Breakthrough Clip Art Verdicts On Nickelback's First Two Albums?

Verdicts on Nickelback's first two albums? - breakthrough clip art

I spent three Nickelback albums, starting with his breakthrough Silver Side Up, I do not know the songs from the first two - Curb and state. I listened to clips on iTunes, but you do not really hear very well. They sound a bit like Pearl Jam in them, I would say, not the rest of his music. They are worth?
