After the band, but especially for the singer Kurt Cobain, surprising success of its predecessor, "Nevermind" this plate had just be quite different. The best way commerce incapable as schedules allow. The record company did not mind this, the fans, of course, and therefore this plate into a global success has been. Already in the first line of text from the opening track "Serve the Servants" refers the band on this condition: "Teenage angst has paid off well". Musically disturbing then acts the second song of the album "Scentless Apprentice" with the furious, herausgeschrienen refrain "Go away - get away, get away, get a-way". Lyrically you can see from the text line "Like most babies smell like butter / His smell smelled like no other / He was born scentless and senseless / He was born a scentless apprentice" a tribute to the novel "Perfume" by Patrick Susskind. It follows the first single "Heart-Shaped Box", with the band again in humanity complains ("Hey / Wait / I've got a new complait"). A broad hint, hint should the record company have gotten to the song "Rape me", because this was one reason why the band could not play this in September 1992 at the MTV Video Music Awards. From this point, he became my favorite piece of the plate. Previously, this was still the next "Frances Farmer Will Have her revenge on Seattle", which caused one hand by the statement "I miss the comfort in being sad" sensation, on the other hand by the fact that there was really Frances Farmer. It was an actress from Seattle, which also could not withstand the pressure to succeed to the public. It follows with "Dumb" perhaps poppigste song of the record in which Cobain about arguing whether the state of stupidity or of happiness prevails in it. These two states are but surpassed by the anger, nachzuhören in the song "Milk It", who slides into a vanguard and New Wave-corner and thus a lot of "Nevermind" fans will have quite distraught. And if all the rage in the body does not disappear by itself, reference is made to "Pennyroyal Tea", whose delight is to have abortion-promoting effect. The song "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" is kept very bulky and radio incapacitated by his guitar distorted feedback orgies, just like the -erinnernde on "Territorial pissing" "Tourette's", where in just 1:30 minutes swearwords are herausgeschrien who prefer not to be enumerated here. Despite all this anger and provocation on the whole album there with "All Apologies" an apology song by the band, but not without a good dose of irony. Although this album, the last official publication represents Nirvana will live on forever.
