I liked, but didn't love In Utero. I would love to hear the original mix. Something about the album feels chunky, like it doesn't venture to any extremes.

I think Nevermind actually captured a real essence of Nirvana, a smart co-opting of pop music. It wants to come through in In Utero (rape me), but something is holding it back. Even Bleach feels more pop than In Utero.
