Top 10 Best Nickelback Albums
Nickelback has been around for a couple of decades now, putting out album after album with that familiar blend of rock, post-grunge, and a little bit of metal edge. From their early breakout hits that grabbed rock fans' attention to their more recent explorations that blend hard rock with polished production, Nickelback's albums each bring something unique, and fans have strong opinions about which ones stand out.
It isn't often that you listen to an album where you like every song. There are only a few bands that I know can do that.
Dark Horse from 2008 is also up there with every song being very good. The 2001 Silver Side Up album with How You Remind Me made them very popular. The 2011 Here And Now is a decent album, mainly because of Lullaby. The 2014 No Fixed Address has Miss You, while the other songs on the album are decent. I've tried to listen to a few songs on the 2017 Feed The Machine album, but nothing too special in my opinion.
This album by Nickelback is really overhated, but in my opinion, it doesn't sound that bad. Honestly, I am glad that All The Right Reasons is #1 and Dark Horse is #2 because those albums are actually better than many "rock" bands that consistently pump out garbage (I'm looking at you, Theory of a Deadman).
The songs are unique too. For example, the music video for "Rockstar," which became a mainstream hit in 2007, has a lot of guest appearances, from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top to The Naked Cowboy (a street performer in New York City) to Kid Rock. It's honestly a breath of fresh air to see guest stars in a music video.
Basically, "Rockstar" is the best song on this album, in my opinion. I rate it a 10/10.
"Photograph" is another good song. It's actually about the lead singer Chad Kroeger's memories and how they made him feel good while reminiscing about those good old days. It's a beautiful song that deserves more love instead of hate. I rate it a 9.5/10.
As for the rest of the album, it's really overhated on the outside, but on the inside, it's a nice rock album by one of the best rock bands of all time (in my opinion). I rate this whole album a 9.5/10.

To be honest with all you hardcore Nickelback fans, this band isn't really that good. But I will admit that Dark Horse is a good album. Something In Your Mouth, Burn It To The Ground, Gotta Be Somebody, This Afternoon, and my favorite song, If Today Was Your Last Day, are good. The rest of the album sucks. I mean, it is better than Silver Side Up, which is only number 3 because of the song How You Remind Me, which is a great song.
The best all-around album they've got. Like others say, there are better songs scattered amongst other albums, but this is the best all-around. We're voting for the best album, not the best song!

This was like All The Right Reasons and Dark Horse having a baby, which is good. And then there was the tour.
Lullaby and When We Stand Together are the only ones I listen to. Lullaby and How You Remind Me are both my favorites.
My favorite Nickelback album. It rocks. It should be much higher.

I don't hate everything that was released after All the Right Reasons, but it definitely wasn't as good. Silver Side Up was the peak of Nickelback's career, no doubt about it. It has the perfect mix of raw hard rock (e.g., Woke Up This Morning, Hangnail) and heartfelt ballads (e.g., Too Bad, How You Remind Me). I feel like it's definitely Nickelback's best album.
Woke Up This Morning is so damn underrated! If it was released as a single, maybe you guys would take more notice of it!
This is obviously the best album. Second place is a tie between Dark Horse and All The Right Reasons.

8. No Fixed Address - I'm not putting this here because it's new. I just didn't like it. Nickelback is turning into pop now.
7. Curb - This was very underrated, in my opinion. I really like it. People need to give this more credit.
6. The State - Like Curb, it's underrated. They evolved a little bit but not in an SSU style.
5. Dark Horse - It's okay but had some outstanding tracks.
4. Here and Now - Bottoms Up and Lullaby really take the cake.
3. All The Right Reasons - A fan favorite and a very well-made album. I think every new Nickelback fan should start with this.
2. The Long Road - The first Nickelback album I bought with my own money. I really love it. It's probably their most underrated album of the 2000s.
1. Silver Side Up - My dad had this, and I loved it. All 10 songs are good, in my opinion, and kick ass.

I don't like Nickelback. I wanted to know where all the hate comes from, so I listened to all of their stuff. And as someone who usually likes Melodic Death Metal, this definitely was a challenge. But I have to say, objectively speaking, most of their music is actually not terrible, but very generic on pretty much every album since All the Right Reasons. But the lyrics! They are terrible most of the time!
Feed the Machine is kind of an exception, and I'd say this is a decent hard rock album. I enjoy the music most of the time, I don't cringe too much because of the lyrics, and the last song (The Betrayal Act I) is absolutely on point.


I bought this album at a very low price, practically without any risk. Of course, I knew the Santana song beforehand, but this album made me a massive Nickelback fan.
My favorite Nickelback album so far. I love the new approach they took by toning down the hard rock elements. Keep up the good work, Nickelback!
This album is awesome! She Keeps Me Up is cool, and Edge of a Revolution is awesome!

This was the only album by them I didn't own until today. It turns out it's their best. It's rough and grungy like Curb, but it sounds more thought-out and varied, with more power and a more gripping overall sound than any other Nickelback album. It's not as polished as their later work, but more so than their debut album. I know Nirvana fans will hate me for this, but it feels like Nickelback's Nevermind. It has that certain pop earworm appeal but still sounds dirty and rough in a grunge kind of way, not yet as big and blockbuster-ish as what comes after this one, much like Nirvana's biggest hit album. Full of energy and a certain middle-finger-to-the-world attitude, and very catchy and immediately appealing.

This new album, I feel, has the potential to have 4-6 singles. It's a really enjoyable album for me.
