I'm not a big Nirvana fan but In Utero is the only album I dig.

definitely an iconic album, paul.

you can't substract it's importance, even if the music inside might not be as good as some other albums. it's more the impact than it's substance.

yep. thats what i was saying. nevermind happened at the right time. same as nevermind the bollocks.... and that isnt a musical masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination!

But we all agree, In utero kicks all y'all's asses...

its not as good as spiderland but then few albums are!

No offense, but i think most 'post-rock' is extremely over-rated.

i think the term post rock is dumb anyway. i prefer to call it good music!

:) Excellent... unfortunately, the planet does not agree with you...

the planet! pah! what do they know!!!!!

Give Spiderland a go, i knew what "post-rock" was before i heard it and im a cynical bastard. Now i like it very much indeed. Get to it before the tide of pretention gets to it first.

I hope it cures my 'post-rock' allergy... :) Thanks for the reference, pauly and ikara...

Spiderland bores me at times.

i'd also like to second aneurysm as the best nirvana song.

not sure how spiderland got mentioned in this thread, but it's easily one of the best albums ever. just perfect. with an atmosphere that's impossible to replicate, songs that were before their time -- and "i miss you".

totally appreciate.

their best album. period.

Great album. Although the word 'great' applies to all their albums.

I'm definately intrested in hearing the unpolised version of "In Utero", if those recordings ever get released, but as it is I still enjoy the album. I like Nirvana, and at the time "In Utero" came out it was pretty solid to say they were my favorite band at the time. I appreciate the attempt by them to make the complete oppisite of what "Nevermind" was. Either they succeded admirably or failed beautifully, but either way the album holds up on its own as a heavy sonic album, that goes by in a heartbeat.

don't quote me on this, because i'm not the resident nirvana brainiac on the board, but i seem to remember that you can find the old unpolished in utero on soulseek. maybe not. i dunno if it's worth seeking out, since the only differences, apparently, are louder drums and an effects-heavy guitar solo in heart shaped box, but whatever.

anyway, what's sad about in utero is their best song (marigold) was recorded during these sessions.. and it wasn't even on the album.

and everyneurotic was pretty much on the money when he said rape me is like the worst song ever. at least the song title is clever (though the irony of it probably was unintentional, since we all know kurt cobain was a fucking moron).

i remember downloading it myself and not hearing much of a difference, just a slight change in volume and a bit less polished.
maybe it wasn't really it. not sure.

Thanks man. The amount of people I've met and have never heard it or at least heard of the album makes me want to kill. Either way it's an amzing album. Wish I could've seen him at cochella this year.
