Nirvana - In Utero

Image
  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the last studio album from Nirvana, In Utero. After the success of Nevermind , Kurt Cobain wanted to go for a less polished sound, and feature much noisier and abrasive songs on here. We open with Serve The Servants. Not much to say here, just your usual catchy grunge tune. I must say that I really like the occasional dissonant guitar squeals. Scentless Apprentice is one of the noisier songs on here. But the highlight here is definetly the singing. Kurt screams like he never usually does. They way he just yells into the microphone is ear-piercing, but amazing at the same time. i think we all know heart shaped box. and the controversial, rape me. Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle is more the usual grunge. Not much else to comment on here. It's not bad by any mean, but I've heard much cooler grunge songs. Dumb is definetly one of my favourite tracks on here. I love the melancholic feel, and accom...

Nirvana - Nevermind

  Happy Halloween everyone! Today, I will be reviewing Nirvana's sophomore release, Nevermind. After there rough, but acceptable debut , I was curious as to how the band would improve. These guys aren't legendary for no reason. Listening to this album, we see improvements on all fronts from the band. Plus, Dave Grohl is now on drums. Anyway, let's see what they have too offer on here... and we start with smells like teen spirit. very nice. then in bloom. very nice. come as you are. breed. and lithium. yeah the beginning of this album goes hard. Then we take a break from the hard rock with Polly, probably the band's darkest song. It only features an acoustic guitar and Kurt's raspy voice. The song is a tribute to a 14 year old who was kidnapped and tortured, the lyrics reflecting the perspective of the kidnapper. It's haunting, yet hard hitting. Territorial Pissings sounds like a more aggressive pop punk song. Kurt screams at the top of his lungs on here. Combine...

Nirvana - Bleach

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the debut album of Nirvana, Bleach. You should definetly know who Nirvana is, or at least was. Seattle grunge band, they were the kings of rock in the early 90s. Their core line-up consisted of Kurt Cobain on vocals and guitar, Krist Novoselic on bass, and Dave Grohl on drums, however he wouldn't become a part of the band until their second album. So, let's see what this album has to offer... We open with Blew. Hammering drums and a very thicc bassline, like damn. The guitar also sounds pretty good. The vocals do sound a bit awkward, specifically when Kurt is shouting. All in all, a pretty good opener. Next we have Floyd The Barber, which opens on some with hammering drums, thicc bass and some epic guitars, but the vocals sound bad. The sound like a parody of themselves. At points, he sounds like English isn't his first language. About A Girl is a bit catchier than the other two songs. The guitar isn'...

Radiohead - Pablo Honey

  Yup, we're reviewing Radiohead. Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be discussing Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey. First of all, who is this band? Well, if you're reading this than you already know who they are. I don't have tell you who this band is, let's get into the review. We start with You, which sounds like a generic 90s grunge song. I'm going to just say it, this song is boring and overdramatic. Next we have the band's most famous song, Creep. Now, most Radiohead fans will absolutely hate this song, and so does the band. But, I must acknowledge that this song is pretty good. How Do You?   sounds really generic. Stop Whispering is boring. Thinking About You is actually pretty nice, given the use of weirder guitar plucks and calmer feel. Anyone Can Play Guitar returns to the generic sound. Ripchord sounds the same. So does Vegetable. And Prove Yourself. And I Can't. I'm not trying to be lazy here, the songs are just so...
