Bleach



I've been listening to songs from Nirvana's Bleach. The album marks Nirvana's initial musical orientation...With lyrics that hardly make sense. From time to time though, Cobain will write a sentence or too that sound pretty good. It seems like Kurt's main issue in the album though was to make this new sound that was original, heavy, loud and at the same time very messy. He does not fail once. The songs hold fresh music, heavy beats and loud, screaming vocals much different from the artsy and much strained (almost exhausted) vocals of albums such as Nevermind and In Utero. This album is my personal recommendation if you're looking for something you probably did not hear before; very very raw grunge. Anyhow, here are the lyrics that caught my attention:

"She loves him more than he will ever know,
He loves her more than he will ever show."
-Swap Meet.

"Show me how you question, questions
Lead the way to my temptation"
-Mr. Moustache.

"Show you all what a man is,
Sure you are but what am I?"
-Big Cheese.

"This is out of our range
And its crude"
-Negative Creep.
