''In Utero'' was intended to return to their original fanbase and throw off everyone else. The first song, "Serve the Servants", opens with the fatigued lines: "Teenage angst has paid off well/now I'm bored and old". It has been said that Creator/WilliamSBurroughs declared Music/KurtCobain to be already dead when he first heard this song.

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The "Pennyroyal Tea" single was recalled shortly after Music/KurtCobain's death in April 1994. The single's cancellation may have been in part due to the title of one of the b-sides, "I Hate Myself and Want to Die," although it may have been cancelled regardless of this, so as not to capitalize on Cobain's death. In April 2014, the song was re-released on 7-inch vinyl for Record Store Day 2014, limited to only 6000 copies. It was the top-selling vinyl single of Record Store Day in the US, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart.

* ShortRunInPeru: An unusually extreme example happened with the single release of "Pennyroyal Tea". The single was released in Germany (and handed out as a promo release in the UK) a whopping ''twenty years'' before its American release, owed to Kurt Cobain's suicide [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents motivating DGC to recall the single]] in 1994.

The executives at Creator/GeffenRecords didn't like the initial mixes and felt that it wouldn't sell, deeply dispiriting Music/KurtCobain who soon came to have a similar opinion. The band tried employing Bob Ludwig to remix the recordings, but despite Krist Novoselic's approval, Cobain still wasn't satisfied. They then went to producer Scott Litt for additional mixing help, but initial producer Music/SteveAlbini wouldn't give the masters to him until Novoselic had to convince him to do so.
