Can someone with more experience help me recognize the differences between this version and the released version? I'm having trouble hearing them.

Thank you so much for posting this
First off, that’s cool too!!

If you want to get into it, start by putting the released version on repeat and listen to it a few times in a row. To start, focus on Kurt Cobain’s voice, specifically where it ‘sits’ in the mix. Then, switch to Steve Albini’s version.

When I hear Steve Albini’s version, Kurt Cobain’s voice is less pronounced. What do you think??

If that helps, I can point out more differences. Or, maybe you can point out some you hear?

To me the differences matter much less than the fact that after about a minute and a half you've basically heard the whole song, and then I just get bored.

Which is funny, as there are many very repetitive tracks I like with long running times which never bore me. (Random example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXbdzLgwME0 .)

If you are using laptop speakers you may heave troubles hearing any difference, try headphones instead.
