Urban Hat€monger ?

I think 'hate' maybe a too strong a word as far as i'm concerned.

I think the word I would use would be cynical.

I would say as far as Nevermind goes that it's a good impact album , but once that initial impact as worn off you are left with very little.

Just looking at Nevermind it seems like a checklist for mainstream success.

Good looking blonde singer ... Check
Clean production with hip producer ... Check
Loud anthemic lead single (Smells Like Teen Spirit) ... Check
Follow up mellower single (Come As You Are)
Sensitive ballad (Polly) ... Check
Potential follow up singles (Lithium , In Bloom) ... Check
Loud shouty short song to break up the commercial songs (Territorial Pissings) ... Check
Slightly longer meloncholic 'serious' song (Something in the Way) ... Check

As well as this you talk to any rock DJ from around 1990/91 and you'll find out that Nirvana were practically forced down their throats by the record company long before Nevermind even surfaced. It's no accident Nirvana became so huge no matter how much people protest against it.

Like I said I don't hate Nevermind , I just think it's an OK album. I just see very little in it to keep me listening to it anymore. For an album thats supposedly revolutionary I just think it's so damn safe it hurts.
