The reviews are starting to come in for the new album by Nickelback titled Dark Horse that hits stores tomorrow.
Rolling Stone Mag says, “What’s a poor rock band to do when your last album sold 8 million copies at a time when nobody buys CDs anymore? You can hire a guy who produced AC/DC, Def Leppard and Shania Twain albums that sold even more.
New York Times says, “For the first time Nickelback is produced by Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Shania Twain), who has nudged from the band a tougher sound more suited to its inner louse. But he couldn’t fully jolt the band out of its comfort zone. Sprinkled throughout this album are vintage Nickelback songs, the brooding slow burners that have defined the band.
The Boston Herald says, “The good news? It’s the Canadian band’s least-boring record yet. Between the stupid lyrics and obnoxious glossy ’80s production, there are actually hooks and legit riffs here.
