In Utero 20th Anniversery
Did you guys know that it's the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's album, In Utero? I only just got the album sent to me by a friend, but I've listened to it. I really like it but sometimes the noise can get a bit annoying. What do you guys think?

It's not their best album, but when the competition is Nevermind, don't expect to take gold. This album was actually really well written in my opinion, especially compared to the rest of their catalog.

exactly how i feel :) Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle is in my opinion their opus the 20 anniversary re-issue is amazing....much like the Nevermind one was... Spoiler for track listing:
|
I was on their mailing list at the time.
I remember they sent me a poster advertising Pennyroyal Tea as the forthcoming single a couple of weeks before Cobain died. I think I still have it, I wonder if it's worth anything seeing the single was withdrawn. |
yeah....in all honesty i would say yes to that.....that single is very hard to find and worth quite a bit....i'm sure anything having to do with it would be worth something
|
Their best album imo
one of the few albums that cover art reflects the sound of the album such a well produced album too.. the guitar sounds great and the drums sound amazing! Albini did his thing.. the sound reminds me a little of the surfer rosa album by the pixies it has like a raw refined sound to it that is very loud and powerful |

I'm not sure it'll get that much.
A few promo copies of the single came out in the UK before it was withdrawn and they go for around £100 |

This reminds me of my childhood friend who use to buy all the nirvana singles just for that one extra song..
tracking all their rarities and bootleg albums and it was so hard to track them back in the early 90's because the internet hadn't really exploded back then and some cds were hard as sh*t to hunt down.. Im not a collector myself so i don't care for buying the in utero cd again for sentimental reasons, i feel i don't need to.. neither do i care much for celebrating the anniversary of one of their albums or Kurt's death for that matter.. i don't need to buy their re-released songs that i already know for nostalgia reasons because i still know them by heart.. Plus i just saw the track listing and i think they missed a few rarities |

Its also odd that such irreverent lyrics and wholly crushing depression took hold that strongly with the young kids. I mean, its weird to think that many people signed up to be depressed. Had to be there I guess. Quote:

i think it's kind of unfortunate all of this stuff was released on the box set a few years back....save the live show personally not much of a collector anymore but this makes a great gift for a friend of mine Quote:

@Urban - Which is an improvement, but why depression, I guess is what I'm saying.
@bob. - I was into it, but I was about 11 at the time it came out and I honestly didn't listen to the words. I always assumed bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were enjoyed by everyone, but they were never anyone's "favorite" band. Don't know why I assumed that, I guess they just didn't inspire a godless passion in me. I don't know, all these years later the whole time period seems weird to me. OK soda, music videos, Bevis & Butthead, Clueless, baggy clothes...the 90's were one big, failed experiment. Speaking from a U.S. perspective, even the country seemed to be all over the place. Our politics were insane, riots were all over the place, television became dominated by day-time talk shows, rap went from becoming super-hardcore to selling out about as fast and as hard as any genre to date, the OJ Simpson trial was eternal, and being super depressed was the coolest **** in the world. |
@Big3
lol i agree, depression was popular in the 90's but it wasn't that bad and Grunge wasn't the only music around, Green day, No doubt, The Foo fighters, The breeders, all these bands were around in the 90's and they weren't depressive in fact they were the alternative to depressive grunge bands and speaking of beavis and butthead, did you ever hear this song? Nirvana - 1993 - I Hate Myself & I Want to Die [Beavis And Butt-head] [vinyl] [HQ Audio] - YouTube This cd is one of those that my friend had a hard time tracking but thankfully he did and that's why i know this song :) supposedly there is an opposite ver called 'I love myself i want to live' but i never heard it i think it was just a myth |
I love prog rock but miss those days a lot. I wonder if I genuinely consider the 90s to have been a marvellous decade or if it is that I'm getting older, hence nostalgic; though I seriously do miss that time and will drink a toast to this album on the spot. What would Kurt be doing nowadays if he was here with all of us?

I wonder what his opinion on Foo Fighters would be...

Greetings all, signed up on here a while back but hadn't posted at all.
First post! :) When In Utero came out I was 22 and in college. After Nevermind, I wondered how they would top that. Then I started hearing all the 'buzz' about this one before it was released and it was all, "oh, it's a huge departure from Nevermind/Kurt wanted to distance himself from all of the success of that one/the record company didn't like it/blah blah blah." Once I picked it up, I was floored. It WAS hugely different from Nevermind, but THAT's what made it all the more better. Loved the heaviness of it and the furious/rapid vocals, right along with the mournful voice on tracks like Pennyroyal Tea and whatnot. Definitely one of my favorite albums and in my opinion one of the very few great albums from the so-called 'grunge' area, though I never considered them in that category. I'm glad they're doing the 20th Anniversary thing on this. I picked up the Nevermind super deluxe version and the Bleach deluxe version when those came out. Initially I had been interested in the super deluxe as well for this one, but have decided to only pick up the deluxe. Don't need the extra 'live' cd and would much rather have the dvd in its own case. With the Nevermind super, I never really listed to the live cd and it's a bit annoying to take out the entire set just to grab the dvd. Yeah, minor nitpicks, but the $$$ was a factor too. Anyway, just checked Amazon (though I'm going to pick them up in-store) and checked the deluxe version (about $21) has two discs, which were the only ones I am interested in, and those contain all the tracks on the first two cds of the SUPER deluxe. I'll pick up the Live and Loud dvd with this, and I'll be set. Oh, and the Live and Loud has been on my 'get this damn thing out already' for ages. So spending about $40 on both of these is way better than $120-$140 (whatever the price range will be). |
I love In Utero..Cobain, the genius inspired the other genius, Chad Kroeger. Thank you, Mr. Cobain.
Heart Shaped Box really molded the Nickelback sound..I can feel the drive right now as I type these awe inspiring words. |
If anything, Nirvana sounds like Nickelback. Chad Kroeger's genius is so ahead of it's time that Kurt was writing everything based around what he thought Nickelback's first album would sound like.

Oh, I see. I think it would have been more appropriate if you had posted it the Pearl Jam thread, or if you had used a picture that was more than just Scott Stapp with a reference to one of his most popular songs.
What do you think of Staind? |
Enough. Enough with the ****ing Nickelback. I couldn't give less of a **** that you enjoy them, but this thread is about Nirvana. In Utero, in particular.

Quote:
Staind have always been looking to replicate the Nickelback sound and image..it's painfully obvious. 'It's Been A While' is a rip off of 'Hero' Aaron Lewis couldn't tie Chad Kroegers shoes.. Quote:
Nirvana have been an influence on Nickelback, for their whole career span, I'm speaking on behalf of Mr. Kroeger and the rest of his colleagues..when I say, thank you Mr. Cobain. Thank you. |

It's common knowledge among everyone in the Nickelback camp that Staind lived in Canada in the mid to late 1990's in order to replicate the Nickelback sound. It's painfully obvious. |

Yes, Staind were Canadian residents at one point..they were at every little club that Nickelback performed at, they deserve to give Chad and the crew all of their money obtained from all of those years. No problem, guys. |

Jack White blatantly steals from Nickelback, how can you not realize that? Nickelback are Canadian but they're not awful, oh and as for the second statement/quote...nice, take my words out of context and spinning it. Typical Nickelback hater.. |
What has Jack White stolen from Nickelback?
|
Quote:
"Never made it as a wise man" "The hardest button to button" How can anyone not see the similarities? He is copying off of every verse of Chads...he is a thief, they all are, we all know it. |

Yeah you've said that like ten times since you've been here, but you've never once articulated why you feel that way.
All I've managed to get from this entire discussion is that you're a softcore troll with limited taste in music and that you may or may not mind being Lucky Pierre with Scott Stapp and Chad Kroeger. |
