Bleach (album) by Nirvana

overlooked for sure

A good album for sure. Really good. But it barely touches what was to come. Overrated here I feel on the basis of later work.

This album really showed that Nirvana was an act to be reckoned with, they were evolving the sound of music even on this record, even though this may be their weakest record it's a great start to a perfect discography

I’m a Nirvana fan. I love Nevermind, In Utero and the MTV Unplugged as well. But after 4-5 listens, I realized I just don’t like this album.

Some songs are okay, like Blew, School, About a Girl and Love Buzz. But in most of the record, I feel like they’re just doing some random noise. Also, where is the rawness in Kurt’s voice ? It’s so amazing in songs like Breed or Pennyroyal Tea, but it sounds like a mommy bear on most of Bleach.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but it really disappointed me :(

Awesome album.

Favorites: School, Negative Creep

this is were it all began for nirvana unpolished and grungy loud guitar and gritty vocals not the lyrics on nevermind but sound and attitude take care of that

Most underrated Nirvana album, the most raw and unpretentious as well. Captures school-age angst like almost no other music at the time.

This album can be praised for the unique grunge sound it provides. Nirvana sounds unpolished and raw. This album shapes the innocence the band had at the time, before becoming a world band. The first five songs are great, the rest is good, but songs like Paper Cuts and the guitar solo of Swap Meet are just awful.

Hard aggressive and memorable grunge. Not masterfully produced however and I feel the band still needed to grow a lot.

Raw, noisey and totally punk. This album rocks, it might be their best.
