la interzona #33: el cuarto oscuro

With the Lights Out (Nirvana, 2004) [RECOPILATORIO]

GRUNGE. Entre el desperdicio y lo sublime, entre el interés morboso y el ansia documental. En algún punto habría que situar esta exhumación torrencial de los restos de los de Seattle. Muchas canciones inéditas, algunas incluso merecerían haber sido incluidas en un disco; un Cobain multifacetado, de ¿amante/parodiador? del folk a cantautor punk acústico, sulfúrico o volcánico. Realmente hay carne aquí, aunque algunas cosas le sonrojarían (quizá por eso no se editaron en su momento). No sé si me explico, pero a veces es mejor tapar las vergüenzas. Es lo que tiene el endiosamiento, aunque claro, ya no va a poder quejarse, ¿verdad, Courtney?. Aún así, una vez más, las canciones vencen, aunque solo sea a ratos (por cierto, también vence la caja registradora de los promotores de la idea). Mejor te haces un cd con lo mejor. Y lo que sobra, pues a olvidarlo.
