First, let me start off saying i'm a big fan of All The Right Reasons and Dark Horse. So only really take my review you feel the same otherwise you probably won't agree.
Overall, it's good album, but not as good as those listed above, HOWEVER, there are some stunners in the album. Here's a blow by blow account of the album, starting with the BEST (number 1) to what i consider the worst of the album (number 10).
1. Trying Not To Love You
What a an unbelievable ballad, the chorus is goosebumping, teary eyed, powerful. One of the best ballads they have ever written.
2. Lullaby
This is a very close second, almost tied with first, another credible ballad.
3. Don't Let it End
An awesome ballady, happy song, more uptempo with an absolutely great ending, check it out.
4. When We Stand Together
You probably know this song already, nice happy little rocksong.
5. Everything I wanna Do
Good upbeat rock
6. Gotta Get Me Some
Nice chunchy rock song, awesome for headbanging.
7. This Means War
The opening track of the album, could have been a better opener, but this is a good song.
8. Bottoms Up
This is a heavy rock song, but just gets a bit boring after a while, it has a great guitar solo tho.
9. Midnight Queen
Hectic rock song, good but not like something in your mouth or anything.
10. Holding Onto Heaven
The melody on this song just didn't do anything for me
11. Kiss It Goodbye
I wish they kissed this song goodbye.
Overall, highs and lows, still worth buying. Chad does much more guitar solos in this album which is cool.
But yeah, as other reviews have said, don't expect anything different.

What else would you expect from Nickelback? This item is catchy and excellent just like their others. Well worth the money.

And so it was with great expectation I received this latest Nickelback offering and, like Metalheader, I thought both All The Right Reasons and (especially) Dark Horse were terrific. This is not a bad album by any stretch, it still kicks like you'd expect it to and I'm so pleased that Nickelback are still championing 'feel good' party rock with themes based around booze and women, but it's no Dark Horse.
My first surprise was that they had gone back to Joey Moi for producer; while he's no slouch (he's done a great job both here and previously) I thought they'd really found their sound with Mutt Lange; those thunderous drums were stunning. For a band that came out of the grunge era I can understand why some people won't like such a polished sound but I loved it.
With Midnight Queen, Bottoms Up and Kiss It Goodbye there's still plenty of power to chew on and Lullaby is the kind of achingly good ballad the likes of Bon Jovi and Def Leppard used to excel at that it renders When We Stand Together superfluous; although I can see why they kept it.
Don't Ever Let It End continues their very ballsy and to-be-applauded approach of ending albums with a softer, upbeat message (take note Bon Jovi, morale and the end of an album is no bad thing!) which I was very pleased with.
So with so many good points, if you've chosen to read this you may be wondering what's detracting about it? Nothing-it's great. It just feels like a step back from Dark Horse, almost as though this album was recorded first but held back for a couple of years.

I never liked Nickleback before this album. Now I love love love.
Bought this for my mother but my gosh I actually really really love it. The songs have way more edge than old Nickleback. The kind of music you can really drive to.
