Grand album, it feels like running through the prairies alongside the Native American on the cover. Epic and thrilling, with the lengthy "Walk like a Giant" and "Ramada Inn" as absolute peaks.

    Seen in Rome. Great concert. The album is excellent, wow, I didn't expect it to be so good. Distorted and earthy (almost droney, almost) like in the '90s. Let’s go.

I really appreciated how this wonderful retrospective was curated (by Endino) to showcase the spirit of Nirvana: it reminds me of a reflection made by the Wipers about the fact that only with something extremely raw can one achieve a crystalline purity.

    Undoubtedly one of the best albums of the '90s... I caught them live in Rome, at the Palaghiaccio, along with the Melvins. What can I say? Nevermind didn't do much for me, unlike the majority of people, instead...

In the evolution of their sound, it sits perfectly between Bleach and Nevermind (even though it was released after the latter masterpiece). An album that contains tracks like Dive, Aneurysm, Sliver, Stain, Been a Son, Aero Zeppelin, Big Long Now can deserve nothing less than a 5.

    "In Utero," without a doubt!
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    Yess... side A with the three covers, with a sped-up Polly, and a lot of Grohl on the drums, is the most explosive part of the album. Side B featuring Dale Crover and Chad Channing, with Grohl only on the magnificent Aneurysm, has a more typically """GRUNGE""" vibe (a Bleach-style mix of garage, hardcore, sludge, and alternative). Almost all recordings date back to 88-89-90 and something from 1991... An album that could have been done better, for example as an official album before Nevermind and the change in direction, but still maintains a great charm and some incredible sounds.
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    *it's the most impetuous yet melodic part of the album (I add: we're heading towards Nevermind)
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    About grunge (the more stylistically definable one, so the one from the Seattle beginnings), it's interesting how Nirvana, Tad, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Melvins, and Screaming Trees at a certain point (perhaps thanks to the success of Nevermind) all softened their sound while still producing great albums. A different case is that of Alice In Chains, who were remarkable but debuted on a major label, thus lacking a "true grunge debut" (and that's not a tragedy, eh) and Pearl Jam, who were directly a softening of previous grunge bands.
  • madcat
    18 sep 13
    mine is also in utero, and I'm awaiting the reissue with live and loud next week :D
    specifically regarding Pearl Jam, I remember how one of the group (I think it was one of the two guitarists but I can't recall exactly) said that it was actually Cobain's initial criticisms that made them start engaging in self-criticism, and indeed the most beautiful things for me were made by Pearl Jam with Vitalogy and No Code.
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    Last bit of nonsense and then I'm done ;-) ... many say that grunge as a musical genre never really existed, and they might be right. However, I feel there's a common thread between Bleach + this, the first two albums by the Melvins, the EP-era Soundgarden, early Mudhoney, the first albums by TAD, even the never-so-loved (by me) Skin Yard, Green River... maybe a bit less with Screaming Trees, who were, after all, buddies with all these guys... "there's a bit of sludge in all of us. But you can also feel the hardcore element, even if you play '70s rock" :-P
  • madcat
    18 sep 13
    Well, they were all under Sub Pop at the beginning, right? I mean, Sub Pop also released stuff from Smashing Pumpkins and Afghan Whigs back then, but it was the label for that sound: heavy, distorted, angry, tied to hard rock, garage, punk rock, and psychedelia, even though they were all obviously very different from each other. In any case, my favorites from Nirvana remain Nevermind, In Utero, Unplugged, and Live At Reading (and soon Live and Loud will be added to that list), so definitely after the first period (that one too, for sure).
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    Well, in the end, if you look at all the collaborations and parallel projects of the Pearl Jam members (aside from Eddie Vedder), you can uncover so much interesting stuff, maybe even more than the PJ themselves, that there's really no need to discuss the artistic stature of the individuals. In my opinion, they did well to keep it simple at a certain point. They sold more than everyone else without any major peaks but also without big falls or pathetic moments, and live they've always made quite an impression. The heart of the Seattle music scene of those years was elsewhere, but I have nothing to reproach the PJ for, not even if they had remained at Vs. (which is my favorite of theirs).
  • aerdna
    18 sep 13
    Yes, yes... grunge was 100% Sub Pop Sound, but vice versa as well. I enjoy both "periods." Different things. And thank goodness they made different things, since I have different moods and I like to switch up music in different situations! I don’t even have to look elsewhere :-)
  • SilasLang
    18 sep 13
    Ah dear madcat, yes, I love In Utero more than all their albums, followed closely by Bleach and this one....and then I've never really liked Nevermind that much :) Regarding Pearl Jam, I completely agree, I have all their albums up to Yield, but they’ve never said much to me, with the exception of Vitalogy, which I really find beautiful, the most acidic, raw, and visceral, finally free from that "stadium" sheen of the other works. Yes, I also didn't mind No Code...but Vitalogy is a rarity in their discography, for me..Ten almost makes me sick, I’m being honest..
  • madcat
    18 sep 13
    Look, Vitalogy is also my favorite Pearl Jam album, partly for sentimental reasons, but objectively No Code is beautiful too, same quality level, really nice. Ten has never grabbed me either; there are objectively great tracks, but there’s also a dip and boredom, especially in the second half for me. Anyway, on an emotional level, the standout tracks from the debut truly resonate; some consider it their peak no matter what, and there are those who really love it right away, I think because of the emotional impact of those songs (even flow, alive, black, jeremy). However, overall it has never fully satisfied me.

    I'll tell you, that discoulo has never driven me crazy, and I bought it fresh out of release, practically. Then it's a matter of taste, but in my opinion, it's a bit too overrated because of the audience boom that followed (however, nothing compared to the boom that happened after the famous gunshot..) All the praises given to this one personally deserved In Utero, that's one of the coolest discs of the nineties... nice definition anyway :)
  • aerdna
    25 jun 13
    Indeed, this album has great songs (if you like the genre) but produced in an abysmal way (if you like the genre). (In fact, it pleased more other listeners, who appreciated nothing else of the genre) anyway, a nice little record. The next one, "In Utero," has even better songs with better production, which I believe was initially by Albini and then touched up various times by different people... and indeed not completely satisfying according to the Nirvana themselves, among other things already hinting at a breakup. Anyway, I found them more likable during the '89-91 period, both with the exceptional Chad Channing and the very skilled Dave Grohl. And live they gave their best (if you like the genre). Incesticide and Bleach my favorites. Bye and whatever.
  • madcat
    25 jun 13
    Thank you Silas for the "cool definition anyway :)" My favorite Nirvana album is also In Utero, and it undoubtedly deserves all the praise it has received (and perhaps even a bit more, right?), but in terms of quality, for me, they are on the same level.
  • SilasLang
    25 jun 13
    I saw them at the ice rink in Rome, with the Melvins as the opening act (immense).. but you could feel the impending end (as a band) just by watching them on stage. A friend older than me was lucky enough to see them during the Bleach tour, when Nirvana opened for TAD. I agree with you, Andrea.. there should be a bootleg floating around of the original Nevermind master, the one by Butch Vig.. much rawer and truer than the watered-down production that hit the market.

    ps. I'm also envious of that friend of mine who saw them at the peak of punk destruction! In Rome, Cobain was really in bad shape from what I remember (not that I was in a better spot at the time) :D Anyway, yes, I caught them in extremis, considering that a couple of months later...
  • aerdna
    25 jun 13
    Oh, the Bleach tour must have been something incredible. I loved/love the TAD so much too. As for this live show in Rome from '91, judge for yourselves I just think that in '91 they were rightly at the peak of their form. They were great afterwards too, but less devastating and more devastated (in a negative sense). As for the nice definition of madcat, it must be said that with the success that came, they wallowed quite a bit in the "shitty system"... I don't want to judge Cobain's choice to escape from it, but the post-'91 "poses" are well documented. At least in the concerts they maintained a minimum of genuineness, despite all the problems with Kurdt and the band itself.
  • aerdna

    P.S. "In Utero" anyway great.

    "Nevermind, In Utero" two great albums, surely among the best 20 of the '90s.
  • madcat
    26 jun 13
    Hi aerdna and thanks for the "beautiful definition," but I didn’t understand what you mean by "pose" post-91. Moreover, genuineness was one of Cobain's main characteristics. I also disagree with the idea of wallowing in the system: Cobain had an absolute rage, bitterness, and contempt against it; his records are (also) this.
  • aerdna
    26 jun 13
    I mean to say that, with success, the boundary between "I do it because I'm forced, but it really annoys me" and "let's flaunt the fact that I'm extremely annoyed and show our disgust, after all, I can do whatever the hell I want" is very thin... Between this Ingrandisci questa immagine and this Ingrandisci questa immagine or between this Ingrandisci questa immagine and this Ingrandisci questa immagine there is a very subtle and imperceptible difference at its core... But it exists. Quite normal, I would say. And anyway, yes, Cobain was definitely more genuine than many others, considering he didn’t even reach 30 years of age. There was some reversal with the release of Incesticide. However, some lapses in "style" (compared to what it was at the beginning) were evident...
  • aerdna

    In general, I never thought much of him, but who cares... he left behind quite a bit of music that I like, and in the end, that matters more.
