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\n\nProduct Description\n\nCurb is Nickelback's first album; self-produced and self-released in Canada, it is now available in the U.S. for the time. Fear not this is not a sub-par four track recording; the band pulled out all stop's when they put this album together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 016861844028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0016861844028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 1980623\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47631091400963,"sku":"P1-CEE7-P6HK","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/91Eilffs7OL.jpg?v=1768485508","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/curb","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
