Nevermind vs. Bleach

Discuss.

I'll have to think about it. I'm leaning towards Bleach though.

[dirtylenny]

i think they're pieces of the same puzzle and they work better when understood as such.

Nevermind is the better album, but I prefer Bleach.

[chevelle]

I didn't even have to think about it. Nevermind for me. The songwriting is simply more developed than Bleach, and the production is much better, too. I do like Bleach, but after a while it gets too samey.

Nevermind - I get bored after listening to Bleach

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

Love both, but I've always liked Nevermind better. In Utero is much better however.

[Snake Eyes]

Nevermind, Bleach is great but the songwriting in Nevermind wins it for me.

[Calm Like A Bomb]

Love both, but I've always liked Nevermind better. In Utero is much better however.

Agreed, i usually do i agree with you SS :xmasssanta:

[Lithium]

I don't see how anyone can deny that Nevermind is their best album. I personally prefer Bleach, though.

[Leigh-Rok!]

Man, I haven't listened to Nirvana for years. Like many people, Nevermind was my introduction to Nirvana, so I would naturally say this album. Bleach was certainly a darker album IMO.

Both are good, but "Nevermind" sold like 20 million+ for a reason.

That reason was 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

With a song like that on your record, you're going into orbit...

Out of the two, Nevermind but I prefer In Utero out of all of them. Their best in my opinion.

[Superfuzz]

In Utero > Bleach > Nevermind

Although they're all really great albums. It's just based on personal preference. I listened to Nevermind too much when I first got into Nirvana, so I'm sick of it now.

[LightningBolt]

Bleach.

[The Macaroni Incident?]

1. In Utero

2. Nevermind

3. Bleach

But they are all terrific albums in their own right. Each album is what Nirvana wanted at that point in their career. Bleach was the Sub Pop Seattle riff rock album, Nevermind was the melodic pop rock album, and In Utero was the low-fi noise record. Of course had Kurt not died he was talking of Nirvana going into an acoustic direction similar to R.E.M.'s "Automatic For The People." It's crazy to think that its been 15 years already and the music still stands the test of time.

[LightningBolt]

I didn't think Nirvana "wanted" to do a Nevermind type album, even when they did it, though I could be mistaken.

And, I'm not sure, I've just heard this somewhere, but wasn't Cobain thinking of firing Dave Grohl and the bassist after In Utero? I could be way off, but I've heard it somewhere.

[kevdo242]

He sent them a message saying the band was over, but it was a few days before he killed himself so it wasn't made public. I could be wrong though.

I saw this cool interview last week with Kirk Hammet talking about Kurt being into Metallica. Apparently around when Bleach came out, he went to a show in Seattle and was in the snake pit and asked Kirk to play Whiplash.

I know it's not entirely relevant, but I was just reminded of it by the talk about Bleach. I had no idea he would have been into metal at all.

The more you know...

Kurt was a big Celtic Frost fan aswell.

[Pegasus]

I like Incesticide the best cause of all the weirdness. Then Nevermind.
