Amazon.co.uk Review: Overwhelmed by sudden success, Nirvana promised to take a harsher, more abrasive route on their second major-label release. Enlisting Chicago-based noise maven Steve Albini (of Big Black fame), Kurt Cobain and company succeeded in producing a record that was violent, disillusioned, and deeply moving. Every song reads like a commentary on the cost of fame ("Serve the Servants") and the unhealthy relationship between performer and fan ("Milk It"). Of course, they might all simply be about Courtney Love. Gossip aside, there is no denying the sheer power of Cobain's song-writing, his singing, and the band's amazing, visceral power. Cobain even manages a John Lennon-like mantra at the end of the heart-wrenching "All Apologies". "All in all is all we are," he intones repeatedly, only for Cobain that's no consolation. --Percy Keegan

Mostly unlistenable poor little popular rich kid angst/complaint rock - very poor - rape me is good mind
Rating: - Excellent, Just As Good As NEVERMIND
This album is quite different to Nevermind. It is more gritty and less mainstream. Each song has a distorted sound to it but this album is still just as enjoyable as Nevermind is. It is less mainstream, more shouty and screamy and no polish is to be found anywhere on this album.
The best song on the album is 'Milk It'. With the awesome shout-along chorus to the excellent guitar rift the song is this albums 'Smells Like teen Spirit'. Just more gritty. The song is just amazing! I cannot ... Read More
Rating: - what a record.
We bought a new stereo in August. It's well good. I like how, when you buy a new stereo that sounds great, you keep thinking of old records from your collection and wondering how they will sound on your new system. The latest record to be put to the test was Nirvana's "In Utero". To be honest, I don't think I've listened to it for about four years, but it dates right back to when I really started my record collection.
I heard "Nevermind" when it came out, but to be honest, I didn't get it. ... Read More
Rating: - Rather disappointing
Having heard a great deal about the supposedly legendary Mr Cobain and chums, I thought I'd try one of their efforts. I know Nevermind was the 'classic' but i decided that In Utero would be better option, (foolishly, it seems). I think the album basically shows a man at breaking point but instead of producing beautiful melodies, (all apologies would be the exception) he yells about everyone being gay and him wanting to be (politely) raped.
Ironically the aforementioned song is one of the highlights ... Read More
Rating: - Teen Spirit? Not at all . . .
This is Nirvana. If you have only heard Nevermind, shame on you. This is the album that truly defines Nirvana and Kurdt Kobain. This album is about Courtney, Frances Bean, Don Cobain (Kurt's father) & heroin addiction. Track 1, Serve The Servants is about Courtney's portrayl by the media (self appointed judges judge/If She floats then she is not a witch like we thought) & Don. 'I tried hard to have a father but instead I had a Dad. I just want you to know that I don't hate you anymore, there is nothing ... Read More
