There’s just a couple of albums that help shape one’s musical taste. In my case Korn and Limp Bizkit’s first albums were two of them for me. Luckily good taste prevailed in the end. Nirvana’s “Bleach” was another one which was already a far better choice. Unfortunately I once had to sell my copy of the album when I needed money to go to some festival or whatever and never got round to picking up a new copy. Count on Sub Pop to provide me with another one though.

It’s been exactly 20 years since the album first came out which is why they have now released a fancy anniversary edition that comes with a remastered version of the album along with the recording of a show the band played at Portland’s Pine Street Theatre and a booklet full of previously unpublished photos.

If you already own the album and are not a diehard fan, there’s no real reason to pick this one up. If you’ve never heard of this album before (who the hell are you?), this would be a great opportunity to get to know a semi-classic album.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
