Negative Positive
Title: The proof
Review: This is the recording that proves that Nirvana were a great band. This changes them from punks with memories stretching back no further than the last Pixies album into folk blues aesthetes with historical credibility. It forces the listener to concentrate on the songs and the abilities of their performers. It transcends inclusive musical boundaries and appeals to a wider range of listeners. It's Nirvana for your mom!Not to mention the fact that stripping down these songs makes them sound much more emotional. Instead of the juvenile angst of a fun punk song we get slow, somber meditations. It can be more depressing. In some situations I prefer this. It speaks to me, while Nevermind justs sings to me, if you understand me (you don't, but don't worry about it). And finally: Kurt sings like he's not long to live, which he hadn't, and that is what makes a blues singer.
Is the review positive or negative?
