Product Description
Amazon.ca
When it first appeared, Bleach seemed like a tuneful approximation of what grunge rock in the Northwest United States was supposed to sound like--gruff, enraged, sometimes tuneful, sometimes silly. Singer Kurt Cobain had the pipes to belt out such power trash as "Mr. Moustache" and the Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz," but considering the sheer volume of frustrated tuneage coming out of Seattle in 1989, it was easy to miss Bleach's subtler textures. In retrospect, "Negative Creep" and "About a Girl" are the obvious standouts that point toward the strum and bang attack that would catapult Nevermind to the top of the charts. But this is also a band without drummer Dave Grohl; his predecessor, Chad Channing (and also the Melvins' Dale Crover), while competent, is no Grohl. Producer Jack Endino gave this album the best sound $600 could buy. --Rob O'Connor

i think whatever that (...)is smokin is screwin with his mind because bleach is incredibly awseome, especially love buzz, floyd the barber and blew. u dont know (...) about grunge. The whole point of it is to sound like u wanna sound and not what ppl want like this era of cRAP, pop, pop-punk (...)>(...)

alot of people are complaining that these songs are not "slick" enough. or not "grunge" enough. you must understand- nirvana never looked at their music and said "it's not grunge enough". they played their music how they wanted to play it. they didn't see their music in any genre. they just played good music.
this is some great music. about a girl is my favorite, but i love the strait cobain-rock styles of mr. moustache and negative creep. this album is dirty, choppy, horribly produced, and it's probably one of the greatest albums to ever be released in the last 30 years. simply beautiful music with absoloute, honest, and from-the-heart lyrics. this music is good for everyone of any age. old people will definetly get into it because of the serious beatle's influence, and the kids will like it because the music genuinely good.
thanks, nirvana, for a great batch of music..

For $600, this album is amazing. The production value is quite good for this garage album. What I really love about this album is it's sound; they obviously used tube amps when recording, giving their music that nice, warm humming sound coming from Krist's bass and Kurt's guitar. Such tracks as "Love Buzz" and "About a Girl" are prime examples of the sound. As well, I really like Kurt's voice on this album in contrast to "Nevermind" or "In Utero" where he tends to scream incessently; his voice is more calm, more in control, and it has much better tone. As for the songs on the album, it is really hit or miss. You have the hits (Love Buzz, School, About a Girl, Big Cheese, Negative Creep), and the misses (Scoff, Mr. Moustache, Sifting, Downer). Although the album does not have pop-hit after pop-hit like Nevermind, nor does it contain the abstract qualities of In Utero, it stands as a great moment in Seattle music, or indie rock for that matter.

Listen to the samples before buying. It's awful!
No matter what anybody says, Nirvana's Bleach is sub-par by even the most general standards of music And no, Kurt can't get off the hook for being dead, because a lot of what he... Read more

It's disguisting SubPop charges money for albums so bad
If I had to sum up Nirvana's Bleach in one word, it'd be "ouch". There is nothing on Bleach that makes it deserving of a rating higher than 1.5 stars out of 5. Read more
