In Utero and Bleach are both better. I might be more likely to listen to Incesticide at this point.

zak’s right, I always check your soundoffs dedex, but this one stands out

Album Rating: 4.5

but it didn't obliterate the glossy, excess-laden landscape of '80s rock overnight. that stuff was still around

Album Rating: 5.0

Didn’t last though, these and ‘Grunge’ really were the death knell for all that

Album Rating: 4.6 | Sound Off

yeah the overnight stuff was a figure of speech but i'd figure peepz would understand that music genres do not vanish into thin air because of one album - but yeah as zakky said the tides shifted hard



(merci asterix)

Not literally, did it do that, but the tide shift was immediate and very impactful. Likely something was going to give eventually, they just needed a catalyst, and what a catalyst this was.

It's really weird seeing people say Bleach is better, like that feels so contrarian for the sake of it. Bleach has a few good songs but overall it sounds like a band figuring out what they're good at

Bleach is cool but there's no way it's better than this

Album Rating: 5.0

This was new and unbelievably exciting. The change was palpable.



In Utero is the best album but it comes nowhere near the dynamic shift this album was responsible for directly as a result of the tunes that were recorded for the thing.



1992 was a life changer, these were the band I had been looking for and were playing music I had never heard before because the reality was it hadn’t existed beforehand.



Bleach as good as it was/is does sound like a remnant.

This was as close as I was going to get to the Nevermind the Bollocks impact that the older brothers/cousins/young uncles banged on about when I was young.

It’s still indescribable tbh.

Album Rating: 4.0

Was too young to realise what stuff was happening in 92 but in 2025 In Utero is my least favourite Nirvana by some margin. I remember buying it when all I was listening to was Nirvana as a teen and still remember the disappointment.

Like yeah Nevermind has double or even triple guitar tracks and sounds super polished, but if I want raw I go pre-Nevermind. In Utero sounds raw but also a bit forced innit. Rape Me is one of their worst songs. Highlights would be All Aplogies, RFUS, and the live versions of Scentless and Milk It



These days I'll spin this one for the B-side (the run from Territorial to Something is 5/5), Incesticide, Bleach, and the early 90s session tracks like Curmudgeon, Token, or Guilt. And All Apologies which was a fine, fine way to end their career

Prior to In Utero I bought Heart Shaped Box on single and absolutely loved it.

The build up to In Utero being released was possibly the most excited I’ve ever been for a musical release (PJ vs is up there as well)

Bought it on the day it came out and was surprised at what I was listening to, it was raw, dirty, roughed up and loud as fuck.

I loved it but went straight back to this. This was THE album.



Rape me is all about the symbolism but yeah it’s a bit throwaway

Unit Shifter has been my fave Nirvana song for over thirty years.

I liked In Utero the most tbh, think it's the album that holds up the best the older it gets

Man, Bleach has fucking riffs. I don’t know what to tell you.
