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

By	Greg "gkw1982" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

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

By	D.L.C (Eugene, OR, USA) - See all my reviews

"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."

5.0 out of 5 stars In total agreement, September 25, 2003

By	Lori Robson "Robbsong" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Curb is great, but their work(s) only get better with time, work and age. There is no better than these guys, but if you like Curb, you will love The State, Silver Side Up, and The Long Road. And if you can get it, Hesher, is their classic beginning to this fantastic band and their legacy.
