Review
Nirvana's self-titled compilation album, released in 2002, serves as a fitting retrospective of the band's iconic career. Featuring a mix of their greatest hits alongside rare gems, the album highlights Kurt Cobain's raw emotion, Krist Novoselic's driving basslines, and Dave Grohl's thunderous drumming. Tracks like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come As You Are" solidify their grunge legacy, while the haunting "You Know You're Right," previously unreleased, provides a poignant glimpse of what might have been. Though it doesn't dive deep into their full discography, Nirvana is a powerful introduction to one of the most influential bands of the '90s and a bittersweet farewell to their brief but unforgettable journey.
