In Utero [PA] by Nirvana (USA) (CD, Sep-1993, Geffen Records USA)

The Kings of Grunge Rock follow-up to the mega successful "Nevermind" prove that fame and recognition have not spoiled them. "In Utero" has a grungier flavor than the commerical appeal of "Nevermind". Quite simply, "In Utero" is grunge in it's purest form. The musical genius of Kurt Cobain is spot on with his collaborations of melodies, gitty guitar riffs, and intimate lyrics. Fellow Nirvana cohorts, the multi-talented Dave Grohl, vocal harmonies with Cobain and skilled drumming is brilliant, bassist Krist Novoselic is equally relevant to the rythmic foundation of this dymanic trio that defined the grunge sound. I find the sheer rawiness of "In Utero" to be a fresh shining beacon of Seattle's underground sound that captured the world and changed music forever!
