  1. One of those rare, near-flawless works of art that only grows finer with age.

    The album is amazing. The reissue is amazing. The band is amazing.

    This reissue tweaks the sound with little discernible effect, and adds a package of goodies.

    Every inch of tape had emotional or melodic purpose. [Nov 2011, p.109]

    All of the negative reviews would not exist for this album if the songs were exactly the same but it did not gain the publicity and fame that it did. It is clearly one of the greatest albums of all time. Collapse

  3. 5
    Mediocre album from a mediocre band. Amazing lyrics but fails at the horrid guitar playing, boring bass work, only thing to save it was the drumming. Yes, he did steal the riff for Come as you are and u can make a case for him stealing the beginning of Smells Like Teen Spirit from the Smashing Pumpkins cover of Godzilla in 1990, nevertheless it has some decent songs on it. If u want to listen to something like Nirvana, listen to the band he was trying to copy.... The Pixies. If you still think Nevermind is good after listening to the Pixies then u r crazy Expand
