It helped that Cobain had yet to be disabused of the idea that you could be an idiosyncratic indie kid and a rock star without compromising on either front. That's probably why the bonus material here feels less like a revelation and more like the kind of peek-behind-the-curtain that you wind up regretting. Nevermind is basically a great fake-out. It presents itself as an off-the-cuff explosion, a from-the-gut expression of realness and energy in the grand punk tradition, but it was actually the product of a shit ton of hard work.
If you don't hold with the first-take-is-the-best-take philosophy, your respect for Cobain may actually increase when you realize how dedicated he was to getting every element right.
Listening to him fumbling his way toward greatness on the "boombox" mixes of songs like "Come as You Are" and "Something in the Way" or hearing a newly cemented group working out the kinks in their interplay in the studio, you may also realize that you don't want to hear the missteps and rewrites and second guessing that went into the perfect-as-is final product.
The "boombox" mixes, Devonshire mixes, and Smart Sessions early Vig-produced takes recorded with drummer Chad Channing that were initially intended for release on a second album for Sub Pop are largely work tapes. Listening to them feels like studying every unused scrap of a film classic that someone managed to sneak out of the editing room, which is about as fun as that description makes them sound.
If you've always been suspicious of the album's production sheen, there's no Holy Grail here that's going to give you the raw take you're looking for. For all its finessing and tweaking, though, Nevermind is still a thousand times closer to the unpremeditated intensity of Cobain's D. I defy you to listen to any of the live performances on this edition-- the only essential extras, though less uncomfortably intense than 's MTV Unplugged set and less definitive and uniformly powerful than 's release of their king-making set at the Reading Festival-- and not hear a ragged, joyful, charismatic band that makes those inert, angst-ridden followers sound like they come from another aesthetic universe.
That charisma is a big reason why Nevermind remains a But in-concert takes on " Sliver " and " Been a Son " that are the third most thrilling live versions officially available on CD? It's not as if all this "exclusive" dreck-- most of which has been floating around on bootlegs and. If you're truly interested in hearing this stuff, the two-disc deluxe set is easily the better deal, giving you a little hint of the various stages of Nevermind 's construction without wearing you out the way the four-disc set will.
But if you really want to celebrate the 20th, you'll be better off just giving the original album a few spins. Greg Sage. Been a Son. Track Listing - Disc 2. Immodium Breed.
