Good record. I think Nevermind is more consistantly good, but the better songs on In Utero are the best of Nirvana's career. Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, All Apologies.
Off topic, the idea that Lennon's legacy is somehow seen in a brighter light because he was killed is absurd. That arguement is solid with Cobain, but not with Lennon. He wrote 'A Hard Day's Night', 'Any Time At All', 'I'll Be Back', 'No Reply', 'Help!', 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away', 'Ticket To Ride', 'Norwegian Wood(This Bird Has Flown)', 'Nowhere Man', 'In My Life', 'I Feel Fine', 'I'm Only Sleeping', 'She Said She Said', 'And Your Bird Can Sing', 'Tomorrow Never Knows', 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', 'A Day In The Life', 'I Am The Walrus', 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'All You Need Is Love', 'Dear Prudence', 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun', 'Julia', 'Revolution', 'Come Together', 'I Want You(She's So Heavy)', 'Because', 'Across The Universe' and more for the Beatles and 'Imagine', 'Jealous Guy', 'Oh My Love', 'Oh Yoko', 'Working Class Hero', 'Love', 'Mother', 'Instant Karma', 'Real Love', and more for his solo records.
Look at that list. To say that after having composed that body of work, that he needed to be murdered in order to be the legend he is today is absurd.
As far as solo records go, I admittedly don't know very much of Harrison's solo stuff outside of the big hits, but I think Lennon's solo stuff blows McCartney's solo stuff out of the water.
