Thread 127112084

I really wish we could've got a 4th from them.

>>127112084 (OP)
That is correct.

>>127112084 (OP)
I always was intrigued about this album's tracklist consisting of couples of songs (at least) that work with the same musical theme/motif, feeling like two sides of the same song
>Very Ape/Tourettes
>Serve the servants/ Frances farmer will have her revenge
>All Apologies/Pennyroyal tea/Dumb
>Scentless Apprentice/Radio friendly unit shifter
Not sure if it was deliberate, or if they were genuinely running out of creativity. I don't think that a fourth album was going to happen anyway. We more than likely would have gotten a Kurt solo album had he not croaked, pulling from different influences than we got so far.

>>127112084 (OP)
I always wonder what the 4th album would have sounded like. Kurt had a different answer every time he was asked, once he said he wanted to get into more of an REM Automatic for the People sound, another time he said he wanted to keep the In Utero sound, he also said he wanted to go more stripped down and acoustic. Who knows, all we have is these two last songs that are very different from each other but have a very distinct In Utero sound.

I think on the 4th album Kurt was gonna finally approach what happened on that fateful sizzling summer night in 1992

Unwound is the canon continuation of Nirvana.

>>127112406
Do Re Mi was supposed to be the "Beatles" sound one.

You know you're right was something else.

>>127112115
Actually, I would like to retract this statement.

It's not great anymore, I've listened to it too much over the years. It's still really good but it's lost a lot of its edge now. I stuck it on a while ago, then at around Frances I put on The Brazilian by Genesis (it's just a song, not an album), as something had reminded me of it, and listened to that twice. The, when I came back to In Utero, and it just sounded so dull in comparison to the Genesis tune. So, in summery:

The Brazilian, is great

In Utero, is not.

Hope that doesn't upset too many of you.

>>127112406
Probably get Old Age back, polish it.

>>127112417
no correlation between them whatsoever. unwound's catalog would be the exact same had nirvana never existed.

>>127112458
>in summery
Good morning, sar

>>127112473
Nah man I'm just high

>>127112462
that's not true. olympia bands were absolutely influenced by their role models, mudhoney and nirvana (themselves an olympia band)

>>127112477
Come to my country and throw lavish party

I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

>>127112489
i can see the traces of mudhoney in there somewhere, owing to their seniority in the washington scene, but as far as nirvana goes i really don't. they took cues from the same bands, but approached music differently. unwound never got as melodic as nirvana ; and nirvana never got as angular as unwound. but i guess you could draw a parallel between rock trios that liked to get really noisy.

>>127112610
It was impossible to evade nirvana's influence during that time, especially as unwound, who were still in high school in olympia. Fake Train and Incesticide/In utero are for me the same style of melodic noise rock between the wipers, jesus lizard and scratch acid. at least two other anons lumped those bands together as well. but they changed radically from fake train to NPI and never recaptured that FT sound.

>>127112084 (OP)
best nirvana album

>>127112274
>or if they were genuinely running out of creativity
Most of the songs on the album were written before Nevermind came out kek.
>>127112610
I saw an interview once where Justin Trosper specifically cited Nirvana as an influence on the band's sound, but he clarified that they primarily inspired the sound of their early material (so the first 2 or 3 albums presumably).

>>127112786
no doubt, to me only Fake Train and In Utero capture that sound. https://numerogroup.com/blogs/stories/giant-henry-we-gotta-be-involved

>You were born minutes from the epicenter of grunge, yet nothing could be more removed from grunge than Unwound's music. Can you tell me something about your musical/cultural/personal development?
>I guess in a way we were reacting to grunge. The Seattle pseudo-rock star thing was really uninspiring and cynical. We were into the Melvins alot and Nirvana, but more influenced by the DC punk thing happening back then and just more interesting US hardcore(husker du/black flag/mission of burma) and punk from England(wire/gang of 4/joy division).

>On this album I hear more Neil Young and Nirvana than in previous ones: comment?
>I like the album "Trans" by Neil Young and that song Cortez The Killer, but I'm not a freak. Nirvana, I dont know, they were more of an early influence.

totally unrelated to nirvana and their sound. off topic basically

>>127112834
>t. proud owner of a "didn't read award"

>>127112841
not denying the content of your post, just gotta remind people that nirvana weren't grunge or trying to be a hard rock band.

>>127112851
What were they, then?

>>127112857
noise rock. sometimes even post-hardcore. they had nothing to do with those hard rock people from Seattle (Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden). Kurt barely knew those people.

>>127112857
Pop rock. They're just the American Beatles.

>>127112878
>>127112915
I liked the "alternative" label.

Or just a punk-hybrid band.

>>127112688
>>127112786
>>127112814
alright, since the guys themselves said it, i won't argue against it. those two bands still don't register as an example of linear continuity in my mind. what i meant was that i can trace a line from the ramones to nirvana, but unwound, for me, leapfrogs the ramones and ties its lineage more directly to the stooges and later on to black flag's sludgier works and all that stuff. but whatever, it don't matter.

>>127112878
>post-hardcore
Nope

It feels to me like the band wasn't going to last much longer, should Kurt have decided to stay with us, Dave was already thinking about something like what FF would become and krist was likely tired too. If they had released new material though it'd be pretty cool.

>>127112931
In Utero is a cliche post-hardcore album. they even got albini lol
>>127112930
I think kurt would've tried to piss of more fans and embracing slint-like sounds would've been one possibility. but maybe he would've turned acoustic instead

>>127112417
>woman in the band
No. No band with a female member in it has ever been very good

>>127112955
Fuck the music industry, though.
I'm on vacation.

>>127112958
Yeah then completely re-did everything because Kurt's a poser. They're not a post-hardcore band and never will.

Have to ask, what do you listen to?

>>127113012
Don't care. Not post-hardcore.

Not the same anon.
Do you have autism?

Do you? Don't care about punk ethos or whatever cops you gotta come up with. They weren't and never will be post-hardcore

>>127112406
Tbh, it would've been travel the world to pick up different sounds and making acoustic stuff with influences from the world.

i'm amazed by how few covers there are of kurt's unreleased stuff, you wouldn't expect that from a world famous band.
i'm dying for a proper versions of these

You probably just have bad ADHD and should get a prescription for stimulant medication. An Adderal would get you in the mood for that album, I know there's diff albums for diff moods but you seem like a tourist than a ride or die long time music lover. Probably the guy that would prefer to listen at home on your god send audio set up than be around sweaty stinky hippies dancing and smoking too much pot for their own good
Also probably don't like cute college chicks rubbing up against you in the circle pit but what ev's
Some people are bolder than others. If you touch dirt then maybe you'll open up a little bit

>>127113327
I do have ADHD, although you couldn't be more wrong about my interest in music. I listen through headphones 90% of the time. I like fucking impoverished farm hand's prostitute daughters in Thailand. I once jumped off a second floor balcony, kneeing myself in the face on landing and giving myself a black eye and a busted lip. The knee prevented me from touching the dirt, sad to say.

>>127112462
Nirvana was obviously an influence on unwound. There are numerous times where Justin does a kurt impression vocally and there is plenty of overlap with their sound

>>127113002
>Yeah then completely re-did everything because Kurt's a poser.
Kurt was a poser, sure, but the finished album largely kept Albini's mixes. Heart Shaped Box, All Apologies, and Pennyroyal Tea were the the ones that got remixes.

>>127113025
>>127113067
Two shitty bands

michael stipe of REM said nirvana's next album would have been less abrasive and featured more string instrumentation.

>>127112414
huh wat u mean?

>>127112084 (OP)
some of the songs are pretty weak in my opinion

>>127112084 (OP)
How different would this album have sounded if not for that sizzling summer night in 92?

>>127115177
It's a bit autistic how much you keep prattling on about a lie.
Or you're just a retard.

>>127114641
So you don't know?

No. Third was the charm.

>>127115177
I think there was gonna be a clear rap influence based on the sheer amount of black Kurt had in him at the time

>>127115315
>>127115326

I never knew anyone in the 80's who liked the Smiths that wasn't either a homosexual or a fat girl. But I'm American, I assume it was different in England. I've heard they're more down with homos there.
The popularity the Smiths have with zoomers is baffling and honestly disturbing to me. It's a sign of how effeminate your generation has become.
Nirvana is better than that simply because Nirvana rocks, whereas the Smiths is whiny & gay.
t. Gen X

>>127115315
Nah that's you

>>127112786
>Most of the songs on the album were written before Nevermind came out kek.

That's one thing that surprised me when I digged into the history of the songs. I wondered then if maybe Kurt had developed some form of writer's block near the end.

>>127115750
Just say you're fucking retarded and you don't get it. Moz is an incredible singer and the greatest lyricist to ever live. His songwriting partnership with Johnny Marr is a once in a lifetime event and they literally never wrote a bad song together. You add in Andy, who is probably the most underrated and overlooked bassist, and you have the perfect storm. I know you can't ant see past your Kurt glazing but there is more to life than shitty Pixies rip off music and teen angst.

>>127115750
based

>>127117862
>I wondered then if maybe Kurt had developed some form of writer's block near the end
He definitely did. There's only so many great songs he can write with mostly power chords.

>>127118330
>Just say you're fucking retarded
just say you're gay KEK

>>127119132
Why not try having an actual argument? Could it be that you don't have one?

>>127118767
It's true.

You know what's funny? I was watching that new doc about Failure - their record was produced by Albini in his studio right after In Utero and their drums sounds the same as Grohl's.

Scentless Apprentice is probably my favorite Nirvana song, that record is so good. I also love the Smiths! Wouldn't dream of comparing the two.

>>127120144
where is the doc

>>127120144
You'll notice a lot of bands started trying to copy Nirvana.
Which is ironic because Kurt drew inspiration from other bands.

It's ironic because dumpshits like Corgan got all "stops copsies me"

>>127120480
he mogged everyone else

>>127120522
What does mog even mean?

>>127120601
>>127120609
>t. obsessed stealth Nirvana fan

>>127120212
love that song

>>127120537
the term mog originates in lookism/incel (non-pejorative) culture. it derives from the phrase "alpha Male Of Group," essentially saying that someone was the most high status male of a sampled group. so it has eventually come to mean something that is better than the rest, to the point of making whatever it is being compared to look worse. in pic related, the man on the right is quite a bit taller than the man on the left, so it could be said that he is mogging him, much like it could be said that big tunes billy corgan's musical output mogged all his contemporaries.

>>127121652
Except for Kurt, who mogged him.

>>127121652
>>127121707
Even Corgan admits that Kurt musically mogged him kek
https://youtu.be/Bn8JZuxMcoE

>>127121652
corgan put out two good albums, a lot of shit ones, and has never, -ever- been a good live act

>>127112084 (OP)
Somebody actually took the time to bump multiple threads so that both threads with this album cover as their image would be next to each other.

>>127121990
that's quite a statement in that screen shot. i agree with it. i think the only one who could come close maybe is Cornell because he's a multi tool talent with a vast high quality output.

>>127120346
im not saying that tho. im saying albini gave them both the same drum sound with the room, mics, etc. was striking.

>>127122045
or they could have just posted in both one right after the other

>>127112417
There's no "continuation". The band happened and ceased to exist. End of. What we have is all we'll ever have. Be content or go suck the newest industry plant off.

>>127112417

I imagine it must be rough still being stuck as the same person you were when you were 16, yeah. Like I said, no self-awareness

Yes, we know. You're a serious adult. Everything serious. No fun allowed. You lead a miserable existence and the only way to cope is to shit on others who are happier than you.

>>127124089

Music elitists/autists, I swear.

>>127123301
No, this is a common occurrence. There is definitely an autist who is deliberately bumping threads so that threads with the same or similar images are next to each other in the catalog.
