Nirvana by Nirvana (USA)

Pros: The digitally-remastered sound of Cobain's Grunge-Coda Is pure Nirvana.
Cons: The demons Cobain left behind, maintain his estate, but not his artistic vision.

"HOPE I DIE BEFORE I TURN INTO PETE TOWNSHEND..."

...Reads an entry jotted in one of the notebook journals left behind by Nirvana's astrally onward-traveling frontman, Kurt Cobain. Eight years after a point-blank blast from...

Pros: (Most) all of the hits wrapped up in one tidy package! That new song...
Cons: Not at all comprehensive. It feels like a marketing ploy.

I was with Nirvana from the moment they broke into the mainstream scene. I wasn’t nearly as angry or as disenchanted with the world and life as the band would have liked with a fan, but my status as a teenager in middle-America was definitely the quo ...

Pros: Even those sonically opposed to loud rock will love the melodies on here.
Cons: None really. I wouldn't have minded the studio version of "All Apologies".

In the eight years since his death in 1994, the question of the legend of Kurt Cobain has been debated many times over. Fact of the matter is, the guy was a first-rate songwriter and bandleader who, in his short career, created much classic material....

Pros: An Excellent Compilation from Nirvana.
Cons: Hardcore fans will be upset over omissions of fave album cuts.

Throughout their brief but amazing lifespan, no band had changed the face of music better than Nirvana did in the early 1990s. Taking the pop melodies of the Beatles, the abrasive noise of punk, the droning riffs of Black Sabbath, and the...

Pros: All the famous songs are here; "You Know You're Right"
Cons: Nirvana junkies won't find much new material

With Nirvana being known as one of the best rock n’ grunge bands of all time, putting together a collection of the band’s top hits was a no-brainer. On Nirvana, that’s exactly what you get, a “greatest hits” album if you will. ...

Pros: All the songs contained on here are good.
Cons: Nothing new, good songs missing, buy it and put more money in Ms. Love's pocket.

From: Courtney Love, owner of the rights to Nirvana material To: Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, former Nirvana members. CC: David Geffen, Record Company CEO. Re: Marketing scheme (Plans for Nirvana Greatest Hits album). Hey guys. Just wanted ...

Pros: You Know You're Right
Cons: The most obvious (and bland) track choices, poor liner notes, and so on

There are only a scant few number of bands or musical artists out there today that can say, without question, that they actually and literally changed the face of music. And even if you can find one, it’s more than likely that they didn’t change...

Pros: Good package overall.
Cons: From a not-so-good band.

As you can probably guess by reading my previous reviews, and the admittedly harsh title of this review, I in no way claim to be a fan of Nirvana. I suppose I had to have "been there" when they broke out into the mainstream back in 1991 to really ...

Pros: You Know You're Right truly rules
Cons: it's a kick in the nuts to the diehard Nirvana fan

With a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, an entire music movement was snuffed out. With a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, one of the most important bands in American music history ended. And with a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, one...

Pros: You Know You're Right is a great rarity
Cons: nothing more than a money making tool

hmmm, greatest hits collections, best of albums, and what ever record labels these days use to make money off bands that have broken up a long time ago. they all have the same problems and recommendations. "its good place for someone wanting to get into ...

Pros: Most songs here are great.
Cons: Arrangement, a few songs, the obvious marketing ploy

(ScaryBitch100 has just signed on.) IRawkKthx: Hey, Courtney! It's me, Ali! ScaryBitch100: Hey, bab...oh, sorry, I thought you were someone else. IRawkKthx: ...Right...well, I really need to talk to you about something. May I ask you a question? ...

Pros: You know you're right...
Cons: But I'm not so sure...

If you really want Nirvana's greatest hits, just pick up a copies of Nevermind and In Utero, 10 bucks each. And the review could end there. But you see, long ago I was bored and tired at a Target Supercenter, and ...

Pros: Some new stuff. Slightly remastered songs.
Cons: Mostly old re-released stuff...

Finally. That's all I can say. I remember back in 95' or so, right after Cobain's death (which was '94, I know), the band had plans to release a bunch of unreleased material. It was supposedly too hard ofr the remaining band members, and nothing new was...

Pros: Is there really a point in giving pros and
Cons: Cons for this timeless collection of tunes, like it or not?

It's almost impossible to imagine the impact that Nirvana had. If you add up all the bands that followed them in all their mid-90s glory (Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam), plus the groups that fought amongst themselves to be the trio's successors after lead ...

Pros: You Know You're Right
Cons: Why did we buy this again?

What made Nirvana so special and memorable was their big impact on the music scene in such a short amount of time. With remarkable brevity the band went from unheard of garage band to international success and changing how we precieve rock music forever. ...
