News The Album that The Artists Nirvana Never Revisited
In Utero – Nirvana
Any grunge fan was probably hoping to see an album like Nirvana’s Nevermind top a list like this. Kurt Cobain famously hated the mixes of the album that made him a star and wasn’t all that comfortable with what fame did for him after he became the voice of a generation. While In Utero was meant to be the angsty follow-up that gave them more credibility, Dave Grohl was never satisfied when he went back to listen to it.
Then again, much of that can be attributed to what happened afterwards. Even though Grohl was proud of his drum sound on the record and would even play a lot of the songs live on their stadium tour, the aftermath of Cobain’s passing in 1994 really paints the lyrics in a different light, especially songs about profiting off of teen angst and the frontman screaming his brains out about his inner turmoil.
When talking about songs like ‘Scentless Apprentice’, Grohl said that he still felt uncomfortable listening to the album, seeing less of the songs and more of the death of his friend as he moved further along. If anything, that’s really a testament to what the band created. Cobain may have been going through pain, but maybe by laying it out bare for the world to see, he may have helped other people deal with their own pain.
