BreedĪ throwback to Bleach but streets ahead. The hairs will stand up on the back of your neck. You can deny your love for Nevermind’s opener all you like, but when Smells Like Teen Spirit kicks in and you haven’t heard it in a while… you will get shivers down your spine. This song defined a generation 25 years ago and it’s still pretty much perfect.

The quiet/loud dichotomy is in full swing here and it’s another of Nevermind’s examples of perfection.Įveryone works in tandem. The grunge singalong that survives in clubs, pubs, bedrooms and anywhere else people have ears and lungs Lithium is a fucked-up love song of the most vehemently infectious kind. What more could you want? The other five tracks, maybe. The idea that Cobain was coaxed into double-tracking his vocals because Vig said “ John Lennon did it” is yet another handy conduit between Nirvana and The Beatles, showcasing Cobain’s command of pop and, well, you’ve got Grohl on top of that. Novoselic once said that In Bloom “originally sounded like Bad Brains, then Kurt turned it into a pop song.” There’s no reason why it couldn’t sound like Bad Brains, but the fact Cobain refuted any notion of hardcore and instead embraced those wonderful vocal harmonies with Grohl is a titanic statement. It slows down for like two bars and that’s it until the thundering, Grohl-induced climax. Nirvana were often tagged as miserable bastards and while In Utero had its morbid moments, Drain You is a few minutes of unbridled adrenaline. The B-side to Smells Like Teen Spirit does possess a riff achingly reminiscent of the A-side, but Drain You excels in other ways. The improvisational hidden track whacked onto the end, Endless Nameless, is a far cry from the rest of Nevermind, and opts for a noisy Melvins-esque attack on the senses. The simple, heartfelt chorus is a shining example of Cobain’s knowledge of the pop hook, while a haunting cello gives the track a mournful feel.
Something In The Way was originally recorded by Cobain on his battered acoustic guitar, with Grohl and Novoselic recording their parts later.
