Incesticide is not a real album. it was released by Geffen to cash in on the nevermind craze, compiling b-sides, alt-takes and already released material (the Dive single for example)


my one problem with Incesticide is the single ugliest stupidest cover art of the grunge era. that shit just sucks.

cover art by "Kurdt Kobain" ... the word "CUNT" is purposely inserted into the elongated limbs of the squatting figure. I like the mailbox letters. The artist's maquette clinging to the figure's shoulder is a nice touch as well, although the baby doll face/mask is disturbing.

For me it goes In Utero (most advanced Nirvana, yet more abrasive than ever) > Nevermind (good songs) > Bleach (good songs, a bit too metal flavored for my taste though) > Incesticide (there was a lot of good shit on their like Aneurysm and such, but this is also the album with songs like Dive, Hairspray Queen, and Aerozeppelin, the latter two are abrasive but juvenile)

i don't see the word cunt

I just think it's ugly as hell. good thing kurt was not a visual artist.

i think it's ugly too. and scary

and bleach metal? Hmm. the definition of metal has been reworked over the years I guess.

i always liked the cover, if only because i truly and honestly don't get it. there's something about the puke green background that just fits. though the feel of the front cover doesn't even remotely fit with the rubber ducky on the back . . . maybe that was intentional.

i wish my copy weren't shot. aero zeppelin, which happens to be my favorite nirvana song, skips like a maniac.

Not surprising when you can't spell properly either.

Well, it isn't metal, just a little "crossover" I guess.

Plus a handful of the songs were recordings with thier old drummer from "Bleach" NOT Dave Grohl, they did make a music video for "Sliver" though, that 120 Minutes played.

Now I remember why I married you. Best thing I've read all day.

I quite like the cover, I never really noticed how "cunt" was worked into it, very clever of him .. and the "disturbingness" of it is why I like it, but maybe only because I enjoy things like that~

Another reason it didn't hit the mainstream .. read the fucking title "Incesticide"

nirvana's album covers are the worst thing about them

bleach it's probably their best cover

In order of covers~

In Utero > Incesticide > Bleach > Nevermind > Unplugged > Wishkah

(Am I forgetting any??)

you forgot the greatest hits album and the box set, and sampler to the box set

Well those don't count because they're compilations~

and ugly as hell

Don't judge an album by it's cover~

So is incesticide but you included that...
