iTunes Review

For the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s landmark Nevermind album, several different versions are available. All feature remastered sound that brings up the volume and slightly smooths the rougher edges without sacrificing the band’s power and appeal. The super deluxe edition is the ultimate collection; yet for those wanting to experience more music from that rich creative era without breaking the bank, the deluxe edition has a terrific cross-section of outtakes, live cuts, b-sides, and original Nevermind recordings made with producer Butch Vig at his Smart Studios, along with “boombox demos” that feature Nirvana at its most raw and ready. The riches are overwhelming. The “boombox” recordings of “Old Age,” “Come as You Are,” and, of course, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” prove how much Kurt Cobain’s voice could do naturally. The cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Here She Comes Now,” the alternate take of “Polly,” and multiple versions of “Something in the Way” show off the band’s underrated softer side.

How to Write a Review That Nobody Will Read

Nevermind the naysayers that are wasting their time writing negative reviews of this classic. Fans such as I aren't paying attention to your incoherent ramblings, so save your breath and whatever calories you have burned by typing. Seriously though, it's pretty hilarious how off base such comments are. The record changed a lot of things and not all of it for better, but to deny it's relevance is just plain ignorant. Still, none of that wouldn't mean anything without the great songwriting, which it has in spades. Nirvana weren't about technical playing proficiency. They were about simple, emotionally powerful songs that cut to your soul. Anything Dave Grohl has done since has paled in comparison and he has gone to great lengths to praise the merits of this album himself. We all know such people aren't going to stop us from checking this out, so let's just laugh at them and move on. Whatever music that is so much more "worth my time" was likely influenced by this record if it is rock and roll and has been released in the last two decades. Where's the classic album you made that changed the face of popular music? Jealousy is such a bitter emotion.

Nevermind Super Deluxe Version

Having listened to Nevermind in this remastered form (Super Deluxe Boxset), I must say it is quite good. The sound is very clear when compared to the 1991 CD. The volume has been slightly increased but it luckily is not a victim of the loudness wars. The Smart Sound Sessions tracks show the band's beginning and are decent sound quality but those versions are hardly essential. You won't find yourself using the repeat button. The Boombox Rehearsal tapes, although recorded on what appears to be a crappy tape deck, are cool to hear. There is something genuinely amazing about hearing the band in such an intimate yet powerful way. You wouldn’t necessarily put those songs on repeat either but within the context of the boxset, they are a welcomed addition. The finest part of this boxset is perhaps the most anticipated, The Devonshire Mixes a.k.a. The Butch Vig Mixes. This is basically the version of the finished record before mixer Andy Wallace got his hands on it, or the way the band thought it should sound. To be honest, the results aren’t all that different. They're the same songs with the polish scrubbed off. If anything they sound less focused and more grungy. I was expecting these to sound radically difference but they really don't. You won’t hear it and have a “second-coming-of-Jesus” experience because in truth it wasn’t the production that made Nevermind so good. It was the songs and if you need three hours of them to make you realize it then you weren’t listening closely enough in the first place. In truth, I believe the Andy Wallace mix of Nevermind, as originally released, is the essential version. So, while this collection is impressive, unless you are a hardcore fan who needs to have everything, your original version of Nevermind or the remastered single disc version will do just fine.

Tim The Clown

Really Tim? You don't have to like this album, but it changed a lot. First, it was recorded before Pro Tools which most of the bands you like now use. So, you actually had to have talent back then. While I enjoy some of the bands today, they really all sound the same when you think about it. Second, this album came out before Nickelback , Staind, Matchbox Twenty, and brought alternative music to the forefront. It was a whole movement. So, you don't have to like it, but you should respect it. Third, the Beatles were three chord songs also, but that doesn't mean they weren't brilliant. Between the lyrics and music. It doesn't have to have more for it to be great. It makes me sad listening to this album remastered because even though it was over 20 years ago it absolutely destroys whats out today. Times were different back then so imagine when it first got released.

Biography

Formed: 1987 in Aberdeen, WA

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s

Prior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores, and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. After the band's second album, 1991's Nevermind, nothing was ever quite the same, for better and for worse. Nirvana popularized punk, post-punk, and indie rock, unintentionally bringing it into the American mainstream like no other band to date. While their sound was equal parts Black Sabbath (as learned by fellow Washington underground...
