Amazon.com essential recording: Overwhelmed by sudden success, Nirvana promised to take a harsher, more abrasive route on their second major-label release. Enlisting Chicago-based noise maven Steve Albini (of Big Black fame), Kurt Cobain and company succeeded in producing a record that was violent, disillusioned, and deeply moving. Every song reads like a commentary on the cost of fame ("Serve the Servants") and the unhealthy relationship between performer and fan ("Milk It"). Of course, they might all simply be about Courtney Love. Gossip aside, there is no denying the sheer power of Cobain's songwriting, his singing, and the band's amazing, visceral power. Cobain even manages a John Lennon-like mantra at the end of the heart-wrenching "All Apologies." "All in all is all we are," he intones repeatedly, only for Cobain that's no consolation. --Percy Keegan

no one was this good! yaknow to all that use their brains can easily see why Nirvana was so great.
they embody everything a great rock band should have. amazing front man with amazing song writing abillities, an amazing drummer and a sound all their own that didnt suck!
this is a brash Cd with harsh tones with catchy songs that stick in your head with great lyrics.
Simply the Worst The other day a cat got jammed in my fanbelt when I was driving down the street and it sounded better than this abysmal album.
The irony is that Nirvana...for all their phony anti-establishment nonsense...is nothing more than Britney Spears or Ashlee Simpson (or really Johnny Bravo from the Brady Bunch) talentless hacks who just so happened to fit the costume when the record industry was pushing their latest money making scheme....in the early 1990's the new fad was "I hate my parents; being a loser is cool" rock. To say this album is awful is like saying eating human dung makes your breath unpleasant.
Honeslty, give your money to the CIA before you buy this album...at least they torture for a purpose.
kurt for ever The new generation should really try this album.And then listen again to their Fall Out Boy cd's. Bet they never play FOB again! Albert, Holland
A Rock Classic This was a very good album, and definetly more personal than Nevermind. It definetly has a rougher, more abrasive and dense sound that will turn some listeners off, and others waaay on! Kurt touches on topics such as the record industry, drug abuse, loss, parental alienation, and his relationship with Courtney Love. Of course, there's the straight riffs with signature nonsense lyrics thrown in. While the album is great, it isn't as catchy and doesn't have the same replay value as Nevermind, probably because the music itself just doesn't sound as varied and pop-oriented. Nonetheless, this is definetly an album to have, and is a landmark piece of the 1990s. Buy it and love it
Kurt Cobain was a genious ? If he was he didn't show it in his music, poor musical structure, bad lyrics, ugly sound. Nothing interesting in this cd. If you are very frustrated about society and you feel rejected, try to get some help with a professionnal. This music won't lift you up !
