Mutt Lange decides to give Nickelback a production caught somewhere between the two extremes of AC/DC and Def Leppard, pumping up some muscle on Nickelback's heaviest rockers and adding some color to their power ballads, suggesting some heretofore verboten suggestions of modernity in the form of electronic rhythms, even taking it to the extreme of adding drum loops to the surefire crossover hit 'Gotta Be Somebody.' Nickelback do manage to shed their leathery rock skin a couple of times, first with an arena-rocking 'Burn It to the Ground' and then echoing Toby Keith's 'Let's Talk About Us' on the white-boy rap pre-chorus for 'Something in Your Mouth,' but these are mere glimpses of something unpredictable Dark Horse was constructed entirely from the group's standard templates of bleating power ballads and dulled hard rock. Of the two, the music is far less offensive, particularly on Dark Horse, where they work with the legendary producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, the sonic architect behind Back in Black and Pyromania, two of hard rock's towering monuments.

Nickelback are a gnarled, vulgar band reveling in their ignorance of the very notion of taste, lacking either the smarts or savvy to wallow in bad taste so they just get ugly, knocking out knuckle-dragging riffs that seem rarefied in comparison to their thick, boneheaded words. Nickelback are not known for their insight, but Chad Kroeger's caterwauling claim that 'we got no class, no taste' on 'Burn It to the Ground,' the second song on their sixth album, Dark Horse, is a slice of perceptive, precise self-examination.
