Up in It is the second album by the Afghan Whigs, released in 1990 via Sub Pop. [7] [8] It marked the first time Sub Pop had released an album by a band hailing from outside the northwestern United States. [9]
The album was produced by Jack Endino. [1]
Trouser Press wrote: "Typically gauzy Jack Endino production instantly brands Up in It as a Sub Pop issue. While the increased volume follows suit, the Whigs still wax more lyrical than their thrash’n’burn label contemporaries." [10] The New Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that "thudding production hides the band's latent smarts in sludge." [5] The Dallas Observer deemed the album "the first indication grunge could be created in a vacuum (i.e., Cincinnati) by four isolated 20-year-olds just as potently as if it were manufactured by a whole slew of Mark Arms." [11]
All tracks written by Greg Dulli except where noted.
