Whan an awesome cd!!!!!! January 6, 2009
Jeff Fuell (Las Vegas, NV)
I just received this cd in the mail today and listened to it while I was at the gym. This is a great cd! Really good! I first heard about Nickelback years ago but, for some reason, never really got into them. After listening to sound bites from all the other albums here on Amazon, I have to say that this is their best one yet, and I know why - it was produced by John "Mutt" Lange, a guy responssible for the success of a lot of other bands I admire like AC/DC, Def Leppard and Foreigner. I am not a fan of most modern rock bands because most of them sound the same and it is all pretty forgettable. This album sounds like something from the 80's, back when metal ruled the earth. It is not "hair metal." It is real rock, the kind of rock that is crunching with power and has a good beat. I usually listen to the power metal bands out of Europe like Helloween, Iron Savior, Primal Fear, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Brainstorm, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, etc., and that is mainly because American music has really gone into the toilet, mainly starting about fifteen years ago and progressively getting worse until we are where we are today. This cd is definitely a standout!
 I wanted to give it zero stars January 5, 2009

First of all, if you listen to and like this band your musical taste is appalling. Pure garbage - musically and lyrically. I don't even have to listen to the record. The bands I listen to CRUSH this band with one note.
 Peaked.... January 4, 2009
Jaker00 (Bryan)
Simply put, I don't like this album.. Unfortunately the band peaked with their last album and Dark Horse is more of the same.. You can hear elements of "Photograph" in many of the songs on this CD.. It's obvious the record company has, like many before, pushed this band into producing mainstream rifts and what sells records over producing the band's native sound. Alot of folks seem to like this album based on the reviews and that's good however I just can't see it.. I think the band has peaked with their last album and this one has more mainstream, over-produced tracks than the last one.. It happens to almost every band eventually and is due primarily to the record companies who push the artist to produce more content which causes the content to suffer in quality. Nickelback is no exception. They would do themselves a great deed to find another record company ASAP, or form their own company and sell tracks online. As a huge Nickelback fan, I'm very disappointed in this CD and wish I hadn't paid full price for it.
 No Surprise! December 31, 2008

If you like Nickelback, then you need to get this album. Every song on this album is great. Buy it, no regret.
I just can't stop listening (loving) to it.

A few months ago I started playing the song "Gotta Be Somebody" and a friend of mine came up and asked me what it was because it sounded great! While that song blew me away, the rest of the CD doesn't quite do that. If you're a Nickelback fan, definitely check out this album. For the rest of you, this is one of those albums that you'll either love it or you'll hate it. There is no in between.
This album is definitely on the dirty side (come on just look at the track listing!) It's also a great hard rock album. Sure there are a few mainstream songs like we're used to from All the Right Reasons. If you want songs like from the last album, you can get Gotta Be Somebody, I'd Come for You, Never Gonna Be Alone, and If Today Was Your Last Day. Other than that I would suggest checking out the band Theory of a Deadman. They sound a lot like Nickelback and are more mainstream nowadays. My personal favorite track "This Afternoon" is close but not quite like those others I listed above.
I would highly recommend listening to the album in its entirety online before you actually buy it. I realize their last album sold an unbelievable amount of copies (with almost every song on it hitting the radio at some point). Even if you loved their last album, if you're not a devoted Nickelback fan, listen online first. Otherwise feel free to buy it!
