The Long Road by Nickelback
The Long Road is an album by Nickelback, released in 2003. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 48 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Someday”, on 22 lists with a best position of #3.
The Long Road, Nickelback's fourth studio album, came out on Roadrunner in 2003, and it's the Hanna, Alberta, band answering the monster success of "How You Remind Me" by turning the amps up. Chad Kroeger produced, in the band's first collaboration with Joey Moi, who had engineered Silver Side Up, and they cut it at Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver. The riffs are meaner, the drums pound with double bass pedals, and it's the last record with Ryan Vikedal behind the kit, alongside Chad on lead vocals and guitar, Ryan Peake on rhythm guitar and Mike Kroeger on bass.
It spun off five singles. "Someday" is the big, brooding power ballad, topping the Canadian chart and reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. "Figured You Out" and "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good" handle the rougher end, all gravel-voiced snarl and chugging guitars.
