Noisey
Silver Side Up was the record that turned Nickelback from well-greased Canadian alt-rock touring piece to bonafide Juno-bait superstars and Canadian Recording Industry Association saviours.

The band delivers its sound professionally, but if you’re looking for originality, you might want a full refund instead of a Nickelback.

Nickelback ups the ante by offering realistic storytelling that listeners can relate to.

I probably should've never bought this album. But I did, so maybe now I can save you from buying it. Or something.

If you decided to buy their recent album based on the strength of this single you will probably be disappointed.

Attrition
If your looking for a damn good rock album to waste away the weekends with....an album that cries to be cranked as loud as possible over your vehicle's sound system while enjoying a drive with the windows down; do yourself a favor and go plunk down twenty bucks at your local music store.

The Sympathizer
Silver Side Up leads off with a four on the floor and bass rumble reminiscent of an early Alex Van Halen/Michael Anthony groove.

Metal.de
Their atmospheric alternation between quiet-melancholic-pensive and guitar-heavy parts lets you repeatedly press the Repeat button on your CD player.

Rough Edge
Nickelback’s release, "Silver Side Up," is good, tight music, very easy to listen to. That's the good news. The bad news is that the songs, for the most part, have too slow a pace and the lyrics are more than a little depressing, dealing with subject matter better left to the evening news.

While not a trailblazing entry in musical history 'Silver Side Up' proves that Nickelback aren't exactly one hit wonders who'll take their million-selling single and retire quietly to the festival circuit in Germany and Japan.
