To the rest of the world, this means that they're influenced by grunge stalwarts Pearl Jam, which also means they're indebted to vintage alt rock and to '70s hard rock. All these sonic touchstones are readily apparent on THE STATE. The album ostensibly revolves around \"Leader of Men,\" which garnered the most attention on the album's initial release, and which is reprised at the end of the album in an acoustic version just to drive the point home.\nAnyone drawn in by that cut will find more to like here. The opening track \"Breathe\" finds Nickelback charging with full force straight out of the gate over a relentless rhythm section and jackhammer guitar riffs. \"Deep\" slows down the pace to an undulating grind, never releasing the hard-won tension for a moment. While Nickelback may show more of Creed's unrelenting attack than Pearl Jam's eclecticism, fans of either band should feel entirely comfortable in the aural environs of THE STATE.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/10\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nickelback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751490314413,"sku":"RI6W9V-44VJ-00","price":27.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Nickelback-State-Rocktober-2017-Exclusive-Vinyl_j7uoh.jpg?v=1741191221"},{"product_id":"nickelback-long-road-vinyl","title":"Nickelback LONG ROAD Vinyl","description":"Nickelback: Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake (vocals, guitar); Mike Kroeger (bass); Ryan \"Nik\" Vikedal (drums).\nRecorded at Greenhouse Studios, Burnaby, British Colombia and Mountainview Studio, Abbotsford, British Colombia.\nThanks to their smash number one hit \"How You Remind Me,\" Nickelback became the poster boys for neo-grunge in 2001. Throughout that year and into the next, the band and its lead singer Chad Kroeger were omnipresent as they peddled their cleaned-up, streamlined amalgam of Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. Those three bands were unpredictable and, in various ways, shunned success when they received it. Nickelback courts it through their audience-pleasing grunge pastiche, which treats the style as just another variation of hard rock. Of course, on the surface grunge was just modern hard rock, but upon further inspection it was an interesting, unruly beast, fueled by genuine passion and angst, which is why each band had a distinct sound and a different way of fleeing from the scene when it all became too much. 2003's The Long Road, the follow-up to their 2001 breakthrough, Silver Side Up, suggests that they really are just heavy-rock hucksters. After all, this is an album that ends with \"See You at the Show,\" the neo-grunge \"We're an American Band\" that invites their audience to come along on the Nickelback bus and party down it. Perhaps a flat-out party song would have been a welcome change of pace, but it, like every other song here, is performed in the band's inimitable style -- loose rhythms, distorted guitars, power harmonies, and topped off by Kroeger's gruff vocals. It's the same sound as Silver Side Up, but it's a little bit more professional and polished, which does have the neat trick of sanding down some of Nickelback's more strident tendencies, leaving behind a sleek album of theatrical angst. So, Nickelback is more palatable here. The set-closer, \"See You at the Show,\" offers a slight change of pace. With a little more time in the studio and a little more time to indulge themselves, Nickelback can now afford to turn out a more polished effort. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/07\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nickelback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752465719469,"sku":"SZIB3A-3QP5-00","price":27.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Nickelback-Long-Road-Vinyl_toKCI.jpg?v=1741191138"},{"product_id":"nickelback-get-rollin-transparent-orange-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Nickelback Get Rollin' (Transparent Orange Vinyl) Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eGet Rollin' (Transparent Orange Vinyl) is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Nickelback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/31\/2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nickelback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46808778473715,"sku":"O9WMCP-DZGE-00","price":27.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/nickelback-get-rollin-transparent-orange-vinyl_PJ7YT.jpg?v=1742073229"}],"url":"https:\/\/thefinestvibes.com\/collections\/nickelback\/in-stock+20-50.oembed","provider":"The Finest Vibes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
