anyone else thinking Nevermind is Nirvana's weakest album?

In Utero wasn't produced at all....it was recorded and mixed. and there were different recording tricks that were used like mic placement, etc. but as far as actual production, there was none, it came out the way it was recorded.

now that's fine and dandy. but I think it's safe to say that if Nevermind had been released that way, most of us never would've heard of Nirvana because they never would've got played on the radio or Mtv in those days.

they are 2 albums that stand apart, but I like them both. I like Nevermind better because I think the songs as a whole are better. the high spots on In Utero are just as good as the high spots on Nevermind, but there is more filler on In Utero. I don't mind the production of Nevermind or the anti-production of In Utero. I think they both work just fine.

as for Bleach, there's some good songs, but it's a shitty production. there was the same kind of "raw" vibe on a lot of Dinosaur Jr's early albums, but it worked a lot better for Dinosaur Jr. for Bleach, it just sounds to me like a band that's never been in a studio and a producer that isn't adept at working the equipment.

as for Incesticide, geez it's a freaking b-side/rarities compilation. I take it as a joke that people would say that's a better "album" than the album that actually propelled them into the mainstream. that's like saying "Ten pales in comparison to the 1994-1997 Christmas Singles"

It's not weak, it has it's moments to shine, but the hype surrounding it actually got me bored of it). I listened to it way too much growing up when it was popular.

Bleach is my favorite, almost like a punk record or very punk influenced (being the fact Kurt attended a Melvins show, that started his fuel for rock and roll). I love the raw crunchy riffs of such simple music arrangements, but songs like school and Negative creep still get me dancing around my room like a crazy ass mofo.
