General Album Comments:
CasanovaZelos: Nevermind is my #18 album of all time and #2 of 1991 (Primal Scream's Screamadelica is #17). An end to end masterpiece, this completely changed the music industry for good reason. The singles are striking for sure, but the true strength of Nevermind is in the less discussed tracks. The big hits are a bit on the slow side, yet songs like Territorial Pissings and Stay Away pulse with an explosive energy. I can think of few albums this frenetic, and the slower tracks serve as perfect comedowns. Not a weak moment - I think any of these could have been hits in the right circles. Heck, I have Polly in the second to last spot, and I love that song! It's easy to look back at the grunge era as the broody equivalent of the late-70s punk movement, but Nevermind as a whole is among the most intensely emotional albums ever recorded.

ZaziGuado: I think I missed the window to truly appreciate this album. The top 3 songs are all pretty great, but nothing else sticks with me. There's a definite feel of teenage rebellion throughout this album and I'm just not able to tap into that being far removed from my teenage years. Sure maybe the songs would grow on me, but I don't have much interest in letting them.

GameStonk: The front half of this album is just preposterously good. Can you imagine discovering this as a moody 15 year old in the 90s?

LiquidOshawott: I think when I was in high school this was one of my favorite albums. Now? Its still one of my favorites, and I have a newfound appreciation to some songs. I think even the lower songs are really good here

Seanchan: I don't think I've listened to Nevermind in at least a decade. I lost track of the number of times I thought "Oh yeah, THAT song!". Basically every track on the album (aside from, with good reason, Endless, Nameless) has gotten major radio play over the last nearly 30 years. A true classic.

Johnbobb: This album used to be among my favorites. I still love it a lot, even if it's dropped some spots over the years (as has Nirvana). Grunge is perhaps my favorite subgenre of music, with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden being in probably my top 10 bands, while Nirvana, STP, and Alice in Chains are all also excellent. I've listened through Nevermind at least 50 times by now, and while it's not as shocking in its style as it once was, it's still something unique. On a side note, in college, I did a presentation on the history and influence of grunge music, and one of the things I discussed was how you can hear grunge's various roots a lot in the different bands that made up the grunge movement. Nirvana drew largely from punk, Pearl Jam from classic rock, and Alice in Chains from metal.
