|---|---|
All the Right Reasons is the fifth studio album by the Canadian Rock band Nickelback, released on October 4, 2005. It's title is meant to be the opposite of the song "Fight For All The Wrong Reasons", on this album. It is the first album without the original drummer Ryan Vikedal and the first to feature his replacement, Daniel Adair. All lyrics were written by Chad Kroeger and all the music is by Nickelback, except for the bonus track "We Will Rock You".
The albums lyrical themes are a direct contrast to the band's previous albums. On most of their previous albums the lyrics were about having a bad relationship with the opposite sex, but on this album it is about apologizing and making up with the opposite sex.
