    I was ready to hate that album but in the end, I think it's not that bad... There is some surprising things on this (I'm talking of "Things" coz you can't really call any of those tracks "Songs" so...) I especially liked Burn the Rain & The Happy Guitar... the 1988 Commercial is funny also.

    If you're planning to buy the album buy the Deluxe version absolutely, because all the best    I was ready to hate that album but in the end, I think it's not that bad...

    If you're planning to buy the album buy the Deluxe version absolutely, because all the best "things" are there and not on the non-Deluxe. Still, the album isn't necessary at all... but it's an interestingly weird listening.    … Expand

    To be honest, this whole album can be summed up in one word. This word would be disappointment. I honestly thought it would be better since well, it is Kurt Cobain. BUT NOPE! At least his voice is good but other than that I do not have anything good to say about this album.

    Nirvana is one of my favorite bands of all time. "In utero" is my personal favorite album from them....its just has more depth behind it opposed to their break through album "Nevermind". If your a fan of Nirvana you will love this release....But im here to rant about what Nirvana has became to a new generation of scene kids....it was already bad....but it seems to be getting worse.

Kurt Cobain is no Jesus....the guy was a Junkie....im sick of these scene kids and other Grunge acts making him out to be this creative Genius...yes he was talented...yes he was a very creative and really changed the grunge scene....but he himself is no Jesus...he screwed up...and he killed himself because of his screw ups....I just sick of these teenage girls and guys making him out to be their hero and then posting all this suicidal crap....its **** immature and stupid....please stop it.....suicide is **** you wanna die go get help instead of parading it on your twitter, instagram, tumblr posts. **** its annoying.… Expand

    this is a awesome album, but unfortunately many songs of this album it's just demos of songs that fans already know, just a few songs in this album was never released,but well nirvana is a machine to make money

    É incrível como esse álbum transpira a caça-níquel. O material apresentado deveria estar apenas no documentário, pois é desagradável demais ouvir isso como música. O álbum tem até faixas que dá vergonha de ouvir. É. Não há uma música que se salve.

    While there are a few pops and crackles of magic--it's often dead air. [Jan 2016, p.114]

    It's hard to imagine even hardcore fans listening to this twice, as it sounds too much like an empty barrel being scraped. [Jan 2016, p.106]

    The Home Recordings largely serve as a further step back along the creative path, to a point where we either see songs at their most infantile stage or at a crossroads where Cobain, the tireless perfectionist, probably realised he could take them no further.
