But the quieter pieces have it in them. No loveless ballads, but beautiful melodies, good guitar work and the magnificent voice of Chad Kroeger.
Although I also love the old disks. Silver Side Up convinces with simple, more straightforward rock with hard hitting tracks like "Never Again". But Nickelback has evolved, in terms of songs and sound. What was she doing at that time already unique, they have perfected.
However, the guitar kligen quite polished this time around. The distortion is indeed all the way in there, still on the predecessor, All the Right Reasons, the guitars were even rougher, more natural. I hope that Nickelback not tends to ground guitar sound, because no rough edges, they run the risk that their albums sound sometime overproduced. Sure, for the honest sound with live character are AC / DC charge. But real rock may still have a few quiet corners.
Nevertheless, Dark Horse is a brilliant album with no failures. Every song a hit. In addition to Black Ice by AC / DC current in continuous use in my system!
