Someone on Reddit Inverted the Bleach album cover and coloured it:

I'd never read this 2008 long-form interview with Krist Novoselic before and it's fantastic: https://www.sos.wa.gov/legacy/stories/k ... mplete.pdf

What a lovely and interesting guy he seems to be.

I've posted this before, but if Bleach had the production of In Utero, that would be my favorite Nirvana album hands-down...

I Hate Myself and Want To Die
Milk It
Scentless Apprentice
Sifting
Very Ape

(I'd easily pick a couple covers from Unplugged, but that feels like cheating)

I enjoy the production of Bleach. The drums sound a little glossy and that solo on Blew is way too slick for the rest of the album, but little character choices like that add to the appeal alongside the mostly raw guitar tracks. Nevermind takes that concept way too far, and I almost can't listen to it because of that. Bleach, though, it's an endearing snapshot of a young band figuring out their sound. It would be cool to hear Bleach with Albini production, I'll admit.

I'll try a top five. Doubt it's accurate long-term, but here we go:

Frances Farmer
Serve the Servants
Stay Away
All Apologies
Hairspray Queen

On this very day I'd say:

You Know You're Right
Dive
Serve the Servants
Lounge Act
Oh, the Guilt

Dive nearly made mine too. I reach for Incesticide more than any other Nirvana disc, if I reach for one at all.

There was a long time where that particular album was my favorite of theirs.

I've been coming back to this one a lot recently.

I don't know what my five would be exactly but like Trag Scentless Apprentice would be in mine

Dive was very close to making my list.

Incesticide is by far my most listened to Nirvana album.

Never really cared for Heart-Shaped Box. In fact, I think it kinda sucks.

Are you focusing on pick at the moment or a bit of both?

Almost put Frances farmer over in bloom

Ah, I love it.

I could live without Lithium or All Apologies, though.
