Guest packwingfn Report post Posted October 27, 2002 Besides "You Know Your Right" Are their any other unreleased songs on the CD or is it just a best of Album, cus I already got all their other albums....Just wondering Any extra footage, dvd footage etc Let us know more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mesepher Report post Posted October 27, 2002 it's something like 18 songs, 1 "new" song... definitely not worth it, if you don't have all the other stuff. Actually, you could probably buy almost the whole cd collection used off ebay for less than the price of this new cd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I downloaded "You Know You're Right" and I thought it was pretty good. I don't think I'll be buying the new cd, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I heard "You Know You're Right" for the first time the other day. Nothing special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 The first time I heard it, I was actually a little surprised. Before they played it on the radio, they said it was recorded sometime in 1994, while I feel the song has the sound of most of the stuff on Bleach. Kinda weird..

Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I'm waiting for the box set (they *are* going to do one, right?). I like "YKYR", but I've got all the other songs already. I love Nirvana, but not enough to buy an album for 1 song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I had a radio rock overload this weekend and I have to say that the new Nirvana is almost indistinguishable from much of that stuff. The only things that stand out about the song are Cobain's vocals (which are light years better than most people give him credit for) and Grohl's drumming. The rest of it could just as easily be Puddle of Mudd or something like that. Sometimes songs are unreleased for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Speaking of should be unreleased, I heard some of the new Tori Amos when I was hanging out at my school's radio station earlier this evening. Not good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Kinetic, different from much of what stuff? I always thought Puddle of Mudd was Alice In Chains Version 0.1, or something. Layne Staley sounds just like that Wes guy, or vice-versa... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Kinetic, different from much of what stuff? I always thought Puddle of Mudd was Alice In Chains Version 0.1, or something. Layne Staley sounds just like that Wes guy, or vice-versa... Puddle of Mudd is the main offender, but there's a definite Nirvana influence in The Vines and a few others that I can't list. A lot of the more unsavory elements of the grunge sound are thriving in the current mainstream rock environment--sludgy production values, off-key screaming, incoherent anger and depression, etc.-- and from where I sit beneath this black Resistol 2X10 hat, the new Nirvana song suffers from being ahead of its time in terms of its mediocrity.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Which is your favourite Nirvana Album? Besides, I always thought it was about the right place and time, since if "Smells like Teen Spirit" came out today, you probably would lump it with all that other crap too...

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I've always been a Bleach fan... I wouldn't really say YKYR sounds like anything off that album. But I like YKYR, but I have it downloaded. No need for all those crappy Nevermind singles, I've got my In Utero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Which is your favourite Nirvana Album? Besides, I always thought it was about the right place and time, since if "Smells like Teen Spirit" came out today, you probably would lump it with all that other crap too... You presumptuous ni...nevermind. You're wrong on this one, my Favre-loving friend, because "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a completely different sort of beast. It's catchy, it's anthemic, and it sounds like a single. "You Know You're Right" sounds like the barrel-scraping of a long-dead but once great artist, which coincidentally sounds pretty similar to a lot of first-run stuff from today's most popular modern rock bands.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Yeah, but most people can't tell the difference anyway. I mean, not all people that like Radiohead like music that high-end. I know a few who like that stuff, but don't regard it as highly as *slipknot*. That's my point. It still wouldn't be appreciated. It would just be run of the mill, and lumped with the garbage.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I can barely explain it myself. Basically what I said at first, was that Nirvana would get lumped with all the garbage today, because most people can't tell the difference. It doesn't matter how good it is or would be, people would still put it in the same category as something like Puddle of Mudd or any of that crap. In other words, they have a vague opinion because they can't tell subtle differences. I know it sounds weird, but I used Radiohead as an example, showing that just because someone likes Radiohead, doesn't mean they aren't a dumbass. I always go back to Steve Austin: I'm sure his biggest fan is some loser piece of white trash, who doesn't appreciate why he's as great as he is. Hope you got the point now, I don't know if I explained it well. People can't tell the difference. Basically it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Well, the people who matter can tell the difference. It's like with this whole garage rock revival thing. There are a group of bands who have been somewhat unfairly lumped together, due not even to a similar style or presentation but because the media wanted to create something that really wasn't there. In that group, there are a handful of good bands and a handful of bad ones. It's up to the discerning listener to tell which is which. And, really, Puddle of Mudd probably wouldn't exist had Nirvana not broken that ground a decade ago. Hypothetically, I'd say Nirvana would still stand out due to Cobain being a superior songwriter. There's nothing circulating in the mainstream right now that's as good as what he wrote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I'm definetly going to pass on the new Nirvana CD. The only CD that I still own by them is Unplugged. Everything else, eh. YKYR is a decent song, but is overplayed far too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted October 28, 2002 I definatly won't be picking that up...I'm tempted as it is to take all my Nirvana stuff and maybe burn what I want on two cds and get rid of them. I just can't stand how everyone puts a suicide crybaby like Kurt on the level he's on, Nirvana is very overrated and other then Nevermind they don't have another great album.

Guest DrainYou42 Report post Posted October 29, 2002 The whole purpose of the "Greatest Hits" album, it to get new fans, while the Rarities CD that's Supposed to come out in 2003, is more for the die-hard fan. Seeing as most people have these song's already, the album seems like a waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted October 30, 2002 The song is just abosutly horrible, yet at next year MTV, VH1 and other popularity TV award shows (not the grammies) they'll kiss Nirvana's ass one more time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted October 30, 2002 I saw a commercial for this on TV today, with video clips and singles things, and it looked just like one of those '70s Rock Made for TV compilations. I never thought I'd see the day a commercial like that is put out for a CD like that for Nirvana. Damn you, damn you all. I'm old now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted November 2, 2002 YKYR is a pretty cool song, but the song reeked of not being finished. Had Cobain done more in the 2nd half of it than screamed the title of the song it would have been cooler. And who the FUCK said that Nirvana only had one good album in Nevermind? There's something called In Utero, I suggest checking it out. It's the greatest CD I own. In every Nirvana argument there's always some poser who says Bleach is their best album, probably to seem like an indie hipster. If you're a Nirvana fan by all means pick up the CD....it has some interesting things on it aside from the new song. About a Girl sounds SHOCKINGLY great here, about 10x better than it does on my Bleach CD. They restored it or something. There's a Sub Pop version of Been a Son, Pennyroyal Tea was remixed and sounds a bit different too. And oddly enough I thought In Bloom sounded better here than on Nevermind. These are token differences I guess but for a Nirvana mark it is still good stuff. Now, what about that rarities CD next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
