Not an out-and-out awful song from Bleach, but probably something that would be summarily dismissed on first listening were it not attached to the Nirvana legacy. The song is forgettable noise, but you can only assume that was entirely the point. This deeply unhappy lyric from ‘93’s In Utero feels uncomfortable, like you’re spying on someone’s private grief.
After the phenomenal success of Nevermind, the band – and Cobain in particular – had a hard time processing their unplanned move from difficult outsiders to media darlings. What Nirvana mean to me, by Frank CarterĪ case of Nirvana biting the hands that feeds.How Nirvana Changed The Face Of Rock Music Forever.Every song on Nirvana's Nevermind, ranked from worst to best.The trouble is, this sounds like anger without any useful outlet. It has an interesting, almost eastern-sounding riff going on, but its punk thrashing is designed to be dumb, to refute any labels people might have wanted to put on the band. Fun to play maybe, but not fun to listen to.Ī one minute 35 second primal scream from In Utero, again designed to kick Nirvana’s status as mainstream ‘alternative’ into touch. This is the sound of a band trying to be deliberately difficult as Cobain pulls out screechy vocals and nondescript funk licks, then crashes them into Krist Novoselic’s obtuse bass-walking. Kurt said he regretted not putting it on Bleach. “Slippery pessimist, hypocrite master, conservative communist apocalyptic bastard.” An adrenaline rush that fades away as fast as it first came along.Ī previously unreleased tune that was included on 1992’s Incesticide compilation album. The only tune from Cobain’s 1985 Fecal Matter demo to make official album status when it was included on the CD version of 1989’s Bleach, it features a fast and furious hardcore-inspired rant about all sorts of barely intelligible stuff.
