Recorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, California.
Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana`s second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. This wasn`t entirely an accident, since Nirvana did release a record with a shiny surface, no matter how humongous the guitars sounded. For all the anguish on Nevermind, it`s bracing because Kurt Cobain exorcizes his demons through evocative wordplay and mangled screams, and because the band has a tremendous, unbridled power that turns pain into pure catharsis. In retrospect, Nevermind may seem too unassuming for its mythic status -- it`s simply a great modern punk record -- but though it may no longer seem life-changing, it is certainly life-affirming, which may just be better. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
