Nirvana left only restlessness and deepest loneliness in their music.
Mechenkai said: Like many friends who like European and American music, I started to get in touch with European and American music by listening to Karen Carpenter's songs. One day, I heard Nirvana's "Taste of Youth Spirit" from my friends, and that was when I was a freshman. I was stunned by the cold "town" revealed in Kurt Cobain's hoarse voice and mechanical music. I didn't expect a person to look at the world with such cold and profound eyes. He made me realize at that time that we should look at this society with a completely different attitude: in fact, we don't need to invest too much enthusiasm in this society. Many times, we just need to look on coldly and do what we should and need to do. Maybe we invested too much, but in the end, we were hurt. Kurt Cobain, like an alien, looked at this materialistic world with his indifferent eyes until one day many years ago, when he quietly drank his bullet. Ke Ben is dead, but his singing still often shakes my heart. Long live Nirvana and long live Kurt Cobain.

Nevermind, a masterpiece that sold tens of millions of copies in' 9 1, shocked the world in one fell swoop. Smels Like Teen Spirit, Come as You Are and Lithium in the series are all classic works that have been unanimously appreciated by fans and critics. In particular, Grunge's national anthem "The Taste of Teenagers' Spirit" satisfied the ears of teenagers all over the world with its catchy melody and arrogant and unadorned rebellious color. Nirvana led to the outbreak of Grunge agitation and even the whole alternative rock Revolution. With "Nevermind" winning the title in the Billboard pop album list in June 1992, their popularity index can be said to have reached its peak at this moment, and this total achievement also made Nirvana the spokesperson of sub-pop culture, and the leader of Grunge music circle is Nirvana.
The history of Nirvana dates back to 1987. At that time, the soul figure Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Aaron Burkhardt ('9 1 was replaced by the sixth drummer david grohl in August) formed the band Nirvana. 1989, the independent record company Sub Pop published its first album, Bleach, at a cost of only $606. It is generally believed that this album shaped the prototype of Nirvana. 1993' s In Uterus is a shocking masterpiece of Zhang's deviant commercialization, but he still won the championship.
I wonder if 27 years old is an insurmountable threshold for rock people. After John Lennon, jim morrison, Ian Courroy (lead singer of Glee) and jimi hendrix, Kurt Cobain also chose to join the 27-year-old club. On April 8, 1994, Kurt's body was found by an electrical worker. By shooting himself, he ended the depressed life behind his fame and got rid of the secular world. Even though Kurt Cobain, the soul figure, has passed away for more than 8 years, Nirvana's great contribution to music is absolutely unparalleled!

Album review:
With the muddy bass, several conversations and Kurt's almost crazy cry, the tour "From the muddy bank of Wishkah" officially began. There is no elaborate carving and whitewashing, no sophisticated recording equipment, and even no necessary preparation in advance (but there are songs selected and revised afterwards). This is a live tape recorded by Nirvana anytime and anywhere from 1989 to 1994. This is a live recording of a junk band, and it is also an album that records the truest side of Kurt, Dave and Krister. I always feel that the scene is much better than the album, which avoids the melodrama of modern technology, the embarrassment of the recording studio and the gap between everyone and the band. For a band like Nirvana, the scene is where they grew up and their real mother. At the scene, they were not shy at all. They can say something that can't be recorded in audio, and they can have the closest contact with the audience. For many bands, this seems unnecessary, but for Nirvana, a rebellious band that only wants to promote its independent ideas and oppose business, this is the best way to release itself. The works in the album lack such famous songs as "About a Girl" and "All apologies come with you", but they are still strong and tenacious. Except "The Taste of Teenagers' Spirit" deliberately accelerated the pace, nothing else has changed much, and there is also a "Spanking" that is not included in other official albums. On the one hand, this album is the best testimony of the band's rise, on the other hand, it also shows the extraordinary charm of Kurt and Nirvana.

Album review:
Some people say that the womb is a sign of Kurt's suicide, while Unplugged New York is a message from the underworld. It is a collection of all Kurt's efforts and talents. It is so direct and naked that people can't listen to one song after another. One of the best examples is that almost all people from non-English speaking countries can keep up with where did you sleep last night? "Hum a few words gently, but it is difficult to understand what" The Taste of Juvenile Spirit "is shouting, but almost everyone will choose to listen to the latter several times and bear the loneliness and pain emitted by the former again and again. However, in my mind, this is an album with the same weight as Nevermind. I can't remember how many times I fell asleep listening to this album, but I can count how many times I was moved and hurt by Kurt's weak and desperate voice-almost every time. Replaced by xylophone, under Kurt's hand, it still has a strong smell of junk music. Kurt carefully selected several songs suitable for xylophone interpretation, and also covered several songs he liked very much. All this happened in an elaborate studio of a TV station in new york, which was broadcast live to the whole country in a few minutes. Anyone who has seen it knows that the ground is full of lighted candles and lilacs, and the venue is decorated with red curtains. Four members of the band sat in the four corners in a diamond shape, and the venue was full of audiences. The atmosphere is harmonious and peaceful. Kurt dressed casually as usual, and the others didn't dress up deliberately. Everything is as free as usual, and Kurt can be seen talking and laughing during the music break. His departure after a few months was really hard to accept. Back to music, from a rational point of view, this is not only a perverted nirvana soundtrack performance, but also shows their sincere desire to be an R.E.M band-that kind of freedom and independence. People don't realize this, which may be one reason why Kurt finally failed to overcome the suicidal impulse. Besides, it's also a strange album to express your favorite music, because there has never been an album that put David Bowie's songs and folk songs together like this. Nirvana did it and did it well, although they may have paid a very heavy price for it. ...

Album review:
This album is Nirvana's Lo-Fi album, and the music in the album really reflects the dark side of Cobain's life. Manic depression, which just appeared in the album Nevernmind, has developed to the extreme. "Serving servants" covers all aspects of Covain's life. The Apprentice Without Smell is one of the songs composed by three band members, and it is a symbol of the band's brand-new creative mentality. "Rape Me" is the earliest song written in the album "In the womb", which is not only aimed at "rape", but also an inner trauma. "Frances Farmer will take revenge on Seattle" is Cobain's ode to Frances Farmer, a saint and martyr in his mind. "Milk Bar" is one of the landmark works that Nirvana changed its direction after "Nevernmind". Judging from the songs, "Inetro" seems to lack such a masterpiece as "The Taste of Juvenile Spirit", but what really made Nirvana take a big step forward was "Inetro", a more authentic non-mainstream and subversion of mainstream music.

Album review:
Incest Killing is not a completely designed album, but it fully shows all kinds of extreme and even contradictory aspects of Cobain and the band. Dive stole it from the demo of the band. The note is a song related to Cobain's life experience. The album also covers three songs, namely "Turnaround" by Devo and "Molly's Lips" and "Son Of Gun" by Vaseline. Beeswax, Mexican Seafood, Hairspray Queen and Aviation Led Zeppelin are obviously the versions of Nirvana Band198865438+1October's first recording demo, and these songs are some of Coben's earliest works. The song "Dragon Now" was written by Cobain * * *(Chris * * *. The cover painting of the album is a work of Keben. A traumatized child is climbing up his parents' skeleton. Obviously, they don't want to pay attention to this child, so the child looks longingly at a bunch of flowers, which is a beautiful and deadly poppy. This painting is a thrilling experience of Ke Ben's generation.

Album review:
Nirvana has made explosive achievements on the Billboard charts with its powerful attack after being transferred to a big record company. Their influence is so strong and unexpected that even the business pages in The New York Times reported them. When Wall Street analysts and industrial giants are paying attention to worn-out musicians in plaid shirts, you have to admit that Nirvana has really brought great music to more listeners. On the surface, the roaring and twisted guitar sound, angry guitar sound and angry and aggressive drums have become compulsory courses for the growing garbage crowd. In fact, Nevermind is a great pop album, just like Smell of Young Elves, which captures people's sense of distance and dissatisfaction in the MTV era, but it does not lose its wonderful gimmicks and excellent melody-its exquisite arrangement will never lose to any Beatles album. At the same time, Kurt Cobain's singing and songwriting are full of genius and inspiration, and even a famous person like him is seldom so full of ideas. Many people think that Nirvana is just "one move, eating all over the world", but this move alone has won them an unquestionable position in the history of alternative rock.

Album review:
Many songs in the album actually have only one lyric, which is repeated over and over again, twice, three times or even more, which makes Nirvana's early works cast an epigram-like luster. The dark tone of Blowing seamlessly echoes the theme of a song about the capture and control of the mind. About a Girl is a popular struggle in Cobain's heart. It is like an uninvited guest in the whole album, waiting for a sad feeling with an inexplicable beauty and loneliness. It is also the earliest artistic expression of Ke Ben's future creative tendency and life trauma. School clearly shows Cobain's contempt for the Seattle music circle. Swap Meet is the best testimony of Cobain's experience in Aberdeen, which keeps Cobain always afraid of poverty and makes him understand the hardships at the bottom. Donna is a song written by Cobain very early, and it is also a rare work that directly expresses political consciousness, including the political views of typical friends, from Dadaism fanaticism to childlike innocence, and more inexplicable confusion.
