Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited edition vinyl pressing of the popular MTV unplugged album from Kurt Cobain and co. **Please note that this vinyl pressing features 'For Promotional Use Only' printed on the artwork. 2007 Amazon.com essential recording: The last Nirvana collection recorded before the untimely death of Kurt Cobain, Unplugged caught many by surprise with its stripped down, neo-acoustic offerings with a bridled fury. When Cobain sings, "I swear I don't have a gun, I don't have a gun" with clenched teeth (instead of an open howl) and when the haunting strains of "About a Girl"--from their earliest LP--chills even with quieted guitars, you discover a new appreciation for the nuances of one of the greatest bands of recent times. Highlights include covers of three Meat Puppets tracks (featuring special guests Curt and Kris Kirkwood of that influential "college rock" band), the weepy cello on the Vaselines' "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam," and their cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World." --Lorry Fleming Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Amazing!In my opinion, the greatest MTV Unplugged album ever. They proved that they were more than just a grunge band, and Cobain brought his pain briefly to the surface. Rating: - then album that made me appreciate acoustic musicWhen I first got this album I simply could not stop listening to it not only one of the best live albums but one of the best albums ever and that says a lot since before i got this cd I wasnt into acoustic cds i liked my music load and heavy and now because of this cd I now love acoustic songs , which I think its a good change of pace.even thou I hate Mtv ,its nirvana so what the hell here are my favourite songs 1 jesus dont want me for a sumbeam 2 come as you are 3 polly 4 lake of fire 5 were did you sleep last night be sure to pick up the dvd of this classic album Rating:  - Nice for visits, but I wouldn't want to stay for too longNirvana was a rock band. Their style was loud, raw, aggressive. Kurt Cobain abused his guitars. Dave Grohl pounded the living daylights out of his drums. Krist Novoselic jumped around on stage like a madman. So what happens when you hand Cobain an acoustic guitar, tell Grohl to play his drums with brushes, and force Krist to sit still? Well, you get a very interesting album. I will agree with many of the glowing reviews on here, this performance has alot of emotional punch - in places. But I wonder if perhaps too much of this emotional stuff is read into these performances in light of Cobain's death. Yes, he screams and plunks his guitar with great vigor, but he was also high on herion. It's somewhat ...

While it contains all their best songs, they are performed in a much different vein. All the sound guitars are taken out and the album is acoustic with even violin added to the mix. The songs that are noticeably different from the original releases are "Come As Yo Are", "Pennyroyal Tea" and "All Apologies", while some of the other mellower hits aren't that much different. There are six cover songs on the album, including David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World" and The Vaselines' "Jesus Does Not Want Me As A Sunbeam". Then The Meat Puppets' Kurt and Lyle Kirkwood perform with Nirvana on three Meat Puppets' songs, "Lake of Fire", "Plateua", ...

The talking back and forth is a bit hard to hear between the songs, but thats the only negative. The music is good and cleer. Defenitly a good buy! |
