Editorial Reviews

As persistency goes, one must give credit where it is due to the Vitamin imprint. Their rigorous schedule of releases assures the public that there will be, at bare minimum, one to two releases per month paying homage to a current pop icon or legendary rock figure. With this installment, the label looks to honor one of grunge's most revered albums, if not the most revered album of the era: Nirvana's Nevermind. Stripped of the brutal percussion work, the squelching fierce attack of Kurt Cobain's guitar mastery and his trademark screams, the quartet find and emphasize layer after layer within the simplicity of Cobain's melodies and song arrangements. While some songs don't transfer over well in the process, others work quite nicely. While most people can easily dismiss this as a novelty (and to a degree, it is), there are interesting aspects to this album that the die-hard Nirvana fan will find intriguing and enjoyable ~ Rob Theakston, Rovi

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Cool, January 9, 2006

This isn't for those who like Nirvana solely for "Teen Spirit" and all that junk... My girlfriend laughs at me because I like to play this in my car, but really, it's quite different and very fun to hear the classic Nevermind performed in this way. A good aspect of it is that I can listen to Nirvana while studying... it helps me because there's no words in it whatsoever... i dont know... anyway, pick this up if youre a Nirvana fan... pretty cool and very worthwhile!! :)

I will agree with other reviews by saying this is very fun to listen to and it is very relaxing. Also I like listening to music while working but the singing always distracts me, this is perfect and I recommend any of the string quartet tribute albums because they are done very truthfully and with a nice tempo.

Search for your favourite band you might find a tribute, seriously they even did Slayer!!!
