The State by Nickelback (CD, Mar-2000, Roadrunner Records USA)

CDs in increasing order of "goodness" by Nickelback:
"Curb," "The State," "Silver Side Up," "The Long Road," and "All the Right Reasons."

"The State" is not a bad CD at all, but it's just that it is unremarkable. It is forgettable rock music, a CD you can put in, listen to, nod your head to a few songs, and then quickly forget once it's over. The songs are not very deep lyrically and fail to convey a lot of meaning to me. Also, the instrumentation is not as good as that on "Silver Side Up" or their 2 latest efforts. If you are a big fan of Nickelback, then this review won't deter you from buying it. But if you are a newbie to Nickelback, buy "All the Right Reasons" or "The Long Road," and then "Silver Side Up" before this one.

Another great CD by my favorite group! A must have for Nickelback fans! I loved all of the songs. They have really progressed as musicians. The early CD's are as good as "All the right reasons"!

It was a positive buying experience. Received the product in good working order. Was shipped promptly.

The CD is basically their first National release and does have some good tracks. Most notably the track "Leader of Men" which is now recieving more airplay now that the band is better known. The Accoustic version of "Leader of Men" is really the reason I bought the CD.

the cd is great. havent had it for years. its nice to find it on ebay, because i havent been able to find it in the local stores. only the new stuff and im not fond of the new nickelback. thanks again for a great cd

Bought it cos I LOVE nickelback - and am not disappointed at all. Again Chad Koeger's amazing voice and skilled writing - if you love nickelback- this is a good one to have in your collection.

great c/d and great price............................................................................................................................................................

Unlike any other voice is Chad Kroeger and this album accentuates the talent he has along with the remaining members of Nickelback (which now includes Daniel Adair). The State is the beginning of success for Nickelback and any premium fan listens to this album to remember that everyone starts out somewhere and grows. It is an older sound for NB but this album rocks as do the other 5 albums (Hesher, Curb, Silver Side Up, The Long Road & All The Right Reasons). It's a keeper!

I bought it because I have all of Nickelbacks CD's. I had to order on line because my local store didn't carry this title. I like the whole CD.

received in great condition. In general, the cd is not as good as later nickelback cds. quality of songs improved on later cds. would buy this again.

I loved this cd. I would highly recommend this to anyone especially any NICKELBACK FAN! Nothing I didnt like about this cd. The whole cd was excellent.

I just love this cd, it is one that is listen to daily. I purchased copies for home, work and my car, I am never without this cd. I would highly reccomend it to every Nickelback fan out there. If you don't have it get it, you won't be sorry. Every song has some kind of a little story to it, some sad and some very cheerful. I decided to purchase this cd for the simple fact I am a Nickelback addict. I can't get enough of their music.

I'm an extreme Nickelback fan and this CD just does not rock out like the others. I have not played it much but I am going to try to give it another chance.
