A very powerful album, In Utero was Kurt Cobain bringing Nirvana back to a raw sound with heavy riffs and dark lyrics. There are some great guitar parts in this album. One of these days I'd love to hear a rough and raw mix of Nevermind, because I think it wouldn't be too dissimilar to what Steve Albini (the producer of In Utero) got. Ok the lyrics of In Utero are darker and full of unpleasant but deeply personal imagery ("I wish I could eat your cancer").

My fave songs aren't so much the more well-known ones, such as Rape Me and All Apologies. Both great, don't get me wrong. But I really love the guitar work and melody on Scentless Apprentice, the intensity of Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, and Milk It is a fine track too.

Do I like In Utero better than Nevermind? No, I think Nevermind overall has better songs. I do like the production of In Utero better and think this raw, direct sound would've made Nevermind sound better (altho not as commercial, so you can't fault Butch Vig for what he did - it needed to be done at the time).
