  • 'Radio Friendly Unit Shifter' Recorded 1/1/91. The lyrics appear to be unfinished. With the album 'In Utero' the band wanted to shy away from the polished sound of 'Nevermind' and put out a record that was less 'Radio Friendly', thus the song's meaning is self explainatory.

    I was always kind of surprised Radio Friendly Unit Shifter wasn't the opener for In Utero

      Yeah and seems like they were writing pieces of the 4th album during In Utero Times... And it was gonna be more experimental and less formulated.

    • @stitchgrimly6167

      WAY before Nvm came out. The songs you mentioned as well as RFUS, All Apologies and Sappy have their roots in 1990 or earlier. Sappy was written in 1987. Even Rape Me was written (bar the bridge) about 6 months before Nvm came out.
