3.0 out of 5 stars Nickelback's First Album Is No Slouch, But Not Their Best, March 16, 2003

Just after Nickelback released such great albums as "The State" (1999) and "Silver Side Up" (2001), we here in the U.S. finally got a chance to own their first album from 1996, entitled "Curb". You'd think after 5 years, a band who has such a knack for writing fabulous songs would have changed their style a bit. Not in their case...."Curb" still has the same kind of catchy hard-rock grooves that you would hear on their other 2 albums. That really isn't a bad thing though, I mean, more great Nickelback songs, nothing wrong with that! Some of the tunes that stood out to me were "Little Friend", "Detangler" and "Falls Back On" amongst others. Remember the song "Just For" from the "Silver Side Up" album? Well, they have an earlier version of it on here, which isn't as good as the more recent version, but it's still cool. This album, as good as it is, proves to me that Nickelback is getting better as they go. I mean, "The State" was awesome, "Silver Side Up" was even better. This album is probably their weakest effort, but they WERE just getting started after all. It's ok though, just because the album doesn't quite measure up to the 2 more recent ones, doesn't mean it's no good. I still would highly recommnend picking it up if you have the other albums. It's Nickelback doing what they do best....ROCK!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a RE-RELEASE., July 9, 2002

"Curb," contrary to belief, is not a new album. Nickelback re-released its FIRST album. the album that started it all. "Curb" was initially self released in 1996 in Canada.

To be burtally honest, the album, as it it should for a new group, sounds like unpolished demos, and their many one word titles reflect that fact as well. While several songs have more potential than they seem, most are simply rugged demos.

I wondered how Nickelback released a album so soon after "silver side up," so I researched before I set my opinion in the proverabal "stone."

4.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning for Nickelback, October 7, 2004

This album was the band's introduction to the big time and they did not disappoint with their tracks of Pusher, Where? and Sea Groove becoming popular listening songs on radio station and most requested songs in early 2002 when this CD was in fact released. 'Curb' is a unique beginning for Nickelback where the fan/listener first met the integral sound and rythmns of this group. Just For and I Don't Have are also good songs.

Give this album a chance, like me it takes a few goes on the stereo before this album truly blends in with the listener.
