In Utero: “Teenage Angst Has Paid Off Well”

Teenage angst hasn’t paid Matt well in any literal way, but he does maintain a soft spot for many of the rock bands it has. Cobain made that the first line on the prickly follow-up to Nevermind, In Utero, and immediately cast it as a rejection of fame and Nevermind itself. In this episode, Matt offers albums by two other artists who teenage angst paid off well and who seem hell-bent on getting beyond that past, just like Nirvana. Listen in for talk of Foxing’s Nearer My God and, finally, the My Chemical Romance episode you’ve all probably been expecting from Matt (though not the album you might expect!).
