Dark Horse Music Review

Dark Horse - 3.5 out of 5 stars

Yes, Nickelback fans, your favorite rock band is back three years after releasing All The Right Reasons which received multiplatinum status and well deserved praise from critics and fans. While the previous album gave a more sensitive streak of tracks such as “Photograph”, “Far Away”, and “If Everyone Cared”, Dark Horse strongly maintains their hard sounding reputation with tracks such as “Something in Your Mouth”, “Burn It to the Ground”, and “Next Go Round”. In addition to several other “post-grunge” tracks, there always has to be the ballads to tie everything together and make this the album that you always have playing. Perhaps the most publicized single played by the radio would have to be “Gotta Be Somebody” which actually brings the tone down mid album and sets you up again for more anthems to grunge rock. If the singles on the radio don’t get your attention try looking up more tracks. Dark Horse is very diverse in the song selections and can very much surprise you if the radio has not already. There is something on this album for everyone. The only negative point that can be made on this album is the fact that the selection of songs to be played on the radio could have been better. Otherwise, Nickelback has come out with another winner sure to gain some amazing recognition.
