 Jason Wade manages to never be banal, even though the main theme always revolves around feelings, love’s sufferings, solitude, and restlessness.

 An album to listen to in the car or on a train journey, preferably in winter when it’s raining or snowing outside, the right atmosphere for an intense album with a strong intimate charge.

Lifehouse's Smoke & Mirrors offers a solid and emotive rock experience with strong vocals and deep lyrics.

Some experimental attempts fall short, but overall, it remains engaging and perfect for reflective listening. Discover Lifehouse’s Smoke & Mirrors and immerse yourself in heartfelt rock tunes and stirring melodies today!

 "Dark Horse" is a highly listenable album but still overly predictable.

 If all the tracks on this album were at the same level as the splendid "Just To Get High," there would really be something to enjoy.

Nickelback's Dark Horse is a well-produced but somewhat predictable rock album that falls short of their previous successes. Although featuring strong guitar solos and vocal maturity, many tracks lack lasting impact. Highlights include 'I'd Come For You' and heavier riffs on 'Just To Get High,' but commercial ballads and pop elements dilute the album's overall strength. The band shows growth, but fans may expect more innovation in future works. Discover the strengths and weaknesses of Nickelback's Dark Horse—listen and decide if it lives up to the band's legacy!

 A great debut for Daughtry, an intense work that never loses its tone; all the tracks could be potential singles.

 Ville Valo returns to fully exploit his baritone abilities and the atmosphere becomes dark, gloomy, and at times ghostly.
