Utterly fucking dreadful.
Didn’t like this. It sounded too noisy and raucous. I give this 1 star.
I never gave Nirvana any real attention before (they came on the scene after my musical tastes were locked in), and this album certainly isn't going have me running to update my playlist. A song called "Rape Me?" Really?
Awful. Alternates between screaming and mumbling over background noisy distortion. Can't tell what the lyrics are so no comment on whether they were interesting
Lots of screaming.
Nirvana is loud. And I am Janna and I don’t like it
Only listened to half, this is not for me. Too heavy and rock for my liking
Not for me. I like the songs that were released as singles back in the 1990s more for nostalgia than anything else.
One of the worst things I’ve ever heard He’s just screaming
Too emo and grunge. Not something I'll listen to again.
Just not for me. Gave me a headache
Definitivamente Nirvana no es un estilo que me guste. En este disco hubo un par de temas que no me disgustaron (entre ellos Rape Me), pero nada memorable en mi opinión.
First impressions, not great. Sounds like a band in my neighbors garage. The second song screaming into a $19.99 lavalier microphone... It sounds awful. Ear rape is an expression I really want to use. Normally I’d be worried about being canceled but there is a song called “Rape Me” in this album which feels appropriate. The main signer sounds like he just had his wisdom teeth pulled and the novacaine hasn’t warn off. “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter” has some of the worst noises I’ve ever heard in a song. Crazy awful feedback that people somehow found enjoyable. This is music you listen too when you want to spite your parents while doing meth in an abandoned house. As I keep listening to this album it keeps getting worse. 1.3
There's just so much hype around nirvana and I don't get it.
no. just no.
What exactly was going on in the 90s that Nirvana got so popular? It just sounds so annoying.
Dreadful. Glorified singles band.
Nirvana fans like to claim this album is "raw" and "noisy" and less poppy than Nevermind, but while it maybe aims for that, it just falls flat. They're aiming for energy, just it all seems very carefully constructed, which boring, uninspired and recycled riffs, and it just ends up sounding boring. I'll admit that there are a few songs here that aren't as bad as the radio-friendly ones that I was familiar with (Rape Me, All Apologies and Heart-Shaped Box), but not by much, and a few of the others still lean into the sound of those three songs that I hate. I forgot every song as soon as it finished playing. The whole album is just boring and formulaic with the whole soft/loud thing. This is not really related to this album, but one thing that pisses me off the most about Nirvana is how everything about them is about pretending to be better than they are, both for the fans and the band themselves. They act like they're more raw and abrasive than they are (especially when it comes to this album), like they're more profound than they are, that they're less mainstream, less poppy, like they have more credibility than they actually deserve, like they weren't willingly part of the same music industry they pretended to hate and criticize. Fans like to claim this is the album that proves that Nirvana is more than the radio-friendly sellout pop band that made Nevermind, but that's just not true, and I don't understand why, of all bands, this is the one whose dick everyone has decided to suck for all eternity. If this album was made by another band, maybe it could have been a 2. But I'm docking a point because they're the most overrated band of all time.
The authentic rock sound they were looking for is great, if only they also had some songs to go with it.
Just not a big fan of grunge music. Dumb had some nice sounding parts but that song was the exception not the rule. Some of the songs in the middle of the album were tolerable but bookending songs like “tourettes” were hard listens. All apologies was nice and I added it to liked songs with dumb so at least the song didn’t leave the album with a bad taste in my mouth.
Dull, dreary. Might have been cutting edge at the time - but it feels sadly out of its era now. Not exciting at all (bar the one song)
Se eu quisesse ouvir alguém berrando eu ouvia as dúvidas na minha cabeça. A única estrela vai para All Apologies.
Bad and then at 'Rape Me' it got so much worse. I've looked into why the song was written but for me the song is completely unacceptable and was horrible to listen to.

Kunne ønske det gikk an å gi 0. Adrenalinet koker når jeg hører Kurtern gnåle "Pennoroyal teeeeeaaaaaaaaa". Likte det når jeg var 15 da.

Could not get through a single song & the 2/3 that I did get through were a painful struggle. Perhaps I'm just not into "grunge" but this album was not appealing. With that being said, I did somewhat enjoy heart-shaped box & dumb.
Great
