I recently got Nevermind and thought it was a great album what album do you recommend I get next?

Well, you don't have a whole big mess to choose from - I'd say splurge and get "Bleach" and "In Utero". "Incesticide" is a decent album, but it's kinda odds'n'sods...more for folks who are kinda acquainted with their music and wanna hear rarities and whatnot. Work your way up to that. The MTV Unplugged album is quite nice - I think it's a really mellow, beautiful album that shows an understated maturity that Kurt coulda really grown into...

DEFINITELY In Utero!!!!!

My favourite Nirvana album and in my top 5 albums of all time!

I'd say get them all, but it depends on if you wanna go backwards or forwards. Save Incesticide for last as it's probably the weakest of the bunch (really just outtakes). But you can't go wrong with Bleach or In Utero, and the unplugged show is awesome too. Then if you're into live stuff, get their Muddy Banks live album. And then there're tons of bootleggs. If you wanna get that deep, get the Outcesticide albums, especially the first one.

And I agree with you again!!!

In Utero sounds the best to me. It's recorded so great. The tones, from those first stick clicks, to that first dissonant chord, you can almost feel the electricity. And the drum tones are so incredible and hot in the mix.

well said! In Utero has one of the best natural sounding production jobs of all time!

Did you know Steve Albini (engineer, producer) used about 25 mics on the snare drum alone?! No effects, just a lot of mics! Insane....but it certainly gave that snare a unique sound!

i say you take all the Nirvana cd's you can find and smash them to pieces and get them out of society...they totally ruined music and it hasnt recovered since...Cobain should have pulled the trigger 3 years sooner and saved us from such horrid music..

Mazerati said:

you know, every time I read one of your posts I'm baffled by your ignorance.

Nirvana CHANGED music for the better, getting rid of the horrible hair metal of the 80s and bringing back strong SONGWRITING.

And your comment about his suicide is just sick.

mrdespues said:

i happen to like the hair metal of the 80's..brought back songwriting? like u can understand any of his lyrics all Nirvana did was crank out a bunch of angry songs and that led to a bunch of angry knockoffs...music was fun until Nirvana came along and i like i said b4 it hasn't recovered since..give me posion's Talk Dirty to me anytime over anything Nirvana ever did

i dont think my suicide comment is sick ..he chose to take his own life..i have always had a hard time feeling sorry for somebody who does something like this...there are people in the world who are terminally ill that would give anything to be a healthy human being and yet here is a person with everything to live for that did way too many drugs and took his own life despite having a small child...im sorry but i have never bought into the MTV glorification of Kurt Cobain


and your comment about everytime you read one of my posts you are baffled by my ignorance...you must have me confused with somebody else because i try to remain mostly positive with all my posts and i rarely say anything controversial but Nirvana has always been a sore spot with me...sorry if i have sickened you but i was just being honest

Mazerati said:

to say he should have ended his life even sooner IS sick and malicious. he was a troubled person who created a great body of work in a very short amount of time which ranks beyond just simple rock music and ventures into real art.

Kurt is widely acknowledged as having been a beautiful human being.

and if you like Poison and all that shit, god help you...

Kurt's music was not only angry, it was anger mixed with beauty....ever heard Unplugged? Really pretty stuff. He was a GENIUS songwriter in the vein of Lennon and could have gone on to very great things in many peoples' opinion...the whole point of his lyrics was CONVICTION not necessarily DICTION. And lyric sheets are always available anyway, and when you actually read his lyrics they are amazingly profound and poetic, full of mixed metaphors, ironies and contradictions which mostly spoke of love without actually using the word very often.

So yes, get a clue, but then again if you like Poison and hair metal, I'm glad you're not a Nirvana fan anyway.

oh and the knockoffs you speak of actually bear more resemblance to early Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and hair metal than the punk spirit of Nirvana. seriously, you don't know what you're talking about.

why put me down for the kind of music i like?..thats the last thing i would expect from a fan of Prince after all the crap we have gotten over the years from people for digging his music so much so what if i like hair metal? if thats not cool to say so what...but thats my opinion..you like Nirvana then cool but i wouldnt put u down for it

Mazerati said:

Bands like Nirvana saved the world from that hair band garbage. At least Cobain's music meant something. Who the fuck cared what Poison was singing about?

In utero or Unplugged album liive in NY.. That album has some awesome tracks on it..

About a Girl, The man who sold the world and Lake of Fire are awesome tracks.. Check them out!

Stupid argument about Kurt's value to music aside, I think IN UTERO is clearly their best album. After 10 years, it sounds even better than it did in 1994. NEVERMIND (though Teen Spirit, Lithium, and In Bloom will remain classics) now sounds way too clean and glossy (IMHO). I never make it all the way through. The second half really drags now. All the songs sound a little too similar to me. And I'm a HUGE Nirvana-head.

which album was Rape Me on?? Was it In Utero? Although the title of the song isn't the most politically correct, the song is awesome!

BabyCakes said:

RAPE ME is definitely on IN UTERO - 4th track. I agree, awesome somg.

Get "In Utero" first, then "MTV Unplugged in New York," those two and "Nevermind" are essentials. "Incesticide" and "Bleach" are also good albums, just not great in my opinion.

That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.You fucking suck...

WhenDovesCry2003 said:

see what I mean, Mazarati? it's totally disrespectful and gross.

mrdespues said:

yes i am sorry it was a stupid thing to say..its horrible when anybody takes their own life if you like them or not...i shouldnt blame Kurt for the change in music during that time..its ultimately the people who decide and people were ready for a change even tho i wasn't one of them

Mazerati said:

woah...that's the first time I've been part of changing someone's mind on the org!

well congrats on having an open mind.

Since this thread went way off course, I won't try to stir up more shit. Suicide, to me is always a selfish and horrible way to leave one's family. Any sympathy in this case should go towrds Frances Bean Cobain. One parent is gone, and the other is in trouble. Only GOD really knows her pain.

Incesticide, definitely.

OK EVERYONE THIS THREAD ABOUT MUSIC NOT SUICIDE!

BACK TO TOPIC!
