Which Nirvana album was recorded with producer Steve Albini?

Nirvana recorded In Utero with producer Steve Albini.

The band made the album in 1993, seeking a rougher and less polished sound than the highly successful Nevermind. Recording took place at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota, with Albini serving as producer and engineer. The sessions were completed quickly, reflecting the group’s preference for direct performances and a more abrasive sonic character.

DGC Records requested changes to parts of the album because executives worried that Albini’s mix was too harsh for a major commercial release. Scott Litt subsequently remixed “Heart-Shaped Box” and “All Apologies,” while most of the album retained Albini’s production approach.

In Utero was released on September 13, 1993. It reached number one in the United States and United Kingdom. Albini also worked with many other artists, but Nirvana’s album is often cited as one of his most prominent mainstream projects.
