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

I had heard their song "Rockstar" on MTV and decided to check them out. I come from an age before mp3's and ipods so my choice was to get a cd & to my surprise the songs did not fail to impress me. They seem to have a combination of some bands from past years. They have the musical drive of Metallica combined with the similiar vocals of Kurt Cobain (RIP). This may seem strange to some of you, but try to imagine my point of view. I grew up on a wide (and i do mean wide) range of music. Growing up i heard everything from Jackie Gleason (yes, he was a singer as well as an actor) to Led Zeppelin. I also listened to the songs of Charlie Daniels along with the supergroup The Highwaymen (try looking them up). As for why I bought this cd, it was the right price and it had a few of the songs i was looking for. Would recommend to anyone who is wavering on wether or not to purchase the album (yes, i said album. shows you how old I am.)
