“The album that brought grunge to the mainstream and defined a generation.”
“When Nevermind exploded into earshot in the autumn of 1991, it was startling: a grenade detonating in your car radio. It sounded like the end of something (the 1980s? hair metal?), or maybe the beginning of something ("alternative rock"? "Generation X"?). Today, the album has become so encrusted with myth, that it’s hard to wrap […]”
“Twenty years on, the album that changed the course of popular music is reissued in two deluxe versions. The enduring brilliance of the original is at this point beyond dispute, but the value of the demos, alternate mixes, and live cuts included on two new sets is debatable.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** The album that popularized grunge with its simplistic yet iconic riffs. This is one of those albums that basically any one of any age or background knows at least one or more songs from. It’s without a doubt an iconic and masterfully crafted record. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Smells Like Teen Spirit 🔵 2.) In Bloom 🔵 3.) Come As You Are 🔵 4.) Breed 🟢 5.) Lithium 🔵🥈 6.) Polly 🟢 7.)

Not much needs to be said, best album from the most iconic 90s American Band. Most influential guitar record of the 90s to the present.”
“It would be ridiculous not to give this a 10/10. Even if you’ve grown out of your “grunge” phase or you don’t listen to heavy stuff as much as you used to, nevermind is one of those albums that will forever live in your heart. Coming from a musician, I feel like this album is what motivated me to become a drummer. Grohl is a great drummer, and was an absolute powerhouse across this entire album!”
“I don’t know why this album get so much praise like it good but it’s nothing amazing maybe it just me. The first 3 songs great and lithium but besides those 4 the rest is good but forgettable. And endless, nameless is a horrible ending for this album like how do people like that song like generally it’s 6 minutes of terrible sounding guitar”
“One of the best albums of the 90s. Despite the over-polished sound, it remains timeless and has not lost playability.”
“Nirvana is just legendary. Not all the songs on here are my favorite though..”
“Great intensity, a lot of awesome tracks, a couple that fall short”
