Customer Reviews Even in His Youth I grew up listening to the mellower end of alternative (Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Cure, etc. I have never been a Nirvana fan, so this is not a bias review. ) so the "Nevermind" album never did anything for me. My sister bought this single back in 91, and after I heard the b-side "Even in His Youth" I was blown away and had to own it. It's a heavy rocker with a catchy melody. The rest of the songs on the disc are disposable. Get this single for "Even in His Youth". You won't be disappointed. Even in his youth + Smells like teen spirit + Aneurysm = THE BEST This CD contains 4 of THE BEST Nirvana songs, they are pure musical genius. Let me start off by saying, I am a die-hard Nirvana fan like most of you (you must be if your looking at their singles). I have run across these songs and they are, dare I say, my favorite Nirvana songs. To find that they are all on one single, wow. Every day I regret being only 352 days old when this CD came out. I was born 10 or 15 years too late. If you are tinking of buying this, JUST DO IT! You can only find "Even In His Youth" on the Hormoaning EP from Australia for $10 and up, IF YOU'RE LUCKY. Aneurysm, well, it simply OWNS. You'll see what I mean when you buy it, and you know you will buy it. Because I said so. if he didn't have a gun....how did he shoot himself? If it wasn't for Cobain's suicide, no one would care about Nirvana today. If this is not THE most over rated CD ever, then it is certainly a contender for the title. But, just like Jim Morrison has kept the Doors on the "cult following" list, Cobain's death will keep everyone wanna-be emo child wistful of shooting themselves. As for the music, I could only say that shooting yourself doesn't make someone a "great writer" or a "great musician" and Nirvana proves this though and though. On this particular CD, Cobain mumbles his way though at least 1/3 of the lyrics while making absolutely no sense during the other 2/3 that are intelligible. In one particular song he outright lies when he sings the lyrics "no, I don't have a gun". . . and I think we all know now that he in fact did have a gun. . .
