Mad beat poet fronting a junkyard jazz ensemble that would make Tom Waits proud. Absurdist lyrics at their best. It's too bad they never came close to matching this stunning debut again.

The suffocating claustrophobic production that just lets the vocal or guitar tracks shine through in all their pained, cracked & haunting glory is stunning, but occasionally robs this album of the visceral punch that nevermind and bleach delivered in spades. It's like the drums and bass are being attacked by cotton balls muting them before they can escape. I'm positive this was done intentionally to evoke the feeling of living in boredom and ambivalence as Kurt was being ground down by not only the trappings of celebrity life but chronic abdominal pain (and living with the Courtney. She could wear anyone down.) Essential!
Nevermind > Bleach > In Utero >> Unplugged = Incesticide
