Compared to Nickelback, Saving Abel has a lighter touch, so their soft spin on active rock easily worms its way into the subconscious, particularly when they revamp STP licks like the do on "Bloody Sunday." This is Saving Abel's saving grace: they may not rock as hard as their peers, but they have a way with a hook that sets them apart. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
