{"product_id":"nirvana-from-the-muddy-banks-of-the-wishkah-cd","title":"Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKurt Cobain's former bandmates Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl clearly had an agenda in compiling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the second of what will no doubt be a long line of posthumous Nirvana albums. Because of its somber, intense nature, the first post-Cobain release, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMTV Unplugged in New York\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was largely perceived as music for a wake--an impression reinforced by MTV's constant airings of the special in the days following Cobain's suicide. But that acoustic detour aside, the Nirvana live experience was always about displaying a lust for life--not a death wish--with all the energy the musicians could muster. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWishkah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers 16 songs spanning the band's career, all delivered in the loudest, most frenzied, and sometimes the sloppiest versions imaginable. In the opening \"Intro,\" a snippet of pre-show noise, Cobain screams his heart out in joyful contrast to the haunted screams on \"Where Did You Sleep Last Night.\" Then the group launches into \"School,\" which ends with the spirited chorus \"Don't be sad.\" Indeed, it's impossible to dwell on the maudlin when listening to these renditions of \"Smells Like Teen Spirit,\" \"Sliver,\" \"Heart-Shaped Box,\" and \"Negative Creep\"--they're too loud and too full of life. But while it should be applauded, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWishkah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e isn't the great lost Nirvana album--there are no unheard gems to add to the catalog--and in the end, it isn't nearly as essential as any of the band's studio albums--or even the downbeat but revelatory \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnplugged\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Jim Derogatis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAneurysm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmells Like Teen Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeen a Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpank Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScentless Apprentice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart Shaped Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegative Creep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTourette's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720642510520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geffen Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.1.96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nirvana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51475083493672,"sku":"504118","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/0155\/4472\/files\/489802.jpg?v=1772243553","url":"https:\/\/soldoutvinylrecords.com\/products\/nirvana-from-the-muddy-banks-of-the-wishkah-cd","provider":"soldoutvinylrecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
