In retrospect, Nevermind may seem a little too unassuming for its mythic status -- it's simply a great modern punk record -- but even though it may no longer seem life-changing, it is certainly life-affirming, which may just be better.

Bitterly sloppy, but still way catchy, this classic let metalheads feel like tortured punks.

It really is the quintessential rock record of the 1990's.

The music — fuzz-blast guitars, throbbing bass — roars and spits with enough in-your-face bluster to make your compact disc skip; left-of-center rock rarely sounds as alive as the metallic punk of ”Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

Too often, underground bands squander their spunk on records they're not ready to make, then burn out their energy and inspiration with uphill touring. Nevermind finds Nirvana at the crossroads — scrappy garageland warriors setting their sights on a land of giants.
Issa classic
Instantly catchy, clever writing, incredible melodies
It may not be as abrasive as In Utero, but this is acclaimed for a good reason. It sounds absolutely fantastic.
This is the type of album where sometimes when I think about it I go *it's good but kinda overrated* then I sit down and listen to it and I'm like *nah this isn't overrated at all it deserves every bit of praise it gets wow what a masterpiece*. Some albums simply deserve to be held extremely high and imo this is one of them, it put grunge on the map and was the album to fully kill the already dying glam metal.
This album is incredibly memorable, I could like not listen to this album for 5 ... read more
Album swap with @ThePurpleIdiot; I've been missing out on this album for far too long.
Released in September 1991, having been recorded at different stages throughout Apr. 1990 & May-June 1991, Nirvana's iconic 2nd album Nevermind had a more accessible, radio-friendly approach compared to their album Bleach (I'll definitely get round to hearing that sometime soon).
In Utero is among my top 20 albums of all-time due to it's raw grunge-infused sound as well as the dark songwriting that ... read more

Wish Endless, Nameless wasn’t forgotten to be put on the original pressing because if it was I would have given it a 10. Probably the most “Nirvana” sounding song in their catalog imo
