HiOriginally intended as a stopgap record following the massive success of Nirvana's Nevermind, the archival Incesticide album has taken on an added significance in light of subsequent events. Consisting of outtakes, demos, non-album singles, and live BBC sessions, it's a fascinating if less-than-truly essential listening experience. Highlights include the rip-roaring childhood memoir "Sliver" and its caustic companion (from a pre-Nevermind single) "Dive." There's also a brilliant cover of the Vaselines' "Molly's Lips."

"A rarities compilation Incesticide certainly isn't Nirvana's best but it still has a charm about it. This feels more like a punk album and Nirvana just seems like their having some good fun here.
Favorite song on the album:
Molly's Lips

"I prefer this collection of b-sides over the Nirvana albums it fell between, even if it is a little uneven. This is possibly the only album where it sounds like Nirvana was having fun.
Favorite song: "Hairspray Queen"
