Nirvana-Nevermind

Nirvana's album Nevermind seems to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream.And, yes, Nevermind is probably a little shinier than it should be, positively glistening with echo and fuzzbox distortion, especially when compared with Bleach.Cobain's lyrics maybe dark and filled with his personal problems but Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music that is gripping,powerful,and even fun.No other rock song sounds as alive as "Smells Like Teen Spirit",the album's first single."In Bloom" and "Lithium" are also very good songs.The chorus of "Lithium" was just amazing.The biggest surprise of the album is probably the fact that Cobain has included a love song "Come As You Are" in the album.This song is perhaps their second biggest commercial hit.Nevermind showcases Nirvana trying to make music outside of the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene drawing influence from groups such as "Pixies","Smithereens" and "R.E.M".Nevermind has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide and is one of the best rock albums of all time.
