When Kurt Cobain was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot, I was in art school in Eugene, Oregon. I was a big fan of what became grunge and eclipsed that day (actually probably earlier as soon as the mainstream devoured it). At any rate, on that day I would have thought that a collection of lullaby versions of Nirvana songs was as hideous as maybe a Kurt Cobain commemorative coffee cup at Starbucks. Fast forward a few years,and guess what? I have kids and drive an SUV. Now do I want my babies listening to the schlock they sell to kids? The saccharine sweet drivel from way to prozac'ed brightly costumed idiots? No way. My babies go to sleep to Nirvana. Suck up your pride and admit you sold out...and buy this cd.

I really enjoyed this CD for myself and my baby. The songs are not heavy at all. Basically, it's just the Nirvana song played w/bouncier instruments. The songs are really good and it was kind of fun to guess which song was playing because it's not really noticable that you're listening to Nirvana. We have also bought some Baby Einstein Mozart and it was not nearly as enjoyable as this CD. I found it very relaxing to listen to.I especially enjoyed the About a Girl track. My baby did fall asleep to the CD the one time we listened to it.
My CD did come w/some cracks on the case.

I have the Rockabye Baby CDs for NIN and Tool, so I thought Nirvana would be just as much fun. However, these songs were scary. I'll be playing this as my Halloween music. Honestly, most of this sounds warped and evil. It's probably because Nirvana did not write very complex arrangements - most were basic and fast, and it sounds like murderous clown music when slowed down and music-boxed.
I won't be playing this for my little one, but it is very effective mood music if you want to terrify someone.

Great way to introduce your child to music w/out going the classical or 'Barney' route.

A pretty inclusive compilation of Nirvana's best songs set to glockenspiels and other soothing instruments. This is a great album to have around when you feel like listening to something 'hardcore' but also want to get your kid down for a nap.

that Nirvana tunes would be soft and soothing as lullabies!! I love this CD and play it often for my daughter, especially during morning naptime. The melodies are perfect to lull her to sleep.

Not as good as others such as Pink Floyd or Bob Marley.... Hard to really make out any of the songs as Nirvana... Basically sounds like random lullabye music...

I have to agree with some of the previous reviews - "demented clown music" os an accurate description. It was just creepy and boring.

I...really do not think that this was ever meant to be made.

Ever.

This is just wrong on so many levels. I agree with the previous review. It sounds like demented clown music. What would Kurt say?
