Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the defining moments of the 1990s, despite happening at the start of the decade. The guitars start jittering, then "BOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOMA-ABOOM!", the drums kick in and grunge splatters itself all over a generation of MTV viewers. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will surely always speak to alienated teenagers, while giving them something to thrash around their rooms to, kicking the whole thing off as it means to go on. "Come As You Are" is dark and twisted, while "Lithium" and "In Bloom" show Kurt Cobain's often overlooked sense of humour, and "Stay Away" highlights the best way to shred your vocal chords. It's nigh-impossible not to love this album, and it will remain Nirvana's most affectionately remembered work. It's just a shame that a misplaced sense of "selling out" (stupid term if ever there was one) led to such an internal rejection of "...Teen Spirit". A work of genius, no question. --Emma Johnston

Customer Reviews

Don't be childish and put One star..
Even if, like me, you think many including Nirvana released better albums than this. What can be said that hasn't already been muttered by an occassional rock fan or shouted through a teenagers wall?

It is an excellent album, just over played, but it's nowhere near the best rock album, the most memorable grunge album or even the best indie-punk. It's a good pop album with guitars and feux-angst.

Nevermind - NIRVANA
"Nevermind" is a very significant album in my life...especially on an emotional level. It speaks so much to me through its lyrics, drums and guitar riffs. Song wise my favourites are "In bloom", "Breed" and "Come as you are". Kurt Kobain also has a good sense of humour which is all too often over-looked. Listen more closely next time. This album means so much to me in so many ways. It defines a particular time in my life and I thank Kurt and Nirvana for creating something so wonderful. The songs stick in your head for many days afterwards, Nirvanas music makes you think and most important of all...it's a rock classic.

oppressively dull
Apart from maybe Oasis or the Arctic Monkeys , has there ever been a more overrated band in music? Unsurprisingly, Kurt said he realised he'd never write songs as good as the Pixies and of course he never did. The oppressively dull songs are further stifled by flat production and narcoleptic bass.

I saw something on channel 4 a while back where it said Nirvana came along to save guitar music, which is revisionist nonsense. Guitar music was in fine shape before Nirvana (Pxies, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Ride, Dinosaur Jr etc), but like Oasis they spawned even more emplty, clueless wannabes.
