In Utero also has a darker and more aggressive feel to it and is less pop-influenced compared to Nevermind. I can't really imagine a song like 'Serve The Servants' fitting in on Nevermind, likewise I can't imagine 'Drain You' fitting in too well on In Utero.
I agree with everything, except I'm not "too sure" about the raw & live sounding aspect of Utero. That would depend on the individual really. Its too Pop.. to sound "Live" and the "Raw" aspect goes to the album "Bleach".
In my opinion the Darker and Aggressive (Punk) feel is "dominate" in all.. of Nirvana music Personality.

I agree both albums are different in sound and style though. "Actually", just (a little) different.
