Dark Horse is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on November 14, 2008 and a day prior in Europe. The follow-up to their multi-platinum selling All the Right Reasons (2005), was co-produced by the band and Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Robert John "Mutt" Lange, famous for working with such acts as Foreigner, AC/DC, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard. The first single from the album was "Gotta Be Somebody", which was released online for free digital download on September 29, 2008 for a strict 24-hour period. "If Today Was Your Last Day" was the originally planned lead single but was scrapped at the last minute. The track "Something in Your Mouth" became available for download from the United States iTunes Store on October 28, and was released to US rock radio airplay as the second single from the album on December 15. The song became a hit through 2009 in many countries, such as United States,Australia and more.

- Just reviewing curiosity 😐

I feel what haters feel about this album but I'm just asking without caring about what to rate: What is "Something in your mouth supposed to mean?"

- ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Nickleback is my favorite band ever and this is my all time favorite album now!!!!!!

- Nickleback is terrible

Immature lyrics, every song sounds the same. Basically, nickleback is the worst, least talented band in the history of recorded music.

- Best Album!!!

Best album, every song is awesome

- Never that good to begin with

Only one good song, if today were ur last day

- Hey

Soon listen to those songs

- Love them!!!!!

Another great album. They have a very unique sound and sing about real life events.

- My go-too workout music

Great songs, my faves are #1,2 and 9. Really makes me want to “go out tonight, kick out every light, take anything we want, take everything in sight, go until the world stops turnin while we burn it to the ground tonight!”

- Best album ever!

Hands down no doubt about it the best album ever!!

- Great album

Come on people what the hell r u thinking? this is a great album

- just why...

- One of the worst albums I have ever heard.

Pretty much everyone knows that Nickelback is freaking horrible. Seriously, I would rather have my face melted off, Raiders of the Lost Ark style, than listen to even a sample of this, or any other Nickelback album. If you like Nickelback, and likely drive a large SUV or lifted truck, then I feel deeply sorry for you, your loved ones, and any poor soul that might have the misfortune of existing within earshot of you.

- Favorite album

By far my favorite album.

- Number nine and number one

I only like #9 & #1 but you know.... that’s just what I like..:

- Great melodies

One of my favorite bands

- Sick

Sick

- Only 1 song I like

The only song I like is burn it to the ground other than that this albums a dud

- What about remastering It After Your break

After Your Break, Could You Remaster the Silver Side Up With The 40th Anniversary, Dark Horse With 30th Anniversary, Here And Now With 20th Anniversary, No Fixed Address With 20th anniversary, And Feed The Machine with 15th anniversary? I Not Disturbing You To Do It, But I Want You To Do It

- Best band EVER!!!!

Love it soooo much

- Country

Im a country music guy but i love this band.

- Overview

Something in Your Mouth- 4/5 Yeah, it's dirty as can be, but can you hear the instrumentals? Just great and Chad's vocals just make it that much better. Burn it to the Ground- 4.5/5 One of the best on the record. Hard hitting, head banging, great, heavy, rocking song to party to. Gotta be Somebody- 4/5 Another highlight on the record. A catchy pop-rock song that just stays in your head forever. I'd Come For You- 4.5/5 One of my favorites. Love the theme, the sound, and the lyrics. Hits me hard. Next Go Round- 4/5 A heavy hitter, similar to Burn it to the Ground that makes you wanna grab the first thing you see and use it as a microphone to lip synch to. Just to Get High- 3.5/5 Another hard hitter with an impactful message with it. A song for someone who likes meaningful, impactful lyrics. Never Gonna Be Alone- 4.5/5 Similar to I'd Come for You. A great theme, a great sound, and great lyrics. Another favorite of mine. Shakin' Hands- 5/5 In my opinion the best hard hitter on the record. Has a slower tempo with a head banging sound to it. Love it. S.E.X.- 4.5/5 Another hard hitter with a suggestive theme, but the sound makes up for it with catchy riffs and drums. If Today Was Your Last Day- 5/5 In my opinion the best lighter song on the record. Simply amazing. The theme is great, the sound is good and the lyrics are simply motivating. Love it. This Afternoon- 3.5/5 Another song to party to, but with more of a pop sound to it, which is why it is not my favorite.

- Disapointed

Very disapointed in the Direction NickelBack went, greed for money ..Sad sad,

- Keep you dignity

It's the same song!!

- Harambe

I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, "Big Hoss." Everything here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after twenty one years is you don't know WHAT is going to come through that door.

- Who buys this horribleness?

Do yourself a favor and buy Queens greatest hits for the same price. If Queen ain't your thing at least go get an affliction t or a bleached blond permed mullet, you'll appear way less douchy than a nickleback album on your cc statement.

- The band I was raised on

Nicole is the best band they could ever live. I'm tired of seeing bad comments about a band that is truly a legend especially to me. Thank you for all the hard work you put in making great music.

- Best one

This is the best album that nickleback has done.

- Really?

This album is kind of a joke... Most of it is immature junk and is a bit of an embarrassment to the modern rock world... But i'm giving it a 3 star because burn It to the ground and If Today Was Your Last Day

- Missing...

Where is Into the night?

- Best

Nickelback's best album by far.

- Nickelback, Born & Raised

I’ve been listening to Nickelback ever since I was a little kid(I’m only 15 so it hasn’t been that long, but still), so I absolutely love them. Here’s my Dark Horse Faves list: 1»Something In Your Mouth 2»S.E.X. 3»Gotta Be Somebody 4»If Today Was Your Last Day

- Awesome!!

p.s. Haters stop hatin!! This is second in line the best album from nickelback. My opninion.

- Nickelback at their worst

I would have given this 1 1/2 stars if I could because there is only 2 good songs on this album: Just To Get High and If Today Was Your Last Day. The rest of the album has mediocre instrumentals and horrendous lyrics. As a Nickelback fan I can confirm this is their worst album they ever. Chad thinks Hesher is bad but he obviously hasn't listened to this twice.

- STOP

Stop making music Nickleback

- Love your songs

Make another I've been listening to your songs sense I was 2 I'm 11 now

- Best

Good quality best performance

- Ez

Rdsx

- FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!

Well first of all I wanted to say that to all of you haters and critics. Why do you have to come onto the reviews and say negative stuff? Just remember that if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say it at all. So here are my thoughts 💭 for each song. 1. “Something In Your Mouth” 10/10 - A really great song about referring to a female who gets attention from men by her provocative dress and movement. This song also has a great beat and tempo for dancing and rocking out to and did I forget to mention partying as well? 2. “Burn It to the Ground” 10/10 - Another really great song about and for literally burning everything to the ground. 3. “Gotta Be Somebody” 10/10 - A very good song about finding that special someone that you love. 4. “I’d Come for You” 9/10 - A song about how he would help his women no matter what happens. 5. “Next Go Round” 10/10 - A fast, upbeat dancing song about sex but I would love to hear more about it. 6. “Just to Get High” 10/10 - A song about bad things that happened to one of his friends. 7. “Never Gonna Be Alone” 10/10 - A song about how his women or just anyone is never going to be alone no matter what happens. 8. “Shakin’ Hands” - 10/10 - A song that is about a girl who becomes a highly successful prostitute using her body, deception, and sexual skills. 9. “S.E.X.” - 10/10 - Yes it’s about well you know what I am talking about. But it is such a great song with a great beat and a great fast tempo as well and it defines what the TRUE meaning of sex is. 10. “If Today Was Your Last Day” - 10/10 - This is such a great song about what would you do if it was your last day on earth and how you spend and live it. 11. “This Afternoon” - 10/10 - This a very great song about hanging out and having fun spending time with your family and friends or whoever you spend it with this afternoon. So this is a really great album by Nickelback and I LOVE ❤️ this album and most of their albums in general. And I LOVE most classic rock and hard rock music in general and some pop, blues, and country as well. So great job Nickelback and keep on making the best music I have ever seen in my lifetime!!!!!

- Amazing

Great album

- What a great album

This honestly had some great hits...

- I love the songs

The songs were great my ultimate favorite is S.E.X. It rocks & is my type of rock ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

- Love it!

Nickelback is awesome, no matter what people say. Yeah I get that they have some songs that take it a little too far, but most of them are just your good rock songs. My favourites off of this album are If Today Was Your Last Day, Burn It To The Ground, I'd Come For You, Just To Get High, Never Gonna Be Alone, This Afternoon. If Today Was You Last Day is definitely a meaningful song that basically sends the message of 'what would are you going to do with the time you have?' This song means a lot to me and reminds me that there's more to life than what you think. Burn It To The Ground is your party hard and never stop song. It's basically a pump up song says 'go have a blast.' To summarize I'd Come For You and Never Gonna Be Alone, they are heartfelt songs talking about someone you miss, or you wish things would work out between. It's saying that you'd never give up on the person, no matter what happens. Just To Get High is probably one of the saddest songs I own. They basically talk about addiction and knowing someone who went/going through a hard time in their life and hit rock bottom. It seriously made me cry. This Afternoon is one of your laid back songs. Kind of a party song where it talks about being around your best friends and never wanting the best time of your life to end. Thank you for anyone who actually read all that. Sorry, it was kinda long.

- Fan for life

I have been a nickelback fan since I was very young and I will always give it a high rating.

- Never Gonna Be Alone

Talk about a song that should be on their GREATEST HITS!! It's their best ballad ever.

- Low Point here

Nothing really new here on this one... Same old generic formula

- A must Have!

I love Nickelback. This music just makes me wanna crack open a beer and party

- They trash

They are pop music listen to Black Sabbath Kiss Slayer Bemoth Abbath Canible corpse Etc.....

- Incredibly hollow and disappointing

Nickelback was already going downhill with All the Right Reasons (2005), but Dark Horse is the abyss. Chad Kroeger’s vocals are insufferable and he sounds more than ever like a wounded goat, and every song is flagrantly recycled with the same themes: sex, drugs, prostitutes, sex, alcohol… and sex, all of this told in an immature way (« You look much cuter with something in your mouth », « Sex is always the answer/Never a question/‘Cause the answer’s yes ») Musically, this album can be summarized the following way: quavered ballads and faceless hard-rockers. Unfortunately, not even Mutt Lange’s production can save the album from drowning. Creative emptiness.

- LOVE IT!!! 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Nickleback is awesome

Dark Horse Wiki

A dark horse is a previously lesser-known person, team or thing that emerges to prominence in a situation, especially in a competition involving multiple rivals, that is unlikely to succeed but has a fighting chance, unlike the underdog who is expected to lose. The term comes from horse racing and horse betting jargon for any new but promising horse. It has since found usage mostly in other sports, sports betting, and sports journalism and to lesser extent in nascent business environments, such as experimental technology and startup companies.
