Just don't get why this is so popular!

The first few tracks are really impactful when played loud. I was also impressed by the album's depth: the whole second half is new to me, it's terrific all the way through and I want to hear it again.

two great songs
the rest is filler

Un album qui a changé les règles du jeu.

A key album in the development of modern alternative music, Nevermind takes the punk energy of Nirvana’s debut and produces the hell out of it. There are slower moments, but these mostly give way into frantic fretwork. Cobain’s throat-shredding vocals are as spine-tingling as ever as are the crunching guitars. Excellent!

Just fantastic

This is very solid grunge album, probably the best in the genre - it has well-written hits packed with anger and punk energy and also intimate acoustic ballads about dark subjects. However it is not as good as it is important, it brought alternative music to the mainstream and ultimately ended the 80s era of synths and glam metal.

Yes, this is one of those albums that really is as good as everyone says it is.

Starts off extremely strong but it slowly tails off the further into the release you go. We open on what is one of the best 6 track runs of all time. It starts with the colossal Smells Like Teen Spirit which is still just as breath taking as it was when it first released. We then get In Bloom, Come As You Are, Breed, Lithium and then Polly with all of them being absolute classics for Nirvana. The energy is infectious right at the start and the listener becomes immediately captivated by the group as they explode onto the scene. Their personality and charisma shines through making it so easy to relate to the group and fall in love with the music. This outstanding quality doesn't show up again till right near the end where we get my favourite, as well as one of the greatest, Nirvana songs of all time Something In The Way. In between these two points is filler which could be removed as it drags the record down. None of these songs have the personality or infectiousness of the starting songs which makes me become disengaged with the music as I just wait for the conclusion. Overall, a hugely important album in the history of music which completely changed the direction of the 90's and is also a very fun record to listen to.
