not terrible, a little boring though. quite predictable nothing hugely outstanding except for Take Me Out which was very good. I'm Cheating On You was also alright. Overall lyrics were very weak i thought.

Good but overrated. Lots of thoughts so...
Songs are incredibly well-produced and guitar tone is delicious. Cobain's vocal performances are extremely impressive both strained and soft.
Smells Like Teen Spirit and In Bloom started the album very strongly but songs became very forgettable as the lyrics are so surreal, the melodies not very catchy and the guitar “riffs” (chord progressions) are similarly dissonant.
After finishing the album I can actually only remember how 4 songs went - SLTS, Come As You Are, Something In The Way (my favourite) and Polly - which I only remember for being so raw against a background of screaming distortion.
It's a good album and I recognise it's cultural and significance but overall, I don't think it's very timeless and I can only give it 3/5. sorry Andrew xo

decent. while I recognise the importance of albums like this in the development of modern music, this one does not hold any sort of timelessness. while it's not bad, the album drags even at it's 25 minute runtime because the song are just all so similar... sorry 3/5

Okay...
I'll start by the saying the instrumentation is pretty good. Drumming is good, guitar is good. Bass seems functional as far as I can tell.
The main flaw of the this album are the god awful lyrics. I'm not much of a lyrics person myself, I normally ignore them to focus on the melody but my god these are bad. If there's some kind of deeper meaning it's too deep for me, sorry. This sounds like nonsense and looks like nonsense when written down. Unfortunately, the terrible lyrics aren't supported at all by the repetitive and boring melody writing. Whereas potentially weak lyrics from a band such as Oasis are passable, with the catchy and enjoyable melodies, these just fall flat.
I truly don't understand the reviews calling this the greatest prog rock/metal of the modern age and/or the 2000s. Go and listen to Porcupine Tree's In Absentia (2002) or Deadwing (2005) or Tool's Lateralus (2001), or The Pineapple Thief's Your Wilderness (2016). Some of my favourites which are miles and miles better than this. Yeah.
2/5

the only mild problem is that is this album is a tad long. but i guess in the context of jumping out of one's head in a club sort of negates that. this album is fucking vibey. i really like it, it's like being locked into a groove for an hour. turning off almost gives the sensation of stepping off a treadmill, the world lurching around you as you find your balance. love it. 5/5
