After the recording sessions were completed, Nirvana sent unmastered tapes of the album to various people at Geffen and at its management company Gold Mountain. Cobain described their reactions to the album as "The grown-ups don't like it." Cobain said he was told that the songwriting was "not up to par", and that the sound was "unlistenable".[11] Few at Gold Mountain or Geffen had wanted the band to record with Albini to begin with, and Cobain felt he was receiving an understated message to scrap the sessions and start all over again (which was within reason, since Nevermind was such a big commercial success). Cobain was upset; he told biographer Michael Azerrad, "I should just rerecord this record and do the same thing we did last year because we sold out last year--there's no reason to try and redeem ourselves as artists at this point. I can't help myself--I'm just putting out a record I would like to listen to at home." However, various friends of the group loved the album. By early April 1993, Nirvana was intent on releasing the album as it was. Cobain said, "Of course, they want another Nevermind, but I'd rather die than do that. This is exactly the kind of record I would buy as a fan, that I would enjoy owning."[12]
However, the band members began to have doubts about the record's sound; Cobain remarked "The first time I played it at home, I knew there was something wrong. The whole first week I wasn’t really interested in listening to it at all, and that usually doesn’t happen. I got no emotion from it, I was just numb."[13] The group concluded that the problem was that the bass and lyrics were inaudible, and approached Albini to remix the album. Albini declined, saying "[Cobain] wanted to make a record that he could slam down on the table and say, 'Listen, I know this is good, and I know your concerns about it are meaningless, so go with it.' And I don't think he felt he had that yet. .... My problem was that I feared a slippery slope."[14] The band attempted to fix its concerns with the record during the mastering process with Bob Ludwig at his studio in Portland, Maine. Novoselic was pleased with the results, but Cobain still didn't feel the sound was perfect.[15]
Soon afterward, in April 1993 Albini remarked to the Chicago Tribune that he doubted Geffen would release the completed album.[16] While there was no immediate reply to his remarks from the group or the label, Newsweek ran a similar article soon after that focused wider attention on the story.[17] Nirvana denied any pressure from its label to change the album's sound. The band sent a letter to Newsweek that said that the article's author "ridiculed our relationship with our label based on totally erronous information"; the band also reprinted the letter in a full-page ad in Billboard. Geffen president Ed Rosenblatt insisted in a press release that Geffen would release anything the band submitted, and label founder David Geffen made the unusual move of personally calling Newsweek to complain about the article.[18]
Nirvana wanted to do further work on the recorded tracks, and considered working with producer Scott Litt and remixing some tracks with Andy Wallace (who had mixed Nevermind). Albini vehemently disagreed, and claimed he had an agreement with the band that it would not modify the tracks without his involvement. Albini initially refused to give the album master tapes to Gold Mountain, but relented after a phone call from Novoselic. The band decided against working with Wallace and chose to remix and augment the songs "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies" with Litt in May 1993. The rest of the album was left unaltered aside from a remastering which sharpened the bass guitar sound and and increased the volume of the vocals by approximately three decibles
