Free Music Notes for Nevermind
Free Music Review: extreme artistic quality
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is the ultimate resource of 90's grunge. Recommended for all fans of rock music who somehow managed not to have purchased this cd in the 90s for whatever reason. This is Cobain at his finest and this propelled Nirvana into the most influential band of the 90s. Nearly every song was a hit in some regard and there have been few cds that can stand next to this in terms of sheer artistic innovation. Cobain was an artist not a product of corporate, which emerged through his music and resonated in the hearts of fans of rock music. He influenced a generation and this cd marks the beginning of it all. If you are in the minority of those who have not heard anything of Nirvana this is the definitive starting place.

Free Music Review: Yay!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Yay! in Smells Like Teen Spirit is sarcasm, sarcastically inserted after the singer peruses the itinerary of pop culture set before him. Overbored, self-assured women, a freak show of interracial sex and perversion, a diminished and belittled mosquito of a libido his inheritance, and a cowed generation forced to issue a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial (!) of the truth of it all.
This record is worth it for the one song alone.
Free Music Review: Very good, but not as Earth shattering as we've been led to believe...
Hit: 4 Stars
This is not the greatest album ever made, and Kurt Cobain is not the greatest songwriter ever. However, this is a very good album, one that I can still listen to. It may be technically "grunge", but to me it's just damn good music. Cobain was one of the few Gen Xers who was a real artist. This album has many great songs, including Smells like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Come as You Are, and Breed (which is underrated in my opinion). In Utero is Nirvana's (and Kurt's) masterpiece, but this is still good. Those trashing Cobain are mistaken, but those who act like this album is the Gen X equivalent of Sgt. Pepper are sadly mistaken. So, chill out on this thread, and realise that Kurt was a great artist and musician and should be respected, but he isn't akin to God (and he would probably have said that himself)... Free Music Review: Like it or not folks, this album changed the musical landscape forever.
Hit: 5 Stars
Nirvana wasn't ever in competition with the likes of Queen, Led Zeppelin, or Metallica. Frankly, their music was the antithesis of that.
Nirvana was a punk rock band from Seattle (the term grunge is as corporate as the bands they rebelled against, sorry.) The elements found in this album challenged what was being done at the time in corporate rock (if not corporate music in general.) Fortified with the most powerful rock drummer since Bonham, three guys write an album that's stripped down to bass, guitar, drums, and vocals; all going on during a time where most rock bands featured a polished sound and image. Apparently, people couldn't relate to some dude in makeup singing about how he's going to score groupies after the concert. Instead they chose a simple group fronted by a simple guy singing about the penalty of life.
You can complain about how it was all noise, but the sounds they were able to get from their instruments opened up a level of musical experimentation not seen since the late 60's/early 70's. Frankly if the noise didn't deserve merit, the music industry wouldn't have shelved all their hair bands in order to sign anyone walking around Seattle wearing a flannel shirt and carrying a guitar.
Proofs in the pudding folks. If you haven't heard this album, you're either really young or you've been living in some desolate place for the past 16 years now. It's not clean, it's not technical, and even the cover art's a bit offensive. Yet underneath it all is simple music that's just pretty darn cool to listen to.
