Incesticide - Nirvana Reviews

Bands come and go, but albums remain. So become timeless, sell millions and are talked about for generations. Some are forgotten about in an instance. And there are albums by bands who became so big from just one album that their other albums pale into insignificance, regardless of how good they were or could have been. This ladies and gentlemen, ...  Read the complete review

This without a doubt one of the best B-sides album ever made. Second in my opinion only to Oasis's 'The Masterplan'. It is baffling that songs like 'Dive', 'Mexican Seafood' and 'Aneurysm' weren't A-sides. Only the talented of badns can produce songs of that calibre and have them as B-sides. 'Incesticide' was the biggest selling B-saides album of ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Incesticide was Nirvana's third album, although I don't consider it a proper album. It was pieced together from BBC session recordings done for John Peel's and Mark Goodier's radio shows, and "B-sides, demo recordings and stuff never before available", as the sticker says. I'm not sure which of the tracks are B-sides ...  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." ...  Read the complete review

For a compilation album, (which it is). Incesticide still gives the feel of a proper LP. Each song is experienced in its roughest form, giving it a certain appeal of its own. The album's first three tracks are classic nirvana - starting with 'Dive', a mixture of pounding bass riff and heavy guitar harmony. This is probably my second ...  Read the complete review

Incesticide is not a proper studio Nirvana album, but I have to say that it is probably one of my favourites. The songs are session tracks gathered together somehow. The first few songs are the typical Nirvana fun catchy grungy songs that you can sing along to. ‘Sliver’ (Or Grandpa Joe as I call it) just makes me laugh and conjures up ...  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” ...  Read the complete review

you'd think that since this album's a collection of b sides, demos and live sessions etc that it wouldn't measure up to nirvana's proper studio albums but just listen to it and you'll see that it's as good as any other nirvana album. It's somehow catchier yet it still has that edge. I love it. Brilliant songs like ...  Read the complete review

Incesticide is a collection of demos, B-sides, BBC sessions, and basically not so good Nirvana tracks. Some are great however, such as ‘Sliver’, ‘Dive’ and ‘Aneurysm’, and are classic Nirvana. The album is less poppy and easy to listen to than ‘Nevermind’, which is good or bad depending on ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Incesticide is officially a collection of rare B-sides, original demos and generally unavailable stuff. That all might sound a bit rubbish but it is in fact absolutely amazing. This album contains some of Nirvana’s best material. Dive, Sliver, Polly, Son of a Gun and Aneurysm are all superb songs, which is what you expect from the greatest ...  Read the complete review

This album is a collection of songs from numerous sources, including the John Peel session. Although the fact is that it's an amalgam of disjointed tracks from a myriad of sources, it still works as a whole with good tunes throughout. Notable highlights include Dive and a speeded-up version of Polly. Again (as I mentioned regarding ...  Read the complete review
