Much like on every other site ever, I don't see why everyone loves In Utero so much; always found it the most boring and detached of Nirvana's catalog.
I hear where you're coming from Gowi. Here's what I thought after listening to it this morning with your comment in mind...
The suffocating claustrophobic production that occasionally 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/detachment 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!

Despite the fact it ended up following the overall rankings, this was actually a great great thread. Really illuminating and pointed out how varied the opinions on Nirvana's discog is. And damn it was really close! Even Bleach hung in there pretty good. _________________ -Ryan
