In Utero

Nirvana
Released 1993Alternative & Indie
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

Raw, abrasive and uncompromising, the band's response to sudden fame, recorded with Steve Albini for maximum bite. Beneath the noise are some of Cobain's strongest melodies. A harrowing, honest record. Released in 1993, it's a key entry in Nirvana's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
