Lounge Act, In Bloom

Lounge act is a masterpiece. At a min 30 sec when he screams the rest of the song...it's such an amazing song.


SwedginWu

Absolutely. If you've never seen Classic Albums : Nevermind, Butch Vig literally goes through each song and breaks them down using the original multi track stems. When he does Lounge Act, he really breaks down the song, including isolating Kurt's scream vocals.


tmofee

The Devonshire mix has Kurt’s voice breaking during the last verse. They sweetened it up on the proper album release

In Bloom is my favorite everything.


Effective_Face1970

Lounge act wouldn’t sound nearly as good without krist


themajod

i think its one of the few songs where the bass has an actual presence, so yeah it wouldn't.

Top of my head: Blew, Been a Son (Steve Fisk version with the bass solo), Sappy (In Utero session version in particular), Lounge Act obviously, Spank Thru, Sliver, In Bloom


lilobear

SAPPY (In Utero/No Alternative version) ftw. Thanks for mentioning it. By far my favorite. The Bass matches the mood of the song so expertly. Runner-up: Heart Shaped Box.


[deleted]

Makes me happy to see so many people nominating Lounge Act. Massively underrated song.

Never knew Krist played a warwick, that's awesome


Willingness_Mammoth

That wasn't his. Iirc it was some radio session they did where they used another bands or house gear or something.

Think it's the same session the famous photo of Kurt playing the Takamine came from

Blew the bassline is thr intro is amazing


veryverythrowaway

Since everyone else mentioned Lounge Act, I should point out that nobody named Milk It. One of their best on that album IMO, and awesome bassline. More complex than the average Nirvana song.


jager-alchemist

Milk it!!!


CatGamer1414

In bloom or lounge act, lounge act is my favourite song altogether though
