From Amazon.co.uk
Overwhelmed by sudden success, Nirvana promised to take a harsher, more abrasive route on their second major-label release. Enlisting Chicago-based noise maven Steve Albini (of Big Black fame), Kurt Cobain and company succeeded in producing a record that was violent, disillusioned, and deeply moving. Every song reads like a commentary on the cost of fame ("Serve the Servants") and the unhealthy relationship between performer and fan ("Milk It"). Of course, they might all simply be about Courtney Love. Gossip aside, there is no denying the sheer power of Cobain's song-writing, his singing, and the band's amazing, visceral power. Cobain even manages a John Lennon-like mantra at the end of the heart-wrenching "All Apologies". "All in all is all we are," he intones repeatedly, only for Cobain that's no consolation. --Percy Keegan

Chronique amazon.fr
Avec In Utero, Kurt Cobain était attendu au tournant. Comment succéder à l'incontournable Nevermind sans décevoir, alors que "Smells Like Teen Spirit" est entre temps devenu l'hymne d'une génération, l'équivalent de ce que fut "My Generation" des Who aux années 70? Kurt Cobain n'a jamais rien eu d'un messie et à cette question oiseuse, il répond par un autre brûlot illuminé par les étincelants "Heart Shaped Box" et "Rape Me". Deux bombes incendiaires à faire passer Led Zeppelin pour des enfants de chœur. Déjà, la lassitude pointe, dès les paroles du premier morceau, mais l'ensemble se révèle cinglant comme un coup de trique, sec et dépouillé par le minimalisme hardcore du producteur Steve Albini. Le disque devait s'intituler "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die". Prémonitoire ricaneront les corbeaux. Certes. Mais, attention: chef d'œuvre. --Philippe Robert
