Reviews (page 8 of 15)
Already listened to before and I wish I had this as the next album instead of FGTH.
Really good album. Heart Shaped Box and Dumb are two excellent songs
I love this album
Day378 - the anticipation for this album was crazy and it mostly lived up to all the hype
Kurt Cobain.
I was anticipating Nirvana’s 2nd album Nevermind making this list, and maybe it did, I’ve never listened to In Utero all the way through. What a vibe shift. The production quality feels cleaner, I’d argue this is more hard rock than grunge but not in a “gone mainstream” sense. Really enjoyable listen.
Great album. Not my favorite from Nirvana
Not quite as good as Nevermind but still 4.5 stars
It's difficult to overstate how important this album is. It's obviously iconic but it changed the grunge genre and the music landscape as a whole. That being said, it's not quite my taste. It's an incredible piece of work, but in terms of listening to it on my own volition, it's not something I gravitate toward. It's an abrasive album, but it's incredible.
Better than expected, I just wish I felt OK saying the names of some or my favourite songs on here
Chill para una tarde de verano
Klassiker
A rawer and angrier album than Nevermind, almost like a rejection of that album’s success. I can’t say I enjoy it quite as much, but I do appreciate its darker tone and rawer emotions. Strong production and dynamics, and of course, Cobain’s ear for melody is still here and strong ever. Best song: Heart-Shaped Box
I was familiar with some of the songs from the MTV album which made it easier to get into this album. Pretty good, but an insignificant number of songs that were too abrasive for my liking. Interesting to read that they got the guy who produced Surfer Rosa for this. Low 4.
Nostalgic
At least I got a good album today. The songs were all great, no duds. Not good enough for a 5 star rating, but still awesome. It's a shame that "In Utero" is Nirvana's last album. I'm still yet to listen to "Bleach". 4 stars for "In Utero".
Probably my least-favorite proper full-length by Nirvana but still lots to like here. They knew what they were doing. Even if they didn't.
It's taken me a long time to admit it, but this is a great album. The success of Nevermind pushed me away from Nirvana pretty quickly and despite knowing the radio hits from this album I never really spent time listening to it as a whole. I totally get why people regard it so highly now.
Nirvana - In Utero Near perfect album that Nirvana has made. What an album to finish a short yet impactful catalogue that this band had in the past. From start to finish, this album goes really hard and it shows the strenghts that the band had, it's a shame that they stopped making music, imagine the great albums we could've gotten later on. This album is great! R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 1.- Serve the Servants = 10/10 2.- Scentless Apprentice = 9/10 3.- Heart-Shaped Box = 10/10 4.- Rape Me = 9/10 5.- Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle = 8/10 6.- Dumb = 9/10 7.- Very Ape = 8/10 8.- Milk It = 8/10 9.- Pennyroyal Tea = 10/10 10.- Radio Friendly Unit Shifter = 8/10 11.- tourette's = 8/10 12.- All Apologies = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10
4.25
This is the best of it's genre and an extremely important album to boot. It's style, sound, and substance was huge, managing to enjoy mainstream success while also resonating with music nerds of the day (and today). To top it all off, it managed to do this while being the follow-up to the darling Nevermind, and it still rocks. 4⭐️
Pretty good, attractive, even for an album composed of a lot of aggressive riffs and a lot of shouting. Knows what it's trying to do. Nothing really stood out for me as great though. My biggest problem with it is that it feels like it's trying to conclude a few times, and even with it's unorthodox feeling, it's throwing me off too much.
I have a strange relationship with Nirvana, because I don't think that I 'like' the band, and yet they have a good dozen songs I could listen to on repeat all day every day. 'Heart-Shaped Box' is absolutely one of the best songs I've ever heard, though not the only one here worth mentioning. 'Dumb' and 'All Apologies' are also certified classics. It's a great listen all around, but it could stand to be a song or two shorter by the end of it.
Of the big 4 grunge groups (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden), Nirvana is solidly at the third rung, mainly due to their overwhelming presence. I have heard the front half of Nevermind a countless number of times, and will never be fervent in wanting to go back to it as long as I live. I never gave In Utero a full shot, however. I knew Heart Shaped Box, Rape Me, and All Apologies, as those are the big songs from it, but I never gave the full album a listen until now. HSB is in a similar spot to Smells Like Teen Spirit and the other hits from Nevermind, where I'm fully exhausted on the track, but the other songs I mentioned are still quite solid to my ears. I also got a kick out of Very Ape, Serve the Servants, and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, but it all still remains a peg below Soundgarden and especially Alice in Chains. I know comparing like this is kind of cringe, but they're all from the same scene and it makes the most sense to me to draw similarities. I may get more into In Utero eventually, it's certainly got a better outlook than Nevermind, but as of now I'm not over the moon.
Feels like they were just getting started :( it’s a great album nonetheless. Excellent and abrasive, Kurt sounds strained on some of the songs, and it suits the album’s sound well. Wish we could’ve gotten more
Better than Nevermind
Great. 4.5
Definitely less accessible than Nevermind, it's even throatier and the vocals get closer to screamer stuff on a couple of the tracks. The music is a bit less polished, too, and I think it loses a little bit because of that? Don't think that you can say that Nevermind was overpolished in anyway, so this falls a bit short of that; there's also nothing as catchy as Come As You Are or Lithium, let alone Smells Like Teen Spirit. Squeaks a 4.
Love that Nirvana got to make the album they wanted, not the album the studio wanted, and shoutout the band for having the balls to land that ship. Not all noise needs a purpose.
So much worse than Nevermind in my books. But it still has a lot of highlights. Fave Tracks: Heart-Shaped Box, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, All Apologies 3.5/5
Some great songs, some mediocre songs. I think the idea of departing from Nevermind was a good idea but just didn't quite come together right. Still a decent album 3.5*
love this one; super raw and powerful. a perfect follow-up to the polish of their previous album. the more i relisten to it, the more gems there are to find :D
I like this more than Nevermind. Tourette's is my favorite Nirvana song.
Grunge isn’t necessarily my favorite but growing up in Seattle you have to like Nirvana and this had some of my favorites “Heart Shaped Box” and “Pennyroyal Tea”
really solid album, i like the sound
Good but screaming
My teenage angst has been stirred.
Feels like they were just getting started. Kurt had an ear for melodies and my favorites are the "softer" tracks like Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, and All Apologies
Hey! Wait! I got a new complain!
Great album; It has real songs and fine vocals from Kurt. One of the few noteworthy albums in the 1990s. It has great energy but doesn't let this compromise the flow and clarity of the songs although 'Scentless Apprentice' gets close to losing it! ... but then 'Heart Shaped Box' brings it back to a more disciplined and melodic state (just because its loud dosn't mean it isn't disciplined). Too many of the songs have a very similar structure/tempo for my liking though.
Everything they make is gold. Great album.
I don't think this is a perfect record and never did, but it is very good, and it had a large impact on so many people. At the time, I was more into Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam and some other bands in the scene, and while I liked In Utero, it wasn't my favorite of the genre. Listening to it, now, I still see the brilliance in so many of the songs, but, again, it's not some perfect album or something that I think completely reinvents the wheel. But it is very good rock and roll that did push some boundaries and expanded Nirvana's and the grunge style.
Don't listen anymore but would still recommend teens listen to this.
For some reason I had it in my head that all Nirvana's hits came from "Nevermind" but obviously that was incorrect. Lots of good stuff here from one of the seminal bands of the 90's. 3.9
pretty cool
Remember on Lost when Jack was having another breakdown and drove around blaring Scentless Apprentice? Love that!
I respect Nirvana, and will give all the accolades they deserve. This is not my sound, and I will never choose to go back to it. But you can’t deny there is something great about what they were doing.
Great band
I’ve always been a big fam of this album. It’s somehow darker and funnier than Nevermind. I enjoyed going back and listening to this one again, probably haven’t played the entire album in 15-20 years. Bleach is probably my favorite Nirvana album, but this one holds up well for being 30+ years old.
I’ve found over the years since this came out that I respect it more and more. Setting out to make an album you (the band) want to make instead of the album the record label wants (nevermind II !) takes some determination. Steve Albini was the right choice - he wasn’t going to bully or change the band at the urging of the suits (or for his own tastes). Sure there was some compromise for singles edits and what not. But, this is Nirvana 2.0 and if you don’t like it, fuck off and go listen to a Warrant album instead. Now, is this the Nirvana album I’m going to gravitate toward? Usually not, it’s still nevermind. However, there’s an amazing album here and I need to not forget that. Teenage angst to all in all is all we are. A triumph indeed, I wish we’d had a few more opportunities to hear other chances this band might have taken.
This is still a good album! This album is also a good reminder of how much of the Nirvana sound, to me, is Dave Grohl’s drumming!
p711. 711. 4 stars. Well, he knew how to write a riff and tune. The lyrics need work though. Still yards ahead of the rest of the pack.
Weaker album than Unplugged or Nevermind, but still pretty good as an album. Heart-Shaped Box is awesome, I don't love the other hits on here (Rape Me, Dumb, All Apologies). Probably a 3.5.
flott lög. dálítið uppfyllingarefni.
loved this when i was 13
I wish i could eat your cancer when it turns black.
Nevermind never really did it for me, but I always loved this album.
it's a good album. All Apologies is a brilliant tune
Not as good as Nevermind but still great
It's only natural for a band to want to keep evolving their sound, especially after the massive success of a record such as "Nevermind", for example. In Nirvana's case, there was an obvious artistic choice to gear the sound and production more towards the abrasive side of things (i.e. the band's earlier releases). Enter producer Steve Albini, noted hater of the mainstream music industry, to help carry out this vision for the group. How do you follow up a record such as "Nevermind"? Capture the essence of the band, get personal, no frills. I will agree that each member of the band somehow sounds more present here. Albini liked to showcase each member & instrument in their purest form in his productions. That's prevalent here with Novoselic's bass, Grohl's drums, and Cobain's guitar playing & especially raw/vulnerable vocal delivery here. The singles here, while some of Nirvana's best, don't really represent the album's overall sound & production. It all makes for an interesting result, as I would argue that the rest of the album is not very radio-friendly. Not really a knock (though I'd consider a handful of these songs "duds") but rather an indication of the group's maturation into their sound. It's a shame that we never got to see what came next of Nirvana, but their legacy is still very apparent.
4.1 2x prefer "Nevermind" but still good
Nirvanas peak
I mean its nirvana
This is damn close to being better than, Nevermind. Certainly better than Bleach. The grittiness is there. The simple melodies with haunting lyrics. The Dave Grohl perfect drum track for each song. The way he goes from batter head to rim shot in Heart Shaped Box is genius. You can tell that their sound was getting to a master level. They don’t try and do anything outlandish outside of what and who they are, but they are getting really close to perfecting it with this album. Heart Shaped Box is an underrated song for these guys and All Apologies is such an acoustic classic. This is a 4.5 for me but since we don’t do half stars I’m giving it a 4.
It's hard to imagine just how big of an impact Nirvana had on music in the 90s. To the point that I genuinely got tired of hearing All Apologies multiple times every day for years. That said, it's still an enduring part of the American music landscape, as is Heart-Shaped Box, and to a lesser extent, Dumb and Pennyroyal Tea. The rest of the tracks on the album are, well, not quite as memorable or as enjoyable. But on the whole, the album is as genuine an experience as you can have.
Nirvana has mastered the ability to fill an album with emotion and raw feeling all while sounding like they are bored and wish they weren't there. They set the standard of grunge. Wonderful when played from start to finish.
4 out of 5, the best nirvana album
A classic
214/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
some big time nirvana classics: heart-shaped box, rape me, dumb and all apologies. also some def lesser stuff
This album seemed to pull back the ascension of Nirvana just a little bit in my opinion. Not commercially but developmentally. There are some bangers, some radio friendly hits and some songs that your mom and Dad would grope each other to. There is also noisy trash. It seems like as soon as the album starts to take off, it’s steered back toward the ground and then driven upwards again. I find that the deluxe version gives more flavor to the album as a whole. If you want to cut through the bullshit, ignore Scentless Apprentice Milk It Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Tourette’s …..then all is good Choice cut: Frances Farmer…
Uneven album. Some of the music is so raging that is barely music anymore. Some of it is awesome. It is definitely dated, but not in a bad way. That Angst and anger of the time is evident. I don’t love it as much as Nevermind, but it is definitely a good album.
It should be THE ALBUM, after all, its Nirvana. But its soooo noisy. 4 me mik
I would argue this as nirvanas best album
Great album, although I like Nevermind more.
At least Dave Grohls reputation remains untarnished to this day.
Much like sublime Nirvana is one of those bands that I feel like we got a glimpse at something amazing and unfortunately it was ended before reaching its full potential......but at the same time is that express window what makes it so impactful?
Great start to listening to an album a day, was already somewhat familiar with this album and a casual listener of nirvana, so I knew some songs, but most were very consistent to what I’ve heard before. The album doesn’t do anything special for me, but still very solid
Nirvana being Nirvana. Not my favorite Nirvana album, but a great one nevertheless.
18/10/24 I'm not on the Nirvana hype bus, but this album was okay.
- favs while listening: Heart-Shaped-Box, Rape Me, Dumb, All apologies (quite a basic answer, i know) - its such a raw and unpolished album - love the punk(-ish) influences - clearly many of those songs are very personal to Kurt which you can hear - was a nice listening experience OVERALL: 4/5
i have a lot of appreciation and a strange sort of affection for kurt cobain as a figure but this is the only nirvana album that i really Listen To (besides *mtv unplugged*). i associate it (especially “dumb”) with fall 2019. i think all apologies is one of the most beautiful songs ever. idk… nirvana is angsty across the board of course but i think there’s some genuine, nuanced pathos on this record and it does move me. pennyroyal tea is a hard fucking listen. :( fav tracks: dumb; all apologies; pennyroyal tea; serve the servants; frances farmer…; heart-shaped box; rape me
bretty good
This is Nirvana's shift to a more gritty sound. I loved this album as a young teenager, not as much these days. Heart-Shaped Box, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, and All Apologies are all timers in my opinion.
Feels a little less radio friendly after the massive Nevermind, more back to basics. There's still Heart-Shaped Box though, which is peak 90s rock, and the whole first part of the album is very good. Scentless Apprentice gets a bit screamy, but there's a great main riff and some real power to it. The second half is more subtle. I do like the overall sound and the combo of Milk It and Pennyroyal Tea is my favorite from the back half. No Apologies is a strong closer too. I like this more than I thought I would.
Grunge classic. Love the added orchestration on tracks like dumb
Great stuff - but a little shouty, even for Nirvana.
I don't personally vibe to this but I recognize it is a masterpiece and the highwater mark of the genre. I do not know if that means I give it a 2 or a 5, so I guess I'll do a 4
Good
Very good! I like the Albini mixing even if the singles lost that during the recording process.
I don't live under a rock, so of course I know Nirvana, but I had never bothered to listen to a full album as it has become this poser rocker thing over the years. My father was a Nirvana fan in the 90's and I have listened to the greatest hits tons of times as a kid. This album is really good. Very marked style. Sublime performances by all three of them. I don't find it precisely easy to listen, so that makes me think that, given the music culture of nowadays, Nirvana is just a fashion brand for 90% of the people you see with their logo stamped in a shirt. After listening to this album you realize why there is such a big mythical aura around Kurt. If only people cared about the music...
At first it felt like a great joy to hear these songs in the order they appear on the album. It gives them a sense of context and progression. The first song \"Serve the Servants\" hits like a ton of bricks. Nirvana has a way of creating sounds that fill your entire brain. One of the things I appreciate about listening to these tracks with headphones is how buttery the bass-riffs are. They have a warm, toasted quality. Getting into the familiar with \"Heart Shaped Box\" and \"Rape Me\" provided a nice reprieve from my perceived newness of the first tracks. \"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle\" might be my favorite track that I hadn't heard yet with it's discordant, upsetting chorus, \"I miss the comfort of being sad.\" Unfortunately, by the end my ears began to get tired. The high levels of noise make for a quick dopamine hit but without start, stops, and silence- \"In Utero\" becomes hard to listen to. It's a solid album with so many tracks I love. However, those tentpole tracks are stymied by too many other songs using the same thematical and instrumental playbook. 4/5
I was in love with this album as a 14-year-old. 20 years later, it still holds up.
Better than Nevermind. Feels like they did what they wanted to do on this album, when they could have easily followed up nevermind with an even more accessible album to appeal to the masses. Instead they created a very raw and actually quite disturbing album.
Pretty cool album, still think Nevermind is better. I’ll bet this is rated twice as highly as the Nas album yesterday though which speaks to the niche of people here
Very raw. Goes hard. Reminds me of my teens. All around excellent. Makes you wonder where they would have ended up.
In your Utero.
- Just by tuning into alt rock radio off and on for 20 years, I have heard at least half of this album. - Very much enjoy "Heart-Shaped Box," "Dumb," and "All Apologies." Probably heard each 100 times, but they are still effective. - Discovered "Pennyroyal Tea." Also "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter," but that one was possibly the least inspired track. - Nirvana is Nirvana. Sit back and enjoy the distortion.
Good shit, I like nevermind better tho
I certainly prefer Nevermind but this is also a very very good album to listen to
Great album
Cobain is fairly difficult to understand through his mumbling in the best of circumstances, it gets much worse when he's screaming. Low points: Scentless Apprentice, Tourette's
Not their best
4. Went on a bit.
More high school nostalgia
Very low 4 because they made 7 cool songs and 5 of the worst songs ive ever heard
Rape me и другие треки :)
yeah this is a 4! yeah this is pretty darn good! yeah!
++: Serve the Servants, Heart-Shaped Box, All Apologies +: Scentless Apprentice, Rape Me, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Dumb, Very Ape, Milk It, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourette's +-: Pennyroyal Tea 8,5/10
I came to this quite late (what people called Grunge in general). First listened to a few of the individual tracks as part of the Nirvana Unplugged MTV concert and CD / download
This is a high 4s. It's sloppy, messy, and yet often perfect. An amazing album
For some reason I can’t give this album a 5. It feels like a 4.5 but I feel like it doesn’t hit right to take it all the way. There are some really good songs on here and some of my favs from them but to me Nevermind brings what I expect from them the whole way through.
It seems as if there was a good amount of growth musically between Nevermind and In Utero, although ironically the less successful songs here tend to be the more punk ones, the sound they so wanted to stay more faithful to. Still a lot of really great tracks and excellent production.
A great album - nothing that beats those opening few tracks on Nevermind but amazing bits.
Decent!
Forgot how much I liked grunge. A couple of belters on this album - All Apologies and Heart Shaped Box. Lots of angst in the album - definitely got to be in the right mood to enjoy it.
Listening to some of these songs now, you can almost hear the foretelling of what is to come for Cobain sadly. I still like the majority of the album as the drums and guitar are great.
I don't think it's their best album. the energy, the angst, & depression can easily be felt & heard. the contrast in tones in between some of the tracks was pretty stark (Tourette's to All Apologies). I do love the use of the cello in Dumb
Good
Prefer this to Nevermind. Cobain’s vocals are stronger and clearer and the songwriting is more focused. The harsh, industrial guitar riffs appropriately complement the vocals. Grohl’s drums provide a strong foundation and shine when pushed to the foreground. Listened to: walking around Providence. Favorite tracks: Scentless Apprentice, Milk It, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Yeah this is peak 90's rock. Lots of strong catchy songs. Dave Grohl is also one of the few drummers that regularly has actual drum riffs. Want to love this record but man I wish some of those deep cuts were better. Some absolute gold but it's surrounded by mediocre songs :/ Still a 4 star for me though of the sheer strength of the good tracks
Not my favourite Nirvana album, but there's some great ones on here.
Just woke up from a 30 year coma. Can’t wait to see what these guys put out since then!
I liked the pattern this album continued.
Don’t be Dumb. Milk It and listen to this thing.
Definitiivinen ilmaus siitä, mitä tällä bändillä on tarjota: hokemat/koukut, Flipperiä poppina fanittava mökä, mollivoittoinen melodisuus. Lisäksi Heart-Shaped Box voittaa Smells Like Teen Spiritin sinkkubiisinä.
4-
Big Nirvana fan over here. But, In Utero is just so fantastic. All bias aside, it’s kinda wild how much depth this album has. Tracks that really showcase Cobain’s progression as a musician and lyricist, and really put his skills to the test. I just dig this album
It’s not Nevermind, but damn, it’s close. So many great songs and such a great album. I teach about ‘what if?’ moments in history and this whole album is a “what if life had been less cruel to Kurt Cobain?” This album is one I usually listen to a few times a year so nothing will change there, but I don’t think it’s quite in five territory.
I think I have Nirvana Stockholm Syndrome. I don't know if I like them or not. I've been told they're the greatest band of the 90's for my entire life and I have to like them. Am I singing along to "Heart Shaped Box" and "All Apologies" because I like them so much, or have the lyrics just been driven into my head over the years? Their influence is obviously huge, and they established the sound of the 90's. I just wish there was less influence over how I should feel about them to make my own determination, but I feel like I can't give them less than a 4.
After the powerhouse that was Nevermind the next album is a response to the enormous success.
Nice mix of some raw and some more polished songs. Not too easy on the ears at times, but the tension tends to finds a quick enough resolution. I gravitate toward the mellow moments in the end - Dumb and All Apologies stand out.
nirvana will always make edgy cool
Here are a bunch of adjectives that I would use to describe this album: constricting, enraging, abandoned, suffocating, empty, bursting, sad, painful, confusing, indifferent, raw. None of it is particularly "good", but it is special. I think grunge delivers more on an emotional level than a musical one and this album is a good example of that
I appreciate it lots, much better than the naked baby album My only problem with the album is how fatiguing it gets before it’s over, but I don’t mean that as negative as it sounds. I like their sound, it’s just quite an assault on the ears
A good album, my favorite of it was Heat-Shaped Box.
Favorite Tracks: All Apologies Heart-Shaped Box Rape Me
It's funny that this is the "inaccessible and abrasive" Nirvana album, but it's very accessible and mainstream compared to actual inaccessible and abrasive music
I listened to this a few months ago after not hearing it since the 90s. I hated it. Now I listened to it again and I've warmed up to it quite a bit. Strange how multiple listens change opinions.
The difficultt third album :) It's much more raw and aggressive than nevermind but it's a stunning album. Feels like a massive F U to a lot of people
There is some brilliance on this
Not as polished as Nevermind but still an absolute masterwork of the grunge genre. Makes you wonder what could have been had things turned out differently.
Still classic grunge. Holds up.
The really good songs are of an ascension that Nirvana could only have dreamt of. Brilliant compositions, plus that Nirvana sound and the now ever-present personality that is Cobain, makes this an all time classic
Prefer Nevermind but this is a more extreme direction perhaps with the same full-on 100% commitment. Assured with integrity which is all you can really ask from a band. After that it's just down to personal taste.
Fav: All Apologies Least Fav: Dumb
This made me feel some sort of way. Very depressing, but also nostalgic. Weird feeling.
One of the somewhat surprising things I’ve learned from this project is that I’m not much a fan of grunge (or at least, not the grunge albums I’ve gotten so far). I guess that, aside from Nirvana, I hadn’t really listened to much of the genre. I have mixed feelings about this one too, but it’s been the grunge album I’ve enjoyed most till now. I prefer the rougher sound here to the more polished Nevermind. There’s something almost punky about it, which I appreciate. There’s a bit of nostalgia here - a friend in middle school was a fan of Nirvana and introduced me to their music. I don’t think I really got it then. Maybe I still don’t, but I do like it better now. Favorite tracks: All Apologies, Heart Shaped Box, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

Was great music to listen to during wrestling practice, but as I’ve gotten older and less angsty, it doesn’t speak to me as much. I get it’s culturally significant and all that so it gets bumped up to 4 stars
Fantastic album with some flaws that put it just short of 5 stars. In places more interesting that Nevermind, but not as distinctive in others
I also prefer Nevermind, which may make me a basic bitch, but I don't care. Nevermind and Unplugged were the ones that changed my life; In Utero was the one that I "only" really liked. But I've continued to really like it through the years, and even if it doesn't totally get all the way up to 5 stars for me on a personal enjoyment level, it's still a tremendous group of songs. 4.5/5
Grew up passively listening to this album sooo much because my brother would listen to it all. the. time. There was a good couple of years where he would rotate between this and Pink Floyd’s The Wall every single day. So much of it has been burned into my brain but I still have never been a huge nirvana fan otherwise, so it was really interesting revisiting this on my own terms and actually really enjoying it!
Never really been a Nirvana fan but this one has always been my fav of theirs… i really appreciate the hardcore breakdowns and noise rock influence on this thing. Really makes ya wish they made some more music cuz they were headed in a really interesting direction
I always wonder if id like nirvana if I hadn't grown up listening to them.
Angry, angsty, and somehow low key in it's writing. Emblematic of the 90s
My first Nirvana album! This is another album where I know it will be even better in the fall. Luckily I listened to it on a very rainy day so I got an idea of how much I like it. Some songs are better than others but overall a very strong album.
Good solid rocking album. Of course its filled with signature Cobain angst. Solid 4
Didn’t love this quite as much as the Nirvana MTV Unplugged album, but still quite enjoyable.
Mint
Albino excellence
Nirvana was what bad kids listened to when I was growing up. I thought the song Rape Me was about someone asking to be raped. So did this kind of terrible kid I grew up with. Justin, you know who your are. Turns out it's a song about how most rapes are repeated offenses and are done by someone close and that Nirvana was trying to speak up about it. Who knew?
Not quite as good as Nevermind, but it's more consistent and is their harshest sounding album. Amazing closer. A
Some terrific tracks. Couple of plain screamo detracts slightly for me but still good. 8/10
Great raw emotion here, good drum hooks and compositional drum parts, great lyrics, and plenty of less popular gems like pennyroyal tea.
4.5 stars. I have not enjoyed Nirvana in the past, and it would be easy to write off this album as a bunch of grumbling. Subtitles ON for this one. I used to find Cobain's affectation grating, but I enjoy it now, and can see how it blends with the rest of the song elements. Even though not every lyric made total sense, like on "Scentless Apprentice" and "Rape Me", I still appreciated the emotions behind the singing and the energy of the instrumentation. There are also songs that are simple, "Dumb" and "All Apologies" that make it easy to enjoy what the band has to offer. Also "Heart Shaped Box" kicks ass
I hate to say this, but I spent most of the album wishing I were listening to Nevermind. Which is a shame because this album has its own unique and interesting sound, and is very engaging. But I just couldn’t get that thought out of my head
4/5. Okay, awesome. A change in the right direction from Nevermind. No filler, no extended songs for no reason, and no bad song, just some okay ones. Although it doesn't have bangers like the first side of Nevermind, it does have consistency and for a band that's loud and chaotic, that's a skill. It does garner repeated listens but I can give it the benefit of the doubt and give it a 4 at least. Best Song: Heart-Shaped Box, Milk It, R*** Me
Liked a lot even for grunge which isn't really my thing
A good album, not quite 5 stars but a good album.
Love the contrast of this to "Nevermind." This album comes across darker, more abrasive and raw. Easy to forget this is from 1993.
Vihasta.. meikäpoika äitin masussa noin vihapoikaaa ollu... Jos rauhotutaan vähän..
Very good. Hearing this takes me back to the time when it was released. Songs from this album seemed to be all over the place when it was released, but I didn’t mind because it was so good. I don’t remember buying this album, and it’s not inscribed with my name and date of purchase like I usually do, but the CD is in my collection. It might have been part of a deceased friend’s music collection their mom gave me around 15 years ago. Which is fitting because he and I hung out a lot when this album came out. Anyway. A few months ago Conan O’Brien had an interesting episode of his podcast where he talked with Grohl, Novoselic, and Albini about this album on the occasion of its 30 anniversary.
You know, this is in fact a great album, I think. Timely of course with the death of Steve Albini, but probably (barring the Unplugged album) my favorite Nirvana. They didn’t mean as much to me as other folks my age, but I can’t deny their impact and influence, which is in no small part based on the quality of their music. A terrific record, which not only makes me wonder what could have been if Kurt had lived, but also what we could have if Dave Grohl was still a drummer.
A nice mixture of four and five star songs. It hits some pretty high highs. I find myself revisiting Nevermind more often, but we’ll see where it compares to this one. I would’ve loved to see where Kurt’s music went after this.
Passionate, somber, and reflective. Cobain sings with such ferocity and grit. His voice and lyrics will forever be remembered, layered on top of melodic and sometimes aggressive guitars and drums. Nirvana was a pivotal transition in music and created pathways for many more types of music to surface. This record has some really great hits and sounds that are timeless. RIP Kurt.
The best solid album of Nirvana.
I wish I could give it 4.5. Great album
Although it's good you can see their formula appearing in a lot of songs and the variety wanes thin
The great songs are great and the rest are pretty average
Nirvanan suhteen myöhäisheränneenä mukava kuunnella tämäkin levy kertasoittona. Pyöräytin neljästi läpi ja totuus on jossain 3-4 välissä, mutta ehdottomasti positiivinen kokemus joten neloseen taipuu.
I love Nirvana. One of my favorite bands. I haven’t listened to this album, as a whole album, since it came out. I forgot about the couple of weird tracks where Kurt just sort of screams at the listener.
Melhor q o nevermind
I like this record a lot, but for me it's not at the level of their other records. Still has some great songs though. Strong 4.
m amazing album
a seminal classic. I enjoyed although was not. fan of Grunge Rock at the time.
Utrolig bra album, og jeg lurte på å gi det 5. Eneste grunnen til at jeg ikke har gjort det er fordi jeg prøver å forbeholde den for de virkelig helt spesielle albumene, og selv om grungen var nyskapende, så treffer det meg ikke helt bra nok. Det er nok også et av albumene som hadde vært helt annerledes å oppleve når det kom ut v. 31 år etterpå.
Woaw
All Apologies is so great. This smells of the mosh pit (rather than teen spirit). I wonder if it's called In Utero because it goes back (in spirit) to before Nevermind - the mother of the baby. If you see what I mean. Maybe everyone knows this and I am being Dumb (another great track). So raw it's tender.
Perfect album to block out the bullshit on a busy Tuesday morning in the office. Will definitely be coming back to this album in the future. Favourite track: Very Ape, because it’s a good track and Arctic Monkeys completely ripped it off with ‘Potion Approaching’ on Humbug!
A classic - obviously
Feel like Nirvana is defined by the singles that have been massively overplayed on radio / other means. While the albums themselves have become a bit under appreciated over the years. Really enjoy the complete listen of this album, instead of piecemeal singles.
Nirvana was getting interesting. Every album was playing into a different direction and this one followed by unplugged live shows a path that they may have done something really unique. Nice to hear something less polished and more wild. Cobain's voice is unreal. Very solid album.
The first 2 tracks are fine, they just don't do anything for me. I've always liked something about Heart Shaped Box. The arrangement is pretty good and just sonically. Kurt's voice is the thing that carries most of these tracks. I really like Pennyroyal Tea. All Apologies is a strong Finish
I always thought Nirvana was a touch overrated. They kind of are, but they definitely were good all the same. As epic a closer as All Apolgies is I like it when the band plays harder, like Scentless Apprentice. I don't think this deserves a 5 but it is definitely a strong 4.
El siempre difícil tercer disco, sobre todo si viene detrás de "el disco de su gereración, el que cambió la industria musical", fue para Nirvana el camino hacia su mejor obra aunque por razones obvias no la más influyente (ni la más exitosa). Sin embargo el paso del tiempo le ha sentado de maravilla. Eso sí, la portada me sigue pareciendo igual de horrible que entonces. Abre como un tiro con un pepinazo como Serve the Servants en la línea de sus adorados Pixies (ojo a Milk It, en la que han calcado su personal estilo). No baja el acelerador hasta llegar a Dumb otro de sus mejores momentos junto con Pennyroyal Tea, y acaba con un clásico como All Apologies. Es sin duda uno de los mejores discos de los 90 y del muy productivo 1993: debuts de PJ Harvey, Bjork, Suede y Radiohead, el último gran disco de U2, discos muy buenos de The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, New Order, Aerosmith, The Breeders, The Afghan Whigs, Morphine, Liz Phair, Cypress Hill, The Posies, Teenage Fanclub, The Waterboys, Yo la Tengo, Mazzy Star, The Boo Radleys, Mercury Rev, The Auteurs o DM3. Si por algún extraño motivo no has escuchado Nevermind, hazlo, pero sí ya lo has hecho, no dejes de hacerlo con este y disfrutarás tanto o más.
This album really shows how versatile Nirvana was. Killer songwriting and this album really shows off their heavy side
I love this album. I think it was brutal and raw.
Reminds me of middle school. Has some absolute bangers, and some awful songs. All in all it’s good
I like Nirvana. I do not love Nirvana. I also respect Nirvana. There's plenty of terrific and legendary tracks on this album. There's also some tracks that are really difficult to get through for me. When they click, both with songs that rage and those that are softer, it's hard to beat them in the grunge genre. This is not a perfect album to me...and I do get that overrated feeling...at times. Favorite tracks: Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Dumb, Very Ape, All Apologies.
Scentless Apprentice, Heart-Shaped Box, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge, Very Ape, Milk It, Pennyroyal Tea, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, All Apologies
it’s in utero
Great
Why Kurt? Why? Not as good as the others, but still amazing. Standouts: All Apologies, Heart-Shaped box, Rape Me, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea.
excellent
A fine punk album. Not Grunge. Mainstream Punk Rock. Love it. Fooled everyone, then pulled the plug. I remember the live audio feed of Courtney Love talking for hours to the gathering mourners at the Seattle Center Fountain. Strange and sad moment for my childhood playground. I grew up 6 blocks from the Garage House… used to get high at the nearby waterfront park as a teen. Knew all the kids who grew up in my hood, but I left long ago, and had no idea Kurt moved in years later. A strange place for them to be… very much not their people. Now a wealthy white enclave of gated drives and Do Not Enter signs.
I liked it, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. I know it's cool to prefer this to Nevermind, but I do honestly prefer that album. The middle section is pretty fantastic though, Dumb in particular is amazing, and Pennyroyal Tea is great. In no way do I dislike this album, but it makes me wish I was listening to Pixies, or even the earlier albums instead. 26/03/24
Definitely a more raw sound than the mega hit nevermind, but with a few radio friendly songs. I'm still surprised a song called rape me got play.
4.5 stars. A little too rough and experimental at times but there are some great tunes and overall it's a good album. I liked the slower tracks more than the aggressive ones. Standouts are "Heart-Shaped Box", "Rape Me", and "All Apologies".
A bit more hard core than other Nirvana albums, but I still liked it and see its importance in the realm of music
Pure 90s
best songs: heart shaped box rape me dumb all apologies
Not as good as Nevermind but still great. Guitar riffs are still in full force and they are CATCHY. Lots more screaming from Kurt on here, which I don't like as much. Strong #2 album for Nirvana.
Good. Important. But not quite as good or as important as Nevermind. My notes for Nevermind more or less apply to this, as well, but less enthusiastically.
4.5/5. Now this is the good shit, rest easy Kurt. Grunge was short lived but remains an influential staple in rock music. Too melodic to stay underground yet too alternative to fit into the mainstream mould, the 90s were the perfect time for the genre to blow up.
I got this album the day it came out, which was about a month before I left for Canada. I probably listened to this album 100 times before I left. It is dripping with the feeling of 1993 and that time in my life. Beyond that, the album is a tight, sonic follow-up to what some thought could never be reproduced in Nirvana's initial venture. Absolutely fantastic. 4.5 stars.
Some album filler, but the highs of the album are perfect
I'm torn between the influence this album had on rock/grunge music at the time and my enjoyment of it today. Its raw, its beautiful, its noisy.
not nearly as good as nevermind, but still a very solid album. Heart shaped box is a classic song
Obviously heard this before. Some songs are a little intense.
1. Serve the Servants - God dammit Dave Grohl is a great drummer. And these drums sound great. 2. Scentless Apprentice - Some of the abrasiveness feels a little put on. Obviously Nirvana started as a punk band and that abrasion was always part of their sound, but this song feels like an attempt to weed out the people who bought Nevermind because it was catchy. Kurt Cobain’s skill, in his singing and his songwriting, was always the ability to meld grit and melody. This song is unusually averse to any kind of hook, and given how effortlessly hooks seemed to just appear in Nirvana’s music, it feels intentional. 3. Heart-Shaped Box - On a purely musical level, there’s so much bleakness in the verses of this song and the lyrics are so evocative. The arrangement feels like the next evolution of the Pixies-ish quiet verse/loud chorus thing that they made popular on Nevermind. 4. Rape Me - It’s still pretty fucking wild that the biggest band in the world had fairly popular song called Rape Me in 1993. Again, it’s that classic Nirvana thing of being an incredibly bleak song that’s also filled with hooks. And man, when Kurt repeatedly screams the title near the end of the song… the way that moment is mixed is so perfect, as if all of a sudden his voice is just directly in front of you and everything else has been pushed aside. Their personal lives aside, it feels kind of fitting that he and Courtney Love were together, because she’s the only other person I can think of who can scream full-out, and do so melodically. 5. France’s Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle - gotta circle back to this song, because there’s more here than I can digest in a single listen. 6. Dumb - Nirvana has two different songs where a cello is (arguably) the highlight. Isn’t that something? 7. Very Ape - this and Milk It are good, not great album tracks. Okay got tired of making song specific comments. This is a really good album. It feels like a reaction to the success of Nevermind in a way that’s a little forced and a bit… meta? But the peaks are era-defining and remain capable of packing an emotional punch that transcends the “importance” of this music to the broader pop culture landscape.
It's harder to listen to than Nevermind, but it's good. It's more on the post-hardcore side of grunge. I'm sure the Deftones heard this when they were young. Favorite song: radio friendly unit shifter.
Always a great listen. So different from their previous albums. The back story around it's creation is fun too.
Solid follow on from Nevermind. In places a little too abrasive for my tastes but overall still really liked it
Some great songs on this but also some awful noise
Alot grungier than nevermind in my opinion. This one has fewer big tracks than NM as well, still a fire project from the boys
I've never listened to most of the songs on this album before. I first heard Heart-Shaped Box outside at a party in junior high, thinking that I found Nirvana kinda ehhh, and I still remember hearing the chorus come in. It's funny that there's so much mystique about alternate mixes of this album. It sounds like a band making an admirable effort to do their thing under tremendous pressure. music: respected. (⌐■_■)
This is the Nirvana I’ve listened to the least. It rocks. It’s got some of their best melodic parts and some of their best unmelodic parts. A great final album, sucks there aren’t more.
Wow nirvana
Rape me
Excellent songs (minus Rape Me), good album. Not as good an album as Nevermind, but still fine work.
A ground breaking, excellent album! I haven’t listen to Nirvana in an extended setting since I was in high school because it largely sounds “adolescent” to me now, but revisiting In Utero, I really appreciated it as a solid album with excellent tracks.
Not an easy listen And that’s the point
It’s been a long, long time. Like everyone else my age, I got this when it came out. Don’t love it as much as Nevermind or Unplugged. But there’s some really good tracks. There’s a handful I still really love.
This album hasn't totally clicked for me yet unlike the prior one, but I still respect it and it's definitely really really good.
It is obvious right from the start that this group plays with a force, and passion.
Very iconic guitar riffs, with lots of good dynamic control. Lyrics are abstract but evocative. Lots of dissonance in each song, which can be unpleasant after a while. Heavy sound, which is not my fave. But that's a personal preference, not a comment on the quality of the music.
OMG yes!!!
Very good.
I owned this album, got it when it was released, and liked it very much. Some solid tracks on this one. I can imagine it was tough to write and record this in the wave of all the attention and everything that comes with it (not being snarky with that observation, I mean it), and given the context, I've always been impressed with this album.
Great album, a few classics
All in all the album is great, but not as good as Nevermind or Unplugged. Tourettes was a good one.
In my opinion, the best Nirvana album. Really enjoy the way the production gives more personality to the songs (although it does not give room to breathe to the bass). I would have rated it as a 5 star classic if not for a couple of lesser songs that alter the listening experience.
Kurt Cobain's voice & crunchy quiet-loud guitars feel like the audio equivalent of putting on a comfy thrift-shop knit sweater with worn-in holes for your thumbs.
Escuché Nevermind en bucle durante años, pero por algún motivo no sentí curiosidad por este y creo que es la primera vez que lo escucho con atención. Nirvana tenía algo que hacía que los temas se elevaran. 4/5.
CD
Really solid album, surprised how few songs I recognized. Seemed to be a recurring motif throughout the album which I always appreciate. Frances Farmer will have her revenge on Seattle gave me a good laugh because at 2:25 it sounds a lot like the end part of Kickapoo from Tenacious D
i didnt listen but ive listened 1000000 times
cranky and moody i love it
not too big on nirvana, great album and probably their best imo
HL: "All Apologies", "Heart Shaped Box", "Dumb", "Very Ape", "Scentless Apprentice" Nirvana #3-- not first listen probably my favourite Steve Albini-produced record, either because it's had years to grow on me, or that the other producers that were controversially hired to remix/fix the album maybe made it better...? Every time I hear one of the versions of "All Apologies" (between In Utero & Unplugged), I'm always sure that THAT's the definitive version. Today, I insist on the noisy, sludgy ending this one has. Note to self: The statistics from this website contradict an assumption I have about myself- that I don't like grunge.
Teilweise Schrabbelig und viel Gekreische
Sorry, but this album is not as good as „Nevermind“ - 4 stars
What’s the best way of following up an extremely successful record? Do something totally different! This record is way more raw and visceral. I honestly like it. It’s what Nirvana was meant to sound like.
Amazing.
Prefer The Boo Radleys. 4.0
I still like Nevermind better than In Utero.
I like it, it’s a bit rough in how it tries to be rough in a way that inspired other groups to build upon it, but I sure wish we could have seen what they would have developed like without Cobain’s death.
It doesn’t get much better than this. Some repetitive moments but besides that the writing and musicality is top tier. Nirvana is legendary for a reason
The edgy, screamy parts don’t hit for me but there are some amazing musical elements under the surface.
Classic Grunge. Great Album. There are better songs than those in this collection/album, but solid 4 stars
War nie großer Nirvana Fan, finde das Album dementsprechend auch nicht so geil. Mit Ausnahme der Hits halt... Hat auch einige Songs, die einfach nicht zünden. 3,5 - > 4,alleine weils besser bewertet sein muss als die ganzen anderen 3er...
Noch nie als ganzes Album gehört (allgemein kaum Nirvana). Fands nicht durchgehend auf demselben Niveau, insgesamt aber trotzdem gut. 3,8.
3-5-6
The sound of Nirvana. Another first time listening to the album. I have had different tracks before. I hear the angst in the songs. This is not meant for when you are in a good mood. This is not really my taste. I do appreciate the craftmanship, despite the attempt to make it seem like they don't care.
Intense, dark
k apparently every Nirvana song I knew was off of "Nevermind." So speaks well for them that a cold listen of their stuff was still good for me, most other grunge doesn't manage that.
Never mind is the classic, but this album carries a sophisticated leap for the band.
Very raw and intense. Some of the songs are incredible and a great listen while some others are almost too intense and almost brutal. All in all amazing album
Fucking awesome
No. 96/1001 Serve The Servants 4/5 Scentless Apprentice 2/5 Heart-Shaped Box 4/5 Rape Me 4/5 Frances Farmer 4/5 Dumb 4/5 Very Ape 4/5 Milk It 3/5 Pennyroyal Tea 4/5 Radio Friendly Unit Shifter 2/5 Tourette's 3/5 All Apologies 4/5 Average: 3,5 Definitley one of the heavier albums by Nirvana. I like the Unplugged Version of some of the songs better. Still a really good album, just goes to hard for my personal taste
Decent
Heart Shaped Box is one of my top songs, but I always listened to the cover of it. It was cool to listen what other songs came in the album!
I’d contend this is a grunge explainer. It has raw energy connecting it to punk but with gritty layers instead of stripped down speed like early punk. It brought back an excellent era in my Gen X memories. Happy to revisit this one.
Nirvana is not my favorite grunge band, and this is not my favorite Nirvana album. 3.5 stars
Still a great album even though a lot of the songs have been massively overplayed. I think bleach is still my favorite record of theirs.
I liked it though not as much as yesterdays. This album is great but also rough.
Heart-Shaped Box // Rape Me // Dumb //
Not aware about the album, but good to listen.
skipped 2/12 songs, not bad
Their third album and one of the more anticipated releases of my lifetime. How do you follow a masterpiece like Nevermind. You get darker, I guess. I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could.
7.5/10 Highlights: Heart Shaped Box Dumb All Apologies Rape Me
least fav of nirvana’s catalogue
Great album, love Nirvana
4/5
no complaints. crazy production. kurt was the goat.
Pretty damn good.
Ich dachte ich kenns aber dem war nicht so. Sehr harter Stoff, intens, erinnert mich an dad und ayleen im Sinne von aufgeben und sich der Lust hingeben. Würde mir schwer fallen das Album im Alltag zu hören.
Never really listened to Nirvana much, but I understood their appeal. After making myself sit through the whole album, I'm pleasantly surprised and might start delving into their music a little more. They definitely have their own very unique aesthetic that though isn't my absolute favorite, has it's own charm. 4/5 They also have a cool motion graphic visualizer ;)
Notable Songs: About a girl, Dumb
I think I’ll use this as a true benchmark 4 star album in this rating system. I may have given them out a little liberally early on. I’m a sucker for all early Nirvana and this one comes out hitting, production value is super high but I just can’t justify anything higher. 4.25/5
4 Feels too low but not quite a 5. Maybe 4.8
Oof difficult to judge - as it opens it contains all of the cliches I hate; screaming vocals, aimless guitar solos. Then Heart shaped box, rp me, all apologies are all time greats which I absolutely love. Plus the gall to call a song "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" then the shouty one "tourettes" . overall not an album i'd own but can appreciate greatly. 3.8
Outstanding
Classic
This one is grunge in every sense of the word. I loved the gritty guitars and screaming vocals all over it. The lyrics are amazing too as expected. It may of dragged a tiny bit towards the middle, but this album is stellar.
This was a nostalgic listen. I was never the biggest Nirvana fan, but certainly enjoy listening to them when they come on. Album feels like a band maturing into their sound. Gives a glimpse of maybe what would have been.
Would have been 5 stars if they left Scentless Apprentice in the bin where it should be.
Listened a couple of times. Gets better each time
