Nirvana's best kept secret. I love this album because it doesn't give a fuck about what anyone thinks and didn't feel like they needed to change the game of alt-rock. They just wanted to make heavy and noisy music that sounds awesome. In that way, it feels like the most natural album in their discography, but there's always something going on in this album. The other two maybe iconic (and I do love them too, I probably do prefer them thematically and structurally), but Bleach is Nirvana at their rawest (well, up until In Utero but still not to this degree), and that grabs me every time.
Also, the bass in Love Buzz in the best. _________________
I have often said Nirvana is best as a grungey noise rock band then they are as some sort of “alternative rock revelation” that they are often amounted to. This is the side of Nirvana Kurt tried to keep in mind even as he was effectively forced to evolve when Nirvana became the torch-carriers of grunge— a fact that is obvious in songs like “Territorial Pissings” and “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter” on their consecutive (and more acclaimed) releases. I’m not going to regurgitate what I’ve basically said in every Nirvana thread on BEA so I’ll just leave it at this.
I don't often return to it, simply because it's not a style I love, but the songwriting is thee and it is a great debut. No matter what your thoughts are on this vs Nevermind or In Utero, it's just missing Dave Grohl's drumming. In my opinion of course. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
Meh, I never understood the appeal of this compared to something like Flipper. Yeah, it's distorted and noisy and different from their later work, but it's always sorta felt bland to me.
It's a music I left behind at the end of the nineties. Hadn't listened to it ever since until I relistened some months ago to rate it for the site.
It's an ok album (About a girl and School the best tracks IMO; and love buzz catchy as hell even if not as good as those) but honestly I think it's still apreciated and on the radar for music lovers because of Nevermind and In Utero. If Nevermind's breakthrough hadn't happened who would be listening to Bleach in 2016?
