NICKLEBACK released their seventh album, "Dark Horse" in November of 2008. Even having been released prior to some highly anticipated albums later in the year through 2009, NICKLEBACK has remained in the top 12 as far as sales of the album go. They have a few catchy songs and are played on the radio as much as anyone else when they release a single.
NICKLEBACK made their biggest dint in gaining musical popularity in 2001 when they released their hit single "How you remind me". This song paved the way for them to reach the goals of anyone who has ever desired to play music for keeps.
The band continues to release hit after hit. Their sales skyrocket after a new album or when a new single is released. Money, fame and popularity are never a stranger to this band.
They don't mind letting you know that either.
This album (Dark Horse) is no exception to the bands arrogant tone. They sing abut having and doing it all. They are the "real" rock stars of this decade.
I will put my two -cents in on them as a band... It's another case of bad music being overly publicized. NICKLEBACK does have a few good songs, but overall, they don't even come close to the gods of rock. All their songs sound the same, for the most part at least. They can't seem to write a song that doesn't sound exactly the same as their last single. So my opinion, before any kind of morally conscience decision, is that..... it's just bad music!
Secondly, the bands new album distributes their thoughts of sex, drugs, and yes rock'n roll quite well. Followed up by mild profanities all the way through the album, their thoughts go about as deep as a wishing-well filled with goldfish.
I don't wanna to be labeled as a revolutionary here, but these are the kind of bands that ruined rock!
Don't buy this album, it will be a disappointment. If I were you I would take the ten dollars that you would have spent on this album and go buy stock in bee keeping apparel; in other words, anything you buy instead of this album will end up as a better purchase in the long run.
If you like NICKLEBACK and want an alternative, try..... sorry, I can't think of anyone who sounds exactly the same in every single song they record. Your out of luck.
Really check out Chevelle (This type of Thinking) if you like NICKLEBACK.
