It came out on September 24, 1991 via DGS Records. It was produced by current Garbage's drummer Butch Vig (he also produced records like The Smashing Pumpkins' Gish, Sonic Youth's Dirty and Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, Jimmy Eat World's Chase This Light and, of course, Foo Fighters' Wasting Light). It was recorded during May and June in Sound City Studios (Dave Grohl is making a movie about this studio).
I think that this album don't feature a song that is bad. All tracks are awesome or at least good and I know that this album has changed a lot of people.
Cover of the album has also interesting story. It was Kurt Cobain's idea to make such cover after he watched water births with Dave Grohl. First, they wanted to use real water births images, but they were too vivid for the record company. Therefore, they settled to shoot babies in a pool. Then they chose image of an infant named Spencer Elden. However, there was again a problem with a penis, which was too big. The only compromise that Kur Cobain would agree on was to put a sticker over it with a sign "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."
What do you think of the album?
