Incesticide - Nirvana

As many other reviewers here have mentioned, this is not a 'proper' album, rather, it is a compilation of B sides, live sessions and rare tracks, compiled after Cobain's death. This might put you off, but I heartily recommend it. It starts off sounding something vaguely like Nevermind, although the second half of the album is more grungy, resembling "Bleach" closer. A lot of people knock the first track, Dive. OK, so lyrically it's very simple: it's largely Kurt repeating the line "Dive, dive, dive, dive with me", but it still works. The guitar work is awesome, and I think it is like a second Smells Like Teen Spirit at ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be one of my favourite ‘albums’ by the band that is no longer. However, this is not actually an ‘album’. Incesticide is made up of rare tracks by Nirvana, and b-sides. “Inside Incesticide: rare B-sides, BBC sessions, original demo recordings, out-takes, stuff never before available” as it states on the sticker on the c.d.-case. From this you may be able to tell that you get your moneys worth, even if you are not a manic Nirvana fan, and it is the same price as a normal album today. It was released in 1997 and has the maddest album cover that I think that Nirvana ever had…and, yes, that ...  Read the complete review

Well what can I say, Nirvana, well that says it all. Nirvarna, a way to escape from life after being a good person, to Nirvana, a place better than heavan, and Nirvana's music is defenately is better than heavan. How do they do it, they produce Nevermind, the finest album of all time, and then they manage to make a B-side album (scraps they worked on) which also became a classic album. I love you man! You really know how to kick ass. ...  Read the complete review

Although Incesticide is basically a collection of (supposedly) below album standard songs and live sessions, it is surprisingly good, and well worth buying. Track one ("Dive") is a Nirvana B-side (unreleased song), and isn't fantastic. It's basically a slow song in which Kurt repeatedly sings "Dive With Me." Not a particularly good album opener. Track two ("Sliver") is actually quite a good song, and isn't as depressing as some of the more well-known Nirvana songs. In my opinion it's better than a lot of Nirvana "A-sides" (if such a phrase exists). "Stain", track three, sounds ...  Read the complete review

Incesticide, released in 1992, is a compilation album from the band nirvana which contains demos, bsides and other recordings that didn't make the albums. Of course then you would think that its not going to be as good ad their studio albums, and yes, I guess you would be right however its not a studio album and when you listen to it for what it is, this is actually still a really good album with some really good songs. The first song dive kicks the album off to a perfect start, it's a really rocky song with great guitar and drums, the only thing letting down I think is the lyrics that are pretty similar throughout and get a bit dull, however it's a pretty ...  Read the complete review
