Dark Horse

If the mix sounds even more boisterously radio-friendly than 2005\'s multi-platinum *All The Right Reasons*, that\'s because Nickelback hired Mutt Lange (most noted for his work with AC/DC, Def Leppard, and Bryan Adams) to co-produce *Dark Horse*. \"Burn It To The Ground\" is a heavy, post-grunge rocker with pounding rhythms, sinister lyrics, and serpentine melodies. And of course the band returns to the kinds of ballads that made *All The Right Reasons* so successful. The emotional \"Gotta Be Somebody\" would do well on a soundtrack to any one of those melodramatic television shows about attractive high school kids.
