Average Rating: Rating: - A Fantastic Album that Helped Change the Course of Rock The first time that I ever heard Kurt Cobain sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the first time that I saw the video on MTV back in 1991. There was no skintight spandex, no shiny leather, no feathered hair, no expensive sports cars, no drooling scantily-clad women, etc. Instead, there were three average guys in blue jeans and regular shirts rocking harder and better than any 1980's glam-rock band could ever hope to achieve! Songs such as "Come as You Are", "Something in the Way" and "In Bloom" spoke to the average people a lot more than hearing & watching the typical egocentric hair-band paryting in a hotel room. Too much of 1980's pop rock and glam-rock had become predictable and clichÃ©. People needed to hear something different and Nirvana was one of the groups that walked into the spotlight forever changing the sound and shape of rock-and-roll forever! Once Nirvana's "Nevermind" hit the streets (along with albums by Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and other alternative rock bands), 1980's pop rock and glam-rock died in what seemed a only matter of months. Nirvana's "Nevermind" will forever be a powerful testament to rock's revolution against excess. It's an album that will always be in my collection and one that I frequently listen to. Thanks Kurt for bringing rock back to the people. Rating: - Smells like a classic I will start this review by saying that this album has the best cover ever. Before even popping this in you already get an idea of what Nirvana is all about - honestly subversive towards conventional American ideas (the "dung heap of conformity" as Cobain put it) but not without humor (baby penis!). When Nevermind went to #1 on the charts it not only ended the careers of many manufactured pop "artists", it also made "alternative" a huge marketing tool (and now it's generally the way people refer to rock music). Even though it started a decade earlier with The Smiths' self-title and REM's "Murmur", it finally became cool because Nirvana put it in a very accessible form. Nevermind was everything that was missing from music for decades - fun but not contrived pop ("Smells Like Teen Spirit"), rebellion ("God is gay/Burn the flag"), and even a lead singer that was easy to relate to and intelligent but also mysterious and confusing. Borrowing from the Pixies start-then-stop structures, Black Sabbath's grungy riffs, and a Ramones facade, Nirvana put together this album that has inspired countless bands, closely rivaling the Beatles. Right from the memorable riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the mellow "Something in the Way", you are in for a treat that combines all these elements. There are no filler or even forgettable tracks here. Few albums manage to get positive attention from both critics and mainstream listeners and not many 90's albums deserve it more than Nevermind. In Utero might have been a better representation of the Nirvana sound but this is still a fantastic pop album. Buy both. P.S. "Nevermind" should not have got higher than 'Pet Sounds' on the VH1 Best Albums of Rock and Roll countdown. Even Cobain would have resented that. Rating: - One of the best albums...EVER!!! From the ages of 13-16 I was a Nirvana junkie. I owned every CD, read any book or magazine about them, and when Kurt committed suicide -- well, that just gave him god-like status! "Nevermind" is definitely one of the best grunge CDs I've ever heard. While the musical style or songwriting isn't that complex ("Come As You Are" was among of the first songs I learned to play when I started learning guitar), the actual tracks do have some catchy riffs and lyrics among them (anyone who has heard "Lithium" or "Smells Like Teen Spirit" knows exactly what I am talking about). Drummer Dave Grohl is a really solid drummer and I was surprised when he became the frontman for Foo Fighters. He should have stuck with the drumming! Kurt's vocals are raw -- scratchy, growling, and tormented at times (this was even more intenisified on the "In Utero" CD), but this only adds to the overall effect of the CD. The band had an amazing impact on the music scene, and NOT owning this CD would be a major mistake.
