their breakout record nevermind and their rise to Nirvana In Utero 20th Anniversary signature shirt  popularity sort of marked a changing of the guard for mainstream rock music a shift away from a lot of the overly glitzy pop music and New Wave music from the Hard Rock and the power ballads in the hair metal that were ruling the roost at the time during this moment in music in the mid 80s in the late 80s there was kind of a dark underbelly of rock music of underground rock music growing on the west coast specifically in Seattle. you can catch a lot of these artists and a lot of these records on some compilations like deep-six from CZ records on this comp you can hear early cuts from The Melvins for example even Sub Pop straight out of Seattle was dropping compilations around this time like the Sub Pop 100 while Nirvana wasn’t on here there were grunge acts from the west coast like you men on this compilation for example and Sub Pop did release Nirvana’s full-length debut bleach which was an incredibly successful record despite how raw the recording was.

And this album essentially gave Nirvana the opportunity to Nirvana In Utero 20th Anniversary signature shirt  go to that with a major label record supporting them for their next full-length album the grunge sound had been there for a while with Melvin’s and Soundgarden and the like but it just didn’t have the the national stage yet nor did it really have the record to kind of create interest in it. and that’s where nevermind came in this album really sold the mainstream public on grunge with fantastic singles like smells like teen spirit and lithium and come-as-you-are and while these tracks weren’t singles. it’s kind of easy to hear the influence in the connections that were drawn and sort of made on tracks like lounge act as well as on a plane the more easygoing and sweeter more melodic cuts on this album had a huge impact on many of the alternative and grunge rock and sort of post grunge bands that would follow after Nirvana and had a more commercial sound for a long time after Nirvana broke and Kurt Cobain passed away the major labels tried really hard to create the next Nirvana and while there were many very successful rock bands after Nirvana broke in the 90s is it just wasn’t happening but

Freedom from their label at least it sounds that way with this record being a tad more raw than what the band had presented on nevermind they also teamed up with Steve Albini of shellac and big black fame to produce this thing while Kurt and Nirvana did get a lot of Nirvana In Utero 20th Anniversary signature shirt criticism and maybe were shafted a little bit by the mainstream in the music media a bit simultaneously. they had kind of this imperviousness because their fans just love them so much I mean there were such a cultural phenomenon. it’s kind of crazy to sort of see Nirvana continuing to be successful despite having such destructive live shows and on numerous occasions kind of just flipping the bird to the music media so coming together with a record that was a follow-up to never mind not only did Nirvana just come through the more animalistic. just noisier album but this record is so very much a reflection on just the sudden popularity of not just Nirvana as a band but also Kirk Kove. there’s so many lyrics on this record where it’s clear he’s just reflecting on how the media and just how people perceive him as far as the sound of this record goes there.
