NICKLEBACK / THE STATE

Sonically Nickleback play the line between the Everclear and Creed, both very successful multi million selling artists in the States and both have had only little success here. The lighter side of the Nu Metal song's like "Leader Of Men" need plenty of air play (I did my bit, it was my single of the week on HFM), but that's not to say that they don't have power cause they do and this is demonstrated very well by "Old Enough" and On Last Run. Standout tracks include the aforementioned tracks and Diggin' It, Hold Out Your Hand where the vocalist comes across as a cross between Kurt Cobain and Kirk Hammitt.
