DylanD.Nov 20, 2008I originally gave it an 8, but because of the criminal underrating this album received, I'll give it a ten. Easily the groups best work so far. I'm loving the fact that they tried something different.

ChrisL.Nov 25, 2008Nickleback delivers yet again. The disk is exactly what you expect. The first two songs are in your face and blow your doors off. It is sometimes comicle sometimes touching and always fun. These guys rock!!!

MikkTApr 3, 2009Perfect album for fans, radiolisteners, and for critics to get their teeth into.

AshleyC.Dec 25, 2008I think this is the best album Nickelback has put out. There's some different stuff on there and "I'd Come for You" is probably the sweetest song I've ever heard & I will have it at my wedding. "Just to Get High" is probably the strongest lyrically & musicaly. The message it portrays brought me to tears and could be eye opening to some of Nickelback's listeners.

KayceJ.Dec 12, 2008Awesome driving music. If you are looking for lovey dovey songs like Far Away, this is not for you. Harder rock, better guitar, sexier lyrics. I love it.

Sep 20, 2010An album full of fun and relatability. It entertains right from the beginning, mixing up uplifting songs then toning back down to emotional expressions.

Nov 21, 2011nickleback are down and dirty with dark horse from loving when there's something in your mouth to hanging out this afternoon and everything in between easily one of there greatest albums

Jun 12, 2012Nickelback's new album, Dark Horse, is arguably one of their best yet. It houses over 10 tremendously good songs with purpose and with reason. The songs are all in a beautiful tempo and tone and the music sends a message, it is great if you are not feeling good, it cheers you up. Nickelback have always made music from their heart, and this is no different.

AlexN.Mar 19, 2009I believe myself that this is one of Nickelback's greatest albums yet. It may have what you guys say recycled music but its still great and has some amazing songs.. I myself do not hear any recycled music in this album just like i don't when I heard a different album that a so called professional critic said was recycled junk.

ScottM.Nov 20, 2008This is just as good as All the Right Reasons. If you like Nickelback, you'll like the album. If you don't like Nickelback, you won't like the album, it's that simple. For fans of the band this is what they want.

MorganEJan 27, 2009What is wrong with the "professional" critics? Nickelback is not like your precious Radiohead! Nickelback is for us "normal" folk. They give us songs about hope, love, sex, and having faith in something that you dummies can't see right in front of your face. Mutt Lang did these guys justice on this album and you all can just bite it!

MichaelC.Dec 14, 2008One of their best. Not quite as good as Silver Side Up but much better than All The Right Reasons.

RonB.Dec 12, 2008I liked it, but it does have almost predictable rythm and lyrics at times so for that I gave it a 9. But I really am enjoying listening to it. I did notice some repetitiveness that may get more annoying the more I listen to it. But like all CD's I will end up with a handful of gems that I listen to all the time. Good stuf.

Mar 7, 2011This is in my opinion this is one of Nickelback's best CD yet, while they still have some lame tracks, it will still hold your attention if your into the band.

Mar 24, 2013Nickelback sure showed they had what it takes to create a fantastic record. Tracks like "Gotta Be Somebody," "This Afternoon," "If Today Was Your Last Day" were all stand out tracks that made 2008 one of my favorite years in music.
-
Jan 17, 2019The cold sad tones of the North as Chad Kroeger would say. I'd say it just shows what they can do, and i like it a lot. It goes in some new directions compared to All the Right Reasons, and for the better. Listened to it just 500 times, and still loving it. i give it a 9/10.

elbootsNov 30, 2008Not a masterpiece, but surely a great album to put on while on the road or.. simply during doing some house cleanups. way to go Nickelback, proud to be canadian!

StephanieS.Nov 24, 2008I think the album is pretty good. Sure, it's different from all the right reasons but it's not BADDD... I love it, except for all the raunchy songs. However, I really think Nickleback should stick to ballads. They're raunchy songs sound really forced.

SamH.Dec 3, 2008I think as NYT puts it the band does move a little away from their comfort zone, but I do enjoy the album, and Kroeger's lack of self gratification.

Dec 4, 2016If you're like me and had never really paid Nickelback much attention, I highly recommend you give this album a try as a starting point. It's an unashamed, loud and proud rock record. Mutt Lange worked his magic and helped Nickelback create a proper hard rock album. It makes no apologies for it's simplicity, and that's what makes it so great.
-
May 31, 2012This is a proper rock and roll album. No over-production, just pure, powerful rock. From the tongue in cheek sex songs, the meaningful ballads and the hard rock speaker blowing songs this album is sure to wake you up time and time again.
-
charlieJan 11, 2009Its a bit cruel of some ppl 2 say that the new album is total shit,cuz it defiently have some worthy singles to listen 2,but as a huge fan of nickelback i must confess that their new style is a bit unexpectable.

MikeWNov 21, 2008Nice to see them get away from all Ballads.

Dec 23, 2012meh, this album isnt as good as all the right reasons but its still pretty good. burn it to the ground is my favourite song, and if today was your last today is cool too
Awards & Rankings
-
The band's Beavis- like embrace of rock & roll debauchery is a sort of marvel of low art.
-
Lange keeps things rolling--and to his credit, Chad Kroeger gratifyingly comes off as more of a regular guy than a rock star.
-
The hilarious, parodic single 'Rockstar' excepted, Nickelback's music reaffirms every sex-and-stupidity cliche hard rock can offer.
