Album of the Weekend

Nirvana-Insecticide

A mixture of previously unreleased and mixed songs, Insecticide is another classic from one of the greatest bands of all time. From cover songs (Molly's Lips) to remixes (Polly, new wave) to brand new material (Aneurysm) this album has a little bit for everyone. It's a typical Nirvana album with it's moodiness, darker style and general apathetic feelings about modern life at the time. It's not for everyone, but for Nirvana fans it's a welcome classic.

I'm not a fan of Aneurysm-in fact, it's one of the few songs by them I don't like. The screams of Kurt Cobain seem very manufactured in the song-instead of coming from within and uncontrollable you can almost hear the producers saying "And give me a fake scream now....". So one of their most popular songs to me is one of the worst ones in their entire career. Other than that one song though-the album is typical Nirvana. Almost flawless.
