Description
The acoustic scrape that ushers in the first chorus of Leader of Men still catches the room off-guard, then the band leans in and it all kicks harder than you remember. Nickelback’s The State is the lean, pre–Silver Side Up set where the Alberta four-piece found their bite. Breathe arrives with a tight chug and a cracking snare, Old Enough rides a barroom stomp, and Worthy to Say shows off their knack for a mid-tempo hook without getting syrupy.
This LP pressing gives the guitars more space and lets the low end sit deeper, so the choruses feel bigger without turning to mush. You can hear the rhythm section lock in while Chad Kroeger’s vocal stays front and centre, a nice balance for a record built on sturdy riffs. It belongs on the shelf next to turn-of-the-millennium post-grunge like Creed, but the songs here feel drier and more workmanlike in the best way.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Nickelback records online with us. For Melbourne collections that want the band’s early grit without the later gloss, this hits the spot. The artwork and sequencing still make sense as a straight-through listen, and the singles don’t overshadow the deep cuts.
