Rating: It's time to pay homage to Nirvana, one of my very first great musical loves, and to do so, I will review this 1992 collection of rarities, to which I have always been very attached. The sound is a mix of punk, grunge, and the claustrophobic tones of the first album "Bleach".
"Incesticide" contains most of my favorite tracks by Cobain and company: Dive is an almost metal track with a very hammering pace supported by an excellent vocal performance and a great guitar riff by Kurt Cobain (anyone who says he wasn't a great musician doesn't know what the hell they're talking about) Sliver, the celebrated grunge nursery rhyme that erupts into a punk fury (one of the Nirvana classics and grunge in general). The covers of the Vaselines Molly's Lips and especially Son Of A Gun are truly wonderful and hilariously fun, I've listened to them to death without ever tiring. However, the true gems of the album are Big Long Now and Aneurysm: the first starts slow and hypnotic with Kurt Cobain almost whispering, then explodes into a gloomy and desperate chorus: an authentic black pearl that doesn't resemble any other song by the band (I'm pretty sure Alice In Chains were inspired by this song to compose Frogs, compare the choruses and you'll notice the similarity). Aneurysm instead is a great live battle horse: that intro with Cobain's riff that almost sounds like a siren and Krist Novoselic's great bass line is wonderful (another great musician unfairly underrated).
All this would be enough to make "Incesticide" a great album, but even the rest is far from being discarded: from the catchiness of Stain, Been A Son, and Downer to the dazed mood of Turnaround and Mexican Seafood, passing through the punk of New Wave Polly (much better than the slow version in Nevermind), the heaviness of Beeswax and Hairspray Queen, not to forget Aero Zeppelin, which could easily serve as the soundtrack for any thriller or horror film.
"Incesticide" is a great album that represents Nirvana in all its facets.

02 Sliver (02:16)
Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meats too good
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

Well, he never bleeds and he never fucks.

04 Been a Son (01:55)
She should have stayed away from friends.
She should have had more time to spend.
She should have died when she was born.
She should have worn the crown of thorns.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have made her mother proud.
She should have stood out in a crowd.
She should have had another chance.
She should have fallen on her stance.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have stayed away from friends.
She should have had more time to spend.
She should have died when she was born.
She should have worn the crown of thorns.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
She should have been a son.
05 Turnaround (02:19)
Take a step outside yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
It's revolting
You're not much
If you're anything
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at where you are
It's revolting!
You're really nowhere
So wastefull
So foolish
Poppycock!
(spoken):
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let 'em do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?!
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
Naaaaaaaaah!
Take a step outside the country
And you turn around
Take a look at where you are
It's amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary
06 Molly's Lips (01:54)
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me

Kiss, kiss, Molly's lips
Kiss, kiss, Molly's lips
Kiss, kiss, Molly's lips
Kiss, kiss, Molly's lips

09 Beeswax (02:50)
I was a seeking out for a funnel
Not only magnets but I could pry bar it shut
Glueing my manhood in a manhole
like peppy lepew the scent
hey hey had a lightweight clutch
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate
She laughs about it
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right
Jacking themselves off polyester!
I wanna jump, this isn't right!
Hey, when am I getting it back?
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate
I don't know why,
I got a joke too silly to say
Don't touch the balls
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate
If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly
Fiberglass insulated,
Disguised as cotton candy,
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me anal
Billy's slit reminds me of someone
I'm sick of paying for the love boat
Tony and Tenille say wanna jump rope
And I say look!
I got my titilate spayed
I got my liberty
I got my titilate spayed
I got my titilate spayed
... Nothing hard
I gotta be around pussy
Don't let me fall
I got a heh-heh ...
Well you can't live
We got my diddly spayed
I got titilate spayed
I got titilate spayed
I got titilate spayed
I got titilate spayed
I got titilate spayed
I got titilate
10 Downer (01:43)
Portray sincerity, act out of loyalty
Defend every country, wish away pain
Hand out lobotomies to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy - bland, boring, plain
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in bastard?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words as you go along
I sing then some
Sickening pessimist, hypocrite master
Conservative Communist, apocalyptic bastard
Thank you, dear God, for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in bastard?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words as you go along
I sing then some
11 Mexican Seafood (01:55)
Oh, itchy flakes, it isn't through me
Till the jaw's in flames, it's entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, it's only a disinfection
Only hurts when I, it hurts when I pee
Only hurts when I, it hurts when I sleep
I vomit cum and diarrhea on the tiled floor like oatmeal pizza
Fill my toilet bowl of a cloudy puss
I feel my blood becoming chowder rust
Only hurts a night, it hurts when I pee
Only hurts a night, until I sleep
Roll into my bed which does consist of lice bugs and fleas and
and yellow mucus
Stained dirt, Vaseline, toe jam & boogers
Stomach acid worms that dance in sugared slusdge
Mmmmm ...
12 Hairspray Queen (04:13)

13 Aero Zeppelin (04:41)
Whats the season in a Right if you can't have anything
Whats the reason in a Rhyme if a plan means everything
Whats the meaning in a crime its a fan if anything
Wheres the leaning in a line it's a Brand its a Brand
How a culture comes again it was all here yesterday
And you swear it's not a trend doesn't matter anyways
Youre only hear to talk to friend nothing new is every day
You could shit upon the stage they'll be fans
They'll be fans
They'll be fans
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Steal a sound and imitate, keep a format equally
Not an ode, just the facts, where our world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, it doesn't matter anyways.
