Silver Side Up by Nickelback (CD, Sep-2001, Roadrunner Records USA)

"How You Remind Me" and "Never Again" are a couple of the hits from this amazing CD. This is the album which actually introduced the world to Nickelback. However, if you are just a casual radio listener and only know those two songs, there is much more in store for you with the purchase of this CD. I think it is a very good album and has a great balance of hard rock songs and softer, slower ballads. Chad Kroeger is developing his voice on his album and it is reflected in the excellent melding of his deep voice and the guitar strumming. The quality of the songwriting (lyrically) is much, much better than the writing on "Curb" and Nickelback distinguishes themselves as a unique entity.
