Editorial Reviews
Released in 1991, Nirvana's sophomore album and major label debut elevated Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from a critically acclaimed cult band to generation spokesmen who'd unwittingly created a cultural shift and musical touchstone. Rising to #1 and ultimately selling over 30 million copies worldwide, Nevermind would come to be much more than one of the most successful and influential albums of the Rock era. Now on the occasion of Nevermind's 20th anniversary, Universal presents a full spectrum re-release worthy of such a pivotal classic.

It's kid of funny when I think back and remember asking my friends in high school if they heard this song from Nirvana called teen spirit or something like that and I kind of liked it. Oh! you heard it and liked it too? that's cool, I think I might get their CD this week and listen to the rest of what they have to offer. Well kids, they turned out to being a fairly popular band later, although my favorite song of theirs didn't come till later with In-Bloom.
Nirvana were my favorite band for many years, and still are easily in my top 10. This album was never my favorite from them. That honor has always gone to In Utero for me, but this is the classic that made that album possible, and there was a time where this was probably my 2nd favorite album of all time behind In Utero.
I'm giving a 4 star rating, because anything under that seems ludicrous, judging the songs by themselves. I, however, agree with all the 1 star reviews complaining about the remaster, and if I wasn't worried about it impacting the rating of an all around fantastic piece of music, I would give it the same.
I was ecstatic when this remaster was first announced. By the time it was announced, the original version of this album sounded dated to me. It didn't always sound this way to me, but by 2011 this album sounded most definitely like it came out in 1991 and no other year. It's a shame when over-production stops well written songs from being timeless.
On this remaster, however, they went way, way, way overboard. Rather than fixing the 1991 polish to make it sound more like 21st century polish, they just cranked the volume up and ruined the 'loud, quiet, loud' aspects that made this album so great to begin with. Luckily, In Utero received the treatment it deserved, but this remaster destroys the dynamics of this entire album.
I think the problem with this remaster was with the marketing team. They probably thought, "what made this album so popular? Oh, it was loud and abrasive, so if we make it louder we'll also make it more abrasive!" The strategy kinda makes sense to marketing teams who don't understand art, but it completely undermines the point of this album which made it so popular. Yes, it was partially that it was loud and abrasive in a time where most music was very pretty and glossy. Popular rock music in the 80's sucked, and this album was the perfect gut punch to get culture away from the dumb hair bands and pop songs that dominated the decade (not that all 80's music was bad... rock certainly was pretty bad, unless you were listening to hardcore punk, but some of the New Wave and Synth pop was quite excellent, and really paved the way for a lot of today's great Indie bands)
However, the point of this album, and the thing that made it such a hit, was it's Pixies formula. It was the dynamics. Moments of hushed tones waiting to be shredded to bits by a roaring chorus. The song structures in this album are very basic pop, and not terribly impressive (though, melodically very impressive), but it was the dynamics of this album that made it a classic. Turning up the volume the way they did just butchers those dynamics, and ruins the album.
The album itself gets a 4 star rating from me. It's not as good as In Utero. While I blame the production more than the song writing, this album does sound quite dated, even in it's louder form (almost worse because of it). I would, however, rate this remaster 0 stars, and would recommend against it. I wouldn't recommend the CD or MP3 of the original, non-remastered edition very much either. If you want to listen to and enjoy this album the way it should be enjoyed, I'd actually recommend the 180 grain vinyl edition. That doesn't sound as dated, it has the right and proper dynamics and would get a 5 star rating from me based on those merits.
I hope that they do a 30th anniversary remaster and fix this crap so that I have something as enjoyable as this album deserves to remain in the 21st century. Oh, not sure if I mentioned it, but I would still strongly recommend In Utero's 20th Anniversary remaster. That album already had a timeless sound, and didn't really need the remaster, but somehow the remaster of that album made the dynamics even better. I'll do a separate review of that at another time, but having listened to the orignal and remastered In Utero side-by-side, they actually turned down the volume on some parts of it and made the loud-quiet-loud aspects much sharper, like I wish they did here.

I say GET IT WHILE YOU CAN because of the icronic album cover, and the fact that editing the image is in the works ...so once that goes into print, getting the album with the original cover will become more and more difficult.
