Disadvantages: none

In 1989 a small band hailing from Aberdeen, WA recorded their debut album not knowing of the success that they would accumialate with its follow up. Bleach in my opinion is the greatest Nirvana album ever recorded as it captures everything that Grunge was, sloppy lyrics, screaching guitars and hard drum beats. One song in particular of this album started to get played heavily at parties, this song was Love Buzz. Love Buzz is a cover of a Shocking Blue song which, having heard the original is very different. The only thing reminicant of Shocking Blues version is the bass line is the same but played slower. Another song that was hitting people was About a girl but for the wrong reasons. It was a risk in the first place to put as Kurt puts it "a slower, poppier song" onto Bleach and this didnt go down too well. About a girl went on to become one of Nirvana fans favourites songs though and was the only song played off Bleach at their infamous 1994 MTV unplugged session. Kurt admitted after the album was released that he had written most of the lyrics on the way to record the songs and therefore they weren't really that personal but he would make up for that on the upcoming Nevermind and In Utero. Bleach is a must have in every rock fans music collection as it oppitomises Grunge in all its glory.
