In Utero 20th Annivesary
This past week Nirvana's In Utero was re-released in "deluxe" formats, similar to that of Nevermind's re-release 2 years ago. With that being said, In Utero will always be unfairly compared to the juggernaut known as "Nevermind." Nevermind was a one in a million album no doubt, but In Utero is really good too. It was purposely made to sound different to alienate the sheep that clung to Nevermind because it was the popular thing to like at the time. A cool bonus with the super deluxe version is the "Live and Loud" performance from December 13, 1993 (my birthday no less). This has never been released before, and you can only find certain clips on YouTube. Everything I've seen of it, it looks like a great performance. Kurt's voice sounds great, and the In Utero songs translate really well to a live setting. (Much better than a lot of the Nevermind songs) If you got a Nirvana fan in the house, this would be a good Christmas present...
