Music : The Long Roadby: Nickelback
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: It's never easy following up a multi-platinum success, yet with The Long Road, Canada's Nickelback seem sure to match the sales of the many-million-selling Silver Side Up. The formula remains pretty much the same. Nothing fancy, just radio-friendly grunge-rock lending an appropriately dramatic backing to the powerful and increasingly confident voice of Chad Kroeger, the undoubted star of this show. Aside from the fast and punchy opener "Flat on the Floor", the tough, staccato "Because of You" and the Oasis-recalling "Figured You Out", the band deal exclusively in soft-rock anthems (soft, that is, by 2003's pulverising standards), the strong vocal melodies encouraging stadium sing-alongs. Indeed, the closing "See You at the Show" seems deliberately designed for crowd interaction. The only real change is in Kroeger's lyrical concerns. Where 2000's The State saw him suffering the frustrations and claustrophobic complexities of small town life, now he's tortured by a heavy touring schedule (the long road of the title, one presumes) that promotes destructive drug abuse and strains his attempted relationships to breaking point. That said, you can't help feeling the ruthlessly analytical Kroeger would turn a visit to the supermarket into a riot of hatred and self-recrimination. For fans of Silver Side Up, Nickelback have delivered the goods once more. --Dominic Wills Average Rating:
 Rating:  - reviewJames Brookes-Chambers Nickelback- The long road \\\\ With Nickelback in the charts at the moment with their number 3 single Rockstar, many people that like rock will have heard of them. However, the album- The long road is completely different, the first track, Flat on the floor is extremely fast paced and much more intense than some of their later singles (How you remind me and Rockstar). This album is more heavy rock and grunge than other ...

The tunes are heart-stopping, which 'Figured You Out' having a great guitar intro, and the melodic follow on 'Should've Listened' makes the album much better than their first effort, 'Silver Side Up', which fit the time well. The fast paced ...

If you like rock then this is the band for you, their music is great. Rating: - The Long Road + All The Right ReasonsGood CDs, Both powerful and worth buying. The CDs were also shipped quickly and arrived early. Very pleased. Rating: - The Long RoadWhat an album! Very hard hitting, powerful both vocally and musically. I just found something in this album which made me listen to it repeatedly for weeks afterwards. If you like heavy rock, you'll savour this! My personal favourites are 'Do This Anymore' and 'Someday'. Browse for similar items by category:
