Dark Horse by Nickelback

Pros: Catchy, hard rock with some fun themes
Cons: A couple too many sappy ballads; some unoriginal lyrics; sex theme is overdone

Nickelback may not be the greatest band in the world, but damn these guys can make some fun rock.  It's the kind of stuff that sounds good while you're drinking beer and shooting pool in you local bar.  After the enormous success of their ...

Pros: The band's darker image is showing more, really good catchy songs.
Cons: Two tracks that are below the standards that the album has put out.

Nickelback is one of my all-time favorite rock bands. Ever since they bursted out with their mega-hit "How You Remind Me" in 2001, they've had me and with their latest release "Dark Horse", I'm here to stay. It's amazing how you watch bands grow right ...

Pros: Every track
Cons: None

I don't often do music reviews unless it's a soundtrack, but I was thinking of some of my favorite albums today and thought, "Why not?" for a few of them.Though a recent release, Nickelback's Dark Horse has indeed become a favorite of ...

Pros: A slight shift in sound, the same solid music-making.
Cons: Somewhat over-produced, loses a little bit of the Nickelback feel. 

I get a lot of flak at work because I'm crazy for Nickelback.  There are a lot of musicians at work, most of whom have bands and most of whom play (and live) the local club scene in Chicago.  Their focus is, not surprisingly, on what's going on ...

Pros: catchy tunes, songs to rock out to as well as chill to
Cons: some unoriginal ideas, typical drugs and sex theme overdone, not much a variety

My boyfriend bought me this album, Dark Horse, as we are both fans of Nickelback. After listening to these songs multiple times each, I think I have been able to form a decent opinion of it. It is not a bad album, I would say it's mediocre. It's ...

Pros: True  Nickelback and a fun, little bit (well , maybe alot) raunchy, true rocking album.
Cons: none

I love this album period.  I am pretty much a hard core 80's hair metal / rock n roller girl- you know Bon Jovi (my holy grail band) Poison, Motley crue, Slaughter, Kixx, Skid row, AC/DC, Def Leppard. I haven't really ...

Pros: Highly varied
Cons: Ballads are off-putting

"Dark Horse" is the sixth album from the alternative rock band from Canda, Nickelback. This 2008 relase, came after the great success which they accomplished from the initial, and re-reease of "All the Right Reasons", which came out in 2005. Despite ...

Pros: Pushes the limits, catchy music, guitar is phenomenal, all around good CD.
Cons: Explicit, offensive to some, sex is reffered to quite often.

Nickelback is one of my all time favorite bands, and this CD is just another reason why. Dark Horse is an exciting new CD and Nickelback truly shows their skills and many talents. The theme of the CD in general is centered on sex making this and edgy and ...

Pros: A few rocking tunes
Cons: The slower songs are kind of boring

This latest album from Nickelback plays a lot like their other albums in that about half the songs rock and the other half are slow, and it all gets old fairly quick. From the start, I found myself skipping past certain songs, but there are still a few gems here. I think the sound is a little over-engineered for my tastes.
