Henry Reviews NIRVANA - "Nevermind" Album from 1991 - Episode 3

Henry reviews one of the most iconic albums from the "grunge" era of the early 90's - "Nevermind" from Hall of Fame band Nirvana.  The songs and videos from this album were played incessantly on MTV and everywhere else, making Nirvana one of the most influential bands at the time, and ushering in a new genre of music from Seattle with a new sound - GRUNGE.

Henry is joined by his brother-in-law Lavar who has always loved Nirvana and this album in particular, as he came out of the hip hop world with his music.  Lavar and Henry talk about stories of the first time they heard this band and this album and the impact it had on them and what they loved about the sound from the very beginning.  Tom talks about his first time hearing the album and realizing the 80's hair band era was over!  Henry discussed his old band Peralta and their chance of getting a record deal in 1991 was quashed by this new style of Grunge music coming on the scene.  Henry, Lavar and Tom talk about what they think the epic "baby cover" for Nevermind really means and their interpretation of it.

Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991, by DGC Records.  It was Nirvana's first release on a major label and the first to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Produced by Butch Vig,  Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work.  It was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, and Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, in May and June 1991, and mastered that August at the Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California.

Written primarily by frontman Kurt Cobain, Nevermind is noted for channeling a range of emotions, being noted as dark, humorous, and disturbing. It includes anti-establishment views, anti-sexism, frustration, alienation, and troubled love inspired by Cobain's broken relationship with Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail.  According to Cobain, the sound of the album was influenced by bands such as Pixies, R.E.M., the Smithereens, and Melvins. Though the album is considered a cornerstone of the grunge genre, it is noted for its musical diversity, of course it's now classic hard-edge songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" which was an anthem for youth at the time, but also includes acoustic ballads ("Polly" and "Something in the Way") and punk-inspired hard rock ("Territorial Pissings" and "Stay Away").

Nevermind became an unexpected critical and commercial success, reaching the top 10 on charts across the world. On January 11, 1992, it knocked Michael Jackson's Dangerous out of the number one spot on the US Billboard 200 and was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week.  The lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", reached the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.  Its music video was also heavily rotated on MTV. Three other successful singles were released: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The album was voted the best album of the year in Pazz & Jop critics' poll, while "Smells Like Teen Spirit" also topped the single-of-the-year and video-of-the-year polls.  The album also garnered the band three Grammy Award nominations in total across the 34th and 35th Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album.
