Reviews (page 7 of 15)
THE most important album during my formative years. Every track is perfect. The production is top notch. Everything from the drums, bass, vocals, guitar distortion is fantastic. Over 30 years old yet this album still sounds as refreshing as when I first heard it as a teen.
This is one of the big ones. Its time and place in the transition from decades and styles is what elevates it beyond just being a great album into a legendary one. It possibly has gotten a bit too much credit now, but still should not be understated either, although I don't think anyone is trying to do that. "Smells like teen spirit" is just such a perfect Nirvana song with its contradictory,mumbly lyrics. It's something that sounds lazy were it coming from almost anyone else and that is what makes it special. Why does Kurt get to get away with that? I dunno. Several other generational tier tracks on this album and it's just hard to find anyone with criticism of this album that isn't just being a contrarian asshat. Is every track perfect? Great? No. Is the sum of the parts perfect? No. But it wasn't trying to be perfect. And whatever it tried to do, it did it. It also did a ton that it didn't try to do too. But I don't know what I'm sayin' What's the message I'm conveyin'? Favorite track "Lithium" 6/5
Easy jawn
Punk et pop - Saturé et mélodique - Déstructuré et sophistiqué - Alternatif et tubesque. Nevermind c'est tout et son contraire, et c'est certainement ce qui lui procure cette efficacité redoutable, qu'on écoute l'album à 16, 25 ou 40 ans. Une succession de titres lourds et à la colère cathartiques. Grunge quoi !
There's something about the production on this that means by the time you get to Lounge Act you feel a bit like you've binged on a big bag of sweets all the same flavour. Still, take any track on its own and it's fantastic. Streaming kind of ruins the effect of Endless, Nameless. Could they not have added a stretch of silence between it and Something in the Way like on the CD?
This is one of the few albums on this list that I had listened to previously to this. I came in from memory thinking this is a 5/5 album and by the end of my listen, I was pleasantly surprised to be proven correct. It is so insane how they managed to make the whole tracklist so catchy and so easy to listen to meanwhile starting a whole new genre and wave. Truly one of the best albums of all time.
Probably the best album on this list. Virtually every song is a hit, except the last one. But it's not only the quality of the music, but what it spawned. I might understand if you're not a grunge fan, but you should acknowledge that this was a seminal album of multiple generations.
Still an amazing original album after all this time. It's a surprising combination of melodic aggressive alternative rock tracks with catchy hooks, and raw angsty noisy energy that is much more challenging. Definitely an album I would love to be able to listen to for the first time again and experience it completely fresh. Great.
All time classic and an easy 5.
This album was a huge part of my teenage years and I know it well. But now it's time to put the nostalgia goggles away, forget its historical place and judge it purely on its own merits. Does it still hold up? Yes! This album is still a monster. Gritty punk and cool indie mixed together. Dark and angsty, yet melodic with pop sensibilities. Nonsensical lyrics that don't sound silly but hint at something deep. Fantastic production by Butch Vig. There's a reason this changed music and became the soundtrack of a generation. In the 80's we became accustomed to hyper produced music with superficial/materialistic lyrics. This just didn't fit in with everything else, and by doing that spoke to everyone that didn't fit in, which is a feeling that almost every teenager has.
Well a classic - banger after banger. Strange to have grown around it and it’s now in the pantheon of great albums, not just another good one. Still not my favourite Nirvana record but it’s still a perfect record.
01) Smells Like Teen Spirit - 10,0 02) In Bloom - 10,0 03) Come As You Are - 10,0 04) Breed - 10,0 05) Lithium - 10,0 06) Polly - 10,0 07) Territorial Pissings - 10,0 08) Drain You - 10,0 09) Lounge Act - 10,0 10) Stay Away - 10,0 11) On A Plain - 10,0 12) Something in the Way - 10,0 13) Endless, Nameless - 9,0 TOTAL: 9,92 (99/100) And here's a picture of 13-year-old me with his copy of "Nevermind" cassette and a big Nirvana poster on the wall behind my bed. I can picture it like it was yesterday... So, as you can guess, I'm very biased towards this album. I haven't listened to it for a long time, but every song brings memories back, except maybe "Endless, Nameless" which I obviously didn't have on my copy of the album :-)
Fine, I'll listen to Nevermind again. But seriously, I can't think of a better starting three tracks, or even FIVE tracks to an album. Just massive hits right out of the gate before you're even finished strapping in for this grunge excursion. Even the "lesser" known songs, including the two acoustic ballads in "Polly" and "Something My Way" stand out too. An influential album for its era and still 30+ years later for sure.
This was a great listen. I respect the choice of (somewhat) unusual chords for the genre, and melodies that are just unorthodox enough to keep you on your toes. Reminds me of Radiohead's melodic style; it's possible that Yorke and the crew were inspired by Nirvana in that regard. So, what exactly is the genre here? There are elements of punk, considering the heavy repetition of hooks (mostly in guitar and vocal) and the aggressive, unrestrained mood. Noticeably more punky in the track Territorial Pissings, which was fantastic. Definitely hints of early alt-rock too. And, of course, the heavy metal that takes centre stage. Cobain and Grohl's playing (and Novoselic's too) is very... synchronous? The band knows how to play together. It's clear that they're comfortable with one another and incredibly skilled on their respective instruments. Let's talk individual tracks. Of course, there's the single that shook the music world, Smells Like Teen Spirit – renowned for its infectious guitar riff, sudden-yet-smooth texture changes, and Cobain's iconic rock wail during the chorus. It seems the band made some darn good choices for singles: Come As You Are, Lithium, and In Bloom are all heavy, instrumentally dense tracks with good riffs and longevity (i.e. they all still sound fresh and fantastic today). Something In The Way is a sort of acoustic ballad, and is also one of my favourite tracks. Really, the only track I disliked was Endless, Nameless. Its extended guitar solo was just a little too atonal and experimental (and long) for my taste. Cut out that track, and the album is honestly near-flawless. Good music though innit. 5/5
Epic as always
Nostalgia runs deep on this album but half the album were memorable singles which I still enjoy today. Maybe this is a….
What's not to like? Big throwback to days of skateboarding and hacky sack.
Amazing
Enough had been written about this album that I’m not sure what I can say that will add to that. This album is a cultural touchstone. Its lyrics are sarcastic and serious all at once and confront themes of alienation, fame, and social issues. Musically, Nirvana shows the breadth of their influences here from college rock to hardcore and show that they’d truly mastered dynamic shifts and tension build up and release in their music. Groundbreaking does not go far enough to describe this album.
This album is so consistently fire, now bad songs, and one of them makes you feel like batman.
Took me back to the good old days
Masterpiece. One of the greatest, most influential, genre-defining albums of all time. Literally not a single weak song on the entire album. This is the album that saved us from hair metal and I will be forever grateful.
Classic. And honestly listening to this all the way through again my least favorite song might actually be smells like teen Spirit!
I remember this album oh-so well. I bought it when it hit the stores and I listened to it often. I don't listen to much Nirvana these days, except some tracks from their MTV Unplugged sessions (some songs in those performances are truly excellent), but I have a deep appreciation for what they did in the late 80s and early 90s. This album is one of those that comes along and hits so many places for a long time.
One of my favorite albums of all time and might have been THE moment for early 90s music
It's boggling to me that this is over 30 years old. I'd wager that not since Never Mind the Bollocks... did an album have this kind of landscape-shifting impact, and that there has been nothing comparable since. It didn't simply codify a nascent genre as commercially viable, it defined a generation.
Changed my music listening life.
"smells like" certified hood classic. sounds ok, mutta ol'dat tik-tok shit ruined this asf. chorus however still bumps "in bloom" sounds like skating on 0,5 speed "come as you are" good song for a mug of beer and cig wearing sunglasses & sitting in crushed car "breed" is fucking underrated fire gem damm
Glad to have an excuse to listen to 'Nevermind' again. Highlights: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Breed, Lithium, Territorial Pissings, Something In The Way
I love the way the first track kicks off the album. The first 3 songs are an excellent streak. Even the songs that are not hits were a nice addition- except I could have done without the last track and ended with Something In The Way. This was a 4.5 for me.
Just a great album. Near perfect. Then there’s just a bit too much of a shouty track at the end. 4.5
Phenomenal, more likely to give it 4.5 stars. Some of the songs were a bit noise and distortion heavy, but there were 5+ bangers that I have slept on
Iconic album for myself. Vividly remember sitting in my buddy's basement and he pulls this cassette out with a naked baby on the cover. Album spans genres and influenced a generation.
wish I’d been born 20 years earlier so I could have been a cobain groupie
Obviously one of the all time greats
Soundtrack to my teenage years…. Could join in every song except endless, nameless….
Probablemente, el disco de rock más importante de la historia. Con este trabajo Kurt Cobain y compañía lograron revolucionar completamente el cansado paisaje musical mainstream de los '80s. Destruyendo la prolijidad, la complejidad y la sobreproducción con canciones esqueléticas y destructivas, este trabajo estableció el movimiento "grunge", tomando influencias pasadas, mezclándolas y creando uno de los mejores LP de la historia de la música pop contemporánea. Un disco que no es recomendable, si no que, obligatorio.
Great
Banger.
can't wait to wear a nirvana shirt to school
Mastahpiece
Hipsters will downplay this record and say that they prefer Bleach, or any other Nirvana record than this one, but this is the record where the strong point of view of Nirvana's punk ideas and production and engineering mastery all came together to make a masterpiece that changed the course of music creation/production and the music business in the United States. The first six songs just slay. Absolute classics and two more awaited the back half of the album. Amazing album for the punk genre.
I listened to this album on repeat for years after it came out. It was so different than everything else that was popular when it released, and my adolescent brain just soaked it up like a sponge. It opened the door from pop hits I was hearing on the radio to seeking hard rock, punk and metal elsewhere. I still love the album, but it isn't in my top albums anymore. I can't deny that it left an indelible mark on my taste however. That said, every song on this album hits and it is a near-perfect album. I won't call out the singles, because they've been analyzed to death. My favorite underrated songs on this album are Breed, Drain You and Lounge Act.
One of the most important albums ever
Such an integral album in the evolution of music. A lot of people say this is the birth of grunge but I view it more as a pop album with punk aesthetics. From the opener “Smells like teen spirit” to the slow closer “something in the way, “ this album fills every box. Territorial pissings is the most underrated song on the album. Essential listening to anyone wanting to under the toils of Gen X.
it's so green day 7/7
I’ve completely played this record out for myself several times in my life. But it’s still awesome.
Perfect album cover to cover. Nirvana isn’t one of my favorites, but listening to this makes their huge success understandable
Tremendo álbum. Lo escuché mucho en su momento y me sigue gustando. Sigue estando vigente.
The definition of an iconic album
Seminal album of a generation. Something everyone should own (if people still bought music)
Modern rock album, which became massively popular in no time. Clearly, the best album from the nineties.
This had great impact at the time and I still love it.
El niño les demandó buscando 30 años despues lo mismo que en la foto - Haiku No pero ta fino el album ta bien ta bien, iconic¿? maybe tirando a yes
First time listen as an album. Amazing. The grime of it stands out still today. I think I’ve heard every song hear at some point because of how prevalent it is in pop culture. A bit of leitmotif throughout. Only one mid song, On A Plain. Standouts: Lithium, Polly, and Endless, Nameless. Final track is a real gut punch.
ozzy said it best " its led Zeppelin meets the Beatles" this album is so iconic and is not overrated at all. stone cold classic.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the songs (like some that are not outdated, e.g. Shout by Tears for Fears and Unbelievable bij EMF) of which the production is so fresh and new that you are in a different world. Heard it when it was released, so am not influenced by the tragic events afterwards which made Kurt Cobain a sad legend. Listening to it again, Nevermind is still as brilliant as it was, my favourite oddly enough Polly. Expect at least 4 average, else much music is wasted on some folks
Super
top 10
Between Nevermind and In Utero it’s tough to really pick a favourite. They’re both excellent, Nevermind tends to be the more polished of the two and that seems to draw unnecessary ire at times. I’m not sure there is a more iconic guitar riff than what we hear the album open with and they just keep piling on the hits from there. The second half isn’t as hit heavy but the deeper cuts are still great. They close it out really well with one last pop jam On a Plain before the gloomy goodness of Something in the Way and finishing with the fun mess of Endless, Nameless. Ultimately, I think In Utero edges out Nevermind as my favourite Nirvana album but there’s always time for the poppier Nevermind. This is a 5
Brilliant album when it came out in - 1991. Continues to be one of the albums that forever altered rock / grunge / Seattle sound / whatever ya want to call it. Excellent indeed. Albeit “smells like teen spirit” is truly overrated and certainly was an A&R push in my opinion.
When stars align albums like this come along. I can still remember the extreme hype when this album dropped back at the very start of the 1990s and it still holds up today. There isn't a single weak track on here and I'm even including the "hidden" track at the end. Sometimes albums are mainstream simply because they're extremely good and this is definitely the case here.
Took exactly a year for Chadbutt’s album to make it. Ez 5
it was a pleasure.
Classic! Genre and decade defining. Excellent album and sound
Classic. Listened through at work conference. Need to revisit. 4.7
The seminal album of Gen X. We all remember where we were when we first heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and we all knew music had changed forever.
Great album ;-)
Great album. Anger, pain and frustration in a box. Love it (first time full listening).
This was THE ALBUM my sixth grade year! So many memories
classic ❤️
Estaba entre el cuatro y el cinco, pero qué demonios, no seamos tan tiquismiqis al poner las cinco estrellas!
All time classic !
This one blew my mind!
Classic
Classic record. There’s a lot to unpack here. What made this the breakthrough for grunge and Nirvana. Pop culture gravitated towards this and not to say what they brought to the table wasn’t innovated. Many have attempted but no band quite sounded like Nirvana. The buzzing guitars hard hitting drums and bass. It’s heavy but extremely melodic. It captured a moment better than a photograph. There are layers upon layers that even though I’ve heard this record many times. I still find new things to enjoy about it. This isn’t even my favorite album and I still have good feelings behind it.
No skips from start to finish.
What do I say about this album that hasn’t already been said. It’s amazing. Favorite songs: Drain you Polly and On a plain
Huh, just had Nirvana's MTV Unplugged yesterday. And mused on how I had fallen out of love a bit. Or how it's never been that deep? But how beautifully familiar it was, nevertheless. But, NEVERMIND, despite how much more I may have resonated with Soundgarden or the Alice In Chains' SAP and Jar of Flies, Nirvana deservedly takes the crown of the Grunge Kings and I would be lying if this wasn't a 5.
An all time great record. Easy 5 star.
Weirdly, this might be my least favorite Nirvana album. One of the first bands I got hooked on.
This album rocks. Lots of hits that was on my old MP3 player. Starting off with Smells Like Teen Spirit really sets the tone for the album.
WE ARE ON A GOOD PATH HERE I like
classic
One of my favorite albums
Phenomenal. Never get tired of listening to this one.
A classic. Faves: "Smells Like TeenSpirit" & "Come As You Are"
I mean, sure, nearly every track on this record is overplayed, but for good reason. It's an incredible record. That's an undeniable fact. It's interesting because similarly to how the Ramones were punk influenced by girl groups I feel like Nirvana is punk/rock&roll influenced by pop, structurally speaking, which is probably what makes it so universally loved. It's a little annoying though because I feel like other bands like maybe Dinosaur Jr were doing similar things in a more interesting way, and I will be surprised if a Dinosaur Jr record is on this list. Maybe I will be surprised though! And obviously Nevermind is insanely influential, moreso than Dinosaur Jr. Idk I'm still giving this 5 stars I'M JUST SAYING.
'Nevermind' changed the way rock music developed in the 1990s so alone for this it deserves a lot of recognition. I find the album really great, I love the rawness, the excellent production and in many ways great songwriting. It is far from perfect though. The first half of the album is excellent, the second half isn't that great, especially Territorial Pissings, Lounge Act, Stay Away are weaker songs compared to the rest (and let's pretend the hidden track Endless, Nameless doesn't exist because that one is the worst song and I don't know what made them to put the song on the album). Overall, I was torn between a 4 and a 5 because I find it no more than a 4.5 album, but the impact this had on the music industry makes it a 5.
Brilliant album that brought international attention to the Pacific NW Subpop music scene.
Oh, you hate nirvana so much? Don’t name 3 of their albums
Great!
The best of 90's!
Grunge is not a genre I typically revisit all too often but every time I listen to Nevermind I'm blown away.
The back third of this album kind of falls off but the beginning is good enough to get the 5. First three tracks are a killer sequence. Can’t get enough of that Come As You Are baseline. I kind of prefer when Kurt stops yelling so much - Polly is a great reprieve to have in the middle. Overall this album doesn’t mean to much for me but it deserves its status as an icon.
One of my favorite rock albums. Extra refreshing after all the 80s this week
Magnificent. The first 5 songs have to be one of the greatest opening runs in any album ever released. I can’t imagine hearing this for the first time in 1991 especially given how unknown they were before this album broke through. For three guys they have a mighty sound, and while it’s all raucous and loud, Kurt Cobain’s songs maintain strong melodies (and harmonies!) throughout.
Always great to listen to this one. It’s in my all-time top 10 for sure.
Yeah, it's great, it's Nirvana
I'm beginning to rethink all my musical preferences, so many artists\albums that I thought I wouldn't like have turned out to be incredible. This is another one of those. Absolute perfection. Every track was a standalone belter. 5 stars all the way.
I know this album. I LOVE this album. Nirvana forever!
Classic - took me back to middle school. Album still holds up - my kids are into it.
Every song is a jam. This album brings me back !!
LOL I mean it's Nirvana, baby!!!! What do you expect!!!! Come As You Are makes me wanna play the drums SO BAD That meme "something in my ass" kinda ruined something in the way for me but I still love it
Pretty damn good!
Immense - dildo who tried to sue Nirvana for putting him on the front cover should know he has a small cock
A classic
Neben Diversen Alben von die Ärzte, Hybrid Theory und Meteora von Linkin Park ist das definitiv das meistgehörte Album meiner Kindheit/Jugend. Aus heutiger Sicht muss ich meinem jungen Ich auf die Schulter klopfen. Was für ein unfassbar geiles Album. Der Mythos um Kurt Cobain/Nirvana catcht mich spätestens jedes Jahr am 5. April. In der Zeit versinke ich jedes mal erneut im YoutubeHole, um neues Material zu suchen. "Die Tagebücher" von Curt Cobain war vermutlich das erste "Buch", welches ich freiwillig gelesen habe (und damals sicherlich nicht verstanden habe). Das Albumcover ist eines der bekanntesten jemals. Ich könnte noch so viel mehr schreiben. Allein, dass ein Dave Grohl an den Drums war. Meine Güte freue ich mich grad, dass das Album heute dran ist. Rainbow von Radiohead hat meine 5 Sterne mit Sicherheit verdient, eigentlich wollte ich die aber für Alben wie "Nevermind" aufsparen. Für Alben, die nicht nur einmalig sind, sondern mir emotional etwas bedeuten. Was ein Brett! Auf die einzelnen Songs möchte ich gar nicht zu sehr eingehen, da ich das Album im Ganzen so geil finde! Genug Nirvana-Fanboy-Gefasel.. Maximale Punkteausbeute von mir, keine Frage!
- Verfickte Scheiße bekomm ich immer wieder Gänsehaut bei diesem Album. - Alles daran ist so unfassbar ikonisch. Die Musik. Der Titel. Das Cover. Die Band. - Ich kann nur erahnen, wie oft dieses Album über verschiedenste Medien den Weg in meine Gehörgänge fand - egal ob mp3-Player, CD, Ipod, Handy (und hoffentlich demnächst auch mal als Vinyl). - Ich liebe so ziemlich jeden einzelnen Song - Die Big 4 des Grunge teilen sich ja durchaus stilistisch ein wenig auf: Während Soundgarden und Alice In Chains ihre Wurzeln eher im Metal haben und Pearl Jam wahrscheinlich die "reinste" Form von Grunge spielt (wenn es das überhaupt gibt) sind bei Nirvana immer schon ganz klar die Punk Roots zu verorten. Es gibt kaum einen Song auf dem Album bei dem dieser geile Punk Rotz und die Energie nicht auch rauskommt. Und Kurt Cobain ist mehr Punk als alle Punks mit Nietenarmband und Irokesenschnitt zusammen. Dazu ein kurzes Zitat: Nachdem Nevermind so erfolgreich wurde, schlug Axl Rose persönlich vor, dass Nirvana der Support für Guns N’ Roses auf ihrer 1992er Tour werden sollte. Cobain lehnte das Angebot mit den Worten “They’re really talentless people, and they write crap music” ab. HAHAHAHAHA, love it! - Kurze Buchempfehlung: "Storyteller" die Autobiografie von Dave Grohl, alle Nirvanakapitel sind (wie auch das gesamte Buch) sehr geil und v.a. Hörenswert -> Dave liest das Buch selbst. - Auch wenn ich das Album zugegebenermaßen in den letzten Jahren kaum gehört habe, hab ich grad wieder richtig Bock auf Nirvana bekommen. - Das zweite Mal, dass ich glatte 5 Sterne vergebe und es fühlt sich gut an! Rating: 5/5
- Legendärer Meilenstein, keine Frage - Die erste Hälfte des Albums ist einfach ein Best of Album - Zweite Hälfte etwas schwächer, trotzdem mit vielen Highlights - Einfach unvergleichbarer Sound/Charakter, der bis heute nicht erreicht/kopiert/abgewandelt wurde; vielleicht auch besser so - Kurt Cobain zählt wohl zu den authentischsten Sängern aller Zeiten. Man glaubt und fühlt jedes Wort, was der Mann singt. - Bei diesen dissonanten und unbequemen Akkord-Abfolgen läuft es einem jedes mal wieder kalt den Rücken runter. Häufig leider Produkt einer düsteren Psyche oder Drogenkonsum (noch häufiger beides) - Dann noch das wohl bekannteste und polarisierendste Album-Cover aller Zeiten. - Leider gibt es für mich in diesem Album jedes mal ein kleines Loch, wo die Qualität etwas nachlässt, von \"Territorial Pissing\" bis hin zu \"Lounge Act\"/\"Stay Away\", wobei \"Stay Away\" sich wieder an die Anfangsqualität steigert. Dann schließt das Album aber mit den letzten drei Songs wieder GRANDIOS!. Vor allem das avantgardistische Post-Rock/metal artige \"Endless, Nameless\" (damals als Hidden Track auf der Platte) komplettiert die Wut und das gestiftete Chaos perfekt. 4,5/5
Ich weiß weder, wie ich auf Nirvana gestoßen bin, noch wann das zum ersten Mal war. Nichtsdestotrotz (wer hat sich dieses Wort eigentlich überlegt) verbinde ich damit zugegebenermaßen manchmal etwas verwaschene (wie passend, bei Grunge-Riffs und -Melodien) Erinnerungen meines Lebens. Seien es mir endlos vorkommende Fahrten zu Basketballspielen, aufblitzende Gaming-Momente, Feiern, ruhigere Momente zuhause, oder an die Gitarrenstunde, in der wir vor wenigen Monaten "In Bloom" geübt haben. Viele Lieder von Nevermind passen für mich auf so viele verschiedene Situationen, Momente und Emotionen, und ich finde es jedes Mal wieder erstaunlich, wie sie Erinnerungen aus unseren Hirnen entlocken können. Da hier nur weiteres Fanboy Gebrabbel folgen würde und so oder so klar ist, wie meine Bewertung ausfällt: Auf ewig eins meiner Lieblingsalben, over and out!
Didn't need to listen to it too know it was 5 stars. But I still listened to it, at work, with my earphones on. And I was surprised to find that I didn't like it as much as I remembered. It was still good, but not AS GOOD as I remembered. It seemed a bit muted, and didn't evoke the same response that it used to. Definitely a 4 star listen, not 5 stars. Listened again at home at the correct volume and on decent speakers. Of course it's 5 stars. Outstanding from start to (almost) finish. The only weak song being Endless, Nameless which I have never enjoyed. TL;DR I was wrong, and my earphones are not good.
5.0
As a kid I remember being drawn to this album in my mom's CD collection by the cover. Certainly iconic and provocative in its own right. Even though I was exposed to the album at a young age, I really can only think of having listened to it straight through a handful of times. Looking at this track listing, it is incredible. Of the 13 songs, I think only about 5 never got broad exposure. Album opens with the song that launch Nirvana's career like a rocket: Smells Like Teen Spirit. Fantastic song with punchy drums, a nice heavy riff, bassline you can groove against, and inane lyrics shouted with such confidence they almost make sense. I enjoyed that in a book I was reading with time traveling elements, the main character used the lyrics of this song to convince another that he was from the future (Recursion by Blake Crouch if you need a solid sci-fi read). In Bloom is rooted around a burbling bassline, and has always been one of my favorites from Nirvana. The drum fills just hit so right alongside Cobain's strained vocals. Come As You Are drops the power-riff facade of the first two tracks in favor of a stripped away bass-heavy melody. I view Breed like a hill-bomb. It comes roaring out of the gates and is nonstop until you're at the bottom. Hard not to jam along to. Hands over to Lithium that offers immediate relief from that torrent. I love this song and its oscillation between stripped down "coffee shop" sections and power-riff grunge sections. Polly is a super bleak acoustic song. I've always been uneasy when I hear it, and looking at the inspiration (rape and torture of a 14 year old girl) I feel justified. The megahits are certainly front-loaded on this one, but the back half is rewarding in its depth. Territorial Pissings is an angsty thrash of a song in a similar vein of Breed. Stay Away is another punkier drum and bass slap. Something in the Way has had something of a revival ever since the latest Batman movie. It is a tender and genuine song that really stands out against the otherwise grunge and angst of the album. Love it. Album closes on appropriately named Endless, Nameless. Just a sludge of a track filled with reverb, tuned down bass, and some incoherent shouting. I'm not really sure it needed to go on record, but I also really don't mind it; it seems on brand. Listening back on this one, I think what jumps out to me is just how solid the song writing is. They wrote such catchy and unique melodies. On top of that, the production is top-notch with a mix that gives the impression that this is being played within a confined garage. Nirvana showed an ability to balance between genres while tapping into punk influences. This is a great record and its hard to imagine the world today without it. 5 / 5 - Breed (Skate Mix, Driving) - Stay Away (Skate Mix)
Another classic. Smells Like Teen Spirit is their most overplayed song and for good reason. Just a fun song. I have played In Bloom about a 100 times on Rock Band since you need to beat it to move on to a ton of songs. Such a great singalong. Forgot how chock filled of jams this album has. Come As You Are was an anthem for me as a wee lad. The drums and fuzzy bass leading into Breed hype me up so much. Lithium is another that I grew up obsessing over. The back and forth between chill bassline and heavy everything is sick. Polly is a sad one but shows what they can do minimally and foreshadowing into how to arrange some of these songs acoustically like in the MTV Unplugged album. Territorial Pissing is the definition of angsty music and I'm here for it. Was running around the house for the rest of these but this album is critically and commercially huge and rightfully so. The only song that I don't love on it is Endless, Nameless, but I get not ending this album with a somber and "quiet" song and it fits. Honestly everyone kills it on this record. Dave on da drums, Krist slappin da bass, and of course Kurt rockin on the guitar with his hoarse voice that fits the music perfectly.
Think its one of Colins favorite albums I felt the album was front heavy with songs I like and then the past two songs were great.- Willis
Absolutely top drawer.
I think this was the first album that I listened to because I thought it would make me cool. I was right. 5/5
Sees todays album. *gasp of excitement*
This one really takes me back. I remember my friend bringing this CD over to my house the summer going into 6th grade. What a game-changer. Suddenly the overly coiffed “hair bands” were SO uncool. Grunge ruled the airwaves and culture in general, trading neon colors and spandex for flannel and combat boots. Kurt Cobain died on my 14th birthday, and I remember Courtney Love’s statement that was SO angry and sad at the same time. That was just 3 years after this album, yet Nirvana continued to have an impact for many years thereafter. I agree that the album is front-loaded, but the first half is SO good and impactful, it makes up for the fizzle at the end.
This album was released in 1991, my first year of middle school. MTV or radio was the only way to access new music. When I saw Smells like Teen Spirit music video I remember thinking this is a game changer. The hair bands, superstars and mega rockstars mostly filled the airwaves. Now a group of angst ridden regular guys are rocking in jeans and flannels at a gymnasium. Anyway, this and other factors came together to shape the culture I would spend my high school years, basically what the media would call grunge. I saved up my $13 and walked up to Sam Goody to buy the CD which I still have. I can remember listening and being a little disappointed overall and moved on to other bands. Upon re listening again all these years later, I still feel that excitement when smells like teen spirt starts the album. The album seems front loaded and trails off for me. Seemed a style they used often was the softer song verse leading to the loud chorus…it works. For me it was much like that 30 years ago, I can’t say I will put it on again, maybe in another 30 years. But what the album did culturally and especially the memories of seeing smells like teen spirt music video for the first time, with some other really good songs early on the album, I’m going to have to give the album a 5.
another album ive been knew before and im glad its here, nirvana slaps, this album slaps, i want kurt cobain to slap me, i am living my grunge fantasy, yes
Very much a classic voice of a generation blah blah blah
Just a mf classic, so many bangers
A fucken classic, very few if any skips.
Really a perfect grunge album. Each song feels special and iconic.
Crazy to hear an album where I’m pretty sure I’ve heard 75% of the songs on the radio at some point. Receiving both in back to back days I think I prefer In Utero. This is still a fantastic album.
Really good album, the last song is not good imo but the rest is wonderful.
Great!
I jammed so much to this on the 90s. Bring on the Grunge era! I don't need to listen to again it too know it's good, but I will because it's THAT good.
I was 18 years old. And a college freshman. I mean I may know this album a wee bit. 5
Favorite Tracks: Smells Like Teen Spirit In Bloom Come As You Are Something In The Way
Grunge at its finest
Be still my teenage heart. What can you say about this album that hasn’t already been said? I’m pro-Nirvana. Pro Seattle music. I get that their rise to fame and the current resurgence in their popularity belies their identity and philosophy. But I can’t imagine a world where Nirvana doesn’t impact music after 1991. What would we be? I am firmly in the camp of those who consider this a game-changing album. Listening to it I'm reminded of the scene in Almost, Famous when Zooey Deschanel defends Simon and Garfunkel by calling it poetry and Frances McDormand responds that it’s the poetry of sex and drugs. I feel like I had similar arguments with my own parents about this album. And they came of age in the 60s! Who knows. I can’t explain Billie Eilish, so maybe it all comes around.
Good classic already.
Listened a million times as a kid, still sounds great today. what a voice.
Awesome, of course lol
I don't have anything clever to say, it's an awesome album and it's incredible just how much every song slaps. Can't quite pin-point why it doesn't get the full 5 for me, maybe it's because every song is so strong individually that it's harder to appreciate them within the context of the album, or maybe it's that the songs have been played so much they've lost a little magic. Fav track: In Bloom 4.5/5
Stone cold classic. With something so totemic, sometimes it's hard to discern your feelings about it later on, especially placing it in the context of this project and other albums of influence around it. What makes this better than some of the more middling grunge and altrock we've seen here? I won't theorise but this was a thrilling listen, coming back to it after quite some time. Deceptively layered but retains so much raw energy. At times it's harrowing. Cobains voice loses none of its dynamism and power. Four and a half. Fave track: In Bloom
These albums that have been so endlessly praised in the past are hard to write about. I either feel like I’m being controversial or an unoriginal freaky little duck. Well, quack quack! Insane this is one album and not a greatest hits. Ridiculous track list from start to finish. Four and a half. Fave track: Lithium
Great album
Life changing.
Great album
duplicate
parar pra escutar isso de novo é sempre uma benção
This album has some of the most iconic songs of the 90s so I don’t really agree with others saying it’s overrated. There is a couple of filler tracks but overall it is a powerful album with amazing songwriting, playing and production. It could be a 4 for me as it drags a bit, but it is easily a 5 in comparison to some of the absolute shit on this list
This was quite simply the album that got me into music in the first place. I'd never heard anything like it before when I was first exposed to it. The radio and other kids in school were focused on pop music and Nirvana seemed to have come out of nowhere. 'Nevermind' is considered the archetype of grunge music but Nirvana were so much more than that. There was punk, noise, antiestablishment, anti-sexism. Cobain was defiantly questioning absolutely everything my young mind knew about the world and I loved it. I can still feel the surge of excitement over this discovery and how much it shook me. From here, I found a whole world of different genres and artists that I never knew existed. But my journey started with 'Nevermind'.
Whimsical Endless, Nameless sounds SO SICK and wavy with headphones
This was the album of my early high school years. I wore this one out.
Banger after absolute banger to start the album off, but tapers towards the end. WTF is up with Endless, Nameless? That seems like a throwaway garbage track perhaps thrown in at the end to boost up the total album minutes or something? A "filler" track. Definitely a classic, captures the angsty vibes of the era and grunge scene. Iconic album art.
Foundational album for grunge and alt rock. Loved it
good album
Not a fan of grunge myself, but that's a mighty good album! Packed with strong songs without a single miss, 'Nevermind' is a cornerstone of 90's rock.
Muy buen disco con tonadas muy rockeras
Obvious classic
Landmark album. What else needs to be said.
It can't keep up the level of the first few tracks, but then what could
One of the records that started my musical journey. Without doubt very influential on youths
1000!!!!
Best grunge album of all time
Album that defined a generation.
Easy 5, and it's not even their best album!
good
Soooo goood!
Album rocks! I remember buying the bleach album on a field trip. I missed going to a music shop. You would listen to it front and back. Open up the catalog and look at the lyrics and artwork. Damn!
I didn’t love Nirvana when I first heard this album. The mtv unplugged album won me over. I now love both versions and any version I hear of these songs. Speaking of influential, this album really went on to define the 90s and alternative rock. So much creativity and talent in Grohl and Cobain. I often think what could have happened musically if Kurt Cobain lived. Rest in peace Kurt!
🤘🏽
Such a great album
great
Still perfect.
I knew it was gonna be great, but it still blew me away. Besides every song being great, be that from a songwriting point or just by the band beeing in complete synthony and complimenting eachother perfectly, the album also flows amazingly and invonkes this incredibly unique and hawting feeling. (As a side note I had never heard territorial pissings, that song is amazing)
Great memories arise
Literally THE 90s album. I can’t rate this anything but a 5. You can’t really say anything new about it, it’s so iconic and influential. Everybody should listen to this at least once. Amazing album.
I've loved this one for nearly 30 years.
WOW: This may be one of the greatest albums of all time. Countless hits on here, all of which I already have listened to more times to count. It is a shambles I haven't listened to this already. Very few if any skips here. Will definitely be in my rotation some more.
Really great
Everyone needs this album in their collection. I’m grateful for 1001albumsgenerator because you remind me of some of the vinyl I have stashed away and haven’t played in a while. This one’s a winner.
What more can be said? Still classic.
I was so happy to finally watch these music videos in HD. They're really spectacular. Nirvana is at its core just a really smart band with great songs. If you can forget for a minute the obvious tragic narrative surrounding Kurt Cobain, which dominated their entire catalogue for me, the material really opens up.
This album sucks. Jk it’s pretty fire 🔥
A great classic
awesome rock album I love Navarba
the quintessential grunge album even though in utero is kinda better
Goat
What to say. Formative. Coalesced. Unhinged. Cathartic.
I know it's been overplayed now, but when this came out EVERYTHING changed - for the better. The opening 34 seconds of this album define the 90s. They opened up a world of interesting music and us indie kids had a bigger place in the world. Was lucky enough to see them live touring this album. Credit should go to Butch Vig for how good this album sounds. It would have been easy for this just to be another loud angry underground release, but he gave it some polish. Fine material to work with too in the songwriting too - this isn't just some 3 chord punkrock screaming. Drums pound and the bass just locks in, and that guitar tone is the sound of flannelette and unwashed hair. Nothing technically difficult compared to the hair metal contemporaries, but perfect none the less. Hadn't played this start to finish for years, but glad I did. Could live without 'Endless, Nameless' but every other track is a winner.
This one is literally my teenagehood
not for me
Absolute banger I listened to it all day at work (super ironic). Toward the end some songs weren’t my favorite but no doubt the album as a whole is amazing.
Big boi’s was a fun af listen that I think I will revisit. Andre 3000’s I appreciated more than I liked although there were ofc some bangers on there
Perfect album. Perfect song after perfect song. There's a reason this one's classic.
Amazing album
Great album
One of the greatest albums of all time
Easily a 4/5. Dave Grohl on drums gets it an additional point alone, but there's some cool genre switching in here along with a couple of dark concept songs. Totally forgot how much of an absolute banger Lithium is. Near perfect.
Fantastic and will always be a classic!
All time classic of the genre
One of my favorite albums. Sure it suffers a bit from being really just one sound for an entire album, but... that one sound was groundbreaking.
Love it!!!
Loud quiet song structures. The perfect guitar fuzz sound. Vocals oozing with angst. A grunge masterpiece.
#51. There's not really much to be said here that hasn't been said many times before. This album changed popular music and defined the sound of a generation 5/5: perfection
I never really liked Nirvana. I think I was born just a few years too early. But re-listening to it (probably for the first time in 20 years), I forgot how many singles were on this album. That and I just know all the songs...
A perfect rock album and a great introduction into mainstream 90s grunge.
Nevermind is more than just an album, it is a cultural phenomenon. Nirvana captured the spirit of a generation with their raw, powerful, and honest music. I have been a fan of Nirvana since I was a teenager, and I still admire their courage and creativity to this day. This album is timeless, it sounds as fresh and relevant as ever. Every song is a classic, from the iconic Smells Like Teen Spirit to the haunting Something in the Way. Nevermind is the masterpiece of alternative rock, and one of my all-time favourite albums. I couldn’t not give this 5 stars.
Every song in this album is arguably a hit. Even though they have genres that normally bore me fast, like metal or hard rock, they manage to keep me engaged and wanting to listen to more. I especially liked the drums in this album, I thought it gave some songs something more special. All in all, it's a very good album.
Intemporel.
Classic for a reason. Pas réécouté en entier depuis longtemps, et je lui trouve bizarrement plus de profondeur que dans mon souvenir. C'est certes du rock bourrin/crado, mais avec pas mal d'équilibre entre les pistes, qui sont toutes assez différentes, et avec parfois de belles ballades torturées. Globalement je trouve que c'est très travaillé pour donner l'apparence d'un rendu à l'arrache. Easy 5.
Classic
Banger after banger. This album is as close to perfect as you can get.
We think of the 90s as grunge era, but grunge was only a small part of what was a wild musical style decade. It killed hair metal (yay!) but was itself usurped by nu-metal in just a few short (boo!). Even though grunge, Nirvana, and Cobain himself were short-lived, the excitement and musical shift this album helped usher in was incredible. The raw noise and loose sloppiness of this album can’t hide the pop sensibilities and incredible ear for melody these guys had.
I have listened to this album one million times
I live in Seattle, come on man.
One of the most important albums of my life time. This album single handily changed the popular music scene from party glam metal to hard rock. I love this album.
Breed, Lithium,
The heroes of my teens. I don't listen to them anymore, but this album will always be a masterpiece. I heard it after many years - still great.
Klassiker, immer noch gut aber nicht bestes Nirvana Album
Absolutely mammoth. Epic. I had to throw this album on the big speakers. Born in the mid-80s, I was too young to fully understand and immerse myself in Nirvana-dom, but I'll never forget the first time my father bought this tape and eventual CD. The first time I heard "Come as You Are" sitting in the family van was life changing. Then the first time I heard "The Hit" on my dad's big stereo... when the drums came in was partly terrifying because I'd never heard such sounds just come roaring out before and it was exhilarating. I also remember talking about what guitar effects Kurt was using for "Come as You Are" with a family friend when we were kids. This album changed everything for me and it was visceral.
One of the best rock albums of the 90s/all time.
Masterpiece, one of my favourite albums
Great album with every song having its own uniqueness.
Perfect album. Nirvana managed to combine a heavy rock sound with a sensibility for riffs and melodies that is matched by almost no one. Kurts voice is amazing, the songwriting is great - one of the best albums of all time.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is great. It does not remind me of the ads for Pan (which I liked so it's fine). Everyone likes Nirvana, right? Rock classic. There were definitely songs on this album I'd never heard or haven't heard much, which was fun. All fitting the Nirvana sound. What poor kid got photographed for this album cover? Where is he at now? I like the "WaOHwaOHwaOH" kinda sound in the beginning of Breed. Lithium is good. Angsty. Polly feels like a rock n roll dad reading you a bedtime story. On A Plain is a good play on words. Terretorial Pissings is an excellent title. Stay Away really resonated with how I felt at work today. Let me shout that out to all the homies here. I like the Endless, Nameless screamo/metal style. Hearkens back to my high school days. I like that Spotify took me to Green Day when this album ended too. :) Great flow.
yippee I love nirvana! smells like teen spirit goes tremendously hard it's such a legendary song. come as you are is another leg, absolutely scrumptious bass. The nostalga adds to the enjoyment, the songs I never heard before are just fine. territorial pissings is real fun! more energy than other songs here. something in the way is much slower and more somber than the other songs, I like it too. endless nameless has some pretty interesting sounds. I just know nirvana went crazy as live music. legendary music, really defined grunge as a genre and will be loved for a long time.
This is a sweet album with some really fantastic songs. There were actually more songs here that I didn't know but I recognized them as they went on. Smells Like Teen Spirit and Something In The Way are incredible. I think these songs are so outstanding that it really puts the rest of this album to shame. In Bloom was also really great, I love the grunge and emotion put into every part of this song. Come As You are is also quite nice, I like the simple yet solid guitar line. Breed was a head banger as well, a little higher energy than the rest. There were some repetitive parts but they were welcome if you are vibing to it. Lithium was pretty rad but it sounded quite samey to the rest of the album. Polly was very mellow but I enjoyed the change of pace. Going straight into Territorial Pissing was not my favorite, it's a little too harsh and violent for my taste. It's definitely not a bad song though. Drain you seemed like a super early version of Smells like Teen Spirit. Of course I didn't think it was the best song on this album but it's very listenable. As a closing note, this album had a very cohesive style, but my favorite song is "Something In The Way" which goes slightly out of the normal tendencies of this album. Really stands out to me, not only as the best songs in the album but one of the best songs in general.
This album opens with Smells Like Teen Spirit which is probably Nirvana's best song. Or at least most popular. In Bloom is about me. I'm definitely a fair weather fan of Nirvana. I've never really listened to their music actively, just experienced it through life, guitar hero, and memes. Come As You Are and Lithium are classics. Polly is dark as hell but doesn't sound like it. Drain You is hilariously gross. Something In The Way really makes you feel like Batman. Endless, Nameless devolves into to great noise rock which I'm definitely in to. This album is hailed as the best grunge album ever or whatever. 5 stars. RIP Kurt Cobain.
Classic album, not much more to say
Instant classic. Plays like a greatest hits with a few odd outlier songs
Might be the single most automatic rating in this book. Picking a favorite track on here is a fool's errand
Awe yeah, a great album.
Amazing album, can't go wrong with nirvana.
Sweet sweet perfection
Probably my favorite nirvana album beside unplugged. So many great songs on here.
They don't waste any time getting to it on this one. It opens with Smells Like Teen Spirit, which is probably the most iconic song of the '90s (I just looked up what Rolling Stone has to say, and they agree). I had heard a few other songs previously, but I was really impressed (but not surprised) by how good this is start to finish. It's raw and emotionally charged, but still comes across as really polished at the same time. Cobain is obviously an incredibly talented and troubled artist, and he just brings so much emotion and desperation throughout. I was probably listening to the drummer a bit more than I normally do too since it's the rare case where I know who it is, but obviously incredible talent as well. I don't have a lot to say about this one that hasn't been said. Some albums just seem to capture a moment in time, and this one feels like the best stand-in for the early 90s grunge era overall. It holds up really well though, and I think still comes across as powerfully as it would have 32 years ago. Favorite song: Smells Like Teen Spirit Other: In Bloom, Come As You Are, Breed, Lithium, Polly, Drain You, Stay Away, On A Plain, Something In The Way, Endless Nameless 11/2/23
A classic
A classic for a reason. Very strong hits and non-hits are also very good.
Top tier - easy five stars. This album single-handedly changed rock forever. With strong beats, Kurt Cobain's voice, and plenty of power chords, Nevermind by Nirvana is the cornerstone of the grunge genre. This is a fantastic album and the first three tracks are infamous.
Secret song is stupid. Rest of the album is excellent.
Fabulous!
I was never a big fan of Nirvana. I didn't really pay this album to much mind when it came out because I thought it was too popular and overplayed. I heard enough of it without spending any more of my personal time listening to this. But even then, as now, I would concede that Nevermind is a masterpiece, possibly one of the greatest single albums of all time.
Already knew every song except the experimental one at the end.
Influence of this album can't be overstated. Iconic. Despite some of the songs being overplayed to death, the album holds up. The fusion of raw angst, meaningful songwriting, catchy melodies and great production is what elevates this.
my ear hurts
Finally 1001 albums thank you
Never better.
I’m so horny. That’s Ok, my Willy’s good.
here we are now
worse tham ten by pearl jam but still gppd also overrated
As near perfect as an album can get.
Nothing else to be said.
The "oh, I know this song" simulation. Hard to distinguish whether I really like it or am nostalgic about it. Surprising amount of gun references. Interesting to hear a lot of stuff that became a staple in music for years to come. Definitely more listener-friendly than some if their other stuff: Hairspray Queen still haunts me 16 years later. Territorial Pissings intro is pure gold. It is now time to make it unclear
Это классика, 9 из 10. Неповторимый звук и атмосфера. Я еще помню, как этот альбом звучал живо и свежо, когда я был ребенком и даже когда был подростком. Сейчас кажется, что они поют уже из совсем другого времени, для других людей, про другие проблемы. Альбом очень мощный, но его мощь мне показалась дневниковой записью, будто читаешь записки солдата с какой-нибудь древней войны: и войны уже нет, и стороны поменялись, и ненависть прошла, и все давно забыто, остался только этот слепок эмоций — одновременно вечный и человеческий, и застрявший в своем времени.
Yeah I want his dirty grungy babies 5/5
In Utero may be flawed, Bleach may be too raw; Nevermind is bang on. Though it may have inspired many second and third-rate imitators, who keep thrashing through the same four chords of Smells Like Teen Spirit in a grainy cover video again, Nevermind, more than any album of the 90s, set the contours of the decade to come. Since 1991, no teenage coming-of-age has been left unaffected by this album. And no wonder. Each track is an anthem for the disaffected. Each song is a crushing mix of drums, bass, guitar, angst and unflinching hooks. Ryan Schreiber is right. "Anyone who hates this record today is just trying to be cool, and needs to be trying harder."
Iconic and love
Duh
Classic
The perfect intersection of noise and tunes
A classic 👌
Not many albums do I vividly recall listening to the very first time but this one I do. Sitting in my friends dorm room at the University of Idaho, a few us huddle around a cheap Panasonic cd boombox came music that was uniquely different but at the time felt as warm and familiar like a old blanket. When it finished playing all of us knew this was something special, didn't realize just how much, it was the end of 80s rock.
This album created a tectonic shift of the zeitgeist. I had been listening for a decade to the bands and music that influenced and gave rise to Nirvana but when this record came out it blew my mind. Rage, angst, depression, heartbreak, even mocking of the poseurs at their shows - it’s a brilliant record from start to finish.
I don't think there was an album that had a bigger impact on my teen years. This is a fantastic album. There was a time where you could hear almost any song off of this on the radio.
Was there a more impactful album on the landscape of music, especially in the 90s? Changed the entire conversation. It also helps that it's an amazing album. Every song is great, the pure energy and angst, the raw emotion dripping from every line. I have listened to this album more times than I can possibly count and I don't see that trend changing anytime in my life.
It’s a really good album, some say one of the best over made, I would agree with that. The fact that Nirvana was so unique that they were categorize in their own genre just makes them sound interesting. This album just makes you wanna put on a long sleeve sweater and hang your guitar low.
An album that changed a generation, and still sounds fresh and relevant today. The hits are well known, but the dee cuts are just as strong.
hivemind arvostelusivu taas, mutta sentään ei ole väärässä heh. jos lukija ei siis ymmärrä, tämä teksti on objektiivisuutta parhainmilllan ja tämän mielipiteen saa luvan ottaa omakseen myös. erittäin hieno poppi gruöunge sanantoistu jipii albumi. lähestulkoon jokainen biisi muistettavaa. teen spiritttikin vituttaa minimaalisesti kuin vertaa montako kertaa se siellä radio rokissa pelaa something in thee way
An absolute Classic - no introduction needed here. :)
One of the greatest openings of an album. - Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the greatest grunge songs of all time. - Come as you are is great at it's lyrics and melody. The agressive and soothing melody fits perfectly with the song's theme. - "Today i've found my friends, they're in my head." - "Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman." - "Something in the way, yeah." - Phenomenal album, if i could describe it with only one word, it would be 'freedom'.
Kicking myself for not listening to when I was younger. Great album
always good no skip no need for further comments
Foundational to grunge mania.
"I feel stupid, and contagious" significa o ápice da formação adolescente em rock. Sequencia irreparável para audições em profusão.
Classic Grunge
its a pretty epic album, i am headbanging to it. i dont necessarily want to sit down and listen to it though.
An easy 5 stars
I listened to this one so much in the 90s that I can recite the lyrics in my sleep.
Reassuringly as good, catchy, rock, emotional and fun as I remembered. Dave Grohl's drumming is tremendous. There just aren't many heavy rock/pop albums that are as listenable and as accessible. Worth the plaudits.
cel mai cunoscut, așa că știam deja aproape toate melodiile, ceea ce a mai luat din noutate, având în vedere că melodiile astea sunt răscântate și răsdifuzate. dar o experiență frumoasă oricum! n-ai cum să îi dai mai puțin de 5 steluțe, albumul ăsta nu o să moară niciodată și melodiile vor suna mereu actual:)<3 versuri perfecte, instrumentalul complimentează, per total un sentiment unic pe care îl ai doar la nirvana!!:)
Paikka parhaiden albumien joukossa ansaittu.
Yks kaikkien aikojen lempparilevyistäni. Loppuu tähdet kesken. Täydellisyyttä hipova.
First of all, I want to apologize for giving "In Utero" a 4/5. I've eventually come to realize that it's a better album than this one, and that they're both 5/5s. Defined a generation. Don't trust people who call it overrated - they're worms in disguise. Every time I come back to this album, I find myself enjoying the abrasive songs like "Territorial Pissings" and "Endless, Nameless" more and more. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is still a classic, but there's just something about Kurt Cobain screaming random words into my ear that scratches a weird part of my brain. That's probably why "Scentless Apprentice" is my favorite "In Utero" track.
beh capolavoro. Ci sono "Smells like teen spirit", "Come as you are", "Lithium" e "territorial pissings"
This album's angst, noise, and brilliance continues to live on. From the absolute banger opening on Smells Like Teen Spirit to the angst scream to the void that is Endless, Nameless, Cobain and Co. created a cacophony of sounds that still blow me away. I've never been a big fan of Cobain's singing, but it's the music that makes it almost a moot point. A fantastic album, a 4.5, but I'll give it a five because a 4 just seems wrong.
Perfect
Iconic classic, haven’t listed to it for a while as most of side A is regular FM classic rock radio play. But it’s still one of my favourites. Really like the run of Territorial Pissings to Drain You to On a Plane.
1. Smells like Team Spirit 2. Lithium 3. Come as you are
Already loved this
Gives me a weird mix of nostalgic and just catharsis cause this has always been in the background of what is considered angst for my generation. For that same reason it’s ironically hard to associate with super intense angst because it is so mainstream. In reality it has become a feel good album when I want to pretend I’m angsty. 5.
Nothing really needs to be said. It the most outstanding record of its generation.
an essential album that shaped grunge and music in general like no other. Every song from the legendary opening track to the great closer "Something in the Way" is either near perfect or prefect. fav: Smells like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are, Lithium, Something in the Way least fav: Lounge Act or On a Plain (if I had to pick) no joke this is a 10/10
Yep. Easily. 5/5
Rating: 4.7
Classic, nostalgic, easily likeable. One of Nirvana's best albums.
Invented a new genre, fantastic drums and vocals
I remember hearing this album for the first time and I’ll never forget it. It’s one of those albums.
Even though I'm really familiar with this album, it still rocks. The first half is practically flawless. The raw energy of punk, with alternative structures and poppy melodies, optimised for mass appeal. Favourites: In Bloom, Breed, Lithium, Territorial Pissings, Something in the Way.
Woot!
The first half of the album is one of the greatest accomplishments in music ever. Not only rock music. The second half is toned down a bit. But Nirvana really found the balance here. It's pretty much perfect and there was so much bands in the 90's that tried to copy their sound.
This is actually sick bro Already Heard many times tho but its fine
Nothing to add here. Except possibly that Nirvana Unplugged is - shush - a more enjoyable album to listen to. About as easy to say something original about this album now as about Sgt Pepper.
All time classic.
