DeBaser's reviews praise Nirvana's raw power, Kurt Cobain's voice and songwriting, and their intense live shows. Nevermind, In Utero, Bleach and MTV Unplugged are repeatedly highlighted. Some posts criticize posthumous releases and commercial packaging. Overall the corpus is reverent and nostalgic.
