Nirvana In Utero Vinyl 20th Anniversary

After the disappointment that was the 20th anniversary of nevermind poor loudness war mastering being a big complaint of many it is a relief and a delight to report that the 20th anniversary edition of in utero is great.

Nirvana in utero vinyl 20th anniversary.

To say that nirvana s third and ultimately final studio album in utero was 1993 s most polarizing record would be the understatement of a decade. I would personally award in utero 4 stars out of 5 if reviewing it based on it s music alone. The in utero 20th anniversary 3 lp deluxe edition features the original album newly remastered on 2 lps at 45rpm the complete b sides alternate mixes and demos on 1 lp at 33 1 3 rpm. On the deluxe edition cd you also get a 2013 remix of the album also mixed by steve albini.

The unadorned sonic rawness of steve albini s recording laid bare every primal nuance of the most confrontational yet vulnerable material kurt cobain krist novoselic and dave grohl would ever record. 20th anniversary edition pressed on 180g vinyl including 5 previously unreleased tracks.
