Saying Facelift is better than Nevermind is insane. Way too much cock rock on Facelift: Put You Down, I Know Somethin (bout you) and Real Thing to close the album end it with a particularly egregious diarrhea splatter.

You're right. A better way to say it is Nevermind is a joke compared to Facelift

Look, Nevermind isn't my favorite album or anything but I'll take that slick production and easy to digest pop over a top heavy album that sounds like its recorded underwater.

Pff they are so different. Facelift is near Bleach maybe. I love how dark it is, but its hard to listen in one sit. Its too dark.

I'll give you the first two but Real Thing is good especially live. 10 killer songs out of 12 is a pretty good ratio.

I listened to Nevermind lately. Was a big letdown. Listened to In Utero later, and it was much better.
