“Gotta Be Somebody”, the first single off their new album “Dark Horse” is has already taken off. Nickelback has done it again by producing what is sure to be another winning song to the fans! The song is more main stream, but seems to fit with what the general public demands of music these days. The lyrics are cleverly matched along side consistently good guitar work. This album will no doubt be Nickelback’s next big hit! Nickelback is one of those bands, you either LOVE them or you HATE them. The choice is yours!
