    You can rly notice the double vocals, if I remember correctly he didnt wanna double the vocals on the tracks but his producer explained that this is how John Lennon would do it most of the time. And that made Kurt more accepting to it.

      He hated the production on this album, it was over produced and not raw sounding like he liked, while this sounds objectively better than bleach or in utero, the actuall sound on those 2 are far superior to, in kurts words, the 'squeaky' sound on this

      True. That’s why I don’t miss him. Because I just knew his music and talents and those are still with us. When he was alive most of us just watched him playing on tv and even if u went to a couple concerts there’s no way to miss him cause there wasn’t a personal relationship. I do miss my best friend who passed away a couple years ago but I don’t miss Kurt Cobain cause all that I knew from him was his music...and I still can listen to it or watch his videos .
