Nirvana - Bleach (Deluxe Edition)
Ironically, this package was always going to be one for the completists, but those who’ll actually get the most from Bleach are still the Nevermind fans left feeling alienated by the gnarled triumph that was In Utero.

You've forgotten to close the italics after 'Live At Pine Street Theatre'
Good review though. I love this album.
Incorrect
A DiS reviewer giving Bleach only 7/10? I hear the cosmos omitting a rip-roaring fart squeal in disgust. No way can the various paragraphs of inevitably humourless "Now, let me put this into perspective for you" style post-degree chin-stoking be anything less than an abomination. I won't read a word of it. Shame on you, you nad-less fool.
i never liked this record
Nevermind >>> In Utero >>>> Live at the Wishkah >>>>>> Unplugged >>>>>> Insesticide >>>>>>>> Bleach
great comment nicksjones, really insightful
It would probably get 6 if it wasn't for the live add-on.
In Utero knocks it into a hatted cock at literally every turn, and there's little point in discussing reissues if we don't filter them through some degree of perspective/hindsight.
Bleach is a scruffy pup - a very lovable album, but by no means a truly great one.
You've got the first two in the wrong order. ;)
Apart from that - and the fact that Wishkah doesn't really feel like it should count - I largely agree.
Nevermind wishes it was In Utero. And if it doesn't, it should.
I like that you namecheck my two favourites from Incesticide together - Big Long Now and Aero Zeppelin :)
Fat compression
Is the reason the drums are higher in the mix. But some treble has been rolled off the splash of the cymbals.
You're a cock,
you're a cock, you're a cock.
That comment
made me frightened.
^ what he said
In Utero is the where Nivana is at.
True though, I'm afraid
Not one for audiophiles.
This is possibly
the most ill-informed review I have ever read, and not even speaking from personal bias. 'About a Girl' comparable to 'Rape Me'? Are you mad? They're not remotely similar - if anything the rhythm of RM is reminiscent to Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that's as far as the likeness goes. And Floyd The Barber? Lightweight? Are you deaf as well as mad? And two-chord? What about all the other chords in it? What about the middle 8?
I could go on but it's making me angry.
Have you ever seen a band play before?
Have you ever even seen a musical instrument?
Did you even listen to the album, or just look at the pictures and the sleeve then throw it all in the bin when you realised it didn't have the man from the Foo Fighters playing on it?
And how old were you when Bleach came out anyway? 2?
ha ha ha ha
not that there's any reason you should know Mr Powell's bio, but you're WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off the mark here.
This is possibly
the best comment ever.
And no, I've never done any of those things. Busted!
I like in depth reviews
and this is ok on that front but it seems a bit like reading Dickins or something. Really like trawling through mud. Here's a cumbersome example: "incongruously winsome, quasi-freakbeat jangle" when discribing About a Girl.
Don't agree with all of it but only skimmed read the end and generally, you're not emant to agree with reviews so much as appriciate what they're trying to say.
Basically it's s'lright
kthxbye
