I once did a review of In Utero, but I realized it was so crappy I took it away. Let's try again.
Yeah, so In Utero is the third (if you count Incesticide, fourth) and final studio album by my favourite band Nirvana. This record is easily compared to Nevermind, and when I first heard this, I don't understand why (even though I compare this album to Nevermind or Bleach many times). ... read more
Description:In Utero is the third and final studio album by the American grunge band Nirvana, released on September 13, 1993, on DGC Records.

Nirvana intended the record to diverge significantly from the polished production of its previous album, Nevermind (1991). To capture a more abrasive and natural sound, the group hired producer Steve Albini to record In Utero during a two-week period in February 1993 at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. The music was recorded quickly with few studio embellishments, and the song lyrics and album packaging incorporated medical imagery that conveyed frontman Kurt Cobain's outlook on his publicized personal life and his band's newfound fame.
Soon after recording was completed, rumors circulated in the press that DGC might not release the album in its original state, as the record label felt that the result was not commercially viable. Although Nirvana publicly denied the statements, the group was not fully satisfied with the sound Albini had captured. Albini declined to alter the album further, and ultimately the band hired Scott Litt to make minor changes to the album's sound and remix the singles "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies".
Upon release, In Utero entered the Billboard 200 chart at number one and received critical acclaim as a drastic departure from Nevermind. The record has been certified five times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold over four million copies in the United States alone.... (more)(less)

"I loved what Nirvana did with this one, they stripped all the Pop music out and made one hell of a grunge album. It felt like they just gave a middle finger to anything mainstream. Louder, angrier and completely different than Nevermind, this is another must-own for anyone who loves music.
Favorite song on the album:
Rape Me

"Uskomatonta, mutta pidin tästäkin. Olen aina pitänyt Grungesta, koska 90-luvulla se oli kova juttu. Nirvana oli tuolloin yksi lemppareistani, mutta olen pikkuisen menettänyt kosketusta bändiin. In Utero oli kuitenkin sen verta raivokasta tunteiden purkua, että pystyin jotenkin hyvin samaistumaan levyn tunnelmiin matkalla töihin."
