Nickelback, Dark Horse Review

Overall Rating

Good songs! Nickelback is a very melodic rock band, and this album is full of great hooks and strong melodies. That's what their fans want, and that's what the band delivers. (And that's why I don't understand all the Nickelback haters. What's wrong with giving people what they want??) There are also a couple of great hard rockers that are centered around killer guitar riffs. It's a little over-polished in some spots my opinion. I like it better when the music is a bit more raw. There are some of Def Leppard style vocal harmonies and polishing, no doubt due to Mutt. I'd rather hear Chad and the boys just belt it out without all the Pro-Tools stuff. Other than that I think this album kicks ass. Like I said, great album. A great follow up to All The Right Reasons. Keep up the good work Nickelback!!!
