Biography

Nirvana were formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990.

In the late 1980s Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing first album Bleach for the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. ... Read more in Amazon's Nirvana Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Originally intended as a stopgap record following the massive success of Nirvana's Nevermind, the archival Incesticide album has taken on an added significance in light of subsequent events. Consisting of outtakes, demos, non-album singles, and live BBC sessions, it's a fascinating if less-than-truly essential listening experience. Highlights include the rip-roaring childhood memoir "Sliver" and its caustic companion (from a pre-Nevermind single) "Dive." There's also a brilliant cover of the Vaselines' "Molly's Lips." --Daniel Durchholz

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, dear... January 1, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
....I LOVE Incesticide. And I must be the only Nirvana fan on the planet whose favorite song is Big Long Now. Why is this song so ignored? My god, the words, the haunting melody, the haunting vocals... ....

I won't get into analysing the songs and interpreting them blow-by-blow, but I will say that Kurt Cobain uses at least 7 different voices on this CD, and that each song is melodically and instrumentally genuine and original. The cover songs are also brilliant.

And here's just a little tidbit I have to mention: I became a Nirvana fan only quite recently. I was slightly too young for the whole Nirvana craze of 1991, and the tragedy of 1994.
But when I recently purchased Nevermind, I was hooked. Now, I purchased that album of course because that was "the one to get". HOWEVER, in a matter of one week, I had heard both In Utero and Incesticide, and quite honestly I don't think the big blaring "WARNING"-s are all that important for first-time listeners of the less-commercial Nirvana, if those listeners know good music when they hear it. This is just pure, glorious music with a brain, the kind where you can't predict the ending before the song is halfway through. The kind that you can't sing along to all that easily. The kind where you have to make an effort, for god's sake.
If the pop sap of today's various 'NStynks didn't drain you of your senses, get this CD. Don't be hesitant. And get Bleach and In Utero with it. There's more to Nirvana than Nevermind and Unplugged, as utterly fabulous as those two are (and my goodness, they are!). It might take a couple of listenings to get used to Incesticide. But only a couple. The quality will then speak for itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nirvana Compilation April 16, 2001
Format:Audio CD
Incesticide was released to capitalize on the mammoth success of Nevermind. The album collects early singles, b-sides and outtakes. The album was most people's introduction to the fact that the band had released music prior to Nevermind. The album's first two songs, "Dive" & "Sliver", made up the band's first single. They are both short, but extremely powerful. The album contains some incredible work in addition to "Dive" and "sliver", most notably "Aneurysm". The song is a furious workout with squealing guitars , feedback, power drumming and amid all the noise, an incredible catchy melody. Other strong cuts include "Molly's Lips", "Beeswax", "Stain" "Hairspray Queen" and "Been A Son". There are some forgettable numbers like "Mexican Seafood" and "Aero Zeppelin", but overall, Incesticide is better than your average compilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars "A Great B-Side Album" November 9, 1998
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
'Incesticide' is what it is: A great album of b-sides but not a truly great album. I love this album, don't get me wrong. I love Nirvana, and if you love Nirvana then you will love this. "Dive", the opening track, is a mediocre tune. The best part of this track is the drums. "Sliver" is one of the best Nirvana songs. The music is fun, and the lyrics are sad. "Been A Son" is a great look into Cobain's hatred of rednecks. "Molly's Lips" is another cover tune that is pure punk joy (alot like "Love Buzz"). "Aneurysm" is the most popular out of all the songs on 'Incesticide'. My favorite track on this album though is "Big Long Now". Its kind of like a bad acid trip that eventually leads to insanity. Also you should check out "Aero Zepplin" and "Hairspray Queen". If you like Nirvana, buy 'Incesticide'. If you only liked 'Nevermind' don't bother. This is Nirvana in thier pure punk attitude.

The case was broken but the tape was mint. Came in average time. Good quality. Easy to deal with and the description was spot on for the tape. I can overlook the case issue.
