Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana by Michael Azerrad "From their early days in rural Aberdeen, Washington, to their ascent through the indie rock scene, to their major-label signing and the explosive success of "Nevermind," Come As You Are tells the whole Nirvana story, close up and firsthand. In Come As You Are, Nirvana tells all: about the ongoing allegations of heroin use that have been played out in the press for more than a year; about the soul-crushing pressures of sudden success; about their unasked-for roll as spokesmen for a generation; and about the controversy surrounding the release of their much-anticipated new album. "The book also features close analysis of every song on each of the bands three studio albums, a comprehensive discography, and more than one hundred rare and never-before-seen photographs, posters, and original lyrics sheets. By far the most intimate look yet at this most elusive of bands, Come As You Are provides a unique insight into the inner workings of one of the most significant popular music groups to emerge in years."
