About

Kurt Cobain's tragic suicide so early in what could have been a long, brilliant career forced everyone involved with Nirvana to tread carefully on the band’s legacy. Infighting among the remaining band members and Cobain’s estate further stalled progress. Live albums appeared, but there was little else in terms of new Cobain music between 1994 and 2002. In 2004—a decade after his death—the wheels finally cranked out the expansive box set <i>With the Lights Out</i>, containing rare b-sides, live performances, demos, and even rougher rehearsal recordings. Considering Nirvana only released three official studio albums and a set of outtakes during its existence, the amount of previously unreleased material was much smaller than bands with more years to reference. Many brilliant moments here center on Cobain’s acoustic demos. The set is essentially chronological, starting with the <i>Bleach</i> era, following through to the <i>Nevermind</i> period and finishing with songs from the <i>In Utero</i> sessions. Serious fans <i>need</i> this collection, for in many ways it provides the most comprehensive and true view of the band.
