So it turns out theres something wrong with my turntable, which is why it sounds slightly pitched up. go check out the uncut reaction on patreon if you're interested: www.patreon.com/DAVECHER
Loved your summation... "Pretty good." Personally, it meant the world to me, but I guess you had to be there. Just great to see youngsters listening to the classics and appreciating them.
Nope, there's nothing wrong with your turntable. Those AT-LP60 turntables spin a small amount faster than most records are supposed to and there's no way to adjust the speed. It's just how they are, and I know this because I had one as a beginner turntable years ago and I've heard other ones many times.
@@turdle2080 yeah it’s different, but I feel what makes Nevermind so good is still present in In Utero. I don’t really know how to explain it. It’s kinda like Ok Computer and Kid A by Radiohead
lounge act is my favourite nirvana song along with serve the servants so i was disappointed that he didnt like it but you're right its definitely one that grows on you
I remember falling asleep to this with my friend in middle school. "Something in the Way" was so darkly soothing...then "Endless Nameless" came on about an hour later and scared the hell out of us in the dark 👀
I really enjoyed watching a young person's response to this seminal album. I bought it when it first came out - I was at university - and it was massive. Having been a Nirvana fan almost all of my adult life, I listen to Bleach, Incesticide and In Utero (this is actually the album with the hidden track) more often than Nevermind; the Unplugged album is a great showpiece for Kurt's voice, btw. Kurt has been dead for 29 years, and I am so glad that I was there when he was alive and producing this incredible music.
Nevermind has a hidden track titled "Endless Nameless" it follows ten minutes of silence at the end of most "pressings" it was mistakenly left off the first "pressing".
@@anthonyv6962 Ah - that would explain why I don't have it. I've still got the Nevermind CD I bought when the album was first released. I do have a copy on vinyl, too, but I bought that much later.
A lot of gen z loves nirvana, however as a gen z myself I somehow didn’t hear about them until a year ago, so I myself am a newer fan. It’s still very common now for teens to wear nirvana t shirts and know who the band is, but some are still unfamiliar. I’d say gen x is probably the most familiar with nirvana since they’d be young adults or maybe older teens when they were popular, so it makes sense that gen z would like nirvana too, since some of gen x is parents to gen z. My point being, classics still live on, and the younger generation can still appreciate Nirvana as well as even older classics.
@@user-xx3hc1io oh please, don’t gatekeep fucking music. I can enjoy whatever the fuck I want. I don’t like the pop style now. Not because it’s new, just because it’s simply not my thing. I really really love classic rock and always have ever since I could speak. This isn’t some act as you imply, I have a genuine love for music. Also, not all gen z are little kids. I’m an older gen z. “Get your own music” dude, you don’t own music just because you lived through its creation. I’m not “pretending” I know what I’m talking about, im genuinely fascinated by music and have every right to speak on it. You should be glad that music still lives on into other generations. Also, it’s not like I can’t learn about the music and stories behind it. It’s not hard to find information on that. I’ve been raised on classic rock. This IS my music taste. None of us are different for liking this music, so so many still love classic rock and you should be glad they do! Let me love what I love! I can understand a damn song without being around when it was released. I adore 70s music…it’s quite simple and easy to find further information on the music and understand the story. I never claimed to live through it or whatever, and I don’t need to in order to enjoy it. Again, I was literally discussing how IVE lived through it and how my generation has, so I never claimed to know what the music was like when it first came out. It’s true that the majority of gen z is aware of nirvana…there insanely famous. All I said was that I appreciate classic rock. And it is true that gen x was the main demographic for that sort of music in the 80s and 90s. I didn’t pretend to know anything, I was saying how much I appreciate how music lives on. Just because I’m younger than you doesn’t mean I’m stupid- you understand how a generation works right? There’s multiple ages in one generation. It’s literally a fact that the majority of nirvanas first fans are gen x. So I don’t know why your so pressed when I was expressing my appreciation for classic rock. This IS my music, I love it too. I’m not a kid, im an older gen z. So. Even if I was a kid….kids can still enjoy older music. I’m well familiar with this music, seeing as I was raised on it!
@@user-xx3hc1io that’s not even a new internet term. I’m allowed to like whatever the fuck I want. I was raised on classic rock, you don’t own music. Be glad it lives on. You’re so immature to be pissed at someone for liking something. It’s weird that you, a grown ass adult, is wasting his time away on TH-cam just because a younger generation likes old music too. Maybe read my entire comment before pretending you know everything. And, I’m not even a kid. Gen z isn’t entirely kids. It’s mainly teens and young adults, maybe still a few tweens. It’s actually around 9-24 year olds, so no, I’m not a kid just because I’m gen z.I understand classic rock considering I took the time to research the artists I enjoy and I took the time to listen. Again, why try to “hog” music? It’s out there for everyone to enjoy. You, a grown man, should be able to grasp that. To me, you just sound salty that you’re old.
@@DAVECHER that's kinda crazy lol. I wouldn't say that I have a vast knowledge of music, but even I've known those songs for years. Even during the long ass period where I exclusively listened to music from sonic games lol. Glad you finally got around to hearing them though
I was 13 when this album came out. Heard it on the KUKQ AM radio station back in 1991. The early nineties were a great time for music. 'Something In the Way' was a saviour song for me. It was the first cathartic song I ever heard that struck me sonically.
@@funman420lover69 mhh..maybe: Sgt. Pepper..., Dark Side of the Moon (even if is not my PF favorite), Led Zeppelin IV, Paranoid, The Wall, Ok Computer, TPAB. They are not necessary "the perfect" albums, but they are game changer for sure.
BLEACH is an incredible record, Chad Channing was the drummer then- he actually wrote a lot of the iconic drum tracks for NEVERMIND, But left the band before they recorded it in 91. Dale Crover from MELVINS also played a few drum tracks in BLEACH , a 1989 gem.
how have you never heard a nirvana album? their music is like everywhere, even in modern years. i still hear it in malls all the time. man, would i give to hear this album for the first time again though.
I very much enjoyed watching you react to this. It's incredible that you didn't know the songs even "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or that Dave Grohl was in Nirvana. I mention this because you seem to have a working knowledge of music. It would be difficult to overstate the impact this album had. Prior to this there was very little "alternative" music to be found on the radio. Radio was dominated by pop music, popish hip hop (worse than Drake), maybe some 80's hair bands unless you were lucky enough to live near a college radio station. Then you would have access to Nine Inch Nails, Janes Addiction and the Beastie Boys who were releasing their genre bending album Check Your Head around this time. First Smells Like Teen Spirit crossed over to mainstream radio and blew the doors off. This lead to more tracks from the album and then other bands getting on radio and MTV. In no time the hair bands of the 80s that were lingering around in 1991 we told to pack their bags ushering in on of the bests periods of music ever. We would see the band come through Miami and play a small club that was fairly packed and within a year the same act would pass through again playing a sold out show at an amphitheater. It was a exciting time for music.
About your comments on Come As You Are, the reason the bass line sounds kind of 80s jangle pop-y is because the song/riff is very similar and likely inspired by "Life Goes On" by The Damned, or another song: "Eighties" by The Killing Joke which where songs that came out in the 80s.
Album sounds a tad pitched - not sure if thats on your side to avoid a strike? (Amazing album of course though obviously, the deep cuts on the back end are my fav tracks in the Nirvana catalogue)
i never really listened to music that came before my generation, but recently my sister sold me her old car cause I just started driving, turns out there's no audio jack and the Bluetooth receiver didn't work so I could only listen to the radio and CDs. At Barnes and noble I picked this album up only for smells like teen spirit and come as you are since those were the only ones I knew. After getting home and listening to it on the way home I IMEDIATLY bought there first, third, and unplugged album, my mind was BLOWN to pieces. it's a perfect 10/10 imo
There’s also great classics from even older generations. Somehow, I didn’t get into nirvana until about a year ago, because my situation was almost opposite- I was listening to music a lot older than my generation, from 60s, 70s, 80s, and even the occasional 50s. Until I discovered nirvana, ( somehow I was oblivious to them before even tho they are insanely famous lol) I was somehow not aware of how good some 90s rock can be, lol. Unfortunately I still don’t like a lot of current music. I feel like it’s lost it’s charm.
@@Onlyspaceman at least a lot of mainstream stuff, I agree. I think it’s because rock in roll is unfortunately kinda dead and music is overly mixed and produced now. Ik there are some decent musicians that make music today, they just aren’t as known and are a lot harder to find.
Talk about foreshadowing his death…you should watch the MTV Unplugged performance. Lots of people say it was like Nirvana playing Kurt’s own funeral. Those unplugged albums were great. Alice In Chains was phenomenal, too.
Would you ever been interested in doing a video where you showed off your record collection or maybe just showed off your favorite records? Think it could be cool
Nevermind is very Beatles -esque, one of Kurt's biggest influences. Simple verses, then catchy hooks with the choruses. Rinse and repeat. Thats what led to its success ultimately
@@astrozoo "trying to be cool" lmao, I personally liked it better than nvm. Not trying to be cool or whatever, plus sales mean shit regardless of quality in music and everything else as far as I am concerned.
Great review! I highly suggest upgrading to a U-Turn turntable whenever you get the chance! I had the same audio technica as a starter turntable but wow the U-turn is wonderful and not too pricey. It truly brings out everything in the records in a way I’ve never heard before
I had Nevermind playing on my cd player years ago when I first was trying to get into Nirvana and Something In The Way finished and I was just playing my PS4 so I didn't notice that the track was still playing and 10 minutes later Endless Nameless plays and it scared the shit out of me
After over 25 years of listening to Nirvana and the constant changing of opinion based on age, I'd have to say Nevermind is their weakest album while the strongest is actually not one of their studio albums but actually Unplugged.
I'm not sure if its their weakest but I think they would probably say it least represents them musically. It's production is incredibly polished and it's an incredible piece of work. However it's not down and dirty Nirvana. I really like Nirvana Live at the Paramount it's on TH-cam. Recorded five weeks after the release of Nevermind, the footage is taken from the only Nirvana show to be shot on 16 mm film. So its high quality and visually pleasing.
Delusion. You’ve just heard the songs too much, that’s a sign of a timeless album. If Teen Spirit or Lithium weren’t popular, Nirvana fans would rave about how brilliant they were.
I'm not saying it's a terrible album, if not for Nevermind I never would've become obsessed with them at age 9. But after a decade of listening to them nonstop and collecting every bootleg cassette, VHS, etc., revisiting them in my 20s, and then yet again in my 30s, Nevermind fails to hold my attention as much as the rest of their output. It's not about overhearing the songs either. I've heard About a Girl, Heart-Shaped Box, their version of Lake of Fire just as much as Nevermind's hits. It's like another commenter said, it's too polished and doesn't represent them as well as literally everything else they released. Kurt himself later said he was embarrassed by it, calling it "more like a Motley Crue album than a punk record" and that the production turned out way too clean and radio friendly for his liking. I don't hate the songs on Nevermind, just these versions of them. I'll take any of them featured on Unplugged, Live at the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah or even the demo versions on With the Lights Out any day over their Nevermind counterparts.
You have to understand the cocaine fueled excess of the 80s and the over production and the just over the top everything. Nirvana completely changed the world and woke people up and brought music back to real, raw emotion. This album is one of the single most important albums of all time.
I love that you loved nevermind, it still amazes me that someone can listen to the first half of a nirvana song and be humming along by the end, yes its a pop style album but wait till you hear In Utero !!! It's still nirvana but you can hear Kurt's writing skills really shine, and it's so much more raw and powerful. You got a sub from me!! Please do more nirvana!! Actually if you can do some live video? Preferably Live and Loud, or MTV unplugged, or any DVD quality pro video of nirvana. Loving it dude🤘 I'm 40 yrs old and will be a Kurt Cobain fan till the day I die😢
Something in the way was a problematic recording which is its own story in and of themselves. If you wanna see how they usually played it was captured better at the bbc recording of it. The finest performance of the song I've seen undoubtedly in my opinion is the Beehive Record store performance. They expected a few fans to show up for sneak peek at nevermind. The building could safely house 50 people. 300 people showed up and traffic was blocked out for miles. It was chaos for real and the the store was trashed to all hell and back.
Great album, but overplayed and over produced. It's actually not a good representation of their overall work. That's not to say it isn't good. It's got great melodies. Just that it's manufactured, not the raw, passionate, genuine Nirvana some of us old fans grew to know. Still, to listen to this new, oh i would love that experience again. Enjoy, please enjoy.
You know who The Smiths are, but only think you recognize the riff of Teen Spirit. Odd. Teen Spirit has played on the radio and every spotify rock playlist for 30 years, the smiths not so much.
As a gen z I also recently got into Nirvana. Id say a lot of gen z likes nirvana, wears there t shirts, and are familiar with them, but somehow I was oblivious to them until a year ago (which is surprising since there so famous and I usually listen to old rock music and have gen x family members who love it). I feel like either people are clueless or very familiar with them in gen z lol. I think it would be cool if you listed to even older classics.
It’s the other way around, some of the first pressings removed it by accident. I think it was something around 20,000 didn’t have it because of a mix up with the mastering engineer.
Do the Ten album by Pearl Jam! Still grunge but totally other vibe, contains a lot of reflection in the lyrics and their energy is just amazing, such a great album!
new to your channel glad I found it and can't wait to see more of you if I may ask what was the best song on the album in your opinion and can you do In Utero.
this video isn't monetized. if I was gonna pitch it up to avoid copyright I would have to pitch it up more than this. it's pitched up because of my turntable.
@@marcusbas.tos883nope, I bought a copy a few weeks ago and was a little bummed about it since that’s my favorite track. It’s so challenging and never something I’d expect from a mainstream album
That is such an awesome album! Some other albums that are amazing front to back that you probably haven't heard and should check out are: Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction, Pearl Jam - Ten, Offspring - Smash, Sublime - Sublime, and Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
I like how he interpreted in bloom because I’m pretty sure he got it spot on, and I THINK Kurt Cobain said something along the lines of “if your a racist or a homophobe, our music isn’t for you”. Idk how accurate that is, but I DO know that a definite quote he said was “im not gay but I wish I was too piss off the homophobes”. In other words, he was a cool guy. Also, if you dig deeper, im pretty sure Polly is based on a really terrible r*pe. Basically it’s a dark anti-r*pe song.

You’ll love “In Utero“ if you love this
Yes I agree but incesticide is in my opinion even closer to the style of nevermind, while in utero is imo close to bleach
In Utero is my favorite album of all time and Nirvana isn’t even my favorite band.
I fucking love that record.

@@Agostoic Sales is the objective measure. Everything else here is opinion
@@astrozoo LMAO! Cool story.
Really surprised you haven’t heard this
Who's Drake?
Also, Kurts hometown of Aberdeen Washington has a welcome sign as you enter town that reads "Come as you are"
Great review! I highly suggest upgrading to a U-Turn turntable whenever you get the chance! I had the same audio technica as a starter turntable but wow the U-turn is wonderful and not too pricey. It truly brings out everything in the records in a way I’ve never heard before
Fun Fact something in the way is not the last track if you wait 10 minutes the secret track "Endless Nameless" will start playing try it!
Not on the vinyl that he has it’s only on the internet and on the first 1000 (I think) vinyl and cds but yeah
I had Nevermind playing on my cd player years ago when I first was trying to get into Nirvana and Something In The Way finished and I was just playing my PS4 so I didn't notice that the track was still playing and 10 minutes later Endless Nameless plays and it scared the shit out of me
After over 25 years of listening to Nirvana and the constant changing of opinion based on age, I'd have to say Nevermind is their weakest album while the strongest is actually not one of their studio albums but actually Unplugged.
What do you mean by weakest?
I'm not sure if its their weakest but I think they would probably say it least represents them musically. It's production is incredibly polished and it's an incredible piece of work. However it's not down and dirty Nirvana. I really like Nirvana Live at the Paramount it's on TH-cam. Recorded five weeks after the release of Nevermind, the footage is taken from the only Nirvana show to be shot on 16 mm film. So its high quality and visually pleasing.
Delusion. You’ve just heard the songs too much, that’s a sign of a timeless album. If Teen Spirit or Lithium weren’t popular, Nirvana fans would rave about how brilliant they were.
I'm not saying it's a terrible album, if not for Nevermind I never would've become obsessed with them at age 9. But after a decade of listening to them nonstop and collecting every bootleg cassette, VHS, etc., revisiting them in my 20s, and then yet again in my 30s, Nevermind fails to hold my attention as much as the rest of their output. It's not about overhearing the songs either. I've heard About a Girl, Heart-Shaped Box, their version of Lake of Fire just as much as Nevermind's hits. It's like another commenter said, it's too polished and doesn't represent them as well as literally everything else they released. Kurt himself later said he was embarrassed by it, calling it "more like a Motley Crue album than a punk record" and that the production turned out way too clean and radio friendly for his liking. I don't hate the songs on Nevermind, just these versions of them. I'll take any of them featured on Unplugged, Live at the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah or even the demo versions on With the Lights Out any day over their Nevermind counterparts.
In Utero is much better than this one imo. Cool addition of adding vinyl to the music playing rotation.
Much better is a stretch, but it’s definitely better
You have to understand the cocaine fueled excess of the 80s and the over production and the just over the top everything. Nirvana completely changed the world and woke people up and brought music back to real, raw emotion. This album is one of the single most important albums of all time.
i wish i could listen to this record again for the first time
one of the perfect albums in history
cap. there's no way you never heard any of this...plus humming the songs kinda gives it away
smells like teen spirit is the only one that sounded somewhat familiar, but I've never sat down and listened to the whole song
please, do more nirvana vinyl reactions?
bleach
incesticide
in utero
unplugged
nevermind
your opinions were refreshingly positive!
So many are on here are trying to be cool by saying In Utero is better but it didin't sell as well. Even Kurt admited Nevermind was better
imo, i think stay away is a great song
It’s catchy because it grunge
I love that you loved nevermind, it still amazes me that someone can listen to the first half of a nirvana song and be humming along by the end, yes its a pop style album but wait till you hear In Utero !!! It's still nirvana but you can hear Kurt's writing skills really shine, and it's so much more raw and powerful. You got a sub from me!! Please do more nirvana!! Actually if you can do some live video? Preferably Live and Loud, or MTV unplugged, or any DVD quality pro video of nirvana. Loving it dude🤘 I'm 40 yrs old and will be a Kurt Cobain fan till the day I die😢
SRV STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN:"Texas Flood,LIVE AT EL MACOMBO!!! ALWAYS DO SRV LIVE!!!! You will love it!!! GREATEST GUITAR PERFORMANCE ON TH-cam
endless,nameless is missing.
In most records of this if you wait 10 minutes after something in the way a secret song called endless nameless will play
The hidden track plays a few minutes after Something in the way or 10 minutes after idk something like that
not on vinyl
Something in the way was a problematic recording which is its own story in and of themselves. If you wanna see how they usually played it was captured better at the bbc recording of it. The finest performance of the song I've seen undoubtedly in my opinion is the Beehive Record store performance. They expected a few fans to show up for sneak peek at nevermind. The building could safely house 50 people. 300 people showed up and traffic was blocked out for miles. It was chaos for real and the the store was trashed to all hell and back.
This album, Out of Time by REM and American Beauty by the Grateful Dead are 3 perfect recordings
Great album, but overplayed and over produced. It's actually not a good representation of their overall work.
That's not to say it isn't good. It's got great melodies. Just that it's manufactured, not the raw, passionate, genuine Nirvana some of us old fans grew to know.
Still, to listen to this new, oh i would love that experience again. Enjoy, please enjoy.
Thank you!
F*** Gen Z can`t even make a real Reaction video without ADHD editing now
Are you sure you’ve never heard these songs before? Nirvana is extremely popular
His lyrics had no meaning He just put in whatever fit
Funny you say that about come as you are reminding you of 80s jangle pop. Go listen to the song 80s by the killing joke and see the inspiration.
Should've waited like 10 minutes after something in the way
This is pitched a half step-up from the original
Something sounds wrong with your setup. The pitch is all weird
You know who The Smiths are, but only think you recognize the riff of Teen Spirit. Odd. Teen Spirit has played on the radio and every spotify rock playlist for 30 years, the smiths not so much.
my dad is a big Smiths fan so I heard their music a lot growing up. I didn't hear Nirvana at all growing up
In Bloom is about Kurt's friend Dylan Carlson.
As a gen z I also recently got into Nirvana. Id say a lot of gen z likes nirvana, wears there t shirts, and are familiar with them, but somehow I was oblivious to them until a year ago (which is surprising since there so famous and I usually listen to old rock music and have gen x family members who love it). I feel like either people are clueless or very familiar with them in gen z lol. I think it would be cool if you listed to even older classics.
I thought it was really high pitched but can you please re act to it on TH-cam so it doesn’t sound pitched?
The hidde track was available on the original CD pressings. People claim that the later pressings removed the hidden track.
It’s the other way around, some of the first pressings removed it by accident. I think it was something around 20,000 didn’t have it because of a mix up with the mastering engineer.
You skipped the last song, Endless Nameless from the album.
$30 bucks good price mate, $70 at least in Australia.
Whatever we're hearing is pitched up, that may however been your doing.
Do the Ten album by Pearl Jam! Still grunge but totally other vibe, contains a lot of reflection in the lyrics and their energy is just amazing, such a great album!
how have you managed to not listen to it for your whole life
new to your channel glad I found it and can't wait to see more of you if I may ask what was the best song on the album in your opinion and can you do In Utero.
I'm really hoping you do Björk's Vulnicura next, if you're interested the vinyl is gorgeous
Oh hi!
@@weirdman5215 hahaha hi man how are you?
@@francogallinacimaglia8802 Good, never thought I'd see you here lol
no hate but youre an actual NPC if youve never listened or heard a song off of Nevermind before
Listen to shadows collide with people by john frusciante
I'm pretty sure it's pitched up
You lost me when you didn't know who Dave Grohl is.
missing endless nameless
It's pitched up. C'mon man. You know it's pitched up to avoid the copyright. Just say it. Sketchy.
this video isn't monetized. if I was gonna pitch it up to avoid copyright I would have to pitch it up more than this. it's pitched up because of my turntable.
Drain you just so you know is about kurt cobain’s heroin addiction
There's a reason it's a fucking classic.
are we all acting like this guy never heard smells like teen spirit?
On a Plain is my favorite track
god, to listen to this album for the first time again
can you hear appetite for destruction from guns n roses?
I could be wrong but it looks like you have the Pallas 2013 all analogue pressing.
His copy looks like a 2023 reissue pressed in Pallas but without the sticker.
Endless, Nameless was missing. The album's secret track
it wasn't on the vinyl
@@DAVECHER oh, there's no Endless, Nameless on vinyl? I didn't know.
@@marcusbas.tos883nope, I bought a copy a few weeks ago and was a little bummed about it since that’s my favorite track. It’s so challenging and never something I’d expect from a mainstream album
That is such an awesome album! Some other albums that are amazing front to back that you probably haven't heard and should check out are: Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction, Pearl Jam - Ten, Offspring - Smash, Sublime - Sublime, and Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
^ would love to see his reactions of afd and smash
Hey man go easy on 50 year old Nirvana fans!
React to Bleach. Great album, darker
kurt kinda detested the poppiness of this album - that's why they made in utero later, with steve albini, which was supposed to be more "underground"
The tf have you never heard nirvana before this
it sounds like he uses a guitar flanger xd
3:40 Twitter brain moment
Damn that’s crazy you’ve never heard this lmao
No way in hell you have never heard smells like teen spirit before this….
pretends for views
Why is smells like teen spirit in f# minor?
I like how he interpreted in bloom because I’m pretty sure he got it spot on, and I THINK Kurt Cobain said something along the lines of “if your a racist or a homophobe, our music isn’t for you”. Idk how accurate that is, but I DO know that a definite quote he said was “im not gay but I wish I was too piss off the homophobes”. In other words, he was a cool guy. Also, if you dig deeper, im pretty sure Polly is based on a really terrible r*pe. Basically it’s a dark anti-r*pe song.
There is nothing you can say about Nevermind that hasn't been said before. You are 31 years too late.
ok..i'm sure they are good
