you want to hear more of their better stuff you're probably better off getting 'All The Right Reasons', it's longer and much better overall. Having said that 'Silver Side Up' is still a nice little album and established fans should definitely add it to their collections, there's some very good tracks ...

Then 'how you remind me' makes it just an individual and personal effort by Nickelback to stun everyone, and send their song straight to number 1, which happened. Being a fan, I love Nickelback, so I love the album, I would love to see a new addition to the collection in the form of an unplugged concert, which would definitely gives these retro songs the edge that they need for some people to like ...

Rating: - A rock album that should be in everybody's music collectionI bought this album because I liked "How You Remind Me" and Chad's voice on "Hero". I rarely buy an album on the strength of one single, but I'm extremely glad this is one of the exceptions to the rule. Most of the CDs that come out these days seem to be made up of at least 50% "filler" tracks, but there is nothing like that to be found on Silver Side Up. The mix is good in both subject matter and in the actual music. I am not particularly into rock as a genre (I tend to listen to a bit of ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
