Summary: 3 1/2 Stars
Comment: 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 in the middle of being good and being great? Well, I honestly believe the music hasn't aged as well as say, Pearl Jam, or Soundgarden, who continued to evolve through the years while creating music that still sounds great when mixed in with newer tunes. Nevermind is a really good album, but coupled with the fact that it sounds dated and can wear on the listener about half-way through, it loses some of the power it had back in 1991.

Summary: Great, but not up to all the hype
Comment: 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.

Summary: One of the best albums ever
Comment: You don't casually come across an album where every single song is perfect.
But the best song is Drain You.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not so great
Comment: while much can be said about the decline in the music industry this album represents the death of rock music in the ninties. This album compared to the great rock albums of the seventies surely shows the lowering of musical talent through the decades. most of the songs you can't understand and what little you can does not make any sense. there is little artistic value in this cd
Customer Rating:
Summary: Classic album
Comment: Anyone who acknowledges grunge as a good time in rock n roll, has to have this album.
