Always wondered how Grohl and Novoselic got co-writing credit on just “Scentless Apprentice”.
It's the only song on the album not originated by Kurt: https://www.stereogum.com/2029102/dave-grohl-demo-krist-novoselic-rey-washam-scentless-apprentice/music/

xpost I think Kurt envied those people, certainly didn't dislike them.

I like them as songs but I was never crazy about the singles choices for this album, I just think it would have been quite the left turn had the first or second single been “Milk It”, or “Scentless..”
Or to put it another way - Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium etc are together broadly representative of Nevermind. Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies don’t really hint at what is essentially noise-rock in several of the album tracks.

xpost no not at all, me and said friend used to jokingly make stuff up in one context and milk it (pun intended) all dry.

In Utero might be the hardest, loudest, punkest album to top the Billboard chart unless I subtract "punkest," which would allow Metallica and Def Leppard and Zep to join in the fun.

I was about to say that it must have more feedback than any other #1 album, but then I remembered that Electric Ladyland and the Woodstock soundtrack both hit #1.

xposts to Master, yeah, I remember as a teen trying to get into rock music and hearing "All Apologies" and telling my friend excitedly and he was like "lol none of the rest of teh album is like that"

“You Know You’re Right” suggests a heavier (and better) direction they were heading in in comparison to some of the hypotheses upthread

“all apologies” may not be as noisy but it’s maybe the most brutal and intense on the album emotionally.. a different kind of heavy..

It's a great one

Also, it is pretty noisy too.

esp the whole climax post-buried which is like a contaminated noise that is barely able to stand up.

it has the most crushing drumming as well, with the possible exceptions of Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zep IV only a No. 2 album on Billboard tho (but it did top Cash Box and Record World). To the US what DSOTM is to the UK.

This is pretty well done. Really enjoy the Scentless Apprentice, Milk It, and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.

OMG, Scentless Apprentice is the sound of the most palm sweaty boss battle of all time. It's stressing me out.
