If you don't already have this album in your CD collection, I suggest that you purchase it now, because it's an absolute must-have.
It may be over a decade since the band was abruptly halted by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain's suicide, and yet this is still one of those albums that keeps selling and keeps selling.
Thousands of teens every year get their first taste of Nirvana. More addictive than any narcotic, and there's no horrible come-down. You can just keep listening and keep listening, and the high just gets better and better.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is the band's most famous song, without a doubt. The raw guitar into, the moment where the drums cascade into action and the fuzz peddle is pushed hard to the floor...it's the soundtrack to so many great experiences.
Come As You Are is arguably one of the best songs they ever recorded. With Krist's watery bass into, and the infectious yet simple vocal arragement is truly magic.
But skip straight to number four if you want something to headbang, jump around, scream your lungs out to! Breed is the epitome of all things loud and amazing.
Then Drain You, Lounge Act and On A Plain are the best of the rest, although it broke my heart to have to choose my favourites. This whole album is astoundingly good, and you should buy it immediately, and play it as loud as your stereo will allow you.

Let me get one thing straight: Nevermind is a fantastic and incredibly influential album. However with this version, there's one major problem.
The simple fact is that the mastering on the original version of Nevermind was excellent. Howie Weinberg was tasked with making the original sound as good as he possibly could. And the result was a clear, lively, dynamic and very punchy record indeed!
Then this came along. Unfortunately, the music industry no longer cares in any way about quality - really, they don't! So for this supposedly "Remastered" version, they simply asked the mastering engineer to forget all about sound quality and just make the album sound artificially loud. And he's done that! All of the dynamics are gone, clear passages are replaced with digital distortion, the drums sound flatter and the whole sound has a flat, lifeless and fatiguing sound to it.
And there we have it. A "Remastered" version of this album which sounds 10 times worse than the original.
So, my advice is to keep hold of your superior "original" copy - A good memorial for those times when the music industry used to care about the quality of the stuff they release. Don't touch this shoddy re-release with a barge pole, the quality of it is rubbish!

I've heard people talk about Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze as being one of those "where were you when you first heard it" records.
Well Smells like Teen Spirit definitely had the same impact. It took the music scene in a new direction and made a load of Heavy metal/Rock bands seem boring and outdated.
This album would be in my top 5 ever! At £3.99 an absolute steal.

The theme tune of my teenage years and now it's been remastered, it sounds fantastic.

Nirvana isn't for hardrockers, it's for people how love that head-bang area. The 20th B-Day of this record brings back the golden age of vinyl's back. Read more

Interesting cover image
Must be a Conservative baby to be so interested in money at such a young age. Or is it a working class baby receiving his first benefit payment?

The album that redifined rock
This album changed the landscape of rock in the 90's. Gone was the glam polished rock that rode so high in the 80's. Read more
