AllAmericanBoy's Ratings and Reviews

 Nickelback - Dark Horse
AllAmericanBoy's Rating: 6.5/10

Dark Horse is a really good album! It took me a few listens to think that however. The first track "Something in your mouth" is great from beginning to end, heavy and sleazy, you can't go wrong. Track 2 "Burn it to the ground" probably has one of the heaviest endings I have heard in a while. #3 "Gotta be Somebody" was an obvious choice for the first single, it's typical but good. The 4th track "I'd come for you" is just too obvious and gets skipped frequently, the lyric about a soldier turned me off as it seemed like a cheap thing to do. 5 "Next go round" is pure sex it's that simple, descent song but again typical. Number 6 "Just to get high" is a great song, as the title suggests it's about drug use, clever lyrics at times, a favorite. 7th track "Never gonna be alone" is almost guaranteed to be a single, but for me it seems like an easy money maker. You can hear where this song is going from the first note. Typical Nickleback. #8 "Shakin Hands" has a great feel and great lyrics. Good story although not the prettiest story. "She's makin six figures working three days a week." - enough said. The 9th track S.E.X. is about ... you guessed it ... Sex! Nice beat and really good bass line. Track 10 "If Today was your last day" took me a couple times to really like it. Good idea, good lyrics, almost certain to be a hit. 11 "This Afternoon" is a fun song, about getting high, drunk, and hanging with your friends. Although I like it, it sounds like they are trying to repeat the song "Rock Star" what I mean by that is I can see it being there last single on the album.
Bottom line is this: This is Nickelback, no denying it.The sound for the most part is the same as previous songs. You won't be asking who it is. But it is a good listen all the way through.

 Warrant - Born Again
AllAmericanBoy's Rating: 4/10

Musically it is wonderful, vocaly it is horrible. Hell CA. is the best song on here and that's not saying a whole lot. A lot of the lyrics are bland and meaningless unlike Jani Lanes lyrics. (See Dog Eat Dog) After a few listens I'm over it. But again the music is great if only they had a better singer.

 Y&T - Unearthed vol. 1
AllAmericanBoy's Rating: 9/10

Rated high more so for the Y&T faithful. It's always interesting to hear songs that didn't make the cut or songs that should have made the cut.
I can pick at least a half a dozen songs that should have been on an album. A band with this much talent should have never been overlooked for so long.
