Editorial Reviews
...IN UTERO is a profoundly confused record...neither totally a self-destructive squall of hardcore nihilism...nor NEVERMIND II....As a document of a mind in flux, Kurt should be proud of it...
NME

Ranked #30 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - ...this attempt to re-invent the Seattle-ites as an unknown, low-fi punk group was doomed--Kurt Cobain's sense of melody was just too strong to be drowned in dissonance and noise....
NME

Ranked #4 in The NME Top 30 Heartbreak Albums.
NME

...IN UTERO nearly topples under the weight of contempt and vitriol....there is a clear authorial voice on [the album] detailing a life in transition....Mr. Cobain [has been] turned nearly nihilistic by good fortune...
New York Times

Ranked #40 in Mojo's Top 50 Punk Albums - ...Cobain's voice is frightening, like Rotten 17 years on...
Mojo

Ranked #13 in Mojo's 100 Modern Classics -- [U]ncompromising, uncomfortable, exhilarating art.
Mojo

Ranked #2 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
Village Voice (19940301)

...IN UTERO is a living, breathing, crapping beast of a record that eats expectations for breakfast...
Musician (19931001)

...the history of the last two fraught years weighs mighty heavily upon IN UTERO....it occupies a middle ground between the metal-edged, scum-punk spite of BLEACH and the 10-million selling, grunge-with-gloss killer that was NEVERMIND...
Melody Maker (19930904)

Ranked #26 in Melody Maker's list of the `Albums Of The Year' for 1993.
Melody Maker (19940101)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...[IN UTERO's] songs confirm Cobain's genius with a tune....If this is how Cobain is going to develop, the future is lighthouse-bright...

Q (20010701)

...IN UTERO makes it clear that the trio now has a signature sound ready for the patent office....Cobain writes terrifically punchy songs and [the band] ravages them into beautiful, brutalizing clatter... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (19930924)

Ranked #5 in Entertainment Weekly's list of `The Best & Worst Records Of 1993' - ...In unleashed wails that truly sound like someone giving birth, Cobain does more than wrestle his demons in public--he strangles them....
Entertainment Weekly (19931231)

...IN UTERO is as reckless as anything since Rocket From the Tombs went down in flames....it's not liberation but its absence that gets illuminated in Nirvana's songs....setting out to make the last punk album, [IN UTERO] sounds like the first one instead...

4 1/2 Stars - Outstanding - ...Cobain essentially works according to one playbook, but it's a winner no matter how he runs it....IN UTERO is a lot of things--brilliant, corrosive, enraged and thoughtful, most of them all at once...
