Hi, welcome to my first review. I chose "Bleach" because it's Nirvana's most under-rated album. While many hardcore fans cherish this album as a classic, its remains mainly unheard of to the general Nirvana-loving public. So why don't we start with the first track and work our way down?

"Blew" – 2:54

An awesome dark song with a great intro, if a bit reppetitive.
3 stars our of 5.

"Floyd the Barber" – 2:18

3 stars out of 5.

"About a Girl" – 2:48

The closest you'll ever hear to a love song from Nirvana. Cobain was taking a major risk putting such an uptempo pop song on a grunge album. However, it majorly payed off in this masterpeice.
4 and a half out of 5.

"School" – 2:42

No recess! What an intro! What a chorus! What a song!

"Love Buzz" (Robbie van Leeuwen) – 3:35

3 out of 5

"Paper Cuts" – 4:06

4 out of 5

"Negative Creep" – 2:56

This is for the true Nirvana fan. Negitive Creep is a dark, loud, somewhat disturbing song, and I love it. The intensity in Cobains voice is superb. However, being a man of the people, I can't give this one 5 starts, simply because I know many people would not agree with me.

"Scoff" – 4:10
"Swap Meet" – 3:03
"Mr. Moustache" – 3:24
"Sifting" – 5:22
"Big Cheese" – 3:42

All pretty good songs, deserving at least, a

3 out of 5

"Downer" (only on CD version) – 1:43

In Cobain's attempt at describing the existence of the human race, the bass levels hit an unusal level of awesomeness, making a really good song, even if the vocals are a little low for my liking.

4 and a half stars out of 5

Overall:

Of the three albums Nirvana has released (While Kurt Cobain was alive anyway), this ranks number 3. And yet, if I were to listen to this without hearing any of Nirvana's other material (Teen Spirit, Heart-Shaped Box, ect.) I would quickly become a Nirvana fan.
