In Utero - Nirvana Reviews

The making of the album 'In Utero' is Nirvana's fourth studio album (or 3rd if you don't count the compilation of B sides that was 'Incesticide'). The album has a more raw and discordant sound than it's predecessor, 'Nevermind'. In many ways, 'In Utero' is a reaction against the mass appeal of 'Nevermind'. 'In Utero' is a deliberate ...  Read the complete review

In Utero is Nirvana's third studio album and another example of why they are considered one of the most inspirational bands of all time. From opener 'Serve the Servants' (Which sees Kurt singing about his distaste for his father) to the closing track 'Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flowing Through The Strip' (an Endless Nameless part 2). In Utero is a ...  Read the complete review

In Utero was the third and also the last studio album released by the band Nirvana. It was released in 1993 and had mainly good reviews at the time of release and sold millions of copies worldwide. The first track off the album is save the servants, it's a good start to the album in my opinion, it has a really nice clear guitar intro ...  Read the complete review

The follow-up to the highly successful Nevermind, In Utero sounds nothing like its predecessor. The poppy and clean sound is gone, replaced by Steve Albini's raw production. Nirvana, especially Cobain, wanted to shake off his audience who only liked them for their poppy melodies. He created this masterpiece. Recorded in a ...  Read the complete review

In Utero had the working title: I Hate Myself And I Want to Die. Released - September 21st 1993! ------------------------------------------------------------------- In Utero starts off with Serve The Servants. This is a average paced song with some super guitaring. Serve The Servants is not "drony and miserable" and is very ...  Read the complete review

I would describe In Utero as rough rock/grunge? with grinding guitars (tuned down half step to sound heavier) and hard-hitting drums. The likes of, 'Heart-Shaped Box', 'Rape Me', and 'Pennyroyal Tea' are of the quiet/loud dynamic, whilst 'Scentless Apprentice', 'Radio Friendly Unit Shifter' and 'Tourette's' would be what Kurt identify as ...  Read the complete review

Nirvana's final studio album, In Utero, was what many believed to be Kurt's subliminal suicide note (that's if you think it was suicide). I can see why many people think this as it is a substantial return to Nirvana's raw style. All songs are fuelled by brilliant grunge/pop rhythms with Kurt screeching mesmerisingly angst-filled lyrics over the ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be the only person who doesn't find this album amazing. Don't get me wrong, this is a good album and has some great songs, but it doesn't seem to flow in the same laid back way of "Nevermind". (My dad agrees and prefers "bleach") I guess i'm trying to find the stoner rock in the album rather than listening to it for ...  Read the complete review

1993 saw the heavily-anticipated release of Nirvana's follow-up to the ground-breaking success that was 'Nevermind' - an album that shaped a generation. But if that was the partying and celebration of 'grunge' - 'In Utero' was the emotional morning after, complete with bitter and breathetaking music. Opening track 'Serve The Servents' ...  Read the complete review

I don't know where to start. Maybe Nevermind will be a good beginning, or maybe the suicide will get the reader gripped more- the point is that Kurt Cobain was, and still is a legend who tragically took his own life (none of that murder rubbish please), April 4th 1994. Now that the final nail in Nirvana's coffin has been firmly driven in ...  Read the complete review

First off In Utero has some...well, original song names. The tenth song, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is just classy really,a bit of a p*ss-take at pretty much anything commercial. What we have here is Nirvana's third album and the followup to the hugeeeee Nevermind. It would be a big task to try and beat it and in a sense Kurt Cobain ...  Read the complete review

Nirvana are a band that will always be remembered. Not only because the lead singer, Kurt Cobain, killed himself, but also because their music was so passionate, meaningful, and influential. They founded grunge with their first album, Bleach, and their second album, Nevermind, was praised enormously by the music industry as a whole. However, ...  Read the complete review

Well what can i say? Not quite Nevermind but certainly an album to make all the try-hards wince with shame. A sublime mix of dynamics - soothing and as if Kurt is singing to YOU one minute and then a carthartic rock out the next. Serve The Servants is in my opinion the weakest track ; it's a tad self-indulgent and disjointed and leaves you a ...  Read the complete review

I like Nirvana. I've always liked Nirvana. I started out as many did, in the stereotype of the wannabe Nirvana "fan", liking "Teen Spirit" and little else. Then I discovered the rest of Nevermind, and it was constantly in my CD tray. I loved it and still do, what I didn't know however was that there was so much more to ...  Read the complete review

Overall, I feel "In Utero" is Nirvana's best studio album, and the only one I'd really call "art." However, as a whole it's also one of the most noisy and unpleasant albums I've ever heard. It takes a lot of desensitization and teenaged anger to get through all the screaming, feedback, and guitar slamming on ...  Read the complete review

This was Nirvana's last studio album. A lot of people prefer this album to Nevermind, perhaps because of its slicker production and more accessible songwriting. Many of the tracks could be considered much more MTV-friendly, including Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me (apart from the title+lyrics of course), Dumb and All Apologies. In Utero also ...  Read the complete review

Over the last decade, there have perhaps been more headlines emerging from the music business than any other. In the celebrity-obsessed society that we unfortunately now live in, the tabloid's flavour of the month and their every move is, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, more likely to grace the front pages than the continuing conflicts ...  Read the complete review

“In Utero” is an album which proves exactly how much Nirvana grew up after the success of “Nevermind”. From the opening riffs of “Serve the Servants” to the quiet close of the beautiful “All Apologies” (depending on which edition you get), the album simply screams quality. A greater range ...  Read the complete review
