Nevermind. An album with a sound familiar to everybody by now. Thousands started copying this "legendary" band once they've listened to the stuff that came out under their signature. This particular album is considered by many a legendary classic, and a must-have. Critics all around the world were ecstatic once they got a whiff of this. Why does it leave me so cold then? I don't really enjoy this band, and I certainly don't enjoy the thousands that adopted this style either. I'm not saying that I totally disagree with the style of playing, but bands like Alice In Chains or Soundgarden somehow sound a lot better to me than the "rebel" Nirvana. Although it would be naive to ignore tha fact that "Nevermind" really is one of the most famous albums of all time, we don't have to be fooled into thinking that it is also one of the greatest. This band isn't much more than a very lucky garage band with a "bad boy" attitude. Personally, I blame bands like Nirvana (or the success of such bands, to be more precise) for distroying real rock 'n roll culture, and bringing music to the level it is at now. They practically killed heavy metal. Now, how should I admire that (not even mentioning how much I hate punk music and everything that is associated with it)? While keeping in mind that Nirvana, and "Nevermind", did represent a revolution in music (very good thing for many), I couldn't really grade the record according to my own feelings. It is what it is, but I still don't like it.
