Average Rating: Rating: - Are you nuts?!? Awesome! First off, I almost didn't buy this album because I have all the songs (except for You Know You're Right, of course) on previous Nirvana recordings. Then I heard YKYR on the radio and I almost lost bowel control. The fact that song could sit dormant for eight years astounds me! What else do they have in the vaults?!? Yeah, there's some glaring omissions (at least to me): 'Negative Creep', 'Polly'(!), their cover of 'Love Buzz', 'School', and I really could have done without David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World'. Although the Bowie track is well executed, it didn't seem to fit on a 'best-of' album, ya know? I think their cover of 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' that closed the Unplugged show was more indicative of the Nirvana sound (even though it was done acoustically). I couldn't think of a better way to end a 'best-of' album than with Kurt's howling final chorus on that tune. Also, and I don't wanna sound greedy here, I was expecting a hidden track. Why? 'Cuz it's Nirvana. This would've been a six-star album for me if they had stuck something cool at the end. Oh, I AM being greedy now! Anyway, if you're a huge fan and NEED to own the single 'You know You're Right', then by all means pick this album up. And that's all I have to say about that... Rating: - Great CD for every type of Fan This nirvana cd is a great addition to any Nirvana Fan's collection. It includes the best hits of nirvana and also the newest single from them (recorded right before Cobain's death) "You Know You're Right". It's a great song and really forshadows into Cobain's "suicide". This cd is a must have for any nirvana fan! 1. You Know You're Right (previously unreleased) - This is a TREMENDOUS song, and many nirvana fans will realize the hinting in here of Kurt Cobain's Suicide. Great song, excellent lyrics, and a groovy ending. Might get boring after a while. A- 2. About A Girl - About a girl that he almost went out with in his teenage years. The song is meaningful, and expresses his sadness for the girl. Great song, and Cobain's voice is strong. A 3. Been A Son - EXCELLENT LYRICS. A 4. Sliver - It's ok. Good lyrics, but I think the rythem of the song, and other key aspects may be missing. B+ 5. Smells Like Teen Spirit - This song started nirvana's fame and fortune. While I don't like this song anymore, this song is probably one of Nirvana's best songs ever. It expresses his view of the world, with surprising lyrics, awesome addictivity, and a monster sound. A+ 6. Come As You Are - Great song with amazing rythm. The meaningful lyrics and the awesome bass strings earns this song a good grade. A 7. Lithium - Yet, another song that expresses Cobain's life, and how he views the world. Overall, an excellent song. Editing the part in the song "Yeah, I don't have a god," to "Yeah, I dont have a gun," is ingenious. A 8. In Bloom - Most likely my favorite song from Nirvana's Nevermind album. It discusses the troubles in living a poor and struggling life. Cobain suffered it every day. "Sell the kids for food, Weather changes mood," and "He's the one who likes all the pretty songs And he likes to sing along And he likes to shoot his gun But he knows not what it means," are excellent lyrics. And with some thought, you can really disect them to their true meaning 9. Heart-Shaped Box - This is an excellent song. The lyrics are perfect, and the rythm is excellent, but after a while you get to see the real loopholes in the song. A- 10. Pennyroyal Tea - The first song that really hinted Cobain's suicide. The lyrics are better than perfect, and the meaning of the song is overwhelmingly sad. Such a song deserves more credit than there is available in the world. A++ 11. Rape Me - Great song that does NOT promote rape. Meaningful song. A- 12. Dumb - The song is shrillingly sad. Cobain's smooth, soft, and sad singing really puts the effect on the song that it should have. This is a song about Cobain's highschool life. This song is just as perfect as Teen Spirit. Full credit. A+ 13. All Apologies - Another great song, similar to Penyroyal Tea. Same concept, but not as meaningful or as exciting. Gets boring after a while. A- 14. The Man Who Sold The World - A cover of a David Bowie song. I cant rate this song on meaning since it isn't Cobain's writing, but I think Cobain adds a new demension to the somewhat boring version of Bowie's. In all, GREAT CD and is for every Nirvana fan's collection. Rating: - im a big nirvana fan Being the skeptical nirvana fan that i am, i was strongly questioning getting this album. i thought it was a waste of money. Well, i took the dive and it was well worth it. This album has more good qualities than bad. "You Know You're Right" is a great raw song, the sound quality is great(i'll get back to this). "About a girl" sounds the same, but i'll forgive that. "Been A son" is off of the "BLew EP" and it is much better than the version released for "Incesticide". Its one of my favorites on here. Sliver is another song that sounds the same. However the tracks off of Nevermind (Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Lithium, Come As You Are) sound 100 times better than they did before. I nearly fell off of my bed when "In BLoom" blasted out of my speakers. These songs sound like they were recorded in 2002, i'd rather listen to these remasterings than the originals. "Heart Shaped Box" and "Rape Me" pretty much sound the same to me, maybe a little louder. "Dumb" is much more angelic sounding on this cd. The mix of "Pennyroyal Tea" is a nice way to listen to the song although it sort of lacks some of the bass it had on the studio version (but this version is more raw so i like it better). The unplugged tracks (All Apologies, The Man Who Sold The World) sound like they were recorded in the studio, totally amazing. the talking in between songs was edited out thankfully. The artwork and pictures for the cd were outstanding, although the liner notes could've came from a closer and more knowledgeable source (kurt wasnt to fond of rolling stone so its kind of stupid to get a rolling stone person to write liner notes for a nirvana album). I realize that not everyone can be pleased with a greatest hits album but my biggest complaint is that they could've put more songs on this cd (i.e. Drain You, Polly, Serve The Servents, Breed, Dive). If you call a cd "Nirvana", then you should put more defining songs on the album besides just the hits. Nirvana also had some punkish songs and some weirder songs that should've been included in my opinion. But this is nevertheless a worthwhile purchase and i suggest you buy it.
