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!

Essential
1. Nevermind
2. Bleach
3. In Utero
Solid Additions
4. Unplugged (the version of Pennyroyal Tea here slays me. Tracks 3, 4, 5, 6, & 14 send shivers up my spine.)
5. Incesticide (Tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 14, & 15 kick serious ass)
