Played this to death back in the day. Still stands up now. Definitely an album of two halves as well.
Muito bom.
Ja het is een goed album met goede nummers, maar van mij hoeft het niet de legendarische status te hebben die het heeft gekregen.
Favorite Song: Smells Like Teen Spirit Least Favorite: Endless/Nameless Not my favorite album, but hard not to give it a 4 considering its 4 mega hits. I don't love the sound and I'm not a Nirvana fan, but it is still worthy of a 4 in my opinion. Hard to rate it fairly because this is the first album I'm reviewing, but we'll see how this ages as I listen to more. I have a feeling it will be above average in terms of the albums available to review on this website so that is why I ultimately gave it a 4.
Interesting that this would come up on here so early, and well timed as my opinion on it has changed quite a lot in recent months. Always thought it was pretty overrated, but after numerous recent listens i've started to really come around to it. It's incredibly well produced, well written, and some of the deep cuts on the album have started to shine through a little. I still think the first half outshines the second with it's huge hits, but I have a lot more respect for the album now than I once did.
Listened already
The first half of this seminal album is flawless but I found the second half a little bit dull to be honest. Its very difficult for a millennial like me to objectively review a record and band which has influenced so much of the music that would come after, so much of the music I would listen to and grow to love. I had to add an additional star to this review purely for that.
The hits are amazing anthems, the others are a bit rough
# 41 : Whoop Whoop! Finally something good. LOL. Breed
Ok, it's a good album for the kind of music it is. I think I'm just bored of the music since it was on such heavy rotation (and still is). It's very well produced
Classic
Good ass rock album.
Good
Some great tracks. Some total noise.
Yes! Especially after listening to the Nico record! Classic! With only a few average songs, this is a great record.
It's a classic album filled with iconic songs. For whatever reason, Nirvana has never really clicked with me though. I understand a lot of their appeal, but I don't fully GET it.
4.5 drit bra utenom siste sangen
4/5 - Easy to listen to, high energy. The non-singles didn’t really stand out. I’d have liked a slower song/more emotional or vulnerable sounding or lyrics maybe somewhere in the middle. Overall a killer album.
Kind of top heavy in my opinion but definitely a classic anyway
noice. a trip down memory lane. this album was with me during my most rebellious teenage years. 9/10.
Good album
Klassiska hits men jag tycker ändå inte hela plattan håller fullt ut.
3rd listen. I feel like I should say something about this album since it’s so important, but there’s not much I can say. I definitely have liked it more on repeated listens, though the repetition still bothers me.
Never liked this album in high school, insulted it greatly tbh. But I listened to it after year after watching Joker and loved it. Listening to it again on this list and loved it even more. Think I mostly didn’t like how I’d heard so many of the songs repeated on the radio. But in the album as a whole, perfection.
Very overplayed album but still one of the best of the 90s with a lot of influence on artists after it. 4.5/5 for me, it's a comfort album I return to a few times each year Highlights: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium, Territorial Pissing
Ég fékk algerlega nóg af þessari plötu á sínum tíma, en eftir laaaaanga pásu verður að segjast að hún er helvíti góð. Fer í of mikil læti þegar líður á (ég er að horfa á þig Endless, nameless), en heilt yfir flott stöff.
Un disco que es una estampa y surgió como la marca registrada de un nuevo género. Las ideas son claras, desde la letra al sonido, la produccion, los deliveries, todo tiene una dirección. El gran inconveniente de este disco es la poca variabilidad sonora y rítmica, cosa que sucede con el album de los Ramones por ejemplo. Entiendo que parece una idiotez, pero es un disco que para ser tratado como un discazo requiere de una sobreescucha, para así familiarizarse con el sonido. El disco en si es un 6, pero por lo que trae a la mesa en los demas aspectos llega al 7, igualmente, el magnum opus de la banda es el unplugged de mtv. Se mezclan, ritmos y musicalidad que uno identifica que pertencen al mismo género, pero tiene el balance perfecto y demuestra lo realmente explotable que es el grunge.
Now this is music good old classic rock
A lot of good songs on here. I've always liked this album
I loved this album. I was so pleasantly surprised by this as I hadn’t heard anything outside of their singles before.
Album #6 First time listening to a full grunge album (believe it or not) and what a good start. You got your heavy power chord driven bangers like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Lithium” while also having more mellow and melodic tracks like “Polly” and “Something in the Way”. My favorite track would have to be “Come As You Are” which starts on this simple but addicting guitar riff, but builds up the intensity onto the second half of the track and introduces the power chords.
For once a decent album to review that has drawn so much from the previous punk scene and then went on, as a standalone statement of musical work to inspire and give direction to so many follow-on groups. It was very much a short lived career for the inspirational Curt Cobain, but what a brilliant album he left as a legacy! Having read Dave Grohl's book last year, it was a real raw narration of the slum tours, the dramas, the drugs, and the pure inspired passion these guys had to create music, drawing on so many of their idols like Iggy Pop. And there again... had we not had Nirvana... would we have ever got the explosive sound from the Foo Fighters.
As the kids say - this slaps! Was an album I listened to when my music tastes were changing and I was exploring rock. Songs are memorable and nostalgic. Much preferred to In Utero (which I had earlier in the week).
first impressions: ofc i assumed I'd listened to this album before, but i honestly didn't remember some of the songs. it feels a little disjointed but in a way that makes the despondance and anger of some of the tracks more palatable. ofc this feels to me like the classic PNW grunge sound at its essense. after listening through: easy 4 post-reading reviews/wiki: haven't done so, don't really plan to. this band's history leads to so many weird true crime wormholes that are just...not great. relisten?: added "In Bloom" to my 100 favorite all-time songs (2023 edition) playlist; probably won't listen through again. I get it.
7,5/10
C,est bon nirvana, meilleur que ce que j eme rappelais et je n'avais jamais vraiment écouté l'album au complet donc ca ma un peu réconcillier. 4.5
I’m not the absolute biggest fan of his voice nor am I a radical person who either absolutely hates this hand or claims they’re the most amazing to ever exist. I think that this album is very influential and important to music, and that’s what is impressive. I also am a fan of the songs I know.
Yep, classic Nirvana. Classic little penis album cover. Standouts: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come as You Are, Lithium, In Bloom, Poly, Drain You, Something in the Way Rating: 4.5/5
An absolute classic. While it may not be their best work, it is undeniable that Nirvana presented themselves as a force to be reckoned with on this album. A bit too polished compared to their earlier (and later) stuff, but that’s ok.
good and created a genre but not something I would replay alot
Awoooo
The first half of the album is great. I really enjoyed it. The second half the album does drop off some. The last song needs to be skipped. It gets into screaming music which is completely unnecessary. It is certainly better than a 4 but not a 5.
On the one hand, this is a very iconic and genre defining album, on the other hand, that genre happens to be Grunge. Which is fine, but I never particularly warmed-up to it and I'm not buying the "It's Nirvana, so it must be great" - argument. The album is not bad by any means, just extremely overrated. I'll give it 3 for the music and .5 for it's importance. 3.5/5
Great album
Something about this album makes me want to dress all in black and beat up poor people in dark alleyways
Fantastisch album gewoonweg
An absolute classic. Great sound, lots of anger, yet a pleasure to listen to. If it didn't have Breed, Territorial Pissings and Endless,Nameless on the album then it might've been a 5/5.
I believe the hype. These man were going crazy on this one
What more can be said about this, looses it a bit in the middle but starts and ends really strong
Buen disco, mucho tema conocido. No me gusta como está armado el disco igual. Smells primero por ser el single pierde poder, y Something debería terminar el disco
This is one of those famous albums that I was exactly in the right age group to become a fan of. For some reason though this album, and Nirvana in general, never clicked with me the same way as other albums or bands from the Grunge era. Listening to it today, I totally get the impact that it had and why so many people love it but it isn’t one that I’m likely to play again anytime soon. I still think it’s worth at least a 3.5 which I’ll round up to a 4 because it is a good album. It’s just not my thing.
smells like teen spirit is iconic. in bloom is very happy and nice
Nirvana to klasyk na tyle wielki, że aż unikałam słuchania całych płyt tego zespołu jako coś aż zbyt oklepanego (nie wiem czy wiecie o co mi chodzi, tak, raczej głupie podejście) chociaż znałam wcześniej i lubiłam sporo pojedynczych piosenek, głównie z telewizji muzycznych z dzieciństwa. Nie ma co się oszukiwać gitary i perkusja są zajebiste, Kurt jęczy i wrzeszczy, ale ma piękną barwę głosu i te jęki mi się podobają. Album przede wszystkim ma dużo ożywczej energii pomieszanej z rozdzierającym serce smutkiem (Something in the way tutaj widzie prym w łamaniu serduszka). Ogólnie trzeba mieć odpowiedni nastrój żeby tego słuchać bo jest to dobijająca muzyka według mnie, ale jest to na swój sposób przyjemne dobicie. Jedynie Endless, Nameless to już dla mnie za dużo. Odkryta Perełka, której wcześniej nie znałam to Stay Away.
Classic!
KNOWS NOT WHAT IT MEANS WHEN I SAYYYYYYYY In bloom is Nirvana's best song. Meet me at the ok corral if you wanna fight. GOTTA FIND A WAY, A BETTER WAY WHEN I CANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAJFAEJGJSDJGJJJJJAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Where does spermatogenesis occur? In the seminiferous tubules ^^That was meant to be a flashcard but I spaced out and put it here, the content feels appropriate considering the album cover though It bangs Let me tell y'all a story, a doe eyed boy sits at home in the winter, a ps2 in front of hi- OW WTF I just bit my lip and I'm bleeding... anyway a ps2 in front of him and a brother to boot The little lad watch as his elder kinsman shredded the gnar on shaun palmer's snowboarding pro 2 This foundational moment led the young lad to take up snowboarding, even making a playlist to listen to as he eats shit on the slopes that is reminiscent of the game's soundtrack. At least the boy thought. See, upon finally discovering what the game was from his memories, the boy looked at the soundtrack to see what was on it. To his shock, Nirvana was not anywhere to be seen on the game's set list. Confusion set in, the boy couldn't believe his- Wow my mouth is really bleeding damn his memories could so easily be mistaken... what else had the boy, now a man, misremembered?
This album is so hit or miss, thankfully it's mostly full of hits though. I either loved the songs or absolutely hated them. Anything ear-piercing I can't get behind.
Je dois dire que l'album "Nevermind" de Nirvana est de très bonne facture. Les riffs de guitare de Kurt Cobain et la batterie puissante de Dave Grohl ont créé une véritable révolution dans l'industrie musicale. Les morceaux "Smells Like Teen Spirit" et "Come as You Are" sont des classiques qui ont marqué toute une génération. Cependant, une note discordante se fait entendre à partir du milieu de l'album. Le professeur de guitare Mathis rejoint le groupe en plein milieu de l'enregistrement et ne cessera de donner des conseils à Kurt sur sa façon de tenir sa guitare et sa position. Ces interventions à répétition agaceront Kurt, comme en témoignent les phrases que l'on peut entendre en fond sur les morceaux "Lithium" et "Something in the way": "Déplie ton majeur quand tu fais des barrés, Kurt" et "Plus souple, le poignet...". On peut entendre Cobain s'impatienter. Sur le dernier morceau, les membres du groupe mettront Mathis à la porte à coups de pied aux fesses. Bien que cela n'ait pas affecté la qualité de l'album, il est dommage que Mathis ait essayé de s'imposer dans un projet qui n'était pas le sien. Malgré tout, "Nevermind" reste un album incontournable pour tous les fans de grunge et plus généralement de rock.
90s banger
Classic. Way over played but for a reason.
- haha funny album cover - 8/10 - in utero better - swimming baby, not drowning
just great. There's a lot of great songs other than the popular ones.
.
100
I really enjoy this record!! Incredibly influential album. I wish a few of the songs strayed more away from the power chord mess that the rest of the album represents. (and one that doesn’t suck like Polly)
Great album and five stars in its day
Infectious energy and grit with solid melodic songwriting - maybe gets a tad repetitive
Nevermind is the second album by American rock band Nirvana and is certified diamond in the US. It was the band's first release on a major label, and as a result features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than previous works. Award winning Nevermind became an unexpected critical and commercial success, topping charts around the world, being one of the best-selling albums of all time, dubbed as the "voice of a generation", reintroduced punk & grunge music to the mainstream, and was inducted to the National Recording Registry in 2004 for significant historical value. The smash hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - that could be argued as the track that carried the album- was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and is still a popular song to date. This may be the first time I've listened to this album in its entirety in one sitting and damn it was a good time. I have to admit that some of the tracks are forgettable and could even be from another punk or alt rock artist, but the unforgettable tracks are the ones that give this album meaning. "Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come as You Are, & Something In the Way" are blockbuster hits in my opinion that make this album almost perfect. If this album was filled with hits like those, than there'd be no question that this is the best album of all time. Instead, this is one of the greatest albums, but perhaps not the best. I rarely rate things as 5/5 perfect - because in my mind "perfection" is basically unobtainable - but this album was so close to being rated 5 stars by me. This staple of the sound of the 90's is a must-listen for any music fans.
First time i've fully listened to this and i really enjoyed it. Prefer that live album though, cracker that one.
Pretty fire album. What a crazy outro.
Klassiskt album. Lite cringy energi, dock något som inte direkt kommer från musiken utan rykte och fans:
Back half keeps it from 5-stars, but still great stuff.
P much all hits.
Klassík. Kunni ekki að meta hana þegar hún kom út, fékk hana í jólagjöf frá Gunnari bróður 1991 og skilaði henni. Hversu heimskur var ég. Fengi 5 stjörnur ef ekki væri fyrir Endless, Nameless.
The first bunch of songs are great and 5-star worthy, but it gets weaker in the second half.
A good, but not great album with some standout tracks. More important for its effect on rock music than for its content.
Nirvanas a band I put off listening to because people be sucking their dicks way too hard which is a shame cause this is genuinely a great band. Great mixture of hits and songs that could never touch the radio and that one song from that Batman movie unfortunately
A classic! One of my favorite albums! There are many very good moments and some alright moments. Overall a very great album!
I've never listened to this album straight through and doing so was a great experience. I wish a world existed where could have seen what Kurt could have made while still having Foo Fighters. I suppose I should be happy with what Kurt gave us and his influence is still present in so many good bands today.
While there were a couple songs I found unenjoyable (Territorial Pissings no thank you) I really like their sound as a whole. It’s dark and eerie but pleasant, and the simplicity of the instrumentation mixed with the complexity of the sound is pretty damn impressive.
I've never liked grunge, but Nirvana does it so well. The drums are fantastic, many good songs, a couple I don't care for.
If I had rated this when it was released, it would have been an easy 5 stars. It's hard to know if excessive playing has diminished the value, but it's at a 3.5.
The first song is an anthem, of course: I like the soft/loud thing which I guess they got from the Pixies and the clever turns of phrase. The next two tracks are catchy. The more straight ahead punk tracks I'm not fond of but they're better than most straight ahead punk. "On a Plain" and "Drain You" are basically saying, we've run out of ideas so we'll regurgitate some of the chords from our hits. I read a story about the young man who sued them for using his baby image on the cover, but I can't remember how it ends.
classic for a reason. crazy that "smells like teen spirit" is the opener. I found Kurt's vocals way more interesting this go-around than I used to. also amazing drumming from Dave.
Good album, a main album from grunge, however ending of the album could be better
Something in the way, come as you are, Polly. Overall like this one better than In Utero but I hate the last song with a passion.
Territorial pissings On a plain In bloom Drain you 7/10
It’s very hard for me personally to evaluate this album. I remember as a teenager being completely fixated on the grunge movement of the 90s, the way that it flipped popular music on its head and the morbidly emblematic demise of its figurehead Kurt Cobain. And yet when I played Nevermind for the first time, I distinctly remember feeling quite underwhelmed. It was far from a bad album - tracks like “In Bloom” were the epitome of grunge to me - but it certainly didn’t sound quite as revolutionary as the circumstances around its release would have me believe. I would argue that while all canonically ordained classics eventually lose a bit of their edge (partly through over-exposure, partly via the march of time), this album fairs a lot worse on that front than even the likes of DSOTM (of which I had a similar opinion). One thing that hasn’t been blunted in the last 30 years however is the great songwriting present on this album. My personal favourites have always been “Breed”, “Lounge Act” and “On a Plain”, but who can ignore the misfit anthem of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” or the brooding “Come as you Are”. Cobain’s lyrical sentiments are sincere (as is his painfully angst-ridden voice) if not especially subtle - no doubt he was a troubled guy but it’s almost as if he’s just stringing together a bunch of platitudes about depression or isolation. Butch Vig’s polarising production choices are frankly sublime to my ear, no doubt polishing Nirvana’s rougher edges but also accentuating the gutteral emotion underpinning these tracks - the overdubbed vocals do render the choruses a bit samey though. On the whole, this is an important album with some fantastic tracks and even if listening to it today might not suggest as much, it’s deservedly regarded very highly.
The first song is an ignition. First half is just gas and speeding on through. Then the turns towards the end get a little wobbly but it straightens out and finishes strong. Just like a crazy joyride with a bunch of kids with nothing to lose. Fun to be in that car. Scary to be in that car. Hell of a memory to have.
Learned I'd really only ever heard the A side of the album... back half songs were pretty new to me.
Amazing
Loved this album since the first time I heard it. Needed a little more grunge. 4/5
classic
09/05/2022 Listened to this one on 09/06, and the truth is that this album is good, but after having In Utero given to me for my first album ever on this website, I have officially declared the latter as the superior nirvana album. — Yesterday was my last day in SA. I’m driving back to Houston atm. I had a beautiful long weekend. Thinking about the future is scary, but also hopeful.
Great album
A classic that I forgot I like
Swag
generally a pretty neat album, fav is Lithium least fav is the last song in the album, kinda soured the whole album a tad bit
What a rip-roaring start to an album! Really strong opening half but trails away a bit after Lithium. This would have been three stars, but Smells Like Teen Spirit gets it an extra star
Top 3 songs: 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit 2. In Bloom 3. Lithium First half is full of bangers second half is not nearly as good.
Haven’t listened to this record in a long time, but I remember liking it a lot when I was younger. My favorite on Nevermind is “Something in the Way.” A lot of these songs still hold up — “In Bloom,” “Come As You Are,” “Lithium.” Nirvana is an important and influential band because they brought grunge to the mainstream. Kurt Cobain was particularly adamant about crediting his influences and supporting contemporary grunge bands, which is the part of his legacy that I admire the most. The songs are great, the band had an amazing chemistry, and their sound influenced much to come. I’m giving this album a 4 to account for my personal tastes because it’s no longer a 5 for me (compared to when I was younger and idolized Cobain).
I wasn’t able to listen to the whole album but it started with some classic tracks that deserved 4*. Hopefully it continued in that vein !!
7/23/2022 - ALBUM #177 Today's Album: "Nevermind" by Nirvana - This is an album that any music fan should already be familiar with, but in case anyone missed it, this was the largest album in grunge rock and stands one of the most acclaimed albums of the 90s. The opening track, Smells Like Teen Spirit, gets unrelenting praise for being an anthem of it's generation, and I have to say it is hard to compete with the raw punk energy in this track. The track In Bloom follows as another really stellar track and demonstrates this wall of sound that they seem to achieve so easily. The way the band is able to fill up sound as just a guitar, drum set, and bass is unbelievable. Many of the tracks on this album are defined by Kurt Kobain’s unbelievable songwriting chops; there are simply no choruses on this album that miss. However, the instrumental performances really elevate things as well. The quirky Kurt Kobain guitar solos (See In Bloom, Breed Solos), the disco-like drum beats from Dave Grohl, and the super-melodic and hypnotising basslines from Krist Novoselic (See the beginning of Come As You Are, Lithium) make Nirvana such a complete package sonically. There really isn’t much to improve upon as a rock band when you have a kickass and impressive sound, insightful lyricism, and some of the best chorus writing of the 90s. The track Something In The Way is a standout track as well for showing off the dark mental issues Kurt was covering in his lyricism and stands as a really chilling song to listen to all these years later. Obviously, the tragic end of the band draws both positive and negative attention towards the band’s work and this album in particular, but as we will see in the upcoming review of their next album, In Utero, the band were absolutely not out of steam at this point and had a lot more distance to cover before Kurt Kobain’s suicide. Overall, this is an absolute staple of 90s grunge and just rock as a genre in general. Give this one a listen if you haven’t; it can be a bit abrasive at first, but it is an album that rewards patience for sure. Highlights: Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are, Breed, Lithium, Polly, Territorial Pissings, Drain You, Lounge Act, Stay Away, On A Plain, Something In The Way, “Endless, Nameless” Score: 8.75/10 THE 90s grunge album. Energetic, dark, thoughtful, beautiful.
I can certainly see why it has the stature it does. Not something that really aligns with my tastes but too good to rate lower I think.
Somehow I hadn't ever listened to this whole album? They had a greater range than I'd expected from the singles.
unbelievably good start soo close to 5 for me
p656. 1991. 4 stars. Point deducted for suspect lyrics, filler tracks on the 2nd half of the album, and for ripping off "More Than A Feeling" by Boston. Apart from that, this is pretty good. "Here we are now/Entertain us/A mulatto/An albino/A mosquito/My libido/Yeah"
This is the sort of album that makes me feel like I'm sitting half buzzed in a loud smokey basement living room with a bunch of slightly older kids I don't know it well. Sometimes I'm into that.
Total sellouts. Blame Courtney Love.
Best Song: Smells Like Teen Spirit. Brilliant kickoff to the album. It truly sounds like angst personified. This song in particular might be the high water mark for grunge as a genre. Worst Song: Stay Away. This is the bad side of angst that makes me cringe. Although I like the instrumentation in this track (especially the driving drums), the lyrical choice to continuously scream "stay away" has the energy of a teenager whose mom has just reminded them that they need to clean their room. Overall: This has to be one of the most front-heavy albums I've ever seen. The first half is full of hit after hit, only for the album to tip off a ledge somewhere near the midpoint into fairly forgettable grunge tracks.
A truly classic album if I ever heard one. Very front loaded and honestly a bit uneven in the second half. And because of that it's not exactly one of my favourites in the alternative rock landscape.
Back from in the day (when my primary exposure was massive overplay of Teen Spirit on MTV) I discounted Nirvana and grunge in general and Cobain in particular, and later sort of shrugged at his death. Another rock and roll drug addict unable to negotiate fame. Later I came around on some grunge era acts like Screaming Trees and Mudhoney and after listening to Cobain’s Unplugged set, decided I’d been wrong there too. There is a lot of strong stuff on this, though there is also some definite filler, and the protracted noise jam at the end of the album is a tired trope I’d love to see retired. Still an iconic entry in its genre and time.
I think this is their best album, as do most I suppose. There are some all-time classics on this one. But I still can't find way to give Nirvana the cred others give them. I don't think they started grunge thought they for sure were the most popular. I think they were just poppy enough for radio air play which meant all the others got the back seat. I also find many of their songs to be nearly indiscernible from others. That said, this is still a pretty great album.
Minne meg om når eg va 10 år
Smells like teen spirit is overplayed but love the rest of the album
Genre: Grunge 4/5 A 90s rock classic, Nevermind is Nirvana at its best: loud and abrasive, yet angsty and thoughtful. Kurt Cobain and co. take their material and put it into an alt-punk blender and hit frappe. This album, famous for its naked baby cover and its massive hit Smells Like Teen Spirit, is much more than what makes it so popular. It's a collection of well-arranged, well-written, and well-played songs that play out like a live performance would, with peaks and valleys in all the right places. While the hard hitters on this album (Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Drain You) are absolute jam sandwiches, Nirvana also does a decent job of slowing it down and providing us with some of 90s rock's best ballads (Polly, Something in the Way). The other tracks on this album, as well, are great little musical nuggets that any rock fan should be able to pick up and enjoy, as well as recognize. The performances on this are really a wonderful thing as well, with all 3 of these fellas really playing their hearts out. This album is a classic listen that has truly stood the test of time, and won't go away for a while.
goody good
Riktigt bra
I shit on Nirvana a lot because I don't think they really "invented" Grunge or "revolutionized" music in the 90s. The fact is that there were plenty of other (and better) Grunge bands - they just got famous early. Still - they are the simplest, most raw, most garage-bandy Grunge band. And they made a lot of kids want to pick up guitars and start creating music. And - I like most of their songs. They are a good band that everyone should hear - just one of many, though. They aren't gods. :)
tänka sig att jag gillade albumet folk sagt åt mig att jag skulle gilla..
Kul! Vidhåller att Nirvana är det tråkigaste av de fyra stora grungebanden, men å andra sidan älskar jag grunge så
Legendary and simple all at the same time. Groundbreaking with only a few chords
Mimo że teksty nie mają większego przesłania i tylko Kurt wie o co mu chodziło, to brzmienie utworów jest ponadczasowe i niesamowicie wpada do głowy. Praktycznie każdy kawałek na płycie zasługuje na nazwanie go hitem.
I'm not as in love with Nirvana as the majority of people seem to be. This is clearly a landmark album though and I can't really fault it.
Nevermind is a rock/grunge classic, a must listen for all. The first half of this album is full of top chart songs that are nowadays super recognizable and one might say even a bit overplayed. The second half is a bit more experimental and will not suit everybody's taste. The cover is also as iconic as the album itself.
Nostalgic
It's possible to like Nirvana but also think they are overrated. This is a very good album, but I don't think they were the second coming. I wish Kurt had decided to stick around longer to see what they would have done over the course of a 30 year career. Then maybe they could have been ranked among the all-time greats. 4 stars.
Can't deny the impact on so many bands that I love but far from my favorite of the genre.
Jednostavno klasik. Drugi dio albuma mi se uvijek malo raspadne, al nećemo loše o umrlima.
13y/o me bi bio jako ljut što 23y/o me nije dao 5 ovom albumu.
you guys hear about this "nirvana" band?
"Oh no, I know a dirty word" (Smells like teen spirit)
Great album. A little too clean to be my favorite of theirs. 9/10
Tough album for me to be objective about. I loved this album, but I also think its overrated. I think there were a lot of bands doing similar things at the time and Nirvana never particularly stood out to me as doing any one thing particularly well. The classics have been over played more than most top 40 hits and the fanaticism for the band was also annoying when it reached its peak. Yet its still a good album. No real filler, every song is good and the band rocks. Still gets 4 stars from me due to all of this, but my actual enjoyment of listening to this now a days is more like a 2-3
I was the right age for this when it came out and I never felt even then that it "represented" me in any way, and I still don't understand how it became some sort of world-changer. Always thought the track sequencing was off, too. Nice to revisit occasionally, though.
þetta er veislu plata something in the way er uppahaldið mitt easily 4 stjornur korter i 5
Great album. The grooves are awesome and the lyrics deal with meaningful topics of depression and ostracism. 8/10
Classic album with some great songs. Slightly overplayed but we'll deserved.
Fantastic. Riffs sound huge. Acoustic isn’t bad either. Joe liked it a lot.
Frábær plata. Polly er uppáhald.
I love you I'm not gonna crack!
Heck yes
It's hard to separate this from the cultural zeitgeist. The first half of this album is absolutely iconic. The latter half does get a little more screamy than I'd remembered
Being as monumental as it is, it loses a bit of focus on the second half. The first half however is as strong as the legacy itself.
4/5
I was a teenager when these guys were massive and all the girls fancied them. On this basis I never listened to them, i mean you couldn't avoid teen spirit but i closed my mind to them. 20odd years later and with the hormones settled a great gutsy album with memorable songs, shouting and screaming. It's where punk meets grunge and has a little pop baby.
Great album, doesn't quite warrant the endless adulation it garnered at the time but comes pretty close
classic
Listened before as a teenager, still holds up!
Samalla tavalla hankala arvioitava kuin Offspringin Smash. Aikanaan lähes täydellinen levy, mutta ei tälläistä puuroista rähinää nykyään jaksa ihan samalla innolla ainakaan kauhean suurissa annoksissa. Toisaalta omassa genressään kyllä aivan eliittiä ja todella merkittävä pioneeri aikanaan. Ehkä eniten nautin niistä vähemmän tunnetuista biiseistä jotka eivät ole ihan samalla tavalla kuuntelussa kuluneita. Kolmonen tuntuu kuitenkin liian matalalta arvosanalta eli nelosella mennään.
Its a solid record, obviously the known hits and a couple tracks i couldn't care for but a couple neat discoveries.
Pretty good album. Teen Spirit was my favorite song
I couldn't handle listening to smells like teen spirit. Ironically it would have killed off any remaining teen spirit I have left. You know who lives off teen spirit? Yeah, SHACK does. That and lamb chops.
classic grunge, last song is a bit much
4.4 + I can pretty much sing this one all the way through. Still holds up after 30 years.
Songs that are not the most popular are actually have more interesting instrumental variations
I never said this wasn't a great album. It's a great album! Despite turning the masses onto grunge, my argument has been that I still don't think its sound came out of no where. You can hear in this album all the punk, post-punk and alt music that had come before it. Just not that many people were tuned into it all ... until this album broke through. As Dave Grohl likes to say, Wilson-Phillips had the No. 1 song in the U.S. when Nevermind was released on Sept. 24, 1991 (same day as Badmotorfinger and one month after Ten, fwiw). 'Nough said.
Here I am, I am entertained. However, that entertainment decreases somewhat past the half-way mark of Nirvana's Nevermind. Incredible highs, such as Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, and Come As You Are with their radiating energy and angsty chants, are in stark contrast with the dumb and meaningless Territorial Pissings, the annoying riffs and vocals on Stay Away, and the disgustingly confusing instrumentals on Endless, Nameless. Because I greatly appreciate Nirvana's contributions to the grunge genre, and Nevermind clearly contains some of their best material ever written, a 4/5 is a fitting score.
Super melancholy but still great
Never fully understood how much Frogstomp took from this. Not necessarily a bad thing (especially considering they were able to do it at 15) but it's very same same. Still prefer Frogstomp but important to recognise influence.
There are some definite bangers on this album. Iconic ones too, so I can't get too down on it.
Yep
Sounds great, the singles are excellent, but very shouty.
What more can you say other than this album is great from beginning to end.
definitely holds up
Creo que nunca había escuchado Nirvana antes (perdón) Smells Like Teen Spirit: QUÉ CHULA In bloom: qué guay aunque me gusta menos Come as you are: por algo es un clásico qué bonita es me gusta Breed: well... en plan pega con el album... pero me hace el cerebro un poco en plan... ok... aunque por otra parte me hace imaginar que soy un adolescente punki anglosajón incomprendido etc eso está chulo Lithium: HOLA ME GUSTAS Polly: no me gusta especialmente pero es necesaria tenia ya la cabeza como una bomba con tanto grito esta canción es chill recuperación etc Territorial Pissings: NO ME ENCANTA PERO TODO LO QUE SEA NOISE CON BEATS SUPER MARCADOS AAAAA ES QUE NO ME GUSTA TANTO PERO NO PUEDO DEJAR DE MOVERME AL RITMO LA AMO Drain you: ME GUSTAS BAILA CONMIGO PORFA - okay voy por la mitad de la canción y ya no es bailar......menuda decepción estoy llorando esta iba a ser mi favorita - nevermind ya ha vuelto a ser de bailar pero no sé si me podré recuperar de la puñalada de antes Lounge Act: no entiendo este disco me hace tener ganas de bailar y de moverme qué chulada esta canción es igual y qué guay Stay Away: muy chula ganas de bailotear y tal aunque no es de mis favoritas On A Plain: hmm está bien pero no hay tantas ganas de bailotear ni me gusta tanto - también chula no hace que te duela la cabeza Something in the way: lol no me la esperaba para nada no es tan animada como las otras y quizá rompe un poco con la coherencia? del disco pero está bastante bien aunque no es de mi favs Endless, Nameless: bastante cool? en plan me gusta mucho lo que es pero no tanto como suena? si eso tiene algún sentido. está bastante bien para cerrar el album ^^ Le daría un 8 y medio al álbum. Es que le daría un sobresaliente PORQUE ME GUSTA MUCHO Y ME DAN GANAS DE BAILOTEARLO pero no podría escucharlo más de dos veces seguidas o me daría dolor de cabeza por eso le quito medio punto perdón PUNTUACIÓN: 8 y medio
Listened to this album many times. Great album.
It's a classic. It's harsh, but that's part of its appeal.
No lo escuché porque no estaba de ánimo, pero me acuerdo de mis canciones preferidas. “Come as you are” es un clásico, y “Stay Away” me parece un temón para mudarte de la casa de tu ex o alguna situación así.
I've tried to listen to this album so many times but never made it through. For the longest time I didn't get the hype. However, after listening to the whole thing there's an undeniable whirlwind energy that carries through the album that makes it excellent.
I can see why this album is considered one of the bests. Many of the songs on this album went on to become some of their biggest hits, but don't let that fool you. The rest of the album has a ton of great tracks ending with a grungy and dark song like endless nameless. It's easy to see how Nirvana had such an influence. Favorite tracks(excluding the greatest hits) Polly or Breed.
Undeniably influential, plays like a Nirvana greatest hits album. Probably a bit overrated, not quite a perfect album.
Stronger first half Mainly consistent
Game changer.
Ok, this is album is good, like really good. The only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 was the last song. If it wasnt there I would have no problems listening to the album on repeat. High 4.5/5 real rating
In conclusione: Risentirlo dopo tutto questo tempo m'ha fatto un effetto strano. Questo album per me è l'inizio della feticizzazione del disagio nella musica, è controverso come album proprio perché c'ha due forze in conflitto, quella della libera espressione di un disagio generazionale e personale e quella del fatto che sto disagio vende se viene rifinito un minimo. In ogni caso pure quando lo ripulisci un po' penso che il contenuto è talmente forte che arriva lo stesso pure infiocchettato coi coretti e i ritornelli un po' forzati. Una cosa che mi ha sorpreso è stato risentire più influenza di quella che ricordavo dei Nirvana sui Foo Fighters anche come sonorità. Il suono è tipico del genere e del periodo, molto influenzato secondo me dal metal che era la cosa più vicina anche se forse oggi i Nirvana sarebbero stati prodotti diversamente.
In realtà smells like teen spirit è la traccia con cui connetto di meno, infatti sentendo il disco e partendo con quella ho avuto una strana sensazione. L'album è in crescendo.
I totally forgot something in the way was on this one - I remember hearing that apparently when they were recording this Cobain just kept asking that the vocal be made quieter and quieter until it was barely audible. I really like the range between smells like teen spirit and something in the way. It goes a bit too grungey in the middle for me though.
It’s about time I listened to nirvana I think. From this track list i know Smells like teen spirit and Come as you are. I quite like both so I have pretty high expectations. SLTS is a banger. Album name drop :o nice. Second track is still a vibe. Omg are they dissing a certain type of fan or am i reading it completely wrong. Could just be about being immature i guess. If this album continues like this it might be a 5 im really into it. Second gun mention. This album goes a lot harder than i thought it would. Lithium is a bit meh. Some more questionable lyrics in Polly. First 4 tracks were really strong. Following 3 were whatever. Drain you is trying hard to be gross but it's okay, i still like it and its lyrics. All songs give me something to think about so that's cool whether i like them or nah. Lounge act is okay. Stay away was ???. LOVE Something in the way, im obsessed with his barely audible singing for the verse. The second half of the last song is really nice. Ah I'm really glad i listened to this album, at times i really loved the lyrics, might give it another listen just for that. About the sound, its okay, not what im normally into but its pretty accessible for someone who doesnt like a heavier sound, harsh vocals here and there but they're not the norm.
ok
Didn't actually listen to it, but there are few albums I know better. I listened to this at least twice per day for two years until I got my hands on a copy of In Utero (CDs were expensive for teenagers in the late 90s). It's a good album, still stands up well. But compared to the other Nirvana albums it's my least favourite.
I mean, it's Nirvana. There were 2 songs that I didn't like a ton, but the good songs were great and definitely made up for the worse songs.
Top ! Un peu trop vénére pour moi par moment
There is Something In The Way of this album fully grabbing me, but I do like it.
Any album that opens with Smells Like Teen Spirit and goes on with tracks such as Come As You Are is going to be a classic. I can only imagine what it must have felt and sounded like to have a Dave Grohl driven, Cobain inspired Nirvana burst onto the scene and remind everyone what sounds used to be made in people's garages. The simplicity of the bass lines, Ghrols drums and Cobain's insular disdain shine in songs such as Lithium, a brilliant record.
Ok let me explain: this was a great album but I wasn't really feeling it the same as the other Nirvana we did earlier. On another day this could easily be 5 stars. Forgive me :'(
fantastic album. Last bit too much though
It's great - obvs. Very melodic but also hard. It's one of those albums I don't need to listen to though, as it's so familiar. Y
Excellent album - Couldn't believe that was the first time I'd listened to it all the way through!
Fun to listen to. It seemed so edgy when it came out but has been emulated so much since then that it doesn't feel as edgy.
Classic, although I've never listened to the whole thing before. They have quite a distinctive sound, and I enjoy the unusual chord progressions
Very good album
Sounds as fresh as the day it was released, a classic
I remember feeling the same way when I was younger...it's a great album but there are a few terrible songs (i.e. Territorial Pissings)
Classic.
Co za zbieg okolicznosci listowy, ze Cobainowa Nirvana znalazla sie tak blisko czasowo z Dziura Kortnejowa, bo daje to mozliwosc porownania grania znanego ze swojego brzmienia z banda znana z bycia znana poprzez zwiazek ze znana banda, jak w przypadku dziury sprawa wygladala, wiec kolejna porcja grungowego rokowania, byl to moj pierwszy odsluch calej plyty, choc wyrywkowo juz slyszalem niektore traki i jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony pelnym obrazem plyty jaki uzyskalem, kompozycje nie sa jak na poprzednim grungu, czyli na jedno kopyto z agresywnymi elektrykami, ale pojawiaja sie nawet fragmenty gdzie cala robote robi akustyk, do ktorego stopniowo dochodza drumy i cudnie dobrane wokalowe wstawki, jak ma sie wlasnie sprawa z trakiem polly lub something in the way, ktory dobrze pokazuje ze nirvana to nie tylko sam cobain, ale inne potezne nazwiska maja tam swoje miejsce, bo Grohl na drumsach do takiej rangi wlasnie aspiruje, ale i tak najbardziej w glowie zostaja jednak gitarkowe wyczyny cobaina, bo takie polaczenie elektrykow i akustyka, to fenmen dzieki ktoremu nirvana przebila sie mozna szamba jakim jest grunge rock, ciekawe jest w jakim sposob odbieram teraz liryki nirwanowe w porownaniu do tego co sadzilem o nich za czasow szkolniackich, bo nirwana to jednak banda kultowa ktorej nawet nie sluchajac znalo sie i jakos przyswajalo, jak mozna z taka energia wylewac smutek i jednoczesnie samo destrukcje dazenia, nie tworzac jednak klimatu totalnej apatii jest wyczynem jesli chodzi o tekstowanie, kazdy trak brzmi autentycznie pisany pierwszo osobowo i bardzo bezposrednio pozwala zanurzyc sie w tym smutku, obok najbardziej klasycznych trakow czyli smell like teen spirit i lithium dodam na plejke dodatkowa porcje troche drugo planowych trakow, ktore jednak tym razem mi wyjatkowo podeszly, czyli somthing in the way i on a plain, jeden z najbardziej witty nitty liryczek, tak prosto a jednak wyjatkowo ilustratywnie, szarpanie ocenowe, bo nie sadzilem ze tak przekonam sie do grungowego rokowania, mocna 4, kolejny raz skala 10 punktowa bardzo by pomogla w tej sytuacji
4/5
9/10
One of the first albums I ever listened to #fact not quite my style but it's iconic and the big tunes are absolute belters
It has finally arrived. An album I would have expected to be on this list. No disrespect to Michael Jackson but the minute I saw this album cover I fist pumped the air. I haven’t ever listened to the album but I know so many of the songs on here. Nirvana is a band that I have more relation to through others than myself. I am not a Nirvana fan but I know a lot of people who were at one point. Our cousin Harry had a Nirvana box set we listened to in New Jersey when we were kids, I had a classmate, Shelby Jones, who would spend lunches telling me about Kurt Cobain and what he meant to her (he had passed by then) and to music. She had lost her parents in a car wreck and was always listening to this album and I’m sure some of his others but she introduced me to Nirvana. I think of her along with my cousin and all those other young kids out there who latched onto this particular grunge rock that totally fits the bill of Alternative. It was perfect if you were going through a phase or were just an emo type of person but that doesn’t mean the sound is bad. Teen Spirit was played many a times in the football locker room or in movies I would watch. Come As You Are was just recently featured in Captain Marvel. Territorial Pissings was covered by one of my favorite metal bands, Ill Nino. Those are the three I know off the bat so I’m excited to see if there are any other that I recognize. But that is a lot to say about this band and album during just this opening song! Which I didn’t realize was five minutes long. Oh I’ve listened to Bloom before in Rock Band! Nirvana, especially this album, feels like this underground scene that eventually turned main stream. That’s what Apple Music says and I totally agree. I haven’t even mentioned that this album came out the year I was born so maybe I was the baby on the cover, who knows. I think we all were that baby on the cover chasing after the almighty dollar. That album cover is probably one of the most recognized of all time. I’ve seen it parodied, censored, and everything in between. I know when I was younger it was the source of many giggles for getting to see his wee willy winky but in my current age, all I see is that dollar bill *insert cool guy glasses*. I wonder if in someway Nirvana inspired Seether, they sound kind of the same. Breed is great, that’s four awesome songs in a row. Love the fast paste drums and strings along with Kurt’s brooding voice. Lithium was great, I don’t think I’ve actually listening to that song fully before. On Territorial Pissings, I also haven’t listened to this fully, just the cover. I like the cover better but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. A lot of the rest of the songs were good but the reason I never listened to the album is I am not the biggest Nirvana fan (did not like the last song on this at all). Not sure why because they are awesome. Listening to this album has helped, especially with finding some new favs like Breed and Stay Away.
des hits solides devenus des classiques du rock mérites 4étoiles
Think i was a bit young for Nirvana, never really got into them til recently
Classic
You're telling me this guy killed himself? Teenage me hated on Nirvana because it was so popular. Listening to it, looking at the lyrics... I like a the juice. Probably closer to a 4.5.
already heard before, still great
Escucharlo de joven siempre fue divertido. Escucharlo ahora pensé que sería pura nostalgia y ya. Sigue siendo una descarga de energía y lo que antes me parecían canciones aburridas combinadas con canciones desmadrosas, terminan por formar un gran, gran disco. Songs: Smells like teen spirit, Lithium, On a plain, Come as you are
it's impossible for me to be objective about this album. it was the one that changed everything, yes - but also, everything was going to change no matter what, and this was kinda just the one that happened to be there at the right time. i did learn to play this entire album back in the day, but i also got intolerably tired of hearing it.
8.3
TBH not sure if I've ever listened. Definitely gives me new appreciation for the band.
Good education, most songs sounded the same save for the good ones.
but ‘territorial pissings’ = 5/5 for the name
Este es mi tercer acercamiento a este disco. La primera vez fue con Erick, en el verano antes de entrar a la prepa y definitivamente yo no era el público correcto para eso, pues para ese entonces ni siquiera escuchaba un disco de Metallica completo. Luego, hace unos 10 años por cierta ex que "es muy fan" y volví a oírlo con un nuevo criterio. No le fue tan mal como la primera y definitivamente me gustó más que el 'In Utero'. Ahora, siendo un disco de 23 años, tengo toda otra perspectiva y me gustó muchísimo más que en acercamientos anteriores. De entrada no lo sentí tan estridente como lo recordaba e incluso noto que las canciones están armadas de una manera bastante pop y la estridencia está más que nada en efectos de guitarra y atasque en la batería. Por otro lado, las canciones que podrían ser 'baladescas' (como Polly) en realidad son las que ahora no me gustan tanto. A mi parecer lo que le puede sobrar a este disco y a la obra de Nirvana en general es la actitud como de condescendencia y desdén de Cobain. Por ejemplo, leí que este disco se iba a llamar Sheep porque todos los que lo compran son ovejas; o como las letras a veces son casi murmullos que "nadie de la prensa ha entendido bien porque ni siquiera las logran transcribir". Entiendo que en su cabeza sonaba muy cabrón ponerse como inalcanzable y inaccesible, pero a mí me suena más a postura de adolescente que de artista.
Overrated and featuring some genuinely atrocious songs. But nonetheless a great album with plenty of timeless classics.
Pretty darn good album. I know many call it a masterpiece, and if I was more into the overall sound maybe I'd agree. Well crafted songs and a full album experience for sure.
Turns out he did have a gun :(
If it weren't for Butch Vig being a brilliant con-man, we'd'nt've "Teen Spirit", but we'd've an alive Cobain. This album is what happens when someone directs anger at the masses, and ends up being called the Messiah for it. In a way, the genius of the album, and its wide variety of dissonances, ever-changing moods, and constant nihilism is secondary to the fact that everyone hears its first bars, and chose to copy it, ignoring what the rest of the album was trying to say. In that sense, it's like the Gettysburg of the 1990s. Fucking Nirvana fans, they killed Nirvana. Score: 83/100
This is the second Nirvana album that these guys have suggested. I liked hearing these songs again, I haven't in a long time. Some of their tracks sounded way more punk than I remember them being.
Not bad, not entirely convinced that it's such an amazing album though. Come As You Are is certainly one of the highlights for me.
Makes me think of my uncle putting this record on when I was a teenager. Since I “came of age” in the 2000s, Nirvana had already been taught to me as rock legend, a myth of the past (though the 1990s were not that long ago). This still slaps
The first half of the Album is iconic and is powerful however, I feel that the second half of the album becomes a tedious task to make it through.
Well fuck. I had never listened to this album in it's entirety. Was very surprised how varied the songs are and pretty awesome at that. Can't give it 5 stars because that would imply that every single song was a goddamn hit, which for me wouldn't be the case, but this gets a solid 4 stars.
I don't like grunge that much, but it was still quite enjoyable.
I’m consumed by angst
I'm not the biggest Nirvana guy, but after listening to this album in the context of this project, I understand a bit better why people are really into them. I still wouldn't voluntarily listen to most of these tracks, but there's no denying the massive footprint of this work. Best track: Breed
smells like teen spirit might be one of the best opening songs in an album in the past 30 years
my fav songs will always be smells like teen spirit and come as you are. smells like teen spirit - always reminds me of my mom , the bass guitar on this song is best in bloom - this is complete ROCK. It makes me feel like i'm in a messy room ignoring my room and pissed off come as you are - will always be #2 on this, the way he's singing and touching the raspy spot to get this song and the bass. breed - this also ROCK i don't hate it but, rock isn't me (same with Lithium) actually i like Lithium alot more I'd give this album 7/10
I was scared of them at 14 - too loud and emotional - and even now I prefer the reggae versions by Little Roy. The sound of someone screaming isn't ever going to be my favourite sound. But I wasn't on the right side of history - clearly this was the greatest album of 1991, and not 5:30's "Bed" or Blur's "Leisure". And nowadays I do enjoy its melodicism. Maybe one day I'll analyse the prevalence of medial chord changes in this album, in particular the way that it supports chromatic melodies. But for now I'll be "he's the one / who likes an our pretty songs / and he likes to sing along / but he don't know what it means". This was, I think, the first thing I've ever listened from start to finish. Pretty sure I hadn't heard any of the last five songs before, and it definitely tails off: "Endless Nameless" is too much. Plus, the stuff that Spotify took me to after this was bloody awful (Jane's Addiction, Fugazi, Pearl Jam) so I think I'm better off having not really been into grunge. Guess I just wasn't an angry enough kid.
Surprised to find that the only songs I liked were the hits.
A couple of bangers, but surprisingly didn't love the whole album.
Man loved it when I was a kid just not as much as an adult
It is a good album that never gets old
3.5/5
You know, the songs that aren’t famous from this album aren’t famous for a reason. 3 stars because my god that songs that are famous have been played to death
1. teen - 5 2. bloom - 3 3. come - 4 4. breed - 1 5. lithium - 3 6. polly - 2 7. territorial - 2 8. drain - 2 9. lounge - 1 10. auuay - 1 11. plain - 2 12. zomething - 3 13. endlezz - 1
strong candidate to most influential 6/10 of all time
very good
Honestly? Pretty overrated I feel. Starts off really strong with hit after hit, but then starts to even out around Polly / Territorial Pissings. The only song to make any impression on me after that is Something in the Way. I liked both Hole albums on this list better, which is an opinion i'm pretty sure would get me beaten to death with hammers by some people. Still a good album though.
A : 3, tbh JL : 3, Breed
1 - 10/10 classic grunge anthem 2 - 5/10 kind of too repetitive for my liking 3 - 8/10 another grunge classic 4 - 8/10 love the energy 5 - 5/10 nothing is really happening for me; again kind of repetitive 6 - 5/10 very subdued; expected a crash that never came 7 - 7/10 once again love the energy in this one; especially after polly 8 - 6/10 another grunge classic; the beginning and end are too similar to teen spirit in my opinion 9 - 7/10 really like the bass in that one but it's not special 10 - 9/10 dave grohl cooked on that one; really catchy 11 - 5/10 not special 12 - 8/10 another classic; the darkest song so far 13 - 7/10 very interesting especially as a closing track; reminds me of NIN a bit
es un hecho que es bueno, pero no es tan significativo para mí
So this is an interesting one. It's a vibe and at least one legendary song on here. But. It is too repetitive for me. If this is your thing, I can understand you can listen to this for hours, but for me an album needs to tell a story. Go somewhere. Start and end. And this is more like a greatest hits bundle. To my untrained ear, it all sounds rather similar. Therefore, good for a listen, but wouldn't repeat the entire album, just some tracks. And the last song? There is a lot I can listen to, but this isn't it. Really tough to even finish that one and will try to avoid ever listening it again. 6.6/10?
Nevermind's Average Score out of 100 is 65 The Highest rated song is "Something in the way" with a 92 The Lowest rated song is "Lounge Act" with a 32 Nirvana's Nevermind is a classic for a good reason , largely for the mainstreamifaction for indie rock and grunge for better or worse. Catchy melodies and fantastic songwriting. There will never be another Nirvana.
A truly legendary album that changed the western music canon forever...and it's just not for me. I like some of the songs, but it just isn't my cup of tea. And that's ok!
I know it’s a pivotal album but I think it’s ok.
mm its alright
Dunno, guess I don’t get it. Why is this like #2 on this list
Good
Didn't enjoy as much as in utero but still a solid album. I find Nirvana has some unique qualities that separate them from some of the other cult favorite bands that has been generated for me so far.
Not my style but it's a pretty good album
Better that i thought ,suprisingly or maybe unsuprisngly it has more to offer that the viral tiktok songs nvm its not that good
monke see monke do. On the side note, not relevant to my feeling towards the music, the album cover always bothered me a lot. Somebody cover him up! But hey, can we see his penis now?
Kurtie kept sayin “no I don’t have a gun” and all I could think about is….yeah you did????
Me and these boys both need a cup of chamomile tea to cool down it a little 3.7
I can never get into it as much as I’d want to
A bit overrated, but all in all a solid album that laid the foundation for a lot of upcoming grunge bands. RIP Kurt
So I really did like basically all of the songs. But I HATED Endless, Nameless that was just noise oh my god hahha. But everything else was good and I enjoyed learning more about the album as I’ve never looked into it. Also I was shocked by the fact I basically knew all of the songs in the album!
Not really my capatea but there’s few songs I liked but def my fav one is Endless, Nameless album score 6.2/10
Sé que es icónico pero excepto un par de temas no le puedo encontrar lo épico. Nota: 3.1
Loud and fast. Energetic and jump worthy.
having already listened to this some time ago, i just skipped this, i get that its a legendary album, its just not my type of thing
Liked it, but got a bit repetitive for me(not usually my genre, so maybe that's why)
Bello ma alcune canzoni bo, ripetitive
Listened previously. Expectations: Mid - Verdict: Very Good - Perhaps my expectation of 'Mid' is too low as this is obviously a good album. For me though it is the weakest Nirvana record. Maybe some of that comes from having heard these songs too many times. I could happily go the rest of my life without hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit again. Trying to put that aside, it is a brilliantly written record. The songs are punchy, catchy and direct with a glossy sheen that makes them instantly accessible. In Bloom and Breed are highlights from the first side. As the record goes on the songs become less memorable but in some ways just as enjoyable. Stay Away and On A Plain are really good.
Jeg må nok erkende at Nirvana aldrig rigtigt bliver mig. Der er selvfølgelige nogle gevaldige bangers, men overordnet set siger det mig sgu ikke det store.
Idk id rather just be listening to in utero
Great grunge/rock crossover album from the Seattle boys
Effortless good
je l'avais déjà écouté, en vrai c'est un classique mais c'est pas tant mon style, par contre la pochette est iconique
It's an album that's a fun listen. I mean, it's a good album. Overrated? Yes, quite. Is it still good? Definitely.
Not great, not bad
freakin awesome, epic songs. i'm giving a star for every cool dude in this band
Eventually listened to this. Good sound, surprisingly melodic.
É um álbum legal, mas nao gosto tanto dele assim
I like some of it. As a whole I wouldn’t keep it as a favorite album
Singles are good. Rest not so
Énergique et bruyant
Same issue with the lynard skynerd album. A few masterpieces and a bunch of nothing in between.
For a guy who spent so much time complaining about being popular, he sure wrote a lot of very poppy songs with serious hooks. Hated everything about Nirvana in their time, hate them less now, but still...
Ok ish
Never got into grunge at the time, so I ignored this and all similar releases around then. Unfortunate for me. In retrospect, this is just a very powerful rock album. The band and music are intense throughout. Enjoyed it.
classic i like stay away on the whole it's just not my to my taste especially the vocal style... i don't think it's bad just not for me
it’s good, but, apparently, not for me; ofc iconic. for special occasions
Good
Youthful rage. Cobain’s voice is an instrument. Chord structure leans on late resolution. Garage band gone mad in studio. Hopelessly dark. Simple stream of consciousness lyrics. Drugs. Rage.
Just shut up for god's sake. 3/5
Fine not really my genre, like that one basic song
A solid 3/5. There is some iconic songs in here and I enjoyed them but, there some other songs that were just bad.
The only track i know was smell like teen spirit. Enjoy discovering new music
Album iconico, tiene muchos temas reconocible por cualquier persona. Sin embargo, se carga mucho a canciones muy rockeras y ese no es mi principal gusto.
I expected to really dislike this album, and I actually didn't as much as I expected to. That being said, I didn't love it, and there were definitely some obnoxious songs in there.
evidentemente no estoy subida a la onda de la banda porque no disfruto mucho el género siento que el cantante grita probablemente sea caracteristica del genero pero mn definitiva no me gusta
Only the well known songs are nice. Other are by far too dark for me.
Good instruments, perfect voice. Not a fan of heavy metal but really enjoyed listening to it. Can really pump uo yout morning if you need to
first one hehe
Nirvana is for boomers
Llega raspando a las 3 estrellas. No es un mal disco pero si esta, en mi opinión, muy sobrevalorado. Es normalito tirando a decente como mucho. Tiene muchas más canciones flojas que buenas, por lo tanto se hace un toque largo, pero no inescuchable.
it was ok. i liked some songs and i didnt like others. kinda overrated imo
smells like teen spirit--i know this song come as you are--i also know this song i really don't think i'm the person to appreciate the depth and nuance of all these 90s rock bands. i dunno... there's just SO many of them. like 3 radiohead albums and nirvana and skunk anansie and war on drugs and ... it just goes on and on and on. even the older rock is starting to all blend together. ok here's more pink floyd. here's peter frampton live. here's stephen still. yay more rock. unfortunately the 1001 best albums project is limited to genres with notable album output. folk albums? sure, there's albums, but the album is not necessarily the best way to convey the body of work. classical music? fundamentally does not operate at an album level (although of course there are albums, they just are not inherent). non-anglosphere music? well the american monopoly on cultural exports would like a word with you. jazz certainly has some notable albums, but again, it's not particularly the fundamental unit of the genre. territorial--this is music? unfortunately the above genres are the music i listen to. so this is just so. much. rock. which i'm glad i'm expanding my horizons, but i'm not loving all the music. it would just be nice if it wasn't so inherently biased against what i listen to. also. why is '90s rock SO angsty. like grow up. endless, nameless--oh goodness, 6 minutes of this? oh that's just the intro. or not. blah. i was gonna give you 3/5, but then you had to add this as the last track, didn't you? anyway, 2.5/5, it's fine, i guess. sorry nirvana for unloading baggage on your review.
it's really difficult to listen to this in a nonbiased way. like I don't really enjoy this music at all, but I've heard every single song on this album a hundred times. I know if I give it less than a three, I will go to hell. obviously it belong on this list because I, a normie, have heard every song. so, like, yeah, it's culturally significant, but I just don't vibe with it like I wish I did. Sturgill Simpson's cover of In Bloom is one of my favorite songs tho
I mean, it's good. The first tracks are no doubt classics. In my opinion it's just a bit too self similar. I think the songs just sound a bit too much like each other
