Best Nirvana album. Nevermind is greatly overrated.

Best nirvana album.
Great sounds and nice reference to Suskind. That's all I have to say . No way near the greatest rock albums, but still a pretty good rockin' thing.

I have to disagree... Nirvana created a masterpiece of abrasion and aggression on In Utero, managed to look good doing it, and still remained nice guys you could have a cup of coffee with...

Ah!
Well, that does not imply that it's not a great rock album, it's just that I rank as "greatest" stuff more "seminal" (just an example, the obvious WL/WH) in a way. Just a matter of povs I guess. edit: the fact that I credit part of the "goodness" of the sound to albini's production might affect my judgment.

You have a point... But as a modern classic... Ahh, but...We're still reaching modern, aren't we all?

It's populist, I'll give you that... But it's sonic goodness, on an unprecedented scale... It's one of the more important rock albums for the 21st century... So far...

I wasn't refering to In Utero, which is an album that I love but rarely listen to, anymore.

Point taken... I'll keep the post-post-modern references to myself...

point of fact... in utero wasnt a 21st century recording was it??? it was 1993 right???????
it is not the most important rock album evr. its a fucking damn fine beast of an album engineered by a master and played by a shit hot band . it is a far better album in general than nevermind. its populist????? i dont agree, its only populist because the name of te band, in utero tends to be really forgotten about by folk who are into nirvana the product, yknow who i mean,,, the kids that wore nirvana shirts whilst listening to guns and roses, whitesnake and the like... i could never understand the fascination for hair metal and heavy metal kids to like nirvana. nirvana always were more punk than that for me......... anyway... in utero.......... fuckig great, im actualy gonna listen to the albini cut of it right now, skip to scentless tho, that song is nirvanas peak! |

It's not 21st century, technically, but its importance persists to this century...
EDIT: By the way, Nevermind was a great rock album too... It's not just a punk album, that would be missing the point, I think..
