 "Like Bleach, guitar heavy bubblegum punk. Cobain sings hurt and misery." Q
"A dynamic mix of sizzling power chords, manic energy and sonic restraint. Nirvana erects sturdy melodic structures, sing-along hard rack as defined by groups like the Replacements, Pixies and Sonic Youth - but then attacks them with frenzied screaming and guitar havoc" Rolling Stone
 "Nevermind is the big American alternative record of the autumn. But better still, it'll last well into next year." NME 9/10  
 "North-western rock act that raised Cain on Sub Pop delivers a hard-rocking sludgeorama on major-label debut. Power trio crunches brutally, but never at the expense of hooks that should snag modern rockers. Lead-off track Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Breed, and Stay Away all have enough fever to snare target audiences." Billboard  
“We came up with so much stuff where we’d  go, God this is the best thing we’ve ever done!” Dave Grohl, drummer, Nirvana
