Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's 1991 Nevermind turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. No matter how much anguish there is on Nevermind is bracing because Kurt Cobain exorcises his demons through evocative wordplay and mangled screams paired with the band's a tremendous, unbridled power that transcends the pain, turning into pure catharsis. And that's as key to the record's success as Cobain's songwriting, since Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music that is gripping, powerful, and even fun (and, really, there's no other way to characterize "Territorial Pissings" or the surging "Breed"). Nevermind immediately became a smash hit, quickly selling out its initial shipment of 50,000 copies and creating a shortage across America. What helped the record become a success was "Smells Like Teen Spirit," a blistering four-chord rocker that was accompanied by a video that shot into heavy MTV rotation. By the beginning of 1992, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had climbed into the American Top Ten and Nevermind bumped Michael Jackson's much-touted comeback album Dangerous off the top of the album charts; it reached the British Top Ten shortly afterward. By February, the album had been certified triple platinum. 引用 Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind was the group's first release on DGC Records. Frontman Kurt Cobain sought to make music outside the restrictive confines of the Seattle grunge scene, drawing influence from groups such as the Pixies and their use of song volume dynamics. Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label, Nevermind became a surprise success in late 1991, largely due to the popularity of its first single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". By January 1992, it had replaced Michael Jackson's album Dangerous at number one on the Billboard charts. The album also produced three other singles: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The Recording Industry Association of America has certified the album Diamond (over 10 million copies shipped), and the album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Nevermind was responsible for bringing alternative rock to a large mainstream audience, and critics subsequently regarded it as one of the best albums of all time. 引用 最近有一则社会新闻还蛮有意思的,说是某老爸把他宝贝婴孩的"裸照"放上网,被网路警察控以"散佈猥褻品"还是违反"儿童保护法"......,於是我想到这张专辑,这张封面。 前一阵子还在说把Nirvana专辑几乎出清不听的事情,说是告别年少轻狂的証明,但是这张多年前被主人扫地出门的专辑怎又出现在这里??? 我想,这跟我们这个年纪的人迷"无敌铁金钢"的道理是一样的,纯粹是对逝去少年或青少年时期的追忆、怀念。於是,基於这种心理,又把这张专辑找了回来。但是我不敢光明正大听,而且这里头的东西与书店那种"宁静祥和"的气氛实在衝突太大,只好闭店之后放上这张专辑,扩大机音量旋钮豪爽地转开,在灯光半灭、空荡荡的书区里,不死的愤世灵魂以灭耳膜的声音,看看是否能抖下那一排排孤独书本上的灰尘? Smells Like Teen Spirit ? 不,这只是一个中年男子藉以麻痺的自爽而已...........这样才能回到18岁吧。
