Nirvana - Bleach

It was released on the legendary indie label Sub Pop.Nirvana's debut album "Bleach" met with little fanfare upon its release in 1989.Released on the seminal Seattle label, Sub Pop, the album is an impressive work. Kurt Cobain was a troubled young man and his conflicts, fears and angst drove his music. Bleach has a much heavy grunge sound to it than their subsequent releases, but it still has the crisp melodies that separated the band from the rest of the grunge artists.

"Bleach" is grunge in its truest sense-distorted guitars, fuzz, feedback etc.Songs like "About A Girl", "Negative Creep" and "Blew" have almost pop sensibilities but unlike most happy, sunny pop songs, the lyrics about hurt, obsession, betrayal.While the songs aren't as tightly written as those on "Nevermind" and "In Utero," it's still a fine collection of well-crafted songs. Most of the songs are powerful barrages of machine gun guitars and stinging feedback.At the height of hair-metal, few outside the Seattle underground scene had heard of the band, much less the word "grunge."
