Bleach (album)

Most of the songs feature themes based on life in Aberdeen, Washington, a small, working class town where songwriter Kurt Cobain grew up. The album features a more heavy metal influenced sound than their later recordings.

"About A Girl" features the quiet/loud dynamic for which Nirvana would become known.
