Summary: When I was 12 I loved this album..
Comment: Then I grew up and realized that I don't have to buy music just because MTV or Rolling Stone says it's good. Nirvana sucked and had limited, if any, musical talent. The only member who had any talent was Dave Grohl. This album was totally cut and pasted in the studio to be mass marketed and it shows. Cobain couldn't play the guitar, couldn't sing, and his lyrics were nonsensical whining. Do your ears and your mind a favor and pick up some rock music played by actual musicians.

Summary: There isn't a Single Note, Lyric or Sound that I don't Like on this Album
Comment: When Nirvana came out with "Nevermind" it changed the course of music. The music world was saturated with the 80's hair/metal bands so "Nevermind" turned pop culture to the alternative/punk/pop sound and music hasn't been the same since. Their previous release (which was their debut album) Bleach was garage and sloppy punk sounding while Nevermind is more polished and on the pop/punk side of the fence in the way of the overall sound. Singer Kurt Cobain is a true artist. There is nothing fake, phony, or pretentious about him. What you see is what you get.
Nirvana's first single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" sent the Seattle band from playing in garages to big time arenas almost over-night. Many bands tried to copycat Nirvana's sound, turning the title "Grunge" into an over-saturated sound. Kurt Cobain was such a superb songwriter and with the addition of drummer Dave Grohl, the chemistry makes excellent chops, power chords and songs on "Nevermind". "Come As You Are" is a simple song, yet has an unforgettable bass riff, great guitar chords and excellent prophetic lyrics and "Polly" is a melodic ballad, yet with chilling lyrics. Many of the songs start slow then end with a flurry. There isn't a single note, lyric or sound that I don't like on this album.

Summary: "Never" heard of it..
Comment: I can't say i've ever heard of this band, they must be really unpopular. What the heck is this, is the guy chewing on a peanut butter smothered bologna sandwich during those verses? At least i can understand that hippie song cover, but, good cinco de mayo what has he done to it? Apparently the man called butch vig was smoking left over feta cheese or something, it sounds like a window pane being cleaned. And how about that smells like beer nuts song or whatever it is, that can't be easily marketed, must have been a doosy of a release party. I think there's like two notes in the whole song. I suppose that's all kids need these days to bob their heads to, one for up, two for down. Up, down, up, down, hellow, hellow, (inaudible sandwich chewing), i'm mufasa, it's less flavorous, we're nirvana, end the hat dance, and then he says something about "i'm done flossing". If that guy has dentures, i guess that would make a lot of sense, a lot more then "as an old phlegmery".

Summary: Not bad but no Pearl Jam
Comment: The album that almost beat Pearl Jam's Ten. Nirvana were never that great, but they will never be Pearl jam.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great and sold out
Comment: The music of the nineties has changed forever... The music, the band, the person or the generation X? Who knows? Now, what we've got here is fabulous, entertaining and exhausting. It takes my breathe away! The sound is incredible, the record nothing but perfect. Krist did a great job on this album, the rest of the band is good but Kurt? Kurt sang perfect. He touches you in the heart with his incredible voice. It seems this album can manipulate you. Me personaly, I would do nothing but buy more copies of this album right now considering I already own one. I regret nothing but it wasn't me on the stage performing Nevermind instead of Kurt Cobain. Bleach has grown up a beautiful thing. You all know the rest. It is called Nirvana.

If Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed it were trying very hard to cop its style. It tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward, magnifying and distilling the wounded rage of 15 years of the rock underground into a single impassioned roar. Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like this one; of its 12 songs, roughly 10 are now standards. The record's historical weight can make it hard to hear now with fresh ears, but the monumental urgency of Kurt Cobain's screams is still shocking. --Douglas Wolk
