Aneurysm - The Unofficial Nirvana Homepage

Reviewed on November 8, 1998 @ 8:20 PM EST

There are times in our lives when we make decisions. Well, we make decisions everyday don't we? However there are some decisions that affect the whole day, and in some cases, your life. Life-effecting decisions do not apply to a webpage, for the most part. But the decision as to visit a page takes up a lot of time. Sometimes, people become a little less than happy when they can't find "the right page."

Graphics

Certainly the nicest out of all graphics. This page would have done fine a year ago, considering the graphics. Today, however, considering the advancements in HTML codes, it could do a little better. Yet graphics are not everything, just like looks are not. What you will see in this page regarding graphics is something like a Carolina blue color. Notice the way it has just a few areas, and it seems to advertise those areas in so many ways. For instance, the frames, the image map, and then just the hyperlinks.

Information

• Lyrics - Not divided up by albums, you get a straight-in-your-face list of the songs. The cover songs are itailicized, which is a nice way of doing it. As for most lyrics section, your never going to see anything new. My impression is that it has copied the lyrics (without credit) from Smiley's page.

• Tabs - Unlike the lyrics, the tabs are not set up in the same manner, and it should be important in setting up your page in a certain way. People must be accustomed to your settings. In this case, you click on the image of the album and it will take you to a list and from there, you make your selections.

Multimedia

• Pictures - It gives you two options: text or thumbnails. There are several sections: B/W pictures, Live pictures, Group pictures, and album covers. All in all, 51 pictures.

• MIDI - Midi files are not my favorite kind of format, but I'm not going to spoil anything for those who like it. It has 12 songs for your enjoyment.

Miscellaneous

What's included in the "other" section:

• Biography - Self exlamatory. Just gives several paragraphs on the history of the band.

• Discography - Contains information about the songs, singles, albums and more.

• Kurt's suicide note

• Songlist

• The Meaning of Songs

• Krist's posts to alt.music.nirvana

• Kurt's Equipment FAQ

• The Story of "Polly"

• Liner notes in Incestice and Wishkah

• Nirvana font

Conclusion

Not too good. Not too bad. Considering that there are many other pages out there that do a well..better job and presents more material, I can't help to wish that this page would put in more effort into it. I suppose it goes along with the webmaster's decision. Just like it is your decision to visit that page or not. You see, we all make decisions, whether we like it or not.
