AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the Zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no matter how humongous the guitars sounded. And, yes, Nevermind is probably a little shinier than it should be, positively glistening with echo and fuzzbox distortion, especially when compared with the black-and-white murk of Bleach. This doesn't discount the record, since it's not only much harder than any mainstream rock of 1991, its character isn't on the surface, it's in the exhilaratingly raw music and haunting songs. Kurt Cobain's personal problems and subsequent suicide naturally deepen the dark undercurrents, but no matter how much anguish there is on Nevermind, it's bracing because he exorcizes those demons through his evocative wordplay and mangled screams -- and because the band has a tremendous, unbridled power that transcends the pain, turning into pure catharsis. And that's as key to the record's success as Cobain's songwriting, since Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music that is gripping, powerful, and even fun (and, really, there's no other way to characterize "Territorial Pissings" or the surging "Breed"). In retrospect, Nevermind may seem a little too unassuming for its mythic status -- it's simply a great modern punk record -- but even though it may no longer seem life-changing, it is certainly life-affirming, which may just be better.

ReplyDeletecan you upload Nirvana-Incesticide as FLAC ?
Thank you
We don't take requests. Please read the disclaimer on the side of the website.
ReplyDeleteAfter the song "something in the way" there is a 10 minute pause and then "Endless, Nameless" starts. Please fix that. It's in the aac link. Idk about the flac one
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing to fix babe. That's how it appears on the CD. It was done intentionally.
DeleteIn other words, it was done intentionally because Endless Nameless is a hidden track specific to this pressing. Many CD's have used this practice in the past.
DeleteI've listened to hidden tracks before like the one on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" and there was no 10min pause before the next song. Jesus, I really don't know what to say. But thank you for telling me, if it was done intentionally then there is nothing for me to do.
ReplyDeleteAh, but this is the early 90's babe and many Rock (usually Alternative Rock and Grunge bands) were known for doing it this way. Hidden tracks in the 2000's did things differently. They would usually have separate 5 second tracks of silence before the "hidden track" would play. Usually 15 or more. But Rock bands would do it like this. They would take 2 different tracks, splice them together as one song and add silence to give the illusion of hidden content. Another band that did this to a tee was "Ash" on the album "1977" The final song on that album was "Darkside Lighthouse" After 10 minutes of silence, the song "Sick Party" would start playing.
DeleteThank you for your taking your time to tell me. I appreciate it.
