What sounds like advertisement for Star Wars here also applies to Nickelback, when their label Roadrunner Records decided to publish the first CD album in length. "Curb" was the second album of the band. the first was called "Hesher", but included only seven tracks and is today nowhere more available. When "Silver Side Up" and "Curb" sounds in succession, you can clearly see the difference. One hears out immediately that the band was still no obligation and simply could play brilliant tracks. When the album was recorded in 1996, the band members were still poor, at best, medium-sized businesses - so we had no idea of the wealth. So, the band had the production cost (only $ 5000) from Chad's stepfather borrow. At that time the band from Chad (guitar), Mike (bass), Ryan Peake (guitar) and Chad's cousin Brandon was (drumms). This left for "Curb" the band and was replaced by Ryan Vikedal. At that time, the band sounded a bit more to Metallica. Today, their style is more reminiscent of Creed. Back then they were playing incomparable. Each song sounds different and awesome. True pearls are "Fly" (their first unofficial single), "Pusher" and the incomparable "I Do not Have". Conclusion: No album (except Hesher) is so far removed from the mainstream as Curb and need to know each of behaptet Nickelback also know this disc.
