Don't get me wrong, I actually LOVE the mix of this album. Andy Wallace is EXTREMELY talented (listen to the first Rage Against the Machine album and the first White Zombie albums again to get an idea how awesome he really is)... I, personally think this album sounds SOOOOOOOO much better than the sound Steve Albini got out of the band on In Utero (of course he's also the producer of one of the greatest performances vs. unlistenable mix/mastering albums of all time: PJ Harvey's Rid of Me... I actually wanted to personally STRANGLE Albini after trying to listen to that record---can SOMEONE remix it for a reissue...PLEASE??????)....
And of course Cobain famously thought the record sounded overproduced and hired Albini as a result--- yet that's never covered here either... (IMHO, Cobain was wrong).
this IS a classic album and this is a great documentary about it--- but it should be presented warts and all....
Nevermind as a LP/CD has fantastic music, drove everyone nuts back in the day and opened the door for the Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Sound Garden types. ALL of which ADDED something the others did not have! What a great time to be 22 years old I now realise! Saw Nirvana live in 1993 and before that, I hardly knew their music but I researched and found a great backstory about them and was hooked. In Utero was my favorite album. If you enjoy Nirvana in the least pick this up. Great insight on how the album came to be, was recorded, how it was received and how it changed music at that time...literally overnight. I remember when they hit they made it big and FAST...was insane. I can't think of anyone recent that last did this...which is sad really. Current generations have no defining group that speaks for them..just the same old crap recycled. This era was a breath of fresh air. Like Dave Grohl says in it, he would be nothing if it wasn't for the other 2 members and music would not be the same without all 3 of them.
Only complaint is that the sound format is Dolby 2.0, video is a decent 16X9 1.85 format and looks quite nice. Reissue this on Blu-ray with added footage, use a updated audio format and you are set.
Highly recommended.
The doc goes through the tracks with in-depth analysis, and also talks to Grohl, Novoselic, Butch Vig and others.
There's not much else to say about the piece, except that if you love Nirvana, you'll probably find this completely absorbing.
And check the deleted scenes, too; I was surprised at how much important stuff was there. The documentary itself is only 48 min., so I'm not sure why they cut out scenes such as the analysis of "Drain You"; a section about Grohl's joining of the band (it's tough to overstate the importance of that addition to the band); a funny anecdote about the band's stymied attempt to travel from Seattle to L.A. to begin pre-production; and a look at the cover art that actually talks to the baby on the album cover -- now a likable and very hip-looking teenager.
This installment in the series is one of the better ones.
