Nirvana - In Utero

On this one we take a look at Nirvana's follow up to the all concurring grunge classic, Nevermind. In Utero was an all together different animal, still made of the same parts that made Nirvana special, the sugary pop hooks, the energy, the punk underbelly and the wall of noise but with none of the polish that Butch Vig gave to Nevermind. On this one Steve Albini brought the raw punk rock back, he sharpened the edges and removed all of the sweetness. The record label would go on to say that they hated it and it wouldn't be released but other produces were brought in to polish the original mixes a bit for our poor frail ears.
