Product Description

To borrow from Chad Kroeger on the Spider-Man soundtrack, when it comes to the fortunes of his band Nickelback, he's not going to stand there and wait. Neither, evidently, is his label, management, or anybody else likely to turn a buck while the Vancouver-based band is hot. Nickelback's rise--at once maddening and thoroughly unstoppable--is by now the stuff of Billboard legend. True, they shamelessly cop from Creed--themselves stylistic thieves of the highest order--but as they say, a million people can't be wrong. Originally released in Canada in '96 and now making its domestic debut in the U.S. along with a Canadian re-release, Curb is exactly what you'd expect from the band that brought you the ubiquitous "How You Remind Me," except on a tighter budget. Tortured vocals dominate the foreground while cymbals crash and metallic guitars scream in the balance. Kroeger is hardly alone in his belief that the only way to convey emotion is to holler himself hoarse (see also Creed, Our Lady Peace et al.). Yet as grating as Kroeger's vocals are (oh, and they are), you've got to give Nickelback credit for taking a single, simple, and utterly dog-eared idea--paint-by-numbers hard rock with angsty vocals about thankless chicks--and squeezing out every last bit of juice. Come back Pearl Jam, all is forgiven. --Kim Hughes

A little Bland...,
By "captainstinky" (Barberton OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curb (Audio CD)
I hated grunge and as an older music fan I hated any new music because there seemed to be no originality at all in music, but hey there still isn't and that ain't good nor bad. It seems as if Nickleback has one thing on their side and that is a loyal fan base. How many bands in this era of music have actually released four albums and are still well liked? Not many. Anyways, Curb is an album that sounds like four hundred other bands but lyrically they are miles above anyone else. If given a choice of actually naming newer bands that I respect I would pick Disturbed and Nickleback on lyrical content only. This cd is far better than the mess of Silver side up which was horribly written and generic in its musical mediocrity. Chad's voice stands out well, and songs like the title track and my personal favorite Where bristle with an energy that sadly seems lacking in any other new release from the millions of crappy nu-metal bands that seem destined to release one album and fade into obscurity. I urge everyone to pick this up and to all of those nu metal bashing hate mongers relax and buy something from the eighties or seventies and learn to accept that musical integrity is a thing of the past and just enjoy the products that the labels sell us. It was a hard lesson for me to learn but I'm okay with it.

CURB--------your enthusiasm !,
By PROG TROGG "PROGNOTRON" (kitchener, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curb (Audio CD)
It would be just fine if Chadwick and Co. followed this road into oblivion where the road - end leads to the edge of the "FLAT" concept of the world.They're stuck in a MEDIEVAL equivalent of rock music---DARK AGE ROCK . Bring back the musical DUCKING STOOL to put an end to this pathetic group of so called musicians' output of digitized disposable bits and bytes.These arrogant fellows should thank their lucky stars there are few INQUISITORS OF MUSIC currently around to steer poor unsuspecting music consumers away from their repetitive formula of noise.Do yourself a favour and "CURB" your wallet.
