[26], Nevermind was mastered on the afternoon of August 2 at The Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California. [23] Novoselic recalled, "We said, 'right on,' because those Slayer records were so heavy.
[77] Karen Schoemer of The New York Times wrote, "With 'Nevermind,' Nirvana has certainly succeeded. [101] In 2006, readers of Guitar World ranked Nevermind 8th on a list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Recordings. Reviewer Ira Robbins wrote, "If Nirvana isn't onto anything altogether new, Nevermind does possess the songs, character and confident spirit to be much more than a reformulation of college radio's high-octane hits. "[6] Grohl said that the band at that point often made the analogy of likening their music to children's music, in that the band tried to make its songs as simple as possible. "[78] Entertainment Weekly gave Nevermind an A– rating, and reviewer David Browne argued that on Nevermind, Nirvana "never entertain the notion" of wanting to sound "normal", compared to other contemporary alternative bands. And the animals I've trapped While Nevermind is widely associated with grunge, the album features the acoustic ballad "Polly; the hard rock song "Stay Away"; and the cellist-incorporated "Something in the Way". The clip features an orchestral remix of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way,” a cut from the band’s classic 1991 album, Nevermind.
[3] In addition, it was responsible in part for bringing both grunge and alternative rock music to a mainstream audience and ending the dominance of hair metal. [15], After signing to DGC, a number of producers for the album were suggested, including Scott Litt, David Briggs, and Don Dixon, but Nirvana still wanted Butch Vig. The second discs feature early session recordings, including the Smart Studio sessions and some band rehearsals recorded with a boombox, plus two BBC session recordings. [82] Nevermind topped the poll by a large majority, and Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote in his companion piece to the poll, "As a modest pop surprise they might have scored a modest victory, like De La Soul in 1990. [42] A few months after the original baby shot, Kirk Weddle also photographed the entire band underwater for a promotional poster.
[17] As recording ended, Cobain grew tired of the title and suggested to Novoselic that the album be named Nevermind.
[64] It was also certified Diamond in Canada (1,000,000 units sold) by the Canadian Recording Industry Association in March 2001[65] and five times Platinum in the United Kingdom. [28], After the release of Nevermind, members of Nirvana later expressed dissatisfaction with the album's production for its perceived commercial sound. "[90], Nevermind has continued to garner critical praise, has been ranked highly on lists of the most acclaimed albums of all time and is ranked the best album of the 1990s according to Acclaimed Music which statistically aggregates hundreds of published lists.

"[88] In its citation placing it at number 17 in its 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, Rolling Stone said, "No album in recent history had such an overpowering impact on a generation—a nation of teens suddenly turned punk—and such a catastrophic effect on its main creator. "—" denotes releases that did not chart or were not released in that territory.
Many fans believed the song’s lyrics were autobiographical, and that lead singer Kurt Cobain wrote them about being homeless and living under a bridge. "[85] Karen Schoemer of the New York Times wrote that "What's unusual about Nirvana's Nevermind is that it caters to neither a mainstream audience nor the indie rock fans who supported the group's debut album. [7], In early 1990, Nirvana began planning its second album for Sub Pop, tentatively titled Sheep.
[29] Many of the songs on Nevermind feature shifts in dynamics, where the band changes from quiet verses to loud choruses.
This myth, propagated by Cobain, was refuted in 2001 with the publication of his biography Heavier than Heaven, written by Charles Cross, who affirmed that if Cobain really had spent nights underneath the bridge mentioned in the song, he would have been in danger of being swept away by the tide of the Wishkah River.
Once recording commenced, the band worked eight to ten hours a day. It's closer to a Mötley Crüe record than it is a punk rock record."[25].

"[80] Select compared the band to Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, and the Pixies, stating that the album "proves that Nirvana truly belong in such high company. [11], On April 6, Nirvana played a local show in Madison with fellow Seattle band Tad.
"[58] Nirvana found as they toured Europe during the end of 1991 that the shows were dangerously oversold, television crews became a constant presence onstage, and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was almost omnipresent on radio and music television. The Boston Globe was less enthusiastic about the album; reviewer Steve Morse wrote, "Most of Nevermind is packed with generic punk-pop that had been done by countless acts from Iggy Pop to the Red Hot Chili Peppers," and added "the band has little or nothing to say, settling for moronic ramblings by singer-lyricist Cobain. The song's video had received a world premiere on MTV's late-night alternative show 120 Minutes, and soon proved so popular that the channel began playing it during the day. [53] Geffen shipped about half of the initial U.S. pressing to the American Northwest, where it sold out quickly and was unavailable for days.
