Free Music Notes for Incesticide
Free Music Review: Areo Zeppelin +Aneurysm=one [great]cd
Hit: 5 Stars
here are all of the tracks and why i love them:Dive:9/10 good bass at the beginning, but it gets repetitive
Sliver:10/10 i love this song. the lyrics are a little strange, but what do you expect from Kurt?
Stain: 8/10 i don't like this song as much as the others. i don't know why
Been a Son: 9/10 the lyrics are pretty cynical, this song is about Kurt's sister (i think)
Turnaround:10/10 a great cover of a great band (Devo)
Molly's Lips: 8/10 i might appreciate it more if i heard the original one by the Vaselines
Son of a gun: 10/10. this is one of my favorite songs. i don't know why.
(New Wave) Polly: 7/10 the Unplugged version is the best.
Beeswax: 8/10 i like the drums in the beginning and the chorus.
Downer: 10/10. another favorite. it was originally on Bleach (another great cd) and eventually made its way here and onto Wishka.
Mexican Seafood: 9/10 good, but strange.
Hairspray Queen: 10/10 my third favorite. kinda hard to understand but very very good.
Areo Zeppelin 20/10 ok, so my rating is a little over the top. but this is hands-down the most under-appreciated song of the 90s. a lot of people don't feel that way, but i do. my favorite song on the cd, the hidden gem
Big Long Now:8/10 it's good, but kinda sounds depressing.
Aneurysm:10/10 my second favorite. it starts out in distortion, then gets calm, then does that over again until they get to the lyrics (then it continues) this is sorta like switching between two different songs that sound good together. my second favorite.
overall cd:10/10
maybe someday, when people get over the poser rock that dominates the airways these days, they'll finally notice the raw beauty of Incesticide.
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
Free Music Review: Oh, dear...
Hit: 5 Stars
....I LOVE Incesticide. And I must be the only Nirvana fan on the planet whose favorite song is Big Long Now. Why is this song so ignored? My god, the words, the haunting melody, the haunting vocals... ....I won't get into analysing the songs and interpreting them blow-by-blow, but I will say that Kurt Cobain uses at least 7 different voices on this CD, and that each song is melodically and instrumentally genuine and original. The cover songs are also brilliant.
And here's just a little tidbit I have to mention: I became a Nirvana fan only quite recently. I was slightly too young for the whole Nirvana craze of 1991, and the tragedy of 1994.
But when I recently purchased Nevermind, I was hooked. Now, I purchased that album of course because that was "the one to get". HOWEVER, in a matter of one week, I had heard both In Utero and Incesticide, and quite honestly I don't think the big blaring "WARNING"-s are all that important for first-time listeners of the less-commercial Nirvana, if those listeners know good music when they hear it. This is just pure, glorious music with a brain, the kind where you can't predict the ending before the song is halfway through. The kind that you can't sing along to all that easily. The kind where you have to make an effort, for god's sake.
If the pop sap of today's various 'NStynks didn't drain you of your senses, get this CD. Don't be hesitant. And get Bleach and In Utero with it. There's more to Nirvana than Nevermind and Unplugged, as utterly fabulous as those two are (and my goodness, they are!). It might take a couple of listenings to get used to Incesticide. But only a couple. The quality will then speak for itself.
Free Music Review: Don't overlook this album
Hit: 5 Stars
In the course of their careers Nirvana was able to accomplish many amazing things. They literally changed the face (and dress code) of the music industry when Nevermind dropped. After that the name Nirvana was on the lips of everyone with ears. However, well over a decade since the original bang Nirvana lives on through the new box set "with the lights out" and the countless singles you can hear on the radio. Mostly cuts off of Nevermind. It is with all of this in mind that I must say, what about Incesticide. This is the only album of its kind that Nirvana made. Bleach was dark and almost metal in some instances. Nevermind was polished punk that turned into a "grungy" form of pop. For In utero Kurt was so upset that he lost the punk sound that he experimented throughout the album. But with all of this. Incesticide is the ROCK album. This album, with the exeption of Nevermind is probably the most accessible by common fans and radio alike, yet often overlooked. Every track , except for Mexican seafood, is an example of straight ahead rock n' roll. Power chords abundant, and with gain you can thrash too, I am a firm believer that this is the best album Nirvana made. Yes it is that good. Dive, Sliver, Molly's Lips and my god Aneursym! All of these are amazing songs that the common fan no nothing of. And to me that is just sad. I think this is Nirvana before the legacy, when Kurt was happy. Before his life got torn into shambles and the drugs got the better of him. I must say one thing, if you own any Nirvana album, or like any song besides Smells like teen spirit, you need to go out and buy this.Free Music Review: Amazing collection of b-sides and rarities
Hit: 5 Stars
first off i would like 2 say for the more casual fan this is way better than the box set, so if you are intrested in nirvana get this over the box set.
1.Dive- very cool song one of my favorites and a great live song
2.Sliver-the best known song of this album it is a very cool punky song
3.stain-a great song that i like alot, its very raw and cool
4.Been a son-i dont really like this song and dont see how this got on the best of album
5.Turnaround-great cover of a Devo song i like this song alot
6.molly's lips-a vaselines cover that im not 2 fond of
7.son of a gon-another vaselines cover really doesnt appeal 2 me
8.new wave polly-polly sounded better done slower this is 2 fast paced and ruins a good song
9.beeswax-a great early song one of the best on this album.
10.downer- a good song that came off of bleach
11.mexican seafood-this song is ok it has pretty disguisting lyrics about a yeast infection
12.hairspray queen-i dont really no what 2 think about this song , but i like its weirdness
13.aero-zepplin-this is a great song it doesnt really sound like led zeppelin or aerosmith but i still like it.
14.big long now- a song i like very much it is very oppresive and depressed sounding but great none the less.
15.anyerusym-now this song is a treat one of nirvana's best songs and the best song on this great collection this song is awesome.
so all in all out of 15 tracks only 4 of them are just ok so i would highly recommend this album 2 ne1 who is intrested in nirvana or owns bleach. you wont b disappointed
Free Music Review: Great title, great cover art, and the music's even better
Hit: 5 Stars
Its a B-sides collection, yet its better then the entire cataloge of posers like Bush, Nickleback, Staind, ect. And its a lot more coherent than most B-sides compilations, something that really surprised me. You could play it for someone who's never heard it before, telling them its "the lost Nirvana album" between Bleach and Nevermind, and they'd believe you in a second. Because it feels like a whole album, not just a collection of songs.Aneuyrsym, or however you spell it, is my favorite song on here. I think its funny. It starts out all hard and wicked, with a guitar spiraling upward, and then suddenly the guitar drops out and it totally changes, like you've skipped into another song by accident. I always laugh at that part. And there's something just hilarious about how Cobain sings "come on over and do the twist".
One of my friends who never knew anything about music once told me "Every song Kurt Cobain wrote was depressing." Well, maybe that's true, but he was funny a lot of the time too. Like Sliver, who would have thought someone could make an awesome song out of the lyric "Grandma take me home"? Or Been a Son, a song about how Kurt's dad always said his sister should have been a boy.
Dive is a great opening song too, very dark and reminiscent of Blew. New Wave Polly rocks, Stain has some great guitar parts. Molly's Lips is probably my least favorite song, a cover that's a little too poppy for me, but most people like it and its still pretty great. Definately check this album out and don't be scared just because it a B-sides comp.
