Notes

This is Nirvana's debut album.  It was not popular at the time of it's release, selling only 30,000 copies.  Though after the popular success of their second album the record sales for Bleach sky rocketed.  This album sounds the grungiest of all Nirvana albums and includes darker themed lyrics.  In 1992, 3 years after the album was released, the album hit number 89 on the Billboard charts.

Recommendations

Nirvana only released three official studio albums.  For a band that was so great that is not many.  This is defiantly the weakest of the three, but come on, it's Nirvana and must be in your collection.

If you plan on purchasing Bleach

You will have no problem finding this album at your local record store, as well as other Nirvana albums.  There is only one version of this album that you can purchase and you shouldn't have to pay more than 11 bucks.  Check it out at Cdnow.com.

If you don't plan on purchasing Bleach but want to hear some tracks from it

Bleach is not as loaded as other Nirvana albums, but it does contain some good tracks.  If you don't plan on owning it you can check out my top 5 at Itunes or Napster and see if you want some individual tracks for your collection.  For more suggestions you can also check out my ideal compilation at my Nirvana Home Page.
