yeah, super incredible debut. Im not putting it against SU but its up there with the best of the 90s. I think AIC best is tripod though.

they were the first of the group that i really fell in love with

and seriously the Yeah at the beginning of It Ain't Like That is top notch

yeah, because at that time they were doing Load.

Garbage

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.

Here's another gushing about Facelift

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