Nickelback, winners of Canada s Juno Award for Best New Band and Creed s tour-mates, are heavily influenced by the anthemic and articulate soulfulness of Pearl Jam. The State is consciously dramatic--sweet strums are overwhelmed by crashing waves of distorted guitar. Singer Chad Kroeger meaningfully wails tales of small-town woe, centering on complex relationships, a claustrophobic underground culture, and the struggle between staying and leaving. Yet Nickelback are at their best when they set aside their Pearl Jam debts, as with the heavy Deep, the grinding Not Leavin Yet, and the more experimental Worthy to Say. Nickelback are good, but still growing--possibly into something great. --Dominic Wills

Rock music is dead. - I can t listen to mainstream rock anymore and these guys are to blame. Everything sounds the same - I don t know if these guys are trying to sound like everyone else, or if everyone else is trying to sound like them. Either way, it just makes me want to throw my radio out the window and learn to play music myself. Anyone with any musical aptitude can write and perform better than this drivel.

nickleback state of mind - not as good as their reason cd. This one is sort of like a bunch of racket. Gets better each time one listens to it

Got what I wanted, fast - I received what I wanted in a very timely fashion, would do it again.

As good as they get - In my opinion, this is the only Nickleback album worth buying. All of their following albums sound like they are trying to make radio friendly songs, as opposed to a great album. Not that this album is great, but at least it sounds like they made an attempt. The same can not be said for their other albums. Do yourself a favor and don t bother with any Nickleback album other than this one.

Great major lable debut, the start of a monster - Most people consider this to be the first album by Nickelback, but Curb was actually before this one (1996). However, this was the first one (2000) on a lable that could push them (Roadrunner). I heard Leader of Men and Breathe a few months before they started getting radio play and I knew this band from Canada was something to contend with. Little did we know silver side up was going to be a massive pop/rock success, and bring nickelback into everyhouse hold, from teenage girls singing along, to 20 something metal fans rocking to the cruching sounds, to Mom and Dad finding something they like as well. Highlights from this album are Breath, Leader of Men, Old Enough, and Worthy to Say. For first time fans (hearing them on ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, or THE LONG ROAD), you might not like this right away, but it will grow on you quickly. For those of you who heard them back then, and just havn t picked this up, what are you thinking, BUY IT NOW!!!!!
