Product description
Nirvana - Nevermind - CD
Amazon.com
If Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed it were trying very hard to cop its style. It tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward, magnifying and distilling the wounded rage of 15 years of the rock underground into a single impassioned roar. Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like this one; of its 12 songs, roughly 10 are now standards. The record's historical weight can make it hard to hear now with fresh ears, but the monumental urgency of Kurt Cobain's screams is still shocking. --Douglas Wolk

Besides the absolutely sublime primal angst of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," there's the propulsive "Breed," and the iconoclastic "Territorial Pissings". With a mocking intro that starts falsely with "Get Together," the latter song does more than separate the generations musically and lyrically. Then, there's the expert texture of more mid-tempo gems like "Lithium," the beautifully acoustical "Polly," and the throbbing and multi-layered "Drain You". "Lounge Act" keeps the energy going and drummer, David Grohl, whose gruelling efforts are remarkable all the way, really delivers on "Stay Away". The vocal tradeoff between Cobain and bassist, Chris Novoselic proves that you can do alternative and have great voices--that is tuneful and with great trajectory. If the variations of expert guitar patterns don't disappoint, then the variety certainly scotches any complaints of formula. "Something in the Way," which closes the album, forecasts a more "unplugged" future, even though the expertise of guitar work hardly needs elaboration.
After 'Nevermind' has played endlessly on the radio, it is easy to take their work for granted. I, for one, didn't even realize that all these songs were Nirvana's. Which goes to prove that their innovations would make music new again, and it would take some people a while to catch up--not just musicians, but even some listeners.
Disc 1 - Original Album (remastered) + B-sides - I like the remaster for the most part, but to me the parts of the song with crunchy guitar almost seem to be turned up too loud in the mix, to the point where they break out of the field of a sound a bit, if that makes sense. Kurts guitar in Come As You are (not the solo) seems turned up too much in the mix also.
Disc 2 - The Smart Studio Sessions, The Boombox Rehearsals, BBC Sessions - Great disc with great quality early studio sessions and demos. This disc is awesome for getting a look at the creation of the Nevermind material from rehearsals, to early studio sessions, to a pair of early live performances.
Disc 3 - The Devonshire Mixes - Definitely an interesting CD and I love rockin' it. There are mostly minor differences in the sound and mix. An interesting document of the first draft of the completed album. For me, the On A Plain mix was the coolest of the different mixes, I loved the sound, especially the mix on Kurts vocals and the outro. This is a cool way to listen to the CD with more variety in the sound.
Disc 4 - Live at the Paramount CD - An excellent live concert with a ton of material - 19 tracks in all. Each song is played incredibly and Kurts vocals are right on. Incredible sound and performance all around.
Disc 5 - Live at the Paramount DVD - The 16mm film makes watching this concert much more interesting than the normal "concert on DVD." Kurt knocking down the mic stand during a song, and breaking his guitar at the end are cool as well. This could easily have been released as a theatrical release. Krist's statement "White boy funk sucks!" is also funny. Having the 4 videos from the album are also awesome to have together with the concert.
The Book - The book has high quality color pictures of the band during the time of the recording and promoting the album including pics of the infamous pool photo shoot, with the band in the pool. There are lyrics, expense reports, pictures of singles released, magazine articles, pics of the music video shoots, etc. Very thorough, color picture heavy book.
So here's what I would say are the main deficiencies...
#1 - Price - This was outrageously expensive. You can get the first two discs and the concert on DVD for right under $40. For The extra $70 I paid, I got the Devonshire mixes (Disc 3), a poster, and the book. Give a fair value of $15 to the Devonshire disc, and $5 to the poster, and you're looking at $50 for the book. The book is really nice but $50? It's also worth noting Anyone reading this is certainly going to pay more than $110 like I did because they're limited to 40,000 worldwide and have sold out so now you're going to be buying from a re-seller.
#2 - Remaster Of Original Album - Definitely wish the original album would have had a touch more care put into the remastering job - minor gripe.
#3 - Missing "Song In D" - Why this song was excluded on this $100+ "Super Deluxe" album is beyond me. It's an unreleased Nevermind sessions instrumental. Vig and Grohl were recently joking around about the fact that the song was not included on this set, and Grohl laughingly said "Sounds like another box set!" This 5 disc release of the original "single disc" album and they leave off that one instrumental? Uncool in my opinion. I certainly hope they don't make us poor fans buy another $100+ set to get that one song in the future.
#4 - Packaging - This set is highly prone to smudges and fingerprints and seems to have a horrible reaction to the oil on human skin. I've already put a few smudges that won't come off on the case and have to wash my hands before handling the set each time. I ripped all of the music from the CD's to high quality 320kbps mp3s so that I don't have to open it and mess with it all the time. Also, the CD's are slid into cardboard cutouts in the book, which is guaranteed to scratch the discs if you take them out more than a few times, regardless of how careful you are. The case is basically the exact size of a square record sleeve but is a little over an inch thick. If you're a product of the 90s (like me) and don't have storage for LP's, storing it can be a bit awkward.
These four issues make me drop a star to a 4 out of 5 rating, which is accurate for my level of satisfaction. I would never give mine up now that I have it and I love this set! The positives easily outweigh the negatives here and having official versions of all this highly bootlegged material is awesome to both benefit the artists, and get higher quality versions of this material.
I can smell a similar release in a couple of years for In Utero, which I look forward to.
Rock On!
