Nirvana US - Incesticide CD

 Finally, album-quality B-sides
Here's a song by song analysis in my personal opinion (*=personal favorites). *Dive: A perfect first song. Sliver: On the greatest hits album. Stain: A heavy, cool song. Been A Son: Also on the greatest hits album. *Turnaround: A Devo cover. For some reason, this song is the most appealing to me from this album. I like it's tone and mood, and I like when Kurt does the "Who said don't look back?..." part. Molly's Lips: A Vaselines cover. Son Of A Gun: Another Vaselines cover. (New Wave) Polly: An interesting rock version of the hit, Polly. Beeswax: Another heavy, cool song. *Downer: A huge favorite of mine. This song is the last song on their first album, Bleach, and was probably put on here for promotion. This song was one they played live a lot when they first started out as a band, and it was hard to hear Kurt's murmurs over the blasting guitars. You can make out the lyrics in the great studio version here, though, (and it's easier if you look up the lyrics first, though some are debated) and I find them very dark and cool, i.e. "...Hand out labotomies to save little families..." *Mexican Seafood: I don't know why this is one of my favorites, it just is. I think it's because the rhythmic pattern of Kurt's stabbing vocals is distinct and cool. *Hairspray Queen: If this was in a Nirvana song dictionary, it would say "see Tourette's" (my favorite Nirvana song ever, don't ask). Like that song, this song is mostly just jibberish, but unlike Tourette's this is a bit slower, and sounds sort of poppish. But mostly it sounds weird...and for some reason I like that. Aero Zeppelin: A mostly slow song that's really cool. Big Long Now: A nice song that sounds a lot like the previous track, except quieter. *Aneurysm: This is one of Nirvana's best songs. It wreaks of distortion, but welcome distortion. As soon as you hear the catchy line "Come on over and do the twist," you are hooked. A fantasting finale to this B-sides collection.

 Amazing
This album captures the real Nirvana, so far removed from the radio friendly Nevermind. Those of you who are fans of grunge music, I suggest you buy this, it's a perfect collection of songs for your personal listening pleasure. GRUNGE ALL THE WAY!.

 Crazy Good!
This is probably one of Nirvana's greatest albums. If you liked Nevermind & In Utero then you'll like this album for sure. Be sure to listen to Aneurysm, Polly, Dive, Hairspray Queen and Sliver. The first time i listened to it i thought it was terrible but i listen to it a couple more times and now i love it BUY THIS NOW!

 AWESOME!!!!!
Seriously this is one of their best albums. From the heaviniess in "Dive" to the awesome song of "Molly's Lips" you can't ask for anything more! Molly's Lips is a faster cover that will make you bounce around and sing "Kiss, Kiss, Molly Lips" over and over again. Truly an awesome album with some songs from their earlier days like when Bleach came out and some stuff that sounds like stuff from in utero and nevermind.
