Curb by Nickelback (CD, Jun-2002, Roadrunner Records USA)

This is the first time I've taken the opportunity to disagree in a review with a fellow reviewer. If I were you I wouldn't listen to plickplick's review advice because it seems like he only cares for the later "more mainstream" offerings by the band Nickelback. I, instead of him find that a complete genesis of a band is simply a must to a serious collector or fan of a band. It may be true that "All The Right Reasons" may be more polished as a production, but musically "Curb" is raw and intense. Like most debut releases the band in question is 'hungry' and is looking to make its mark musically. If you wanna buy this because you expect it to be more like the mid 2000's and on then yes, you'll be disappointed, but if you want to buy this to explore the where, how and why this band came into being then your right on the money and won't be disappointed in "Curb". My only other, best analogy would be stated this way: Would you actually compare the raw, powerful, basic electric-blues statement that Led Zeppelin made with their remake of classic old-school blues standards on their debut release to say Physical Graffiti? No you wouldn't! So don't make the same mistake with Nickelback or you'll lose out on the chance to hear and enjoy something more primal and raw than your used to hearing from this band.

This has got to be their best album by far. I hear a harder edge to their music in this album. Definately will recommend this to any harcore Nickelback fan.

Great CD to OWN! All song are up to speed & woderfully master.
I purchase this CD because of the pricing & the artist stlylish
