Editorial Review:
1993 Geffen release, the band's final studio album with the 7:33 long 'Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip' added as a bonus track that is listed on the back inlay of the jewel case, but is hidden on the disc itself, since the CD scans only 12 tracks. 13 tracks total, also including the alternative hits 'All Apologies', 'Heart- Shaped Box', 'Milk It' and 'Rape Me'. The CD is a color picture disc.
Description of In Utero:
Overwhelmed by sudden success, Nirvana promised to take a harsher, more abrasive route on their second major-label release. Enlisting Chicago-based noise maven Steve Albini (of Big Black fame), Kurt Cobain and company succeeded in producing a record that was violent, disillusioned, and deeply moving. Every song reads like a commentary on the cost of fame ("Serve the Servants") and the unhealthy relationship between performer and fan ("Milk It"). Of course, they might all simply be about Courtney Love. Gossip aside, there is no denying the sheer power of Cobain's songwriting, his singing, and the band's amazing, visceral power. Cobain even manages a John Lennon-like mantra at the end of the heart-wrenching "All Apologies." "All in all is all we are," he intones repeatedly, only for Cobain that's no consolation. --Percy Keegan
In Utero Reviews:
Recorded in 2 weeks 
2009-10-23 - Note the whole medical vibe of the cover art and song lyrics - like Kurt felt the record industry was dissecting him and exposing his life for everyone to see. Dave Grohl really gives John Bohnam a run on this record - his bass drumming sounds like Thor's hammer hitting a drum the size of a refrigerator. This really is in a lot of ways Bleach II not in the sense of rehashed material but a returning to their harder and darker roots.
Nirvana's last studio record. 
2009-09-25 - A short while after this record came out, Kurt Cobain died. In any case, this record was a departure from their previous record, but perhaps wasn't quite as good as Nevermind, which sold more records. All in all, a good record, but it would have been interesting to hear what came out next.
At first I didn't like the second side of this
2009-08-31 - I used to have this on cassette, and the first side of this album is perfect. It sounds like they wanted to take grunge to the next level, and make this one even more lo-fi sounding than "Nevermind". "Serve The Servants" is an underrated song that should've gotten some airplay on the radio. I only heard it once on 98 Rock a Tampa station, then a song I originally thought as a weak song "Scentless Apprentice" shows it's a competent song. "Heart Shaped Box" was the big hit on the radio down here in Central Florida, but the song that got it pulled from Walmart has also been getting airplay down here called "Rape Me". Then comes my favorite song on the album "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" Cobain's favorite actress was Frances Farmer who was wild lady of the late 30's-early 40's, and when she couldn't control her partying she was committed to a asylum where she wound up getting a lobotomy which changed her forever, and she died in 1970 at the age of 56. "Dumb" is just there. Side 2 I originally thought that this was where the album fell apart as it was nothing but noise with Cobain shrieking, and it was drenched in feedback and distortion. However, after sampling the second side I found it to actually be a good side. "Going Ape" kicks off side 2, and then follows with
awsome
2009-06-12 - I was very happy with the item a got. It came very fast and in great condition. I was also suprised to find it so cheep. I will buy again.
Solid album
2009-05-13 - Nirvana does well throughout the entire album. Though there are many songs that will blend together or be completely forgotten, their are definitely enough memorable ones to really brig the album together. Unlike Nevermind where only the first five or so songs were worth listening to, In Utero deserves full attention.
