Nirvana is one of those bands that will never fade from the memory of anyone who's ever heard one of their songs. There's something utterly powerful about the bitingly real lyrics combined with the amazing guitar playing. There's also something haunting about hearing the voice and instrumentals of a man who's been dead ten years. Nirvana's stunning music is gathered in a "best of" collection on this CD, showcasing not only the biggest hits but the most truthful and edgy of their songs.

Anger. The prevailing moods of this CD are sarcasm, anger, bitterness, and spite. If there's ever a day I feel any of these emotions, I reach for this CD. It's the kind of music you can scream along to; jack up the bass on until you can't hear yourself think. It's also the perfect soundtrack to a pity-party -- and face it, we all have those sometimes.

The lyrics, and the guitar.

There are a couple of points where the sound quality slips.

Cry -- and cry I did.

Remorseful, sad, regretful... Yet less empty.

Is my favourite band, hands down, of all time.

It's amazing, and beautiful, and it makes you feel so RAW.

Cobain's been dead for 10 years now, but the music of his band still warrents emotion among its ever-growing cultlike following. It deserves every word of praise that it gets.
