^^more than makes up for it, in terms of heaviness alone

in utero was pretty heavy too man, tourettes and milk it

Yeah, the recording and studio production of Bleach, just has a "dry" sound to it. Its unique and raw in its own way, unlike the other albums by Nirvana.

"In Utero" is my Fav. album.

I wouldn't say it's unique. Sorry I'm kind of shitting on this album. It is good, and well worth a listen. It's a testament to Nirvana that it falls short of the rest of their back catalogue.

Mediocre hardcore album. If it weren't for the fact the name on it is 'Nirvana' I doubt we, or anyone, would care.

Negative Creep is a damn good song, though. The rest is eh...

hardcore? huh...

and no, it would still be cared about as a document of the early Seattle grunge scene. The album got rave reviews upon it's release, even pre-success. It had little impact outside of the underground at the time, but it still did well enough for an unknown band upon it's release, and got great reviews as well.

"Negative Creep" is a good song, but so is "Love Buzz", Big Cheese", "About a Girl", "Blew", "Floyd the Barber" and "Mr. Mustache"

It sold more in the mainstream when "Nevermind" was a hit, but it was cared about by those who knew it in the underground and local scene when it came out as well.

huh? the album practically invented the apathetic slacker mentality the Seattle scene is known for

I hate this album. The only listenable song is About A Girl, the rest is absolute rubbish. Kurt Cobain wrote the lyrics in the car on the way to the studio and it shows. I find it to be a such a boring album,the guitar sounds like ****, it's nowhere near as good as Nevermind and In Utero.

well obviously your not familiar with the punk genre. The whole approach of atrocious guitar playing and lack of ambition when writing lyrics are the roots of punk. which nirvana derives from.

not to mention the obvious nods to the Melvins
