Album: Nevermind
Artist: Nirvana
Year: 1991
Information: Some guys got a recording contract and made an unsuccessful first album with a few drummers. Then, they got a stable drummer named Dave Grohl and blah blah blah.
High Points: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is considered one of the best songs ever made, so I'll choose it as the high point of this album.
Low Points: Pretty much all of it.
Is it Great? No.
When I listen to this, it's sounds like heaping piles of garbage on fire. Just tons of garbage burning.

I am supremely thankful for what this album did, it killed hair metal. Hair metal had been going on for far too long and this album came out and basically put it out of its misery. Thank you.
However, this just doesn't sound good. I don't understand why people are so in love with Nirvana. My friend's mother cried when Kurt died and refused to go to school. People were very devoted to this band, but I really can't comprehend why.
This album honestly sounds bad to me, it's a ton of murky riffs under some shoddy lyrics. I really just don't get this album. I will assume that this album was a product of its time. Perhaps if I had been alive and it was able to make an impact on me, I would have different feelings about this album. However, that is not the case and this album sounds like a lot of poor music.

I feel like I've repeated myself enough on this review. As you can probably tell, I'm having trouble finding words to exactly describe my feelings on why this album isn't very good. I feel like the first two sentences perfectly encapsulate how I feel, and to try to write more would just be redundant.

With all that said, I do like the song "Polly."
