Rating: - Curb: A great Cd, especially if you collect Nickelback!
Here is a review of all the songs on Curb:1: Little Friend (9/10)- A great song with a nice steady bassline which does start to get annoying, but the occasional long choruses and the guitar solo makes up for it. 2: Pusher (9/10)- This song's lyrics, for one, are great, but I dislike the lack of lyrics in the chorus. This song, in my opinion, has one of the best endings ever. 3: Detangler (8/10)- Also has great lyrics, but it's not exactly what you would call catchy as hell. Has a few great phrases such as 'didn't need to waste your time, but thanks for wasting mine.' 4. Curb (7/10)- The song this CD was named for. Well, to me, there was a bit to much hype about this one. It's original, as it shoots from slow to fast and back in seconds, but the chorus just blends in with other Nickelback songs. 5. Where? (10/10)- This is my favorite song on the CD! If you can ignore the bad singing in the verses, I think you will come to love this song to. Sounds very cool, especially the full chorus! 6. Falls Back On (7/10)- Great song, very catchy, but one problem... the melodies are the smae thing over and over again except for the 'I'm really up on this' part. So, if you like those loop songs, this is all yours. 7. Sea Groove (6/10)- My least favorite song on the CD. I don't like how the guitar part matches the chorus exactly, especially since it's not that interesting in the first place. 8. Fly (10/10)- Well, I like Where? more, but this is right up there with my favorites! It's so catchy and they even made a 3 word chorus sound cool! Also, it has kind of a punk twist to it! 9. Just Four (7/10) I can't turn my back on a song from Silver Side Up, but it's fun to listen to this song and the Just For in a row and see just how different they are! 10. Left (8/10) The guitar riffs get a bit old, but the choruses and verses pimp it all out equally, so this becomes a great song. Another of my favorites. 11. Window Shopper (9/10)- Kind of an annoying guitar part, but once again, it is all made up for by the rest of the song. Sounds a bit like 'Fell in Love With a Girl' by the White Stripes, doesn't it? 12. I Don't Have (8/10) Pimpin song, I like how all of the lyrics follow a pattern, but it's kinda hard to tell verses and choruses apart.
Rating:  - Great Cd
I am a big fan of Nickelback. I like this cd more than The State, but Silver Side Up is better. Great cd, full of great songs. If you like Chad, then this is some of his finest work. I would also like to mention how much I like the label on the CD, its great.
Rating:  - It's a RE-RELEASE.
"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."
