Nickelback Album Art Analysis

#1 - "All the Right Reasons"


The main image of the album cover is a long, straight road in a lone, desolate desert leading toward the horizon. This suggests that the albums theme is a about someone's lengthy journey through life alone. The sun appears to be either setting or rising, symbolizing that the journey has either just begun or nearly at it's end. However, the title of the album has little to no significance to the album art. The title "All the Right Reasons" has no connection to a Black car driving into the sunset. 

#2 - "The Long Road"


The main image of the album art is a long highway bridge leading into the background. This of course is the eponymous "Long Road" mentioned in the name of the album. The colors of the sky is primarily dark red, but as it reaches the horizon line it progressively gets lighter. The long road also is heading towards the bright horizon line as well. This could suggest that the overall theme of the album is about a journey of sorts. 

#3 - "Dark Horse"


The colors used in the artwork are primarily Black and Gray. This relates to the name of the album "Dark Horse". The name and the colors suggests that the overall theme of the album will be a lot darker than in previous albums with a more mature outlook. The central image appears to be similar to that of a horse shoe. The connects to the album's name "Dark Horse".
