Nickelback - All The Right Reasons — 

first of all...this albumn, all the right reasons by nickelback, is very different from their previous albumns.  well, most of the tracks...but, i do love their grundgy new sound.

some of the themes and lyrics lead me to believe that either a) they are being a lot more open about their true lifestyles, or b) they are trying to atract a new fan base.  There are a couple songs about explicit drug use, which i guess is ok to talk about, being that they are rock stars.  also, there are either one or two about explicit sexuality.  younger listeners that were fans of nickelback before this albumns release may want to cover their ears.  i will say that there are two or three songs that stick to the "original" nickelback sound and pattern.  the guitar work has been said to have been not that great, but personally, i think he does a fine job.

either way, i like the new albumn a lot and i would have to give it 3.5 stars.  but, since i had to choose, i went with a full four.  i'd say that if you were a nickelback fan from the beginning, you may be angry with the direction in which their songs and lyrics progressed.  but on another note, new listeners may enjoy this sound and may want to check out some of their older tunes.

thanks for reading!!!
