Silver Side Up (2001)
It’s difficult grading this album as high as I have to, because the songs all have a sort of sameness that can be good if you’re a great band, but if you’re a mediocre-to-average band it’s generally not so good. I can play it in the background without wincing or worrying someone else will hear it. And it does have one song I actually like. Take this advice to heart- if you didn’t like the single, you’ll hate the album. You might not like it much anyways…but I grudgingly must admit it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.
Grade: C+
