Description of Nirvana:
Essentially a greatest-hits collection with one previously unreleased song, "You Know You're Right," and producer Scott Litt's 1994 remix of "Pennyroyal Tea," Nirvana the album is nevertheless a welcome addition to the band's canon. Crisp, elegant liner notes by Rolling Stone writer David Fricke put us squarely in Kurt Cobain's mindset as he entered a Seattle studio in January 1994--a full two days later than expected--to record what would be his final session with Nirvana. The resulting "You Know You're Right" locates Cobain at the apogee of his disenfranchisement with tongue nevertheless planted firmly in cheek. Bawdy, raucous, and venomous, "You Know You're Right" could have been lifted from Nevermind. A mix of tracks from that album ("Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Are," "Lithium," and "In Bloom") sits opposite stuff from early EPs and the Bleach disc ("About a Girl," "Been a Son," and "Sliver"), plus two from the MTV Unplugged sessions and several more from In Utero. Not the Nirvana treasure chest we hoped for, but solid nonetheless. --Kim Hughes
Nirvana Reviews:
Cheap Thrills 
2009-12-12 - This album is a cheap way for the people that really got into "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to get their Nirvana fix. If you really like Nirvana, then you already own all the albums and all you need to do is download "You Know You're Right" off the internet. I don't think Kurt would have let this one get released if he was still alive. However, the songs are great, this album just doesn't contain all the greatest hits, just the popular ones.
Gary 
2009-07-14 - This is a well-done compilation of Nirvana's best hits. It has all the good pop-y Nirvana songs.
Nirvana CD 
2009-05-15 - CD arrived quickly and was in good condition. I listen to it often :)!!!!!
There's more to it than this . . .
2009-05-11 - In truth, I give the band Nirvana five stars, as it is one of the most influential rock bands of the 90's. This is just one of the few bands back in the days that brought massive popularity to Alternative Rock. However, I have to give this CD three stars, just because there's more to Nirvana than just their hit singles. Of course, everyone's got to listen to the previously unreleased single "You Know You're Right." But then again, everyone's got to listen to almost all of the songs that Nirvana has released. Bleach, Nevermind, Insecticide, In Utero, and MTV Unplugged in New York are just right. I know times are tough right now, but if you're absolutely willing to go for it, go for all five albums that I've just mentioned instead of this compilation album that's featured on the top of this page. There's more than just "The Man Who Sold the World," "Heart Shaped Box," and "In Bloom". There's also "Polly," "Scentless Apprentice," "Something in the Way," etc.
14 songs only!
2008-12-06 - Only for diehard fans of the late grunge group Nirvana would this album since it includes an unreleased track called You Know Your Right which was the last track record by the group before Kurt's suicide in 1994. For only having 14 songs it should of had more like Negative Creep, Slappy, Scentless Apprentice, Drain You, Polly. The rest of the tracks on the album like In Bloom, Smells like teen spirit, Lithium, Rape me, Heartshape Box, About a girl, Been a son, all apologizes, the man who sold the world, pennyroyal tea can be found in Beach, Nevermind, and In Utero plus Unplugged album. There is no need for this album unless you want almost all of the hits with a few missing. It looks like Dave, Courtney, and Chris were just looking for a quick cash in and just throw this collection whoever did, I think it was Courtney mostly. It should of had videos or interview with Dave, Chris and former members of the band talking about Nirvana or at least live footage of the band.
