All the Right Reasons

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Nickelback

Release Date October 03, 2005
The first I heard these tunes were when Nickelback supported Bon Jovi on a concert - completely blew me away. I actually thought the energy and songs almost out done the main show. The album is very energetic from the moment go. Some ballads like Photograph, Far Away and Savin' Me are great and slows the the pace a little, but the vocals are powerful and keeps the listener glued.
The album is great and a superb follow-up to their last album. I really can't wait to see them live, I will recommend you do the same, start buy listening to this album. Awsome.

Hybrid Theory

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Linkin Park

Release Date October 30, 2000
I first heard Linkin Park's `Crawling' on a Saturday morning music show- I had never heard anything like It. I'd never really been into music before, but the angst ridden, thundering chorus of this song really spoke to me. On the strength of the single alone I bought the album and - to my delight - loved it!

Even though the album and band where bourn for an era where short-lived Nu-metal ruled the world, after which many bands failed to move on from the sound which popularized them and subsequently where soon defunct, linkin park have survived and have since built on the solid foundation of Hybrid Theory, pursuing various sounds and becoming one of the only successful bands to meld together rap and metal.

Silver Side Up

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Nickelback

Release Date February 17, 2003
"Silver Side Up" is an impressive rock album full of powerful, heavyish but very catchy rock songs. Melody and power are not always something that are captured together on rock albums but Nickelback have managed it on this to great effect. You are launched into this wonderful world with the gorgeous opening track "Never Again" and the album just does not let up, delivering one storming song after another. The combination of pace, power and enjoyment in a studio album is rare - extremely impressive!!

Rage Against the Machine

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Rage Against The Machine

Release Date May 20, 2002
An all time classic album, often imitated, but never approached let alone surpassed. Zack's vocals are incredibly emotional, and the sheer tightness and funking musicality of the band is staggering (and that comes from a guy whos played in bands for 15 years himself.)

I loved this album to death fifteen years ago. Yet, when im teaching kids today and i put it on for them, it seems just as powerful for them as it was for me back then. Stunning.

Toxicity

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: System Of A Down

Release Date August 28, 2001
Their debut was stunning - there's no denying it. Mixing power, fury and at times comic instrumentation and vocals, it was always going to be a hard album to beat. But System have done it. Toxicity is an amazing album.

For those that dismiss Toxicity as 'too commercial' or 'too mainstream'. To make accessible music that still has the power and strength that nearly all of the tracks on this CD have takes a great deal of skill. How to make music sound not only familiar but also brand apsnking new and still like it has something incredibly important to say is the sign of master songwriters. And Toxicity has all of that in bucketloads.

The melodic pain of singles Chop Suey, Toxicity and Aerials counter the deliciously dark and oddly furious ... Read More:

Believe

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Disturbed

Release Date September 16, 2002
Disturbed's second album following 'The Sickness' was always going to have to be amazing to beat it. 'Believe' isn't as good as their debut, but still ticks all of the correct boxes. Every song is unique because of David Dremain's amazing vocals, and almost every track has great riffs that you can't help but be impressed by. Tracks:

'Prayer': Wow. An amazing track that really shows how unique and just how damn good Disturbed are. A brilliant riff throughout the whole track, and great lyrics aswell. This song will stay in your head for ages and you will be playing it over and over again. One of my favourite songs ever. Best track on the album. 5/5

'Liberate': Another great song with a very nice riff. From the very start it is obviously Disturbed. ... Read More:

Morning View

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Incubus

Release Date July 28, 2003
Undoubtedly, Morning View is Incubus's finest work.
Encompassing a varied range of musical styles from previous efforts, Morning View includes hard hitting, riff filled fury through the likes of "Circles", right through to the powerfully mellowed "11am".

Of the five singles taken from the album are the eternal classics "Wish You Were Here" and "Are You In". Hardly a rocker doesn't know the words and tune to Wish You Were Here, and the refreshingly, jazzily different "Are You In" certainly merits a place on the album. However I can't help but feel that these two songs are only the classics they are because of the majority of the fan base... (I suppose that only makes sense ;))

...but honestly, the sheer power and prowess that comes through the ... Read More:

Reanimation

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Linkin Park

Release Date July 29, 2002
To call this album a 're-mix' of Hybrid theory, would be like saying the Mona Lisa is just 'a painting'. It's a completely successful re-working of a masterpiece and in this day and age, that's an extremely rare thing.

This album is probably my favourite out of all Linkin Park's albums, and I almost feel a little disappointed that the band haven't done similar follow up albums to 'Meteora' and 'Minutes to Midnight'. (But I still am holding on to the hope that they will!).

My favourite tracks have to be Pts. OF Athrty and Krwlng. These tracks give the original songs a complete different sound and feeling to them. A master class in originality, and I know it's been said to death in all the other reviews, but it just shows what a talented bunch the band are. ... Read More:

Devil Without a Cause

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Kid Rock

Release Date June 14, 1999
No other artist could come close to touching this album. Kid mixes so many genres together to make this album tantelizing and unique!. I bought this album a few years ago and to this day its novelty still hasn't worn off. Not only is it special in a way it's compelling in its origionality, but it is also warming to know that this album helped, if not revolutionised rock and rap by itself. This album stands out far beyond his other albums and prokes so many emotions in a wide range of songs. I strongly advise purchasing this album if you have found albums such as cocky, history of Rock or Kid rock or any of his previous albums appealing.
It is an album which is full of heart and soul, and it should go down as one of the all time greats!. YOU'LL LOVE IT!

The State

CD-Charts > Music > Nu Metal
by: Nickelback

Release Date September 02, 2002
First off, The State is the second best album by Nickelback(slightly inferior to Curb). Worthy to say is definitely the best song here, I've tried but find it difficult to find comparisons for this song.
Not Leavin' Yet is great and can be compared to Where do I hide. Cowboy Hat also is a great song musically and lyrically, perhaps the best lyrically. (no comparisons have been found.) Leader of Men is the biggest hit and reminds me a great deal of Nirvana's Come as you are.
There is no one clear comparison for the state though perhaps the best is The Long Road
