how come Nirvana's nevermind and inutero did so good, but incesticide got no attention from the mainstream? i mean, there are sooo many good songs on incesticide! didn't incesticide get released after nevermind? right? i love incesticide! it's great!

They didn't finance Incesticide as much because it wasn't a cash movement, but more for the band's credibility, so it didn't hit the mainstream as hard

incesticide did not have radio friendly songs..
great album, but not about mainstream, more the entire transition from bleach to nevermind.. nirvana did not have sales figures as motivation for an album.. they had beautiful melodies, and noise angst at the same time.. shallow pop lovers chose to embrace the melodies, and disregard the rest.. incesticide suffered from that...

incesticide has weird "staying power" tho', it's such a surprise when you first hear it; to find how many odds and ends are really worth hearing - way better than the boxed set to showcase kurt/krist's spectrum of generalized insanity, edge, ingenuity. having sliver and Big Long Now on the same release achieves quite an effect

Well it could be good. There's tonnes of good mainstream bands, but for the most part, the media gives exposure to artists where they'll make money, and all these whiney teenagers like bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Fall Out Boy, Atreyu, Alexisonfire, etc... so that's what craps up the mainstream. |

yeah but it's kinda weird how it just jumped from nevermind to inutero. no one ever talks about incesticide being in there in the middle. soo weird. i like incesticide better than nevermind

I like nevermind better, but then again I haven't even heard half the tracks on Incesticide, so I really couldn't say. Nirvana's one of my fav's though ^_^. Downer's a really good song though!

I never really thought of Incesticide as being a real album. It's more like a transistional record with some B Sides and stuff.

i love incesticide..
and i love nevermind and in utero.. i admire bleach too.. nirvana was basically a counter-culture indie band that never meant to appeal to the mainstream.. but thanks to MTV and the rest of the money making machine, they spiralled out of control, and became the next big thing.. i think it was kurt's intention to show his musical reaction with incesticide - he didn't want to be a pop star, sharing the limelight with mc hammer and what have you.. so, they compiled the rarities and b-sides and their best screaming.. the mainstream would ignore it.. after they did the unplugged thing, citizens of earth chose to remember them as a semi-hippie acustic band.. the fans still relate to incestide.. that is the legacy..

Basically Incesticide was the best shit Nirvana ever released. Denying it is just unintelligent. It didn't get picked up by the mainstream because it wasn't a cash cow.

It's all about ANEURYSM. I just listened to Incesticide for the first time in years when I was drinking with some buddies a few weeks ago. It was fucking great.

mentally retarted people do not need to be scorned any further by comparing them to the assloving mainstream
