Bleach Deluxe

Blew=repetitive, maybe a little bland, the bassline is amazing though, the solo is amazing too. 6.8/10 Floyd the Barber=Amazing riff, amazing beat, can’t really hear the bassline, the lyrics are my favorite. Nothing much else to say about it other than in my opinion, it’s a great song! 10/10 About A Girl=I love the electric, the acoustic version was fine, pretty bland for me, but overall just About A Girl, what else could I say? The chorus and solo was hard to learn on guitar though. 9/10 School=Great for probably 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and could be interpreted into your job or grade, whatever you are, the riff is fine, lyrics are simple, drum beat is amazing on this song. 8/10 Love Buzz=Originally by Shocking Blue, but were focusing on the Nirvana version, the bassline, memorable and great, the drum beat is fine, the riff, I don’t know how I feel about it, the lyrics are “Eh” but good, not great, not amazing, not trash, not bad, but good. 5/10 Paper Cuts=Probably the best drum beat, and 3rd best riff on the album, lyrics are 3rd on the list as the best. The bassline is for me, can’t really hear it, only in the chorus. 7.5/10 I’m not gonna rate the rest, but it is a good album. The album cover is 10/10 for me, the back cover is 10/10, the whole album is a 8.9/10, and I’m gonna leave it up to you to rate the rest.

I suppose that, If you're reading this, there's a high chance that you're already a Nirvana fan, and you might be wondering if this reissue is worth buying. Or maybe you're new into Nirvana, and want to know if this one is a good place to start. Whoever you are, I highly recommend you get this CD, and I'll tell you why. If you're a Nirvana fan, let me tell you two things. First, the whole record sounds better. Of course, it won't sound "Produced in 2009" better, but the songs do sound better compared with my old Bleach CD. Second, the live tracks and picture booklet are worth the spend just by themselves. I am amazed at how a 1990 Sub Pop live recording sounds that good. "Sappy" is one of my favorite Nirvana songs, and the live version here is just amazing. Again, it's not "2009 produced" sound quality, but hey, 1990, three instruments, one voice. Grunge at its best. What's not to like? Buy it. If you're new to Nirvana, the obvious advice would be to tell you to get Nirvana's "Nevermind" first. You probably have heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" already. so you should get that one, right? Well, not at all. I think it would be a greater experience if you get Bleach first (this Deluxe Edition, while you're at it), so you can see where this band came from in the first place. You will find yourself attracted to the raw and dark emotion of songs like "Blew", "School", "Negative Creep" or the haunting "Paper Cuts", and you will be amazed that Nirvana could also put some good pop-rock songs like "About A Girl" or "Love Buzz" on the same CD. Or you'll just simply love songs like "Sifting" and "Downer", like I do, just because. Then, you'll have the opportunity to hear some of these songs live, on the same disc. When you have experienced that, and liked that, you'll be in a greater state of mind to buy "Nevermind" and be blown away. On a more particular note, I own a lot of reissues from other bands, specially from bands that have been around for longer than I have been alive. Usually, they'll throw in 2-4 demos or live tracks, that are ussually not as interesting as the album, and a booklet with plenty of words of wisdom from the band or people close to it. What really makes this Bleach edition stand out is the inclusion of a whole concert, and the booklet with all the pictures that do a good work into bringing you back to that era. As I said before, the bonuses are worth the spend. I would also like to correct a fellow reviewer. This live show existed on bootleg form, though not complete (look for the bootleg "World Without End"). Needless to say, the bootleg sounds like crap compared to the sound quality of this Deluxe Edition of Bleach. Again, highly recommended. And a good price too. Get it.

The Live concert shows that side of Nirvana in their early begginings that is not very common in other releases of the band in which you get live performances after they become very popular. This gig included in here is very punk. The Sub Pop Era. The sound mixing is incredible and the photos included are an amazing testimony of the first years of the band that put the underground rock n roll industry on world history and changed the music forever. The Bleach album will always be a classic. Before Nirvana released the Nevermind their sound was more hardcore and less pop and Bleach is pure Grunge. Chad Channings drumming was so amazing and unique and you can feel that in the live performance. The Mollys Lips versions included in here is beautiful...

The second I heard that Bleach was being remastered I knew that I had to get a copy of it, hearing that an unreleased Live show was also along with it only made my anticipation for this album even greater. What I love about this album is how amazing each song is, and the remastering only makes this album sound even greater. Id have to say my favorites off this album are Blew, About A Girl, School, Negative Creep, Paper Cuts, Floyd The Barber, Scoff, Swap Meet, and Downer, and those are just my personal favorites the rest of the album is awesome too. The live show which was recorded February 2 1990, is awesome. Hearing Chad Channing on the drums is great for the set they are playing. The live show is actually on the same disc as the remastered bleach, which I was surprised to see because I thought I had heard that the live show would be on a second disc. This show in particular is awesome simply because of set they play. School as always in their live shows is played with hard hitting drums, powerful guitar riff, and awesome bass lines. Along with School, comes a few tracks I was surprised to see, Dive, Sappy, and Molly's Lips. It was cool to hear those songs since you rarely get a chance to hear how great Nirvana sounded playing them live, though out of those 3 I think I liked Dive the most. Along with the remastered bleach and the live show, Subpop included a bunch of rare photos of the band from the Bleach Era that are very cool and well taken. I had watched an interview with Chad Channing discussing the new photos and he said that one of his favorites is of Krist drenched in blood, which actually is a cool photo lol. One of the photos that I really enjoyed was seeing the contract the band signed with Subpop, little piece of Nirvana history and how it all began. So definitely go out and buy this album, it is worth the money and you will not be disappointed. Bleach is one of the best grunge albums out there, and with this 20th Anniversary reissue you will most certainly find that like fine wine this album only gets better with age.

Bleach is arguably Nirvana's best album, and this deluxe edition comes with an extra record that has a live performance on it. At the time of writing, I got this album for just under 24 dollars plus tax. Very VERY fair, considering the current vinyl market. Sub Pop may have been forgotten, but I never forgot about them. Without them, Kurt wouldn't have become the face of the anti establishment for a lot of us.

It’s Nirvana

Music: It's *not* the best album Nirvana put out by any means. The first half of the album is fantastic while the second half slowly sinks into mediocrity. I would still rate the original Bleach release as 4 stars, but it's not comparable with either Nevermind or In Utero. Quality: The remastering sounds fantastic, clearly outstripping the original release for quality. If you have to buy the album today, this is the version you would buy, no question. If you already own the album, you would replace it with this version for the quality. Extras: The live concert is fantastic, both for content and quality. Unless you have a bootleg, or even if you do, you could buy it for just the live material and the superb sound quality. Packaging: Wow! That's the best part of this release. The booklet and the photos are fantastic adding a new dimension to the album and acts as a snapshot into the personalities of the band. So, why is the 5th star missing? Editing the original album and the new material into 1 CD is a big mistake. A proper re-issue should have taken the original album, added the B-sides and rarities from the era on to the first disc and put the concert on a 2nd CD without editing out the parts in-between the songs. As I sit here with the Nevermind re-issue, the comparison is pretty stark. Even the 2CD+DVD re-issue of Nevermind does a better job than this re-issue of Bleach. Granted, there's probably more of a market for a pricier Nevermind release, adding a 2nd CD to this release shouldn't cost more than pennies. In one sense, Sub Pop really blew this release, despite getting the quality absolutely perfect. Should you still buy this release? Yes, for all the reasons mentioned above. of course, but I can't help wonder what this release could have been.

Great

Quem é fã do Nirvana não pode deixar de ter esse vinil duplo

Super LP und gute Pressung!

かっこいい曲

This is a really great pressing of their first album with a bonus concert (which would be worth the price of admission on its own). The sound is as good as it'll get given the circumstances of the recordings and, having come to the party late on early Nirvana, it's pretty good song wise and performance wise. The concert is great. Like almost better... Hah. Again, no problems with the manufacturing, artwork or pressing. Fantastic. If you like Nirvana. I do and this album will get a lot of play.

Super cadeau pour noël
