Great point...

And, I guess I agree with you regarding the first and second halves of the album sounding different. All the singles were on side-1, and it definitely has a more glossy and polished sound to it, as you point out.

I guess what I meant was that the song structures (rather than the sound) are pretty consistent throughout the whole album, which I think they are. Side-2 just doesn't have the gloss that Side-1 has.

It kind of reminds me of "Appetite for Destruction" in terms of album halves. The first half of Appetite has "Jungle," "Nightrain," "Brownstone," and "Paradise City." All the singles, with the exception of "Child," which was on the second side. Side-2 of "Appetite" has a different feel to it (just like "Nevermind"), but the song structures are pretty much the same, and I've actually grown to like side-2 of "Appetite" better than side-1.
