---to the nickelback haters---please respect that this is something I am interested in. If you have a problem with them, just please move on. I'm not looking to start another -insert popular band here- war about how they suck so bad. Thanks! |
Nickelback have definitely a great hard rock sound in their albums and the production quality is just great!
I love how they kept the true mesa boogie tone characteristics unchanged and still made it sound great.
But if you are in love with the wall-of-sound effect, let me recommend some other stuff you should be listening to, to analyse their mix:
Linkin Park (All except the last one which sounds like doodoo)
Chevelle (specially Wonder What's Next)
Saliva (anything)
Limp Bizkit (Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish)
P.O.D. (Satellite, Payable On Death)
-Anything by Ben Grosse and/or Tom/Chris Lord-Alge (Alter Bridge, Fuel, Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin)
Theres some really great hard rock stuff out there!
That list is basically what i use for A-B reference when I'm doing hard rock wall of sounds.
