Cobain classified himself as a death rocker. I think the notion pretty much sums up the band.
To downwardspiral:
Two pieces of work by a single artist may not be directly comparable. This occurs where the goals differ and the outcomes are substantially different. I feel that this is the case where the two albums in question are concerned.
In terms of an overall cohesive statement and the notion of conceptual unity, I'll say that In Utero certainly accomplishes a great deal more than Nevermind. But then, Nevermind was not supposed to. In terms of high hitting pop moments, Nevermind wins. But then, In Utero wasn't trying to compete. Thus, the differing aims and outcomes prevent the two records from truly being directly comparable.
