“Genius is a weird & inappropriate word, & hard work is underrated, but Kurt Cobain had a distinct & personal take on the world, & generally, when someone strikes a chord with his audience, that’s what people respond to…I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly a fan of Nirvana when I was asked to work on In Utero, but during the course of making the record I came to appreciate that they were genuine about their band & their music, that Kurt was capable of sophisticated thinking, & that they and their music were unique.” -Steve Albini
