and no, it would still be cared about as a document of the early Seattle grunge scene. The album got rave reviews upon it's release, even pre-success. It had little impact outside of the underground at the time, but it still did well enough for an unknown band upon it's release, and got great reviews as well.

"Negative Creep" is a good song, but so is "Love Buzz", Big Cheese", "About a Girl", "Blew", "Floyd the Barber" and "Mr. Mustache"

It sold more in the mainstream when "Nevermind" was a hit, but it was cared about by those who knew it in the underground and local scene when it came out as well.
