FIRST Listen - Is Nevermind by Nirvana any good? 

Which song do you enjoy the most from this album?? Also here is my reaction to their previous album Bleach ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IF5yABDpsjw.html Thanks so much for watching!

The last track is shown as a regular song on spotify, but in the original CD it was a hidden track which started playing after a long period of silence after something in the way. My dad bought this album in 91 and told me he played it in his headphones whilst laid in bed and drifted off after something in the way, only to be woken up confused by the noise of endless, nameless - and that is exactly what that track was intended to do, it was an easter egg to freak ppl out who left the album running after something in the way. I personally enjoy it (once in a while) its just them releasing their frustration and going crazy basically, just noise music, not supposed to be melodic or be danced to really, just an expression of chaos.

For context, Endless Nameless was a hidden track after Something in the Way so it's fair that you didn't like it, hahaha. It was a jam and entirely improvised. Honestly you could've skiped that song, but I understand the confusion since Spotify lists it as the last track of the album for some reason.

The MTV acoustic album might be more your cup of tea. It highlights how good the songs are when stripped back.

Endless, nameless was a hidden track. Just a jam really where Kurt got so frustrated at trying to record Lithium he just lost it and started playing this. That cacophony at the end is him smashing his guitar.

This album changed the World, there's a clear divide in music that came out before it and music that came out after it. It defined a generation.

Make sure you listen to their live Unplugged album. I think you'll love it since its all stripped down acoustic numbers, and really shows off their musicianship. A bunch of the songs are covers, and in many cases I actually prefer Nirvana's versions to the originals. Also, Endless Nameless was a hidden track that came on 10 minutes after Something in the Way, and if memory serves, it was mostly an improv/jam they did because they were pissed off in the studio. I also hated it at first, but after listening to it a bunch of times, I started to like it. I guess my brain was eventually able to tame the chaos and find the song hidden in there.

It's very liberating to acknowledge that some art that speaks to others is not for us. I find myself more open than I used to be to learning about others through their appreciation of things outside my tastes.

30 years in September. Sounds as fresh today as it did then. It slays.

0:27 Smells Like Teen Spirit 2:51 In Bloom 4:41 Come As You Are 6:37 Breed 8:29 Lithium 10:09 Polly 11:32 Territorial Pissings 13:06 Drain You 14:45 Lounge Act 15:55 Stay Away (Side note, Pay to Play is better) 17:13 On A Plain 18:41 Something In The Way 20:10 Endless Nameless

The thing is Kurt was incredibly melodic. I've listed to Nevermind a lot over the years and underneath the drumming, bass and crashing guitars are amazing melodies.

The guitar sound from the song “Come as you are” was made with a guitar pedal! Kurt used a chorus effect and the name of the pedal was “Small Clone” 😊

A lot of rock singers can get that distortion in their voice in a healthy way by using their false folds, employing some sort of supported vocal fry, buzzing the sound off their soft palette, or some other technique that doesn't do damage to the vocal cords. Other rock singers just yell and squeeze and push that sound out of their throat, doing damage that eventually destroys their ability to sing. Kurt, who was self-taught and had no formal music training of any kind, was in that second group. Had he lived, I don't think he would've been able to maintain his voice very far into the future. According to Nirvana's drummer, Dave Grohl, during the recording of "Nevermind," they were only able to record one song per day as Kurt would blow his voice out at the end of each session. Kurt was getting annoyed with this, so he went to see a vocal coach. When he came back, Grohl asked him how it went. Kurt said, "Check this out," and put in a cassette tape of warm-ups the vocal coach wanted him to do. Grohl says, "It was like, 'Me me me me me me me! Boy boy boy boy boy!' And we sat and we laughed like hell as we listened to it, and then threw the cassette away."

One of the most important records of the past 40 years. Completely changed the musical landscape for the better.

In the song "Drain You," those sound effects you liked during that middle bit included Kurt squeezing squeaky mouse and rubber duck toys, to which the sound engineer, Andy Wallace, added delay effects to make them sound "trippy." Other sounds in that interlude included Kurt spraying an aerosol can to get that "steam" sound and somebody clanking around some chains. According to producer Butch Vig, that section was meant to be a Sonic Youth style "freakout."

Now let me be a grandparent for a moment: back in my day, music on the radio and on MTV from 1986-1990 or so was SO saturated with light pop metal...just the antithesis of anything that's great. We just kind of had to accept it. I wasn't aware of the underground music bubbling up on college radio stations. Imagine that at one point, even a band like R.E.M. seemed "edgy." This came out when I was 19. It was a real Plato / Allegory of the Cave situation. I had NO IDEA that something could sound as great as this did when it came out. My first impression was that it was somehow a cross between the Beatles and Black Sabbath. It's not a great analogy, but that's all I had to work with at the time. The lyrics were all a mystery - still kind of are - but the power of his voice was undeniable. It's not what he said, but how he said it - and how it sounded - that contained any kind of meaning. My favorite songs have always been "On A Plain," "Breed," "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Drain You." But the entire album is great. "Endless, Nameless" isn't my cup of tea, either. As others have mentioned, this song came after a ridiculous amount of silence, so it was easy to skip. And the thrust of so much great music from 1991-1994 ended when he ended his life.

Endless Nameless is not actually an album track. It wasn't listed on the album at all. The last song listed was Something in the Way. But when you bought the CD (or tape or vinyl), after Something in the Way finished there were 15 minutes of silence, then Endless Nameless came on out of nowhere. I don't think Nirvana even considered it a song per se, it was just sort of this way to mess with the fans. Spotify makes it seem like it's just another album track, but that's not the case. It actually started a trend of bands putting secret songs on their albums (see Green Day Dookie or Tool's first couple of albums).

0:27 Smells Like Teen Spirit 2:51 In Bloom 4:41 Come As You Are 6:37 Breed 8:29 Lithium 10:09 Polly 11:32 Territorial Pissings 13:06 Drain You 14:45 Lounge Act 15:55 Stay Away 17:13 On A Plain 18:41 Something In The Way 20:10 Endless Nameless

About the harmonies. Part of it is that this is the first album with drummer Dave Grohl (Bleach had a revolving door of drummers). Dave was also a very competent vocalist, and you can see in their live sets that he often was doing backup vocals while drumming! I would say that having Dave as a drummer is comparable to what happened to The Beatles when they got Ringo as their drummer; both went from being a good band to a great band, and the drummer made all the difference. Kurt has even been quoted as saying that even if he could bring John Bonham (Led Zeppelin’s drummer) back from the dead, he’d never replace Dave Grohl with any other drummer. Dave Grohl, for those unaware, would move on to success post-Nirvana as the frontman for The Foo Fighters. Currently there’s a very long list of other projects he’s sang, guitared, and drummer for. But it’s amazing how he went from being the drummer of one successful band to the frontman of another.

“On A Plain” to me is their most Beatles-like song. I could definitely hear a sarcastic John singing this one with cleaner guitars, Paul on harmonies, a Ringo backbeat with a tambourine, a jangly George solo. “Hard Day’s Night” or “For Sale” era.

Pleaseeee don't skip incesticide! It's an "outakes" album, BUT IT'S SUCH A GOOD ALBUM! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Also, I feel like if you made an attempt to get into endless nameless I feel like you could jam to it, but after getting emotionally vunerable in something in the way it's definetly more rough to get into, haha

As a metal fan who hated grunge even I have to admit this album is terriffic and really signaled the end of Metal being the dominant music form and Nevermind became this huge cultural thing. It was the right album at the right time when at the beginning 90's which after the 80's was the decade that said time to pay up after the fun times in the 80's

I was 33 when this album came out. I'd really become bored with most mainstream Rock music by that point. I liked R.E.M. and a few other bands, but kept going back to classics of the late 60's and 70's for most of my musical enjoyment. I remember being in the car with my son in the back in his car seat when I heard "Teen Spirit" for the first time. It was such a breath of fresh air to me. I actually felt gratified when Nirvana bumped Michael Jackson out of the number 1 album spot. At that point Michael Jackson was endemic in the music world and you couldn't not be exposed to him constantly. Within the next year I soaked up everything "Nirvana". My Wife couldn't stand them (She was listening to The Judds and Ricky Skaggs a lot then. lol!)

The guitar sound in Come as You Are sounds like a chorus, Phaser, or flange pedal. They're magic little boxes between the guitar and amp that do weird things to the sound. You'll probably know about a wah-wah pedal. These are like that. It's like the spinning amp sound the Beatles used on Tomorrow Never Knows.

Interesting reaction. I was a very introvert kid, very good hearted but with loads of rage waiting to explode. This album was an obsession for a long time. It was the only thing I could listen to. Some music speak to some people more than others.

"Lounge Act" does a couple of things that I like in songs. First, it repeats the first verse as the third verse, but does it in a way that contrasts the first run (in this case, being an octave higher and therefore more intense). Second, the last chorus is changed, specifically it's extended so that the first three lines are still the first three lines, and the last line is still the last line, but there are four new lines in there, adding one last detail to the story.

The first time I heard this album in 1991, I was completely blown away. It was so infectious in the melodies, and so raw at the same time. I knew right away it was like the "Star Wars" of rock albums, every track was special, and the production was solid, the musicians were inventive, and Kurt was mesmerizing in his voice, songs and guitar playing. It's still painful to this day he killed himself. I know he would have given so much more if he could have found a way to live.

Great call on noticing this album has more harmonies than Bleach. Thats because Dave Grohl joined the band as the drummer before this album, and he sings all the harmonies. IMO he really took the band to the next level with his more powerful drumming style AND his harmonies on most of these songs.

You should definitely react to their complication album Incesticide, has some of my favorite Nirvana riffs, and their 1993 album In Utero. Edit: Kurt actually almost blew his voice out at the end of Territorial Pissings, you can hear it. He actually did blow his voice out quite a bit on this album, but Territorial Pissings is the only song you can hear it on. Endless Nameless came about when they were recording a take for Lithium and couldn't get it right, Kurt, in a fit of rage, threw his guitar out of tune and went crazy, and the band followed. At the end, he started smashing his guitar on the floor, that's what you were hearing. Definitely one of my favorite songs by them, unironically.

I have been listening to this album since it came out 30 years ago and I still don't understand a good 90% of the vocals and couldn't really tell you what any of the songs are about. This album just sounds so good that they lyrics never mattered so much. I do want to mention that this album was a really huge deal when it came out. I was working in a record store at the time and before this album came out, the popular music was all dance music, and rap. This album came out and changed the entire music scene. All the alternative and punk bands that got famous in the 90s can thank this album. I don't know of any other album after the Beatles that had such a huge impact on music.

Kurt's song writing for me is so amazing and complex. His writing will always weird you out but that's just how he is. He can blabber nonsense and for some reason it will make it good.

If you aren't already familiar with their stuff, it would be wonderful to see you react to some Radiohead. No complaints about this reaction, or the Beatles reactions (of course)...in fact, I love these videos, they're wonderful, and your positivity and energy help me appreciate the music anew.

The story I heard about "On a Plain" was that Kurt Cobain lost the lyric sheet and couldn't remember the words, so he hurriedly jotted down some new ones during a plane trip. "Endless, Nameless" was, I believe, a "hidden track" on the first edition of the CD that was not included on later pressings.

Kurt would roll over in his grave if he knew Something In the Way is popular now because it was in a movie. It was the last song on Nevermind and he knew it was a “pretty” song but did not want it played in music stores, et cetera. So he put a 20 minutes gap after Something In the Way and tacked on Endless, Nameless specifically so SITW could not be put in rotation straight from the cd. I have been to the bridge SITW was written about. You would not be surprised to know it is a living shrine.

I feel bad that she's never listened to one of the greatest albums of all time!

Love your analysis. My fave song on the record is probably Territorial Pissings, or maybe Something In The Way, depends on my mood that day. I was born in '82 and have an older sibling who was a teen when this record was released, so this record and Nirvana had a massive impact on my tastes growing up, I probably didn't listen to Nirvana for a good 7-8 years in my 20's but came back to the band in my 30's and totally got it all over again. Along with Metallica and especially Faith No More, Nirvana were a massive gateway band for me into all sorts of aggressive music.

Great video Caroline! Endless, Nameless was the improvised product of pent-up frustration during the sessions for Lithium, which took a long time to perfect. Originally it was only a hidden track on the CD, and isn’t on most vinyl issues. So I don’t blame anyone who isn’t that into it, even though I happen to love it (and Revolution 9). 😂

It's really interesting to see someone coming at Nevermind with fresh ears. I was 13 when this came out and it was the first album that really felt like it was 'mine'. I loved it to bits and in those pre internet days listened to it over and over. Now I find it quite hard to listen to because of how much I over played it at the time. Endless Nameless wasn't actually on the vinyl version. It was a hidden track on the CD version. I had to wait till it appeared on the b-side of either Come As You Are or Lithium to get it.

I admire that you went through Endless Nameless like a trooper! It was an hidden track on Nevermind, 10 minutes of silence after Something in the Way then boom the song started.

So excited to see your reaction! This album is definitely the album along with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation that I played a lot in high school, my fav song off of this album is Territorial Pissing and as a bassist, I love Lounge Act. Also, I'd definitely recommend giving the MTV unplugged a listen after you're done with In Utero!

I think In Bloom is the best song on the album, what a melodic chorus, with great backing vocals, and drums

Btw, Nirvana learned their loud/soft/loud dynamic tricks from a band called the Pixies. Kurt Cobain was a huge fan of their music.

Probably 200 people have said this already but for the "come as you are" sound he uses a chorus pedal with a clean guitar sound with the bottom humbuckers (guitar mic) and for the solo he adds in a distortion pedal. It's also the same sound as you can hear in the teen spirit solo

You're a champion for Endless, Nameless. As said it was a secret song after 20 minutes of silence and it would scare you when it suddenly blasted out

Hey Caroline. It's good to see you back reviewing albums. I would definitely like to see more of this ilk if possible? Anyway, good stuff! Cheers.

A couple things. We drummers get a lot of help from the rebound of the sticks. So if you hold the stick as loosely as possible without dropping it, and you keep your hands nice and relaxed, when you hit the drum, the force will send the stick back up. You can basicly get 2 strokes for the price of 1. The addition of harmonies was from Dave Grohl. He was the new drummer on this record and of course, as evidenced by the Foo Fighters, has a fantastic voice of his own and he and Curt's voices were just magical together. Love how they sound on In Bloom.

Btw Polly is a VERY disturbing and messed up song based on a true story, just go read up on it and watch stuff about it. It's actually sad...

One of my favorite albums of all time, but certainly not a relaxing, feel good record. I can still understand why some listeners may not care for all of it, but it was earth shaking to me. When this came out a lot of music was very redundant and this was a completely different sound. One of my favorite memories when this came out is that my girlfriend at the time heard it before me and she was so excited to bring it to my attention because everyone always expected me to discover new sounds. It was special for both of us.

The chorus effect on the guitar could potentially have been added in post through an effects loop but some amps come with such effects built in and there's also the possibility it could be guitar pedal. I use a boss super chorus and it is a really great effect. It can be subtle and barely noticeable and just add a hint of texture to a guitar or it can dialed all the way up to that cascading watery sound. Easy to misuse too though but this song really does it well. Not subtle at all but super distinctive and atmospheric. Really sounds good on a clean guitar. I think it works by sort of doubling the notes you're playing but very slightly out of tune, so you get that bigger choral sound, kind of imitating the way a bunch of human voices in a choir are never going to be totally 100% in tune with each other.

I'm not sure if it was commented on but the last song, Endless Nameless, was a hidden track. It was the first of which became a common trend for many other bands in the 90's (also a possible precursor to Marvel including end-credit scenes?). The story supposedly goes that Kurt originally made a tape for someone and hid a song after a long gap of silence, as an element of surprise. It worked on his friend and so Kurt used that idea on the Nevermind album. There original release of 50,000 copies of the album didn't include it as it was forgotten to be included by the cd manufacture. For a long time I never heard it (nor knew what people were talking about) as my original copy didn't have it. Years later I picked up another copy I listened with headphones and fell asleep, being loudly awaked to the hidden song. It worked.

Its harder to drum fast in the air than it is to drum on the face of a surface. You get a tactile bounce from the surface.

Lounge Act is such an underrated song

chorus effect pedal on in bloom guitar. guitar > pedalboard > amp etc. ya effects can be added later on computer programs now but most guitarists prefer to still use actual pedal boards. related note: adding distortion to a midi piano keyboard can also simulate an electric guitar kinda.

Best rock album of all time. Changed my life

Nirvana was sued for Come as You Are because the riff was basically a slowed down version of Killing Joke's Eighties. Which itself sounds suspiciously similar to The Damned's Life Goes On.

The guitar effect in Come as you are is a chorus pedal. Very effective.

Found you on your Beatles Odyssey and I'm loving your reactions. I, like a lot of others, will never forget the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. I pulled my car over to listen to it properly, like "Wtf is *this*?"

I recommend other bands like The Sonics, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Fugazi, The Stone Roses, Golden Earring, The Foo Fighters, The Stooges, Blur, U2 (the Post-Puk era, I Will Follow and New Year's Day etc.), Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Interpol especially their song Evil, Black Flag's Nervous Breakdown EP and others.

I wouldn't expect you to be the biggest fan of Nirvana tbh. I would love to hear your reactions to Tom waits. He is perfect for your channel: masses of instruments, styles, character, lyricality. And he will challenge you too which will be a journey we can go on with you. He never stops evolving. Better yet he's pretty under-represented on RU-vid. But don't start from the beginning, that won't really hook you or clue you in to what he's really about. Start with 'Swordfishtrombones', then 'Raindogs'... and then go back to the beginning. Seriously I cannot think of an artist more suited to 'Call Me Caroline'.

The whole album is amazing, but Territorial Pissings is probably my favourite. Polly has a really good story in it,

Can I recommend that you delve into the Smiths albums next? Theres so much to dissect in their work from lyrics to melody. Keep up the good work. I've enjoyed watching you discover the Beatles and now Nirvana.

21:56 LOL you definitely have to be in the right mood to listen to that final song. I skip it sometimes when I'm listening to the album (kinda like Revolution 9 on the White Album). I find all the other songs on Nevermind to be amazing though.

You need to go for Alice in Chains if you want vocal harmonies. Best harmonies of the 90s, best voices of the 90s.

Nameless Endless is the 90’s version of Revolution 9

From my understanding, that loud chorus quiet verse structure you talked about during In Bloom was popularized by Nirvana and then was subsequently everywhere while grunge and alt rock was still popular. One of their biggest influences, the Pixies, really leaned into this and are often credited with inspiring Nirvana in this way and many others.

Kurt acknowledged that their “loud, quiet, loud” approach was very much influenced by The Pixies… who influenced an entire generation of musicians… including much bigger names in music like David Bowie and U2. My favorite track on “Nevermind” is “Lounge Act”. p.s… Kurt’s singing style did take a harsh physical toll on his body. Bleeding from his diaphragm was common for him.

I much prefer Alice in Chains for a similar type of music and time period.

5:30 guitarists typically create their sounds through their choice of amps and then their choice of effect pedals which you can daisy chain together into the amp.

Kurt used a guitar effect pedal called a Small Clone to help achieve that “watery” guitar tone on Come As You Are. He also tuned to E flat tuning, half a step down

I love that you react to entire albums on your channel. I always appreciate your analysis and honest reactions, good or bad. I'd love to see you react to some Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall) or Led Zeppelin (III and IV are my favorites). But there are a ton of great older artists and I really enjoy watching you explore them, whatever you choose next.

I grow up with Nirvana, he was absolutely a super star ⭐️ at that time. I loved Curt Cobain, his voice was one of its kind and the sound perfectly fits to that

Music is one of those "You had to be there." Type things to really truly grasp its full impact. When I ask people what concerts have they ever been to, I always preface it with "Did you see them in concert in their heyday?" Because it matters.

That fan “likes to shoot his gun” and likes all the “pretty songs” but doesn’t know what that means… I’ll let you ponder

I understand why people don’t like Endless, Nameless. Even though i personally love it. It’s a bizzare, loud and chaotic mess of sounds and screaming. The story of it is what i love. It was created in the studio (completely improvised) after a failed take of Lithium. Which might explain the aggression of it. I personally like it just because it is so disturbing.

the high pitched sound effect that you were wondering about in the song Drain You is Kurt squeezing a rubber ducky into the microphone followed by steam sounds that he made by hissing. What you probably missed on this album since you stopped for every song is how beautifully the songs bleed into one another. Go back and take a listen.

Please listen to the album ‘California’ by Mr.Bungle. Musically, instrumentally, and creatively it is something special. I really believe anyone who is musically inclined would appreciate this album.

Kurt LOVED the chorus effect on a clean guitar tone.

12:15 " omg sounds like its hurting his voice " try listening to scentless apprentice on the album In utero, Incredible song but my voice starting hurting just hearing it, he's singing in the soprano register while SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS. great but terrifying

Come as you are basically turn up the chorus if I remember correctly and that can be achieved through his foot pedal when playing

Smells like Teen Spirit likely my fav song. I recommend watching the music video, giving much of the vibe from that MTV era. There is a fabulous parody of the song by Weird Al Yankovic - being highly appreciated by Nirvana - that is musically on par with the original (typical for Weird Al). It would be a pity if you missed out on those things, imo.

The guitars in "Come as You Are" are achieved by using a chorus effect pedal

The way Kurt explained it was that their songs were similar to the songs we learned as children. "Very basic" They were soooo much more than that but I'll agree that they were very primal. They also had a "formula" that just worked!! It was soft, loud, soft, loud, and I've literally written songs this way myself and it's a very simple formula that just WORKS! Kurt was so much more important to people than he ever knew and I truly wonder if it ever crossed his mind that his death would create copycats. I feel like he'd have to know that but at the same time he had no clue what he was and what he'd become to so many people! The other variable there is that even if he knew all that, it's very likely that "the pain" was too much to deal with. I've been to that point in my own life and there were 3 attempts on my own life that it's unbelievable that I survived any of the 3 BUT I'VE REALIZED THAT IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM!! I thank God to be alive today!!!!

Highly recommend the Wax Audio mashup of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit with Europe's Final Countdown, if you want to mess with your own head.

Great reaction! To answer your questions: Kurt uses a flange guitar effect pedal on Come As You Are...yes the lyrics are very much secondary, as Kurt famously wrote half the lyrics of this album while riding the bus to the recording studio....Endless Nameless was like a hidden song (it wasn't listed on the back of the album or the sleeve), and you had to let the CD play for like 10 minutes of silence before the song would come on (and it's also the song they would usually play right before they smashed their instruments to end the show). I saw them in 94 in Vancouver just a few months before Kurt died....one of my favorite teenaged memories.

Caroline if you want to hear another iconic rock album from the 90s: 'Definitely Maybe' by Oasis is a special one.

Hi Caroline. Glad you're back on youtube making quality videos again. I never was a huge "Grunge" fan. However Nirvana was the one band that I did enjoy. "Nevermind" is definitely a great album.(well except for "Endless Nameless"). It's interesting that you mentioned The Beatles song "Revolution 9" as it is a sound collage. I've always thought "Endless Nameless" was kind of a "tribute" to "Revolution 9" as Kurt Cobain was very much influenced by The Beatles and in particular was a huge fan of John Lennon.

You should check out Kurt's cover of And I Love Her by the Beatles from his Insesticide album

She looked so scared everytime a song started hahah loved this reaction!

So crazy to think I was about your age when this album came out. I remember sitting in the back of the car with a car load full of friends and saying "Play this cd! Play this! They are going to be bigger than the Beatles even!" They all thought I was crazy. Honestly though this album was EPIC. Just HUGE. Changed everything at the time.

I like "Something In The Way". I remember when this album came out, I was working at Tower Records and playing gigs all the time....and EVERYWHERE you went, you heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (and also "Lithium" and one or two others). I wasn't a huge fan at the time or anything; musically it was very much in the style of Husker Du and other bands from the 80s that I like better.....but he definitely had the hooks. Years later, I bought the studio monitors they recorded "Nevermind" on (allegedly, lol).

The LOUD QUIET LOUD was first made effective by Boston alt rockers THE PIXIES in the late 1980s. Kurt Cobain even cites “ripping them off” in several interviews. The Pixies had a huge following in Europe, more so than in their native country in the USA.

Is anyone going to mention that Lithium was prescribed as an anti-depressant?

The guitar sound in "Come As You Are" is achieved using an effects pedal- in this case, a "chorus" effect.

There are more backing vocals on this album due to Dave Grohl being in the band for this album. He did not drum on Bleach. Cobain and Grohl sound good together.

So... About the "polarizing lyrics" in Lithium... The song is very much about experiencing extreme highs and lows... in the medical field, it would be classified as bipolar disorder, which is treated by administering doses of lithium...

This is a brilliant album. I love every track on here.

Breed "We can plant a house, we can build a tree. I don't even care, we don't have to breed" is one of my lyrics. Territorial Pissings "Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you" is another gem.

i owned this album in the 90s... and i never KNEW or heard of this last song until 2 days ago

Caroline, on average, how many hours do you spend editing a video? I edit videos and it takes me on average about 1-2 hours per 5 minutes of rendered video. I don't think most people realize how much time goes into a video production. You videos are great. TomK

I'm glad you continue Nirvana, cause I too haven't heard all the songs/albums yet
