In Utero, recorded by Steve Albini, is Nirvana's third & final studio record. Nirvana specifically chose Steve Albini as the producer they wanted to work with for In Utero, despite their record label's objections. This set the ground work for what would end up becoming a strenuous situation for Nirvana & in particular for Steve Albini. Despite this, Steve Albini managed to record what many consider to be Nirvana's greatest work. Nirvana's lineup during In Utero was Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic & Dave Grohl. In this video, Steve Albini discusses his experience recording In Utero, how Kurt Cobain recorded songs, Dave Grohl's drumming style, the issue with Nirvana's record label and much more. This is my second interview with Steve Albini, my first interview with him was for my documentary 'Rock is Dead?'
In Utero's track listing consists of: Serve the Servants, Scentless Apprentice, Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Dumb, Very Ape, Milk It, Pennyroyal Tea, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourette's, All Apologies. Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip appears as a bonus track on non-US CD pressings.
Bleach's track listing consists of: Blew, Floyd the Barber, About a Girl, School, Love Buzz" (Shocking Blue cover), Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, Scoff, Swap Meet, Mr. Moustache, Sifting. Big Cheese & Downer are bonus tracks on most later reissues.
Nevermind's track listing consists of: Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are, Breed, Lithium, Polly, Territorial Pissings, Drain You, Lounge Act, Stay Away, On A Plain, Something In The Way & the hidden track Endless, Nameless.
Incesticide's track listing consists of: Dive, Sliver, Stain, Been a Son, Turnaround, Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, (New Wave) Polly, Beeswax, Downer, Mexican Seafood, Hairspray Queen, Aero Zeppelin, Big Long Now, Aneurysm.

@nuke97 Жыл бұрын

People gloss over the fact that Cobain was a prolific writer. He basically came out the gate writing dozens of songs. Plus all members that have worked with Nirvana would say they would rehearse endlessly. Some members would even say that the constant rehearsal and repeating songs over and over again would get to them. So knocking out his own music in one take reflects his incredible work ethic as a musician and writer.

@cactaceous 5 ай бұрын

He was prolific at first. By 1992 most of the songs for In Utero had already been not only written but also played live. After the success of Nevermind it seems he was not prolific at all. He only wrote a few new songs to have enough for a full album. People have said that Kurt had written an album worth of new songs, possibly for a solo album but no proof of it really exists other than some very rudimentary not very serious demos that were used for the Montage of Heck documentary. I doubt those are what people mean.

@nzelver559 Ай бұрын

That is impressive - Axl Rose is also someone who wrote a lot of his own songs. They are actually both very similar even though they hated each other. I think when you have emotionally invested into writing and also singing a song - you are way more likely to want to perfect it than someone who's basically hired to play an instrument to help said singer/writer perform that song.

@stoneysdead689 Ай бұрын

@@nzelver559 Producers, if that is who you are trying to refer to- want to perfect everything they record just as much as the person who wrote and performed it- trust me. They're not hired to just play an instrument and help the singer perform- that's a studio musician, who generally speaking is 10x better than the average guy playing in any band- trust me. Studio musicians are widely considered the best of the best- ppl like Steve Lukather, Larry Carlton, Chet Adkins, Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco, Leon Russel, Micheal Landau, Steve Gadd, and the list goes on and on. These ppl make their name on these songs, of course they want them to be perfect- at least their part. If it's not- you're only as good as your last performance- and the next band that needs someone- won't call on you. That said- Nirvana had no need of studio musicians, they had legendary musicians in their band- the kinds of musicians who would've been great studio musicians themselves if they wanted to go that route. The most common players to be replaced by studio musicians are the bassist and the drummer- and Nirvana had Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic- no one is replacing either of those guys. It wouldn't be Nirvana anymore.

I remember being really excited ten years ago for the 20th Anniversay when they re-released In Utero because it had the OG Albini mixes of "Heart Shaped Box" and "All Apologies" included in one of the deluxe versions. I wish for the 30th that they'd re-release it but with Steve's mixes because I read somewhere that he had done all of the album. In Utero is my favorite Nirvana album and I die on that hill when it comes to talking about Nirvana with people when talking about music.

@rlukins Жыл бұрын

I think the original release is all Albini mixes, except for the singles which Litt remixed. So with the Albini HSB and AA, that’s essentially the original Albini mix of the record. He also did a new remix of the whole record for the 2013 deluxe release. It interesting to listen to, if a little weird after all these years of knowing the original.

Got to respect Albini's integrity, and modesty. What he did what actually Highly admirable. True, in his hypothetical scenario, the man who merely Refrains from joining others in despicable behavior isn't Necessarily particularly noble. But the analogy isn't quite apt, as it does not posit that the one who holds aloof stands to make a fortune if he joins in with the mob. Albini turned his back on certain vast wealth, paying off in perpetuity, just to stay true to his principles - and in the process jeopardized his career. With regard to Novoselic's bass-playing, on In Utero he plays in the way Albini describes - mainly a supporting role in the soundscape, and indeed the bass is mixed in a way where its main function is to supply low end to songs. On Nevermind, however, his basslines are much more integral and crucial to certain songs' Musical success. For instance, on Lithium he plays a verse line that alternates between just root notes for one bar and then an octave-up descending counter Melody the next bar. Likewise, in the song's chorus he starts with root notes mirroring Cobain's guitar, then goes up an octave to play an inventive, ornamental descending line. These two contributions, devised by Novoselic, make a Huge difference - to such a degree that without them Lithium might not have been a hit. On top of that, Novoselic's timing and Feel are impeccable, always nicely locking in with Grohl's drumming. And just the right amount of fills, trills, slurs, etc.

Astonishing - Kurt did all the vocals (pretty much) in one sitting ? Wow. Just that statement alone shows how talented and professional Kurt was. The vocals on that album are probably in the top three greatest pure rock and roll vocals ever recorded. Very glad to hear this- I love all the sounds on In Utero- the guitars sound beautifully brutal ; Grohl’s drums are huge, the bass is perfectly mixed; and the vocals are incredibly raw- what really strikes me on the Albini mix is the room sound- you really hear the natural reverb on Milk It and Scentless Apprentice.

9:14 - Steve's explanation about the merit of capturing the complete ensemble playing together simultaneously sounds similar to ideas I've heard Max Norman suggest. Max explained it as the capability of musicians to "provide and accept feedback" from their fellow performers, in real time, whereas with multitracking/piecemeal recording a song, the tape reel or computer is not going accept feedback if you're playing along with say, the drummer or the bassist or a backing track.

Regarding the label hating the album just goes to show you the label want's nothing but brainwashed material. In utero is a highly creative album with great sound from all the personnel involved, and especially the song writing is amazing. In utero in my opinion is one of the best records ever made.

The man recorded The Jesus Lizard's GOAT. And Shellac's Action Park release is maybe the best sounding record ever. And Big Black...man, that Albini sound sure do get around. Genius. Or a savant.

The Jesus Lizard. My third favorite Texas band after the Butthole Surfers and Reverend Horton Heat and amazing live. I hear they're touring again - a new album would be incredible

Love the stories and hearing Steve talking in general, but I just wish that when listening to the full interview that there weren't so many topics repeated. Seems like it would be more effective for you to export the full interview first so that it's all in sequence and it doesn't repeat. The royalty answer and the drum recording answer both played twice. So yeah maybe if you export the full interview first but wait to post it til after you've done your clips?

Hey man thanks for the heads up! Didn't realize that, do you remember where in the video those clips repeat? I can edit it internally on youtube

if you like your Rock Hard Pure and Uncut as I do, In Utero is as good as gets... Nevermind has the better tunes, but In Utero is the better album as one continuous listen as the group dynamics and Kurt's creativity and Dave's drumming are just full volume awesomeness... fax!!!
