About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Buying time and thwarting bootleggers, Nirvana and DGC released the rarities compilation Incesticide toward the end of 1992. Like any odds'n'sods collection, this is uneven, but that's its charm since it captures Nirvana's character better than any official album. After all, this was a band that was born equally from '70s sludge metal, bubblegum pop, post-punk artiness, and indie rock inclusiveness, each of which are apparent on this collection. There are some non-entities here, particularly on the second side, but the plodding sub-metallic grind was part of their identity, one part of their multi-faceted character. Nirvana meant everything to everyone, from the jangle pop veterans to the garage rock ravers that worshipped the Stooges to stoner metal fetishes and indie rock bed-sits that adopted Sebadoh just as they outgrew Morrissey -- everybody loved Nirvana, and there's something for every kind fan here, thanks to murky sludge, Devo and Vaseline covers, BBC sessions, instrumentals, and limited-edition singles, plus sub-Melvins goop, everything visceral where Bleach was tame. Nevermind doesn't capture this freewheeling indie spirit but Incesticide does, piling on some essentials in the meantime -- the pummeling "Dive," the childhood snapshot "Sliver," the terrific forgotten indie pop tune "Been a Son," and "Aneurysm," perhaps the greatest single song the group ever recorded. Yeah, there's some filler here, but this is the sound of what Nirvana was actually like. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

July 17, 2005: I was 17 when Bleach came out. We spun that disk ‘till it practically wore thin. I can vividly remember driving an hour west from Morehead State to Lexington, KY to pick up Nevermind the day it came out. The ride back was something I will never forget. We didn’t even know what grunge was yet. When I look at the revolution that the X-generation gave to music history, this is the album that most typifies this onslaught. While Nevermind and In-Utero are both complete and cohesive packages, it is this gem of an album that I most remember. If you are a music lover, and the history of the moments are important to you, there is no way that this album will disappoint.

January 16, 2005: Well, I could be damned but Incesticide was a collection of previously unreleased material that people kept bootlegging and alot of it were songs from before Nevermind( if not all of it). It's a great album, I thought the New-wave Polly gave it a faster cooler touch to the sad and sincere song. The most powerful song is Aneurysm which has really great energy.. makes me want to jump around and destroy stuff ^_^ Nirvana's a really really great band, I love them!
