VINYL FORMAT. This reissue from Original Recordings Group is on 180g vinyl and remastered from the original analog recordings.

Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's 1991 album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. Kurt Cobain's personal problems and subsequent suicide naturally deepen the dark undercurrents, but no matter how much anguish there is on Nevermind, it's bracing because Kurt Cobain exorcises his demons through evocative wordplay and mangled screams - and because the band has a tremendous, unbridled power that transcends the pain, turning it into pure catharsis. And that's as key to the record's success as Cobain's songwriting, since Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music that is gripping, powerful, and even fun (and, really, there's no other way to characterize "Territorial Pissings" or the surging "Breed"). - All Music Guide
