Although from a technical and production viewpoint this album is far from Blind Melon's best, for me it is by far their most heartfelt album. I have recommended it to many people above Blind Melon or Soup, simply because it manages to communicate the raw power and emotion of music, without the need for polished production or mass advertising. The song Soup is my personal favourite because I feel it encompasses all of the above qualities. A definite must for any true music-lover.

Such a shame that Shannon died when and how he did.
A band with much to give - and the familiar story of drug addiction taking a true talent too early.
This CD is a great way to unwind at the end of the day when life's stresses have done their best to grind the mood down. Shannon's voice has an uncanny way of lifting the spirits.

I cannot believe someone has given Nico only 3 stars below Blind Melon's other 2 albums! While I was first hooked by the incredible ethereal nature of 'No Rain' and the upbeat rockyness of the self-titled 'Blind Melon' album, making me a huge fan of the band, it was in Nico that
I found that these guys were not destined to be a one-hit-wonder. As a rock chick with great appreciation for heavier riffs and the whole RHCP's riffs of Blind Melon's earlier work, in Nico it is the ethereal and poignant and raw and completely original nature of the incredibly beautiful songs that made me absolutely desolate that this band will be no more. I really recommend this record to anyone, it goes from the happy-go-lucky vibes of 'the pusher' and 'hell' to a synister, haunting note in 'glitch', to a so poignantly upbeat and optimistic 'life ain't so shitty', to a good rock'n'roll tune like 'swallowed'. To me this album exemplifies this band's true talent: it shows that their songwriting was capable of a greater scope than their plucky, albeit immature and repetitive first two albums. Listening to this album made me really grieve that we have lost this incredible assortment of musicians for evermore. A real classic

Poignant.
I feel such a meany only dishing out three stars. I think it's necessary, though, for those who may find this album before the other BM discs. Read more
