[354] my heart is broke, but I have some glue

Mother and brother are off to Edmonton, it's just me and the animals! I have a lot to do, which means... it's naptime.



Wikipedia Sez: In Utero is the third and final studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 21, 1993, by DGC Records. After breaking into the mainstream with their second album, Nevermind (1991), Nirvana hired Steve Albini to record In Utero, seeking a more complex, abrasive sound that was reminiscent of their work prior to Nevermind. Although the singer and primary songwriter Kurt Cobain claimed that the album was "very impersonal", many of its songs contain heavy allusions to his personal life and struggles, expressing feelings of angst that were common on the band's previous album.

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Grunge

Release Date: September 21st, 1993

Prior Familiarity: Okay! All we know is all we are, as a matter of fact.

What I Did While Listening: Let my phone charge up and got cozy to stave off the encroaching rainy night chillies.

Verdict: Eh, I dunno. It's got some really good stuff on here, but it's also got some nigh-unlistenable garbage? The whiplash in going from Scentless Apprentice to Heart-Shaped Box is... woof. Not bad, but definitely did not motivate me to hit up the two-hour deluxe edition or the four-hour SUPER deluxe edition (lol come the fuck on). RIP Steve Albini.
