I like a fair bit of Nickelback, and I undoubtedly think _The State_ is one of their best work.
I'm still waiting for a "Regretting the Past" episode on "Dark Horse."
Kyle Hegedus As a big Nickelback fan, Dark Horse is a garbage album.
Kylo Astora It basically just copied ATRR. But No Fixed Address is way worse.
Oh holy shit I had to review that album back in the day and it was so bad it kind of offended me.
The part that drove me up the wall was a sad ballad they wrote about a friend who died from a drug addiction, meanwhile this came after numerous tracks celebrating drinking whiskey, smoking weed, and partying with strippers. It was so hypocritical and craven it was kind of disgusting.
As a nickleback Metallica and Pantera I personally enjoyed dark horse better Tha no fix adress
Kylo Astora Yeah, Dark Horse certainly did not help the band's reputation at all, it was just more fuel to the fire.
for me it goes like this
1. the state
2. curb
3. feed the machine (grew on me big time)
Lol, that's exactly my top 3. And yeah, Feed the Machine grew on me big time as well.
Z-Soul 512 Yep!!!!
my favorites are hesher then curb abd the state
Music Industry: Hey, you guys have great potential. Would be a shame if something happened to it.
3 years later...
@@patricklauer4452 Silver Side Up is Good, NICKELBACK got bad from All The Right Reasons
Oh God, imagine what Nickelback back in the 90's would say if they saw Nickelback during Dark Horse!
I actually preferred the very first album "Curb". Ya'll should check out their song "Little Friend" from that album. Great hard rocker.
I love Curb. But I love The State more. Both albums are amazing.
Curb was a great album too
Personally not my favorite album of Nickelback, but the tracks you mentioned are some of the best by Nickelback. These tracks have a hard edge to them, but you wouldn't classify them as metal. It's a sweet spot, in my opinion.
I agree. Very underrated album, showed one of rocks biggest punching bags actually had the chance to be something back in the day.
I'll still always see Chad as a poor man's Chris Cornell (yep still hurts like hell he's gone) and Nickelback as watered down Soundgarden but still this showed potential. I think that's what the biggest kick is, they could've been a solid band but now 20 years on nothing has come on this level
Charlie .Hubbard Don’t compare them to the mighty Soundgarden!!!! R.I.P. Chris Cornell 😢
Wow! What a nice surprise to see a review on a not-so-well-known Nickelback album. I love this album! "Cowboy Hat" and "Not Leavin' Yet" are my favorite tracks, for sure.
Definitely the best album from the band, and my personal favorite next to _The Long Road_ and _Feed The Machine._
The Long Road is great I think
I don't hate Nickelback, I don't love them either. I've always been somewhat in-between on the band. Feed The Machine was the 1st album of theirs where I kinda liked it. I wouldn't say it's a 10/10, but it's a solid 7/10. & I can see why people like them, especially The State. It does show some talent & range.
Jason Hurk That's your opinion mate. I think it has a good mix of hard rock songs as well as heart felt ballad's. I only dislike Figured You Out because it's raunchy.
Aiko Yumi The only song on "The Long Road" that is completely unlistenable, in my opinion, is "Figured You Out." That song is just disgusting!!!
Kyle Hegedus I don't really hate the song that much but it did start their trend of dirty and raunchy songs.
Thank you for putting this up! I have been wanting to know your thoughts on this album for a while.
Hindsight being 20/20: I was hoping Nickelback wouldn't be a 1 hit Wonder back in 2000 when I heard Leader of Men.
I remember finding Breathe in Napster back in the day and loving that, not only did I find a good song, but I also had a song no one else at school knew about. Everyone was listening to Silver Side Up so I scored some of the world's first hipster points!
Johnny Bensonitis I found curb when it came out as a label release. Then the state after silver side up. Could not believe it was the same band.
Keith Freeman Wasn't Curb an independant release?
I definitely loved this album back in the day, which makes it so sad they sold out on their very next album. This is the best they'll probably ever get now that they've discovered their magic formula, and that's kind of sad. Considering their first album was 8/10, imagine if they'd improved even more on their third album. Glad I'm not the only one who likes "Breathe."
Here's my (unimportant) opinion about these guys : While I certainly liked them back when I was 13-14 and Silver Side Up was the best thing ever, I do get now why people hated them all along. I cannot listen to songs like Photograph or Something in Your Mouth with a straight face on. Most of these songs are hilariously shitty and without any self-awareness, but that's the point : What never worked for other bands, worked for them. Remember when Def Leppard, Weezer or recently Linkin Park tried to pander to a certain audience? And yes, they have all failed. Adrenalize bombed, so did Ratitude and Red, and for One More Light I don't even have to explain. When Nickelback does this, they go Diamond. And what's even funnier : they are a relevant act for 20 years now. And the reason why I like Feed the Machine is that there are almost no signs of song-writing schemes that ruined their previous efforts. And yes, Rockstar is a sarcastic, almost satirical song. Just listen to it again. It's Beverly Hills by Weezer reversed, and funny as hell, just look at it as a one big satirical joke.
NOW YA GOTTA DO A REVIEW OF CURB. DUDE!
People don’t believe me when I tell them there was a time when Nickelback was actually decent. This album got heavy play in 2000. Silver Side Up would come out soon after and while I was initially attracted to How You Remind Me based off of me enjoying this album, I cannot name another song off of that album and that was the end of the road for me liking Nickelback
Nickeback really knew how to rock back then
I'd love to call myself a fan if they were actually this awesome
Are you going to review The Curb?
Yeah, that track is my favorite song by the band. Leader of Men still holds up 25 years later.
Fun fact: the track, one last run, was written by kroeger about his last drug run before calling it quits, during which the truck he had barrowed launched off the road and into a corn field.
A cop stopped to see what happened, and the high, ramen-haired noodle brain had to hide the drugs in his pants, and laugh off the accident to get rid of the cop.
I actually heard "Leader of Men" on SiriusXM once back in 2018.
"IMPRESIVE DRUMMING" yessss Vikedal FTW
This and The Long Road are probably my favorite albums from these guys. Maybe give that one also a look.
Nickelback (1996-1998) hell yeah
Nickelback (2001-2017) HELL NO
For me Nickelback (1996 - 1998) hell yeah, (2001) Amazing (2003) hmmm Ok (2005 - 2015) HELL NO (2017 - 2022) hmmmm yes?
Worthy to say is very relatable due to its lyrical content living in canada before weed was legal i can more easily relate to them
This is how I’d ranked Nickelback albums from best to worst(in my opinion):
The State
All the Right Reasons(Mostly for nostalgia)
The Long Road
Feed the Machine
The Curb
SilverSide Up
Dark Horse
Here and Now
No Fixed Address
“Curb” and “The State” are great albums. Why did they choose to waste their potential????
Luke what are your thoughts on Chad Krogers comments on Corey Taylor, Stone Sour and Slipknot. I'm just curious man
^same
Can't speak for Luke, but to me personally that's as idiotic as Brent Hines saying Judas Priest aren't a metal band (in case we forgot that that actually happened). Like, all opinions are subjective, but some just reek of such unmitigated arrogance that the person saying them deserves to be slapped simply for being an arrogant narcissist.
Plus also, I'm pretty sure Corey could take Chad. And if anyone reading this is wondering why, go watch some live video of Slipknot. When you're the general behind an army of chaos like that, you can handle yourself.
john A. I dont care whether you like nickelback or not Chad is being childish. Clearly had no idea what he's talking about.
It about time you gave "The Long Road" a roasting.
Hold out your hand is pretty good - the drums and interlude are cool.
Luke writing a positive review of Nickel back.....are you feeling alright?
We want a Regreating the past of Nickelback's "Dark Horse"
Alonso Rojas Dark Horse is trash, I prefer Silver/Right Reasons over it any day
Mitsuzane Kureshima boi dark was amazing Monday night raw vibes
Nice review! Luke, what do you think about their album "Curb"?
Yeah, I'm curious as well. I know there is one song on it he didn't like though, which was "Just Four". The song was re-released on Silver Side Up, and in his review of it, he said he didn't like it. I think he called it a "generic love song" or something.
I happen to like Curb myself. Then again, I also liked Silver Side Up and The Long Road. I don't pull out Silver Side that much anymore. I'm with Luke that after awhile the formula becomes apparent, the lyrics become too overbearingly dark, and everything starts sounding the same (and by "the same" I mean what would happen if Silverchair, 3 Doors Down, and The Calling had a rape baby together, then repeatedly bashed it in the head with a wooden spoon), but in isolation I can listen to any one track on that one and probably still enjoy it. Curb and The Long Road on the other hand I think are both great and pretty good if a little formulaic respectively. It's AFTER The Long Road that I think Nickelback turns into the epitome of a production line rock band.
My top 3 Nickeal Back albums
1. Dark Horse
2. Feed the machinece
3. Curb
My favorite album is still The Long Road (2003) and Feed the Machine is probably their best material since but the state is definitely a different kind of album.
I also love The Long Road.
I have to be honest. I actually like this album.
finally a good Nickelback album instead of a crap filled radio format album I do admit I have been a fan of the band for years but then I finally woke up and realize that this band is crap because I have Breaking Benjamin
Breaking Benjamin is awesome, don't get me wrong, but Nickelback have their moments
I love The State.
Between this review and reading some of the comments for the video, it looks like this is one of the more liked albums the band has. This kinda surprises me tbh. I always thought this one was kinda forgettable compared to the others. I remember albums like All The Right Reasons & Silver Side Up from start to finish, while this one I almost completely forget I even listened to it the second it's over, with the exception of a few tracks.
I loved this record! Hahaha. Curb was great too
Ryan Vikedal FTW!!!
Admittedly, I listen to _The State_ whenever I'm writing stories.
I think you should definitely review their album The Long Road. It has some surprisingly heavy songs on it.
Demon Rantz Flat On The Floor is pulse-pounding
Because of You kinda sounds like a Disturbed song as well (to me anyways).
"We gotta make love one last time in the shower!"
But what does Corey Taylor think about it?
my favorite album besides feed the machine
waited so long for this
I remember a writer from Cracked saying they hated the song Worthy to Stay because it was the perfect song. Catchy, dynamic, and wouldn't get out of your head. And he hated it.
This album almost sounds a cross between The Tragically Hip and....Staind? It actually sounds ok. I'm not a Staind fan but love The Hip.
Nickelback's The State looks more like Creed's My Own Prison, Stone Temple Pilots' No 4, Silverchair's Freak Show, and Fuel's Porcelain
And the second Days of the New Album
With their popularity, they would've always been hated. Still, I like some of the more simpler songs from now. Nothing to complicated, yet sending the message and telling the story. I'm not going to defend all of them, but there are a lot of their songs that get hated because of their simplicity, which doesn't make a song bad except for reviewers.
Do a review of appetite for destruction
You know why people love this nickelback album, it's not because it's actually good, it's because it is over so soon.
To be honest though this is actually a really good album compared to everything that followed... all the right reasons
Yeah much like Theory Of A Deadman, Nickelback's old material was actually good.
Being a ex-fan of both and looking back at them, meh. Nothing Could Come Between Us is a pretty good song, but the rest of their self-titled debut, while not the offensive misogynist stupid crap featured on The Truth Is and Scars and Souvenirs, doesn't hold much weight compared to Leader of Men, Breathe or Old Enough.
Santa Monica was the one song off Gasoline that I can truly appreciate for being a well-written song, the rest of it just is stupid and/or generic wannabe rock filler, in my opinion.
Wait Nickelback was decent😕
I've heard some people say that The State isn't that different than Silver Side Up. What would you like to say to them?
For those who don't believe me, here is one such person.

Maybe we could replace Nickelback with Theory Of A Deadman or Trapt in the “Tri-Force Of Suckage.”
REVIEW CURB
I don't hate Nickelback, but I'm fine with other people hating them if they know why they hate them. A lot of people who say bad things about them can't even tell me the name of one Nickelback song, and they just assume that since everybody else hates them, they are bad.
Nickelback has been making garbage generic music for so long, they've forgotten how to make anything with effort
This album’s too good to be a Nickelback album!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow
This starting to become pretty unfair. At first, I thought all three bands of the "Triforce of Suckage" would be treated and reviewed equally, but now it appears that one of the bands is getting special treatment compared to the others.
had_ookin That's because more of Luke's fans want to see him tackle Nickelback (plus, they've released more albums than Limp Bizkit and Creed combined, hence more material to cover)
20th
Even the Nickelback haters would say the state was a damn good album
Nickelback, why not 311
Please don't review dark horse that needs to be a regretting the past
AcePlays no he's gonna do regretting the past on no fixed address
I loved dark horse
AcePlays I am SOOOO waiting for him to do an RTP episode on either “Dark Horse” or “No Fixed Address!!!!”
This album is more diverse than Stone Sour's entire discography *takes another swig of beer*
Sounds like you've had more than a swig.
Well, I was always told that I...
