I think that In Utero is one of Nirvanas greatest albums close after Bleach and Unplugged. The album was meant to be different than Nevermind and I guess it served its purpose-it split the real Nirvana fans from the commercial fans.

For those of you who really like Nirvana, especially the raw side of them, I really recommend you go get "With the Lights Out". The 3 cd, 1 dvd set shows many of the b-side and early recordings of songs that are not out anywhere else. The dvd shows the early days of them playing in Krist's mom's house, and many early live performances. And to add to the genre controversy, in the video they called themselves a punk band, and that is because grunge did not exist at the time, they didn't know what to call themselves, and punk was the closest thing.

you missed the mark. Songs like tourrets and very ape are great. In very Ape they go for a type of urgent and unsettled feeling and its pulled off by the interlude thing after he says i'm very ape not very nice. And tourrets is just punk-rock noise goodness. He says words. And here they are. Moderate Rock:then some feedback
May day, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart
We all want something fair, my heart
Says hey five times

Out of town, out of sight, is my heart
Queen of lies, today, my heart
One more on the phone, my heart
One more at the door of my heart
Come on. Are you even a Nirvana fan?

This is a good album by a good band, but not a great album. I'm a Nirvana junkie. I used to have about 35 bootlegs and 10 videos. I just regret that I never saw them in concert. The thing is that Nirvana is simultaneously extremely average and extremely remarkable. Usually people pretentiously pass off their music and whisper supposedly profound lines, or scream as if more volume will make the song have more emotion. Kurt just laid it out there and sang. There is no pretense, just rock and roll. The music comes like a surprise blow to the stomach. And this is even with meaningless lyrics, mind you. The reason why Nirvana is great is not because of their music as much as because Kurt attracts sympathy and empathy. Even when he fails at articulately expressing emotions, you know what he means and feel what he feels.

I always wonder what it would have been like if Kurt hadn't committed suicide. It seems as though their upcoming music might have been more interesting and creative. I would love to have seen Nirvana use the cello more, and experiment with other instruments. Most radio fans would probably have write them off and they would have moved back underground. Kurt would likely appear on shows like "where are they now" instead of on annual MTV specials memorializing fallen artists. It's kind of sad that everyone focuses on him because there are many figures out there that go unrecognized, and deserve it. Also, this is exactly the attention that Kurt was dying (ooh, I made a funny!) to escape. I'm sure this is what Kurt would say if he were alive today, all while plugging some band with his t-shirt and talking about how entirely unremarkable his music was. This honesty is exactly why fans loved him. In fact, I would argue that Kurt was as much of (if not more than) a music fan as he was a musician. Ironically, people really misunderstood the guy. He liked good music. He aspired to play good music. He had self-esteem issues, didn't like his music, and didn't think that you should either. He felt unworthy of the attention. Well enough about Kurt for now. People discuss him entirely too much anyway, especially when they have no idea who they're talking about.

Anyway, that brings me to this album. Out of all of Nirvana's albums, this was the most pretentious. Having been fed up with the media, Kurt decided to whine and babble. Rather than just playing rock music, Kurt decided to try to inject messages into his songs. This was a far more personal album than Nevermind, and it was much better produced. I think it is a more coherent effort as well. the fact is, however, that there would be no In Utero without Nevermind. I personally prefer this over Nevermind. I'd say it's maybe a 4/5 album, a B. It surpasses the record industry standard overall, but there is nothing inherently remarkable about this album. Granted, there is nothing inherently remarkable about most albums, but Nirvana gets a lot of recognition. Their music was somewhat above average, but it managed to strike a chord (had to throw that cliche in) with the audience, myself included. Nirvana is the "Mary" of rock 'n roll bands. There's something mystical about them (or Kurt) that people seem to love, but don't understand. To those who feel it, Nirvana gets promptly overrated. To those who don't, they get dismissed as talentless hacks who do not belong in music. In Utero is not a bad album, and it is not a great album. It is a good solid album that receives entirely too much hype from the people whose opinions it seemingly never ceases to polarize.

I love In Utero; my favorite Nirvana album (one of my favorite albums ever). Not a bad song in it.
