‘Nevermind’ is the second studio album by Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991

Despite not being an initial success, by January 1992, ‘Nevermind’ had replaced Michael Jackson's album 'Dangerous' at number one on the Billboard charts.

Rolling Stone magazine gave the album four out of five stars; reviewer Ira Robbins wrote, "If Nirvana isn't onto anything altogether new, Nevermind does possess the songs, character and confident spirit to be much more than a reformulation of college radio's high-octane hits.’’

Produced by Butch Vig, ‘Nevermind’ was the group's first release on DGC Records.

‘Nevermind’ has now sold sold over 30 million copies worldwide

The ‘Nevermind’ album cover shows a baby swimming toward a US dollar bill on a fishhook. According to Cobain, he came up with the idea while watching a television program on water births with Dave Grohl.

Concerns were raised over the image of the babies penis on the cover by the band’s label. Cobain made it clear that the only compromise he would accept was a sticker covering the penis that would say, "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."

Many of the songs written for ‘Nevermind’ were about Cobain's dysfunctional relationship with Tobi Vail. Cobain said in an interview with Musician that "some of my very personal experiences, like breaking up with girlfriends and having bad relationships, feeling that death void that the person in the song is feeling–very lonely, sick."

The back cover of the album features a photograph of a rubber monkey in front of a collage created by Cobain.

Kurt Cobain cited the Pixies as a main influence on the album for their use of loud/quiet song dynamics. Along with R.E.M. and The Smithereens.
