To me, this feels like a perfect example of all the correct elements coming together. All the individual elements here are good to great on their own, but together really feel like a perfect blueprint for the genre. Smells like Teen Spirit and the impact of Kurt Cobains death feel like they culturally overshadow the actual accomplishments of the band a lot of the time in my opinion. Especially when there are multiple tracks on here that I prefer over the opener (Come as you Are is definitely my favourite of theirs). It would feel as insincere as a white girl in a Dark Side of the Moon shirt to not give this album the respect it deserves due to its popularity Highlights: Come as you Are, In Bloom, Stay Away
