Nirvana
Nevermind

It was 1991 when one of the cornerstone albums in the history of rock came to light, not because of any particular instrumental virtuosity, but simply because in every note and every scream of the singer Kurt Cobain are encapsulated the feelings and anxieties of an entire generation that sees him as a sort of spokesperson.

"Nevermind" is the first album featuring Dave Grohl on drums, who definitively elevates the band's quality. The sound is less raw compared to their first work, "Bleach," partly due to some interventions from the record label, "Geffen," which enraged Kurt to the point of making him disown the album whose sound did not satisfy him.

But this very sound, which manages to perfectly blend the hardness of punk rock with more melodic rhythms, is what would bring Nirvana world success through tracks of great intensity and beauty; we remember the symbolic song of the album, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," characterized by a captivating riff and a revolutionary flair.
However, one cannot ignore pieces like "In Bloom," in the same style as "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which alternates verses dominated by calm with choruses where the piece explodes with great energy; this track is, in practice, an invitation to those who listen to Nirvana just for fashion to understand what they really want to say.
Then we have "Come As You Are," with its simple but memorable riff, "Lithium," which represents an attack on religion, and finally, it's worth mentioning the autobiographical "Something In The Way," a wonderful acoustic ballad that stands apart from the rest of the album's style, perfect as a closing piece.

In short, "Nevermind" is an album to listen to in one breath, letting oneself be carried away by Kurt's haunting voice and his music, which expresses, as he himself declared, freedom!
