Nirvana is a band I grew up with, I was listening to “Nevermind” in grade school and just thought the band was great and probably didn’t know anything different at that time. I had the cassette tape because CD Walkman wasn’t even invented. By the time I got into my teens; a friend name Chris that lived with us but was more like a brother to me put me onto their other albums. We would walk to Coop Records on Locust Street in Davenport, next to Big 10 gas station, and buy used rock CDs. “You know you’re right” was the single off this album when they released it and its sort of like a greatest hits album with a new single that was also great. Kurt Cobain has always vibed with me, the lyrics to his songs have always been on my mind throughout the years. The titles of these songs have always been in my head and I have tried to try and understand what the meanings of the lyrics are.

This album just reminds me of the ’90s, but also in the 2000s when this collection of songs was released. “I love you, I'm not gonna crack” from “Lithium” is saying “crack”; I always thought he was saying “I’m not coming back” according to genius.com. “lithium” only has 4 lines for each verse and only two verses. Kurt didn’t write much but he always made a great song from the little lyrics in the song. “The Man Who Sold the World” from the album is a David Bowie cover and it’s great but I think the album's best track is “In Bloom”. “Sell the kids for food/ Weather changes moods/Spring is here again/Reproductive glands” from the start of “In Bloom” is just random thoughts but also make for a great song somehow the way Kurt sings them. “Bruises on the fruit/ Tender age in bloom” from the second verse in “In Bloom” where the title of the song is mentioned but I always thought he was saying “Time to Rage and bloom”.

7 song album:

Come As You Are
You Know You’re Right
Smells Like Teen Spirit
In Bloom
Lithium
Heart-Shaped Box
All Apologies
