Nirvana by Nirvana (US)

Pros: The digitally-remastered sound of Cobain's Grunge-Coda Is pure Nirvana.
Cons: The demons Cobain left behind, maintain his estate, but not his artistic vision.

.
"HOPE I DIE BEFORE I TURN INTO PETE TOWNSHEND..."

...Reads an entry jotted in one of the notebook journals left behind by Nirvana's astrally onward-traveling frontman, Kurt Cobain. Eight years after a point-blank blast from...

Pros: (Most) all of the hits wrapped up in one tidy package! That new song...
Cons: Not at all comprehensive. It feels like a marketing ploy.

I was with Nirvana from the moment they broke into the mainstream scene. I wasn’t nearly as angry or as disenchanted with the world and life as the band would have liked with a fan, but my status as a teenager in middle-America was definitely the quo ...

Pros: Even those sonically opposed to loud rock will love the melodies on here.
Cons: None really. I wouldn't have minded the studio version of "All Apologies".

In the eight years since his death in 1994, the question of the legend of Kurt Cobain has been debated many times over. Fact of the matter is, the guy was a first-rate songwriter and bandleader who, in his short career, created much classic material....

Pros: An Excellent Compilation from Nirvana.
Cons: Hardcore fans will be upset over omissions of fave album cuts.

Throughout their brief but amazing lifespan, no band had changed the face of music better than Nirvana did in the early 1990s. Taking the pop melodies of the Beatles, the abrasive noise of punk, the droning riffs of Black Sabbath, and the...

Pros: All the famous songs are here; "You Know You're Right"
Cons: Nirvana junkies won't find much new material

With Nirvana being known as one of the best rock n’ grunge bands of all time, putting together a collection of the band’s top hits was a no-brainer. On Nirvana, that’s exactly what you get, a “greatest hits” album if you will. ...

Pros: All the songs contained on here are good.
Cons: Nothing new, good songs missing, buy it and put more money in Ms. Love's pocket.

From: Courtney Love, owner of the rights to Nirvana material To: Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, former Nirvana members. CC: David Geffen, Record Company CEO. Re: Marketing scheme (Plans for Nirvana Greatest Hits album). Hey guys. Just wanted ...

Pros: You Know You're Right
Cons: The most obvious (and bland) track choices, poor liner notes, and so on

There are only a scant few number of bands or musical artists out there today that can say, without question, that they actually and literally changed the face of music. And even if you can find one, it’s more than likely that they didn’t change...

Pros: Good package overall.
Cons: From a not-so-good band.

As you can probably guess by reading my previous reviews, and the admittedly harsh title of this review, I in no way claim to be a fan of Nirvana. I suppose I had to have "been there" when they broke out into the mainstream back in 1991 to really ...

Pros: You Know You're Right truly rules
Cons: it's a kick in the nuts to the diehard Nirvana fan

With a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, an entire music movement was snuffed out. With a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, one of the most important bands in American music history ended. And with a single gunshot fired in April of 1994, one...

Pros: You Know You're Right is a great rarity
Cons: nothing more than a money making tool

hmmm, greatest hits collections, best of albums, and what ever record labels these days use to make money off bands that have broken up a long time ago. they all have the same problems and recommendations. "its good place for someone wanting to get into ...

Pros: Most songs here are great.
Cons: Arrangement, a few songs, the obvious marketing ploy

(ScaryBitch100 has just signed on.) IRawkKthx: Hey, Courtney! It's me, Ali! ScaryBitch100: Hey, bab...oh, sorry, I thought you were someone else. IRawkKthx: ...Right...well, I really need to talk to you about something. May I ask you a question? ...

Pros: You know you're right...
Cons: But I'm not so sure...

If you really want Nirvana's greatest hits, just pick up a copies of Nevermind and In Utero, 10 bucks each. And the review could end there. But you see, long ago I was bored and tired at a Target Supercenter, and ...

Pros: Some new stuff. Slightly remastered songs.
Cons: Mostly old re-released stuff...

Finally. That's all I can say. I remember back in 95' or so, right after Cobain's death (which was '94, I know), the band had plans to release a bunch of unreleased material. It was supposedly too hard ofr the remaining band members, and nothing new was...

Pros: Is there really a point in giving pros and
Cons: Cons for this timeless collection of tunes, like it or not?

It's almost impossible to imagine the impact that Nirvana had. If you add up all the bands that followed them in all their mid-90s glory (Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam), plus the groups that fought amongst themselves to be the trio's successors after lead ...

Pros: You Know You're Right
Cons: Why did we buy this again?

What made Nirvana so special and memorable was their big impact on the music scene in such a short amount of time. With remarkable brevity the band went from unheard of garage band to international success and changing how we precieve rock music forever. ...

Pros: There are too many to name
Cons: Only one new song

You can be a Nirvana fan or not and still love this album, I bet my life on it. If you don't I honestly don't know how you can't. From the beginning to the end, the tracks are filled with honesty, emotion, and plain rock. Nirvana is the best band of ...

Pros: Great new track
Cons: Just one new track and the songs we've already heard

Released: November 12th 2002 Label: DGC / Geffen Band: Kurt Cobain: Guitar / Vocals Krist Novoselic: Bass Dave Grohl: Drums / Backing Vocals This album was released for two purposes: 1) The track 'You know you're right' leaked onto the ...

Pros: You Know You're Right
Cons: They got rid of Drain You!

How do you recommend something like this? You recommend it to someone who just wants a little snippet of Nirvana, someone who never bought flannel. Actually, I'd recommend this to those girls who were barely toilet trained but now participate in the ...

Pros: Great album! So many hits in one album!
Cons: Cons? What's a con?

INTROWell I can say I've been wanting this album for a while now. I recently got into Nirvana's music (about an year ago) and so the idea of an album full of the band's best songs was a good idea. The album boasts 12 tracks, but it actually has ...

Pros: Mostly great music.
Cons: The worst addition to their catalogue, despite the hits.

As if a band that only released three proper albums (only two of which were big commercial successes) needed a Greatest Hits album, it's even more repulsive a product given how *against* this sort of thing Nirvana was by nature. I'm not going to blindly...

Pros: You Know Youre Right
Cons: Beginning Of The End?

Its almost a shame to sum up the greatest band of the 90's in one CD, 15 songs. But then almost everything about Nirvana was a shame. We're fast approaching the 10th year anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, and once again he is the most talked about...

Pros: Its a greatest hits album for Christ's sake.
Cons: What could possibly be wrong.

This to me is one of the best greatest hits albums I have purchased since Tom Petty's greatest hits. If you like any particular song by Nirvana I can assure you that you will like at least 10 of the 14 songs on this collection. Kurt Cobain, though dead,...

Pros: great songs, one great previously unreleased song
Cons: only one previously unreleased song

Before we start: Yes, it is a good album. In fact, it’s very good. So are Bleach (“About a Girl” and others off of this new album come from that album), Nevermind (“Teen Sprit,” “Come as You Are,”...

Pros: You finally get to hear that last Nirvana song!
Cons: Every other song you have no doubt heard a thousand times before.

Speaking from the view point of a giant Nirvana fan (so realize this may make my opinion somewhat biased) this cd was ok. I would recommend it if you are a hardcore Nirvana fan and you are dying to hear the new song "You Know Your Right". However, none...

Pros: Not much to say but this is definitely a good collection for Nirvana fans.
Cons: Besides the fact that some good songs aren't on here there is nothing wrong.

Nirvana-what music is about. Punk-musical freedom. As Kurt Cobain once stated Punk is musical freedo ...

Pros: Most of the best old songs, a new great song
Cons: So calculated and skimpy that its basically Nirvana for Dummies

I bought this cd for the new song, "you know you're right " , which pretty much blows all of the other sh*t on rock radio out of the water. " you know youre right " is the first song here and its really eerie. it reminds me of the new intense foo...

Pros: It's Nirvana. You know you're right.
Cons: Not any B-sides. Smells like teen spirit.

I decided i'd redo this. So with that said. Here it is finally Nirvana's Greatest hit's. The 90's answer to The Beatles finally has a greatest hits album. It lacks all sorts of b-sides that are almost impossible to get without spending loads of money on...

Pros: All the hits and expected classics; You Know Your Right is hot
Cons: Not enough to keep a Die Hard happy

Nirvana were one of those bands that completely altered the course of the music industry. Some feel that they were, indeed, one of the best genuine bands in the history of rock music, while others feel that they were just an overrated bunch of a#$holes. ...

Pros: This CD was great. All of Nirvana's greatest songs on one CD.
Cons: I can't really think of anything wrong with this one.

This CD was everything I expected and more. I have not really been much of a fan of Nirvana, except for this past year or so and this was a great CD with all their best songs. I also enjoyed the previously unreleased song, "You Know Your Right". All of...

Pros: It's Nirvana's BEST OF album
Cons: It's missing a couple of songs

I used to not be a really big Nirvana fan, but I started getting in to them after I heard a few certain songs of theirs'. I kind of like them now and think that they get something of a bum rap just because every idiot with a Walkman would play "Smells...
