If Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed it were trying very hard to cop its style. It tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward, magnifying and distilling the wounded rage of 15 years of the rock underground into a single impassioned roar. Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like this one; of its 12 songs, roughly 10 are now standards. The record's historical weight can make it hard to hear now with fresh ears, but the monumental urgency of Kurt Cobain's screams is still shocking. --Douglas Wolk

This is the best album ever! Nirvana's finest...I grew up on this in the 90's and i'm 27 now and still play this album a lot. If i need a fix, i just pop in the cd and play Track 1...you all know it..."Smells Like Teen Spirit".
This album is timeless. Which song isn't good? None. If you into the 90's rock era with the likes of Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden etc...then you will love this...and if you weren't...you'd still love it.

Trust me, my mom has this CD at home and it makes me want to die. Nirvana is the worst band ever. And who wants a baby swimming around in the ocean NAKED trying to catch a dollar on a fishing line? Unfortunately, Nirvana. Guess what this CD smells like. It's not teen spirit. It's not Nirvana (if you have listened to Weird Al, you will get that joke). It smells like horrible, yucky, grunge music. Do NOT waste your money on this crud!

Nirvana is synonymous with the early-`90s rock scene, and even in 2008, their legacy lives on with Nevermind, the album that catapulted the band to international stardom and poster-boy status. For the next three years following its release, Nirvana enjoyed unending popularity and multi-platinum record sales up until Cobain's unfortunate suicide in 1994.
But, going past the near-worship the album receives from so many corners of the music industry, is it really such a great album?
Well, the answer is somewhere in the middle. The first five songs really shine, these including the famed hits "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come As You Are". Here Cobain's talents for writing melodies and hooks that, despite his constant hate towards fame, only stood to show that he was indeed capable of effortlessly writing something that spoke to millions. However, the albums momentum is quickly killed with the droning "Polly" and grating (albeit good workout song) "Territorial Pissings", which sound dated and almost juvenile.
Things start to pick up again with "Drain You", a song that, without its Whole Lotta Love-esque breakdown, becomes forgettable in short order despite being so poppy. The trio of songs that close the album ("Stay Away", "On a Plain", and "Something In The Way") range from good to great in respective order, with the simplicity of the latter painting a great picture about the homeless lifestyle.
So why do I say Nevermind was somewhere ... Read More

This album is great, being a die hard Nirvana fan I must love it, but it is no where near as good as In Utero. That Album I could listen to it all the way through without skipping an occasional track, not the case with Nevermind. But having "Come as you Are","Smells like teen Spirit", and "Something in the Way", do make this album a must own.

You don't casually come across an album where every single song is perfect.
But the best song is Drain You.
