To be a true fan of a certain band or singer, I think that you have to like two consecutive albums. The true test of my Nickelback fanness happened on November 18. Because it's finally here. After the two long years since I became a fan when the single "Far Away" came out, the new Nickelback CD I've been waiting for is finally out. I haven't bought it yet, although it's been a day since November 18. I'm planning on giving it to myself this weekend as an early Thanksgiving gift. I can't wait until Christmas to get it. So even though I haven't bought it, I'm going to go ahead and review it based on iTunes samples and Youtube.
1. Something In Your Mouth: This song is disgusting. But it's okay if you don't listen to the words and ignore the chorus. The rest of the song is actually okay as long as you kind of tune the words out. Other than that it's incredibly gross but not terrible.
2. Burn it to the Ground: This is my favorite rock song on the album. It's awesome. I really like the guitar beat in the background and the chorus is contagious.
3. Gotta Be Somebody: Love this song, it definately makes the top 3. It is a great first single and from the beginning to the end it's great. The lyrics are awesome, they will appeal to a lot of people, and I think it is going to be a hit. Even the haters sometimes admit this song is okay. It will also make a good running song.
4. I'd Come for You: This is a great song. Second best on this album in my opinion. Good lyrics, good music, it has everything. It starts off great without the drums in a more acoustic feel. It's another one of those power ballads that Nickelback rocks at so I think this will also be a hit.
5. Next Go Round: So basically the entire song is terrible except the chorus which is still not the best. It gets slightly better towards the end, but this song is really bad. I expected better.
6. Just to Get High: I like most of this song especially the guitar solo except for when Chad does this weird voice thing. It's just too weird and doesn't sound good. The rest of the song is pretty good.
7. Never Gonna Be Alone: I absolutely love this song. It's one of the greatest songs ever. I loved it in the first two seconds, the beginning is perfect. I have listened to this song over and over and I still love every part, even though it's stuck in my head. It's so fitting that the greatest song of this album is number seven. It's like the "Far Away" (my favorite song ever) of this album. If this is not a huge hit, than I don't know what will be. Somebody mentioned this would be a good song for weddings and I've decided that at my wedding this song will play because it's beautiful. This song is Nickelback.
8. Shakin' Hands: This song is terrible. There's no good part of this song. The lyrics are immature and gross, the music isn't that great, they are bringing up Disney princesses in this terrible song, it's not good. This might be the first and last time I listen to this song.
9. S.E.X.: It's not as bad as the one before it, but it's not good. Once again with the lyrics, they are a little bit graphic but beyond that, it's not a bad song. It has a nice beat but the lyrics have that shallow teenage boy thing going on again. I think Nickelback is having trouble growing up.
10. If Today Was Your Last Day: I like this song, it's pretty good. I like the lyrics, they're inspirational, and it sounds cool. It's one of their power ballads, which I love so this is one of my favorites.
11. This Afternoon: It's a little too country but it's not bad. The chorus is my favorite part but I don't particulary like the beginning. I like more of a rock sound, but I think it's okay as an ending to the album. The people talking in the background gets annoying too.
Overall, I think this CD was better than "All the Right Reasons". Although Dark Horse has more bad songs than the last one, it also has more fantastic songs. People who were fans of beginning Nickelback may be a little disappointed, because there are more ballads on this CD and the Nickelback haters will still not be happy. I am happy with this album though and I think most people will be.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3
One of my downfalls is High School Musical. I don't care if people don't like it or think it's dumb. I don't care if it's main audience is 10 year olds (which is so not true). It's a fantastic movie and it makes you believe that anything can come true. High School Musical 2 was good, but I didn't like it as much as the first. It just didn't feel the same. But I've been super excited for High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Probably more excited than I should've been but the previews and commercials just made it look so good. Plus the music videos/previews they've shown on Disney Channel made it look fantastic.
So today I got to see High School Musical 3 and it was amazing. The people weren't all 10 year olds there either. I wore Wildcat colors (it isn't that creepy) to the movie and wore a white sweatshirt so I could do the part in "Now or Never" that they do in the music video. They didn't do that in the movie though which was a little disappointing. It really was a great movie. We've come a long way from High School Musical 1, that's for sure.
This movie was really a love story. It made you believe in fairytales, that there really is that perfect guy and that everything would work out. All the songs in this movie were pretty good, my favorite might be "Can I Have This Dance". The part in the movie is just beautiful.
I also think that Troy is the cutest in this movie. I think that the third one is the funniest. There are some parts where you just have to laugh, like when they are in the tree house or when Rocket Man shows up. "The Boys are Back" song is pretty cool too, I liked the little kids that looked like Troy and Chad, they were cute. Then there are parts which you wish would happen to you, like when Troy shows up in the tree to dance with Gabriella for the prom or when they dance on the roof in the greenhouse. The opening scene was a little dramatic but I think it fit the movie. I also liked how they went farther into Troy and Chad's friendship and how Troy wasn't the cool strong guy or a jerk, but that he was vulnerable. There were parts that I almost started crying at too. When Gabriella says she's not coming back, when Chad is playing in the gym and Troy comes in, and of course at the end, because it was the end of the last High School Musical movie ever. Just knowing that this was the first and last time I would see High School Musical 3 (and Troy) on the big screen, I tried to soak every little thing in, I wanted to remember it all. It fit that this one was on the big screen in the theaters, it was so cool. And who wouldn't want to see Troy on the big screen.
If you come into the movie with the preconcieved notion that it will be bad then you probably will just make fun of the movie. True fans will love it and it might just win over some undecideds. From the mesmerized look on my younger sister's face, who had been waiting for this day for a long time and actually counting down the days, I knew that most will love the movie. I absolutely loved it but you just can't help it. This might even be the best one of the trilogy. It certainly was a fantastic movie.
