I Feel Stupid And Contagious / A Nirvana Thread

[Sloppy Dupree]

I was thinking the other day… are there any people who would pick Bleach over In Útero and Nevermind? I bet there are some crazy people like that.

[VinylGuy]

Probably someone like Trag maybe? To see if it helps with the street creed?

But Albini did In Utero so not sure...

[VinylGuy]

Also JFC Kim Gordon is fucking hot.

[bodysnatcher]

There are absolutely days (more often than not) that I’d much rather listen to Bleach over Nevermind

[wease]

Breed fucking jammed. Altho, she seemed to have a monitor problem that kept her singing behind the music the whole time.

Really cool they did Breed and School. Those are my two favorite Nirvana tunes.

I still listen to Bleach and Unplugged from time to time. Haven’t reached for the other ones in at least 15 years.

[Birds in Hell]

I'm always happy to see these guys playing together.

This isn't a knock on Jett etc, but Kim G's appearance was the only one where I felt they captured something vaguely close to the spirit of the band - but that's fine, it's a big ask.

in terms of the musical content, bleach is my fave album

the live shows from the bleach into nevermind phase are my fave

[liebzz]

When I went hardest into Nirvana from 1993-1998, despite loving all three albums, there was something about Incesticide that I was always most drawn to. Getting older, I have to report that I come back to Nevermind. Yet I have a lot of love for the rawness of In Utero. These guys didn’t have enough time together to turn sour - the material is top notch wherever you look.

If I get the Nirvana itch I turn to Utero but all of their records are solid gold top 1% all time.

From 2017:

If Bleach had the production of In Utero, it would be my favorite Nirvana album.

And I hate Nevermind. Glad to never hear it again.

Called it!!

Lol. Lmao.

The RSD Albini Remix of In Utero is a super fun change of pace too. It’ll never supplant the original version, though a few of his remixes — Very Ape, Rape Me, Pennyroyal Tea — all improve on the original.

I'll take all the Utero I can get. The subsequent deluxe and remixed versions have all been very welcome. Albini was undoubtably the perfect choice for that record.

[Happy Trees]

Arguably, but that wasn't the goal.

They just wanted to make new mixes that were deliberately different from the originals, because they had no alternates to include - Albini was that efficient.

[Matters]

The natural assumption is that after Unplugged they would’ve taken a more acoustic approach going forward.

[Ello Sailor]

Having a kid is the gateway to acoustic guitar.

[Matters]

On Unplugged, they played with an intricacy that they hadn’t displayed before and Kurt brought in guest musicians that elevated the performance from great to legendary.

[Matters]

Unplugged in New York was Kurt Cobain’s masterpiece.
