In Utero, of course, turned out to be Nirvana's last record and it's hard not to hear it as Kurt Cobain's suicide note, since the stark, uncompromising sound provides the perfect setting for Cobain's bleak, even nihilistic, lyrics.

Even if the album wasn't a literal suicide note, it was certainly a conscious attempt to shed the band's audience -- an attempt that worked, by the way, since the record had lost its momentum when Cobain died in the spring of 1994. Even though Nirvana tempered some of the extreme tactics, the record remains a deliberately alienating experience, front-loaded with many of its strongest songs, then descending into a series of brief, dissonant squalls before concluding with "All Apologies," which only gets sadder with each passing year.

Throughout it all, Cobain's songwriting is typically haunting, and its best moments rank among his finest work, but the dynamism of the recording seems like a way to camoflauge his dispiritedness.

In Utero remains a shattering listen, whether it's viewed as Cobain's farewell letter or self-styled audience alienation. Few other records are as willfully difficult as this.
