  1. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    Its importance is based on what came after, but twenty years later, Bleach still has my affection as not only a major relic of my past but as a prelude to the last time pop music had a soul

  2. 8.5 |   Pitchfork

    ...rather than unfairly compare it to the platinum sheen of sophomore release Nevermind, Bleach is best appreciated today as a snapshot of a specific time and place, of a Seattle scene bubbling up before it turned into a media adjective

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    To anyone who already owns Bleach, and doesn’t necessarily want to have to buy this reissue, you can achieve the same (and better) results by simply turning up your amp the next time you listen to this important record

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

  9. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    Bleach may not be their finest, but it’s certainly one of their most significant releases – the hallmark of a band who became legendary, and whose records endure, even 20 years on

  10. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    Endino's ability to realise that tinkering ought to be kept to a minimum when handed a gravelly, grimy rumble like Bleach is a big factor in the album's success as a statement of where Nirvana were 'at'

  11. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    At the end of the day, Bleach is still the weakest of the band’s full-length albums, but there’s enough good stuff to merit a spin
