Advantages: Offers an insight into the most influential band of the 90`s, perfectly captures the comercial appeal of the great Nirvana Disadvantages: Serious Nirvana fans can become disilusioned by the lack of angst in some of the songs.
...to a much greater degree, Nevermind offers its own more accessible piece of the unique piece of history which is Nirvana. And now to a selection of the tracks...
Smells Like Teen Spirit as I have allready discussed is the song that sparked off an entire rebel teen culture. This song has been described as the anthem of the 90`s. The song starts slow with its instantly recognisable riff and then it explodes into pure fury and passion, which is then ... ...of the strangest songs on Nevermind and it is perhaps because of this and its super catchy riff which makes it one of the most memorable. It is a simple song but it is full of the melody and harmony that the best Nirvana songs are associated with. It is pretty difficult to describe the song - if you have not heard it then it will be unlike anything you have ever heard before - but the lyrics do provide an insight into the song. The beginning lyrics ...

Advantages: great sounds Disadvantages: not as good as in utero
Nevermind is a great album with stunning intros outros and solos by kurt cobain and even dave grohl on the drums. The songs have great lyrics and great sounds from the whole band to back them up. The best song on the album i feel is Breed or drain you but thats my opinion.
With the voice of kurt and the drumming of dave the whole album brings together to make 1 of their best albums. I find in utero and better album but nevermind had the potential ...

Advantages: Classic tracks Disadvantages: No more like this 'coz Kurt Kobain shot himself
Grunge is Nirvana. Nirvana is Grunge. The type of music that Nirvana play is called grunge, and it is like a cross between metal and punk, with some ska-punk* in there too. This album is easily the best album that Nirvana ever did, mainly because it has the likes of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Breed" on. My favourite tracks are "Breed" and "Terriatorial Pissings" and they are definitely classics in their own right.
However, the album isn't just ... ...12 (I've forgotten the name of it now) which is very mellow and sad and slow. They are good to listen to loud though, and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is definitely a good one to have on at a party.
Having said these great things, the album doesn't really have much variety on and it does get a little bit boring. It still can lighten up your day though...
*Ska-punk is skate punk, like Greenday. ...

Advantages: The definitive Grunge album, that defined a generation Disadvantages: It's stereotyping of being a product of 'selling-out'
1991. Three men produced 12 tracks that have been immortalised in music folklaw. The belief that 'Teen Spirit' was the anthem for a generation. Generation-X. Is no exaggeration. Far from it in fact.
But don't let me lull you into thinking it is a one-track wonder album. Every track, from the adreniline-pumping 'Breed', the hypnotising 'Come As You Are', and right through to the sombre and mesmeric 'Something In The Way', has there own following. ... ...the following for 'In Bloom'. It's ironic lyrics and grinding solo are definitive of the grunge movement; followed by so many, yet fronted by Nirvana.
Many would say 'In Utero', punch-for-punch, is the better album from Nirvana, but in truth, the difference between the two is frightening. 'In Utero' is the hangover and bittersweet regret from the night before, 'Nevermind' however, is the party from which it came from. ...

Advantages: music, lyrics need I say more!!! Disadvantages: well, none
The Nevermind album was deservedly voted the best album of the 1990s by the Times Newspaper. Also a guitar magazine voted this album as the best of the millenium. This album brought Nirvana to fame but ironically sowed the seeds of its own decline. The band was pissed of with so called "fans" who were everything Kurt Cobain hated. This view is put across in "In Bloom". This album isn't as pessimistic as In Utero, there are no signs of suicidal lyrics ... ...album is Teen Spirit although Come as you are and Territorial pissings are also some of my favourate Nirvana songs. This album is availiable for £12.99 if you look around and is worth buying at this price. Include a bonus track which is really cool (around 12 minutes into the last track) ...

Everyone has heard of Nirvana right! No doubt about it. Kurt cobain is a legend in most peoples eyes and this is Nirvanas most popular album, taking a break from their original style this album is the album that changed punk and Rock as we know it. No longer are all songs about women and love. Nirvana hit with their most amazing style. The album contains some extremely hard hitting stuff that will always make you jump. A highly recommended album ...

this album is Nirvana's greatest. All the tracks here is very very good that almost all of the songs went into the top charts. The recording is perfect, it really emphasized all the band members potentials. Dave Grohl's drumming was best heard in the song of Smells like teen Spirit and also Kurt Cobain's voice especially during the last part of the song while he was shouting "A denial". I really love listening to it when the recording producers doubled ...

Advantages: Undoubtedly the best album to emerge in rock! Disadvantages: Not enough songs...........I wish they made more on the same album!
One of the best bands to emerge in the 1990's......and one of the best albums to emerge in the 1990s. Kurt Cobain truly shows why he is a GOD!......and that's an understatement. His unique lyrics and voice help to put this album into perspective. ' Come as you are' with the lyrics 'and i swear that i don't have a gun, no i don't have a gun' ------yes Kurt lied .!

This album is not as fantastic as everyone is saying. Whilst it had one or two songs that were very good the rest never seemed to make themselfs heard. None of the songs had any moving lirics and they weren't easy listing either i found them to be load and not cleaver.

Advantages: Their best album, a real benchmark for "Grunge" Disadvantages: Why did it all have to end?
This album has probably been listend to everyone! But its a timeless album in my oppinion and I love it so much I could talk about it, well Nirvana in general really, for a VERY long time! lol
I think this album is like a window to Nirvana and you really get a feel of who they are and what their about, not just the mental turmoil of Cobain himself but the funloving band as a whole.
The best songs on the album, its hard to narrow it down, you listen ... ...every mood, feel like yelling and jumping around like the grunger you are?? Flick to "Smells like teen spirit" You need your hair brush infront of you for this one to enjoy your imaginary rocksuperstar solo fully.
Polly is my personaly favourite on this album, its slow in tempo, but i just love the fact that its unplugged and you can hear Curt's rhasping gritty voice in all its glory, its dark subject matter with excellent use of metaphore is brilliant.

I listened to this album and thought its was great, the lyrics had really meaning and no one has a better rock voice then Kurt Cobain.
I feel this album is for those relaxing times, where your chilling and you put this album on and you really listen and appreciate the goodness created in this album.
They are better albums of nirvanas but to just sit down and really take this album in, its better than you think I believe.

Advantages: Polly Disadvantages: Smells like teen spirit being so commercial
Nirvana truly have delivered one of the album of not just the nineties but of all time. My personal favourite tracks are Polly , Smells like teen spirit (their most commercial track ever) Kurt Cobains lyrics are very simple but very effective in summing up his obvious displeasure at the seedier side of life. He invented grunge and is the king of Rock ‘n’ Roll in the nineties and is a true iconic figure. After his suicide in 1995 nirvana split up ...
