Having been a fan of Bleach, I was totally looking forward to the release of Nevermind. I worked at my college radio station so my friend and I got a hold of an advance copy of the disc. Back at his room we put it on and were completely floored. It sounded like a different band than the one on Bleach. Incredible melodies. Huge drums and guitars. Even bigger hooks. It was seriously chill inducing. Somehow, it was like nothing we had heard before. Even just the way Kurt sang the word "Yeah!" blew us away. We sat there staring at each other with mouths agape. The next day I remember walking into the common area where fellow students were dining and doing homework, carrying the disc and telling everyone I knew, "These guys are going to be huge!" Not sure if I totally believed it and I obviously had no idea HOW huge. I can't overstate how important this album has been to me.
