Nickelback - Silver Side Up - CD Review
The guys of Nickelback know how to put out a solid rock CD. You won't find yourself skipping through any songs on their latest CD, Silver Side Up. It's a collection of great kick-butt tunes from track one right through to track 10.
One of the reasons Silver Side Up stands out is because of Chad Kroeger's incredible voice. He has a deep, edgy sound without being another Eddie Vedder wannabe. Chad's amazing voice isn't the only thing that makes the CD a must-have, the band also uses a lot of unique sounding guitar riffs. A perfect example of their unique guitar use is on Woke Up This Morning. It's a powerful, wicked rock song but they stop the guitars in sections which really makes vocals stand out. Occasionally the guitars come crashing back for effect. It's definitely one of my fave songs.
The disc also includes the huge hit How You Remind Me. The intense lyrics on this tune really grabbed me the first time I heard it on the radio. If you like this song, then I'm sure you'll give the entire album two thumbs up.
Listening to Silver Side Up made me want to catch Nickelback in concert, cuz I just know every single tune would make for a killer live performance. This CD can be listened to from start to finish and is full of meaningful lyrics and unusual vocals. Silver Side Up is golden.
