I always thought it was a representation of what someone with anorexia ‘sees’ in the mirror.

With that comes the fragility, themes of repugnant beauty and what have you that the album covers ten fold.

So yeah basically what demo said.

Never did try this one, but the amount of quality folks who love it suggest I ought to.

You really should, it’s incredible. It’s a pretty intense listen though, so it’s not really intended for casual listening

This album and Everything Must Go have me so thoroughly hooked that I might do a discog-check-run sometime soon; probably gonna check the debut next, seeing as the 30-year anniversary was last week.



Is the original mix sold in the US these days? I need a physical copy

"Is the original mix sold in the US these days? I need a physical copy"



I think it'd only be attainable through deluxe reissues. Ironically, the OG CDs with the US mix were only sold in Canada. Iirc the cancellation of the US release coincided with cancellation of what would've been their first US tour due to Richey's disappearance

I did cop a vinyl (picture disc!) and CD copy of this online, as well as a CD of Everything Must Go - excited to jam them :D

In Utero was huge at the time. Even if the subject matter was often more tabboo, it still had all the right ingredients to be big in the States
