Best Album Ever Nevermind CAE Improperly known as a subgenre of Rock, Grunge is in truth a musical trend common in the area of Seattle in the last decades of the 20th century. Although other superb groups such as Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth are said to be the pioneers, Nirvana in spite of the timeline played the most substantial part in spreading the sound of Seattle with its intricacies. In the first place, following "Bleach" that was their first step towards climbing the ladder we find "Nevermind", their most succesful and memorable album. In general terms, we could start highlighting its raucos and (according to some listeners) shrill noise,not to mention its catchy rhythm. Personally, what shoud be praised of this album is the splendidly balanced combination of melodic and heavy tunes, which is fruit of marketing strategies though. However, regardless of all the objections to the originality, songs like "Come as you are" and "Lithium" leave the listeners with goosebumps. In fact their eclectcism isn't just a matter of a few adepts but it is reported that almost 10 million copies were sold all over the world. In addition, the members (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl) reached all this success while going on tours with the most "rock and roll" mean of transport: a van in decay. Taking into account all these points, "Nevermind" coincides with the manifesto of the 90's generation alluding to the rejection and rage felt by the listeners of the time. On the negative side, Kurt Cobain's fragilities and suicide might be compelling evidence to stay away from Nirvana to those in search of idols to exalt.
