ITT: Stip doesn't respect Bleach and people get upset

[DeLima]

Scentless Apprentice is an abomination.

WHAT.

Seriously stip. What.

Also Grohl wrote the riff.

[matt reeder]

Someone at Geffen obviously thought highly enough of Bleach to sign Nirvana to a major label deal based on the strength of it. Considering it hardly fit the formula of what was selling in huge numbers at the time, that counts for something in my eyes. And Bleach very much was critically lauded upon it's release, so the idea that it's only held up because of Nevermind and In Utero doesn't really hold water in my opinion.

This.

And then there's this, which is other reason Geffen signed Nirvana. The tapes made from that session set off a bidding war amongst the major labels. It's still a great listen and one of the best "unreleased" (though released in full now, with one exception) albums you'll ever hear.

I was not aware that bleach was critically acclaimed before nevermind. Now we can just chalk this up to people being too easily impressed rather than Kurt Cobain mythologizing!

[Jorge]

We can chalk it up to you being the worst.

[stip]

Platy is probably closer to the truth there, Harmless.

[epilogue]

I may not agree with what Stip says, but I'll defend to the death his right to say it. Especially now that it has its own thread.

Also, Scentless Apprentice is the goddamn best kind of face-fuck rock. I LOVE it.

[epilogue]

Stip's a MOD even! Hilarious.

yeah, but I really only mod one forum.

I's just busting your chops, friend. Personally, I like it when threads derail and become about whatever. Keeps shit exciting. Most of my favorite threads right now aren't really about what the thread title says they're about.

You do good work, is what I'm saying, I guess. You're just an idiot about Bleach.

[Alex]

i know i'm probably stating what's already been said a number of times in this thread, but i don't respect stip's opinions

[DeLima]

stip was born scentless and senseless

[stip]

yeah, I just listened again. That song sucks. There are some real claw your ears off moments in it.

[stip]

the rest of in utero is pretty incredible, though

[stip]

actually, I don't like Milk it or Tourettes either.

[stip]

I wish I had in utero on my ipod right now. I want to listen to it

[epilogue]

I think Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is the only 'meh' thing about In Utero. Everything else is aces!

[stip]

I like Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, but it's at the bottom of the songs I like.

[epilogue]

It's not bad, it's just not as good as the rest of the album. Still, worst song on In Utero is still pretty great.

[nyquillyn]

actually, I don't like Milk it or Tourettes either.

Milk It is my favorite Nirvana song by a wide margin.

[epilogue]

Milk It is great. Tourette's would be annoying if it was longer. But as it is, I think it's pretty brilliant. Great placement, great burst. Tongue in cheek. Yeah, it works really well, I think.

Scentless Apprentice is an abomination

Why are you like this? Do you think it's funny?
