| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Nirvana: Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar); Jason Everman (guitar); Chris Novoselic (bass); Chad Channing (drums). |  | Additional personnel: Dale Crover (drums). |  | Recorded at Reciprocal Recording, Seattle, Washington. |  | Personnel: Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar); Jason Everman (guitar); Dale Crover, Chad Channing (drums). |  | Recording information: Reciprocal Recording, Seattle, WA. |  | Photographers: Tracy Marander; Charles Peterson . |  | Unknown Contributor Role: Jane Higgins. |  | With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining literary flair with a direct, visceral quality that makes him a viable candidate for the John-Lennon-of-Gen X award. |  | Nirvana's debut album showcases what sounds more like a force of nature than a rock band. The unrelenting fervor with which the group delivers these 13 tunes is almost frightening. There is also a strong melodic flair that leavens the ferocity occasionally, hinting at the scope of Cobain's compositional talents. "Love Buzz" and "About A Girl" show off enough pop smarts to make it clear that as strong as BLEACH is, Cobain's hiding even more tricks up his sleeve. | Producer: Jack Endino | Engineer: Jack Endino |

| | Professional Reviews | | Spin (p.82) - "BLEACH is truer to 'grunge' than what followed, with bratty nihilism and sludgy dynamics dominating." |
