In short, I would recommend this to people who already own Nevermind and In Utero, and are looking to gain further insight into the band. In fact, "Curmudegon" heavily foreshadows the sound of In Utero. "Curmudegon" is a demo recorded in the spring of '92, and its raw quality sounds quite unlike anything on Nevermind ("Lithium" included). The live "Been a Son" is represented in fine form here, and is taken from a great show (the 10/31/91 Seattle homecoming show, which happens to be one of my favorites ). Unlike what some people have said, I think the two b-sides are awesome. I like the fact that it has these lyrics I find them insightful. One of the big selling points of this single is the fact that it includes all of the lyrics on Nevermind. However, it is one of their best, and I for one, love this song, becuase it is one of the best representations of Nirvana's essence. The song "Lithium" is probably one of the most familiar Nirvana songs of all time, even to casual listeners.
