The NIRVANA Album Review

BLEACH (SUB-POP) - 1989

BLEACH is NIRVANA's first album, was recorded in 1989 and SUB-POP was the record company that released it. BLEACH is one of SUB-POP's all time highest sellers, it sold 39,000 copys (far from the record of all record companys). BLEACH represented the best of Seattle Alternative Music at the time. It wasn't until the age of NIRVANA's album NEVERMIND (1991) and SOUNDGARDEN's album SuperUnkown that Seattle became one of the music cities on the map.

NEVERMIND (Geffen Records) - 1991

Compaired to BLEACH, NEVERMIND distroyed that album. NEVERMIND one of the most popular alternative albums of all time (more than 8 million albums sold). Smells Like Teen Spirit kit #6 on the charts setting an new age of music. In Bloom, Come As Your Are, Drain You, etc are some of the best songs on the album

IN UTERO (Geffen Records) - 1994

IN UTERO took a different direction than NEVERMIND. Although not as good as NEVERMIND, it is better than BLEACH or INCESTICIDE (not reviewed). Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies are some of the favorites from this album. With 4 million albums sold, it is a great album, not as good as NEVERMIND though.

UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK (Geffen Records) - 1994

This album shows NIRVANA in a different way. The only electricity used in this concert was for the microphone, lights, and recording stuff. Many of NIRVANA's songs were better on this album than they were on there original album (prime example: About A Girl from BLEACH). Also NIRVANA does versions of other artists songs like The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowe).

FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE WISHKAH (Geffen Records) - 1996

NIRVANA's first album in 2 years shows that they still can get people to listen to there music. Many of the songs NIRVANA does in this album are improvements to the original version (just listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit). This is a live album, covering from 1989-1994 (earlist tours to some of the last tour).
