In all honesty, i dont remember anything thats even half gut-wrenching as this album. I can listen to separate songs from this one, but its extremely hard to sit through it in all of its entirety. Whatever adds emotional weight to all of this is the fact that it was one of the last efforts by Nirvana. But even leaving that aside, most of the songs are incredibly sad, whether its covers (Jesus Doesnt Me For A Sunbeam, Man Who Sold The World, Oh Me, Lake Of Fire, Where Did You Sleep Last Night) or original songs performed in acoustic versions (About A Girl, On A Plain and the fact that quiet wisely, Smells Like Teen Spirit was nowhere to be found). Probably one of those albums that stays with you for years.
