A bit dull
Var helt ålreit dette, skjønner ikke helt hypen bak livealbumet da - hørte på det så mulig opplevelsen er litt annerledes hvis man ser videoen i tillegg. 3/5
Ganske bra, liker viben. Men syntes ikke de låtene jeg kjenner igjen blir bedre av at de er "unplugged" da.
I was underwhelmed by this . I actually don't think that Cobain is very good acoustic. Grohl and Novaselic carry the album but can't make up for the poor vocals
Me when my throat hurts
Tem alguns bangers, mas na generalidade é um álbum ok
Meh, I don't listen to nirvana, but this still seems like really generic nirvana 67/100
Nirvana is one of the few bands out of the 90s that I am a fan of (Pearl Jam and Barenaked Ladies are the only others that come to mind). However, I like my Nirvana loud and electric. This live unplugged album was too subdued for me. I’m giving it a 3 because it’s Nirvana, but I’ll take Nevermind over this album any day. I did like the Bowie cover and All Apologies.
Bättre story än musik, stark trea.
Går inte igång på Nirvana så värst men jag gillade dem i det här formatet. Det är intimt, avskalat, emotionellt, soulful. Har lite svårt för Cobains country-klingande sångröst men gillar omväxlingen från att höra skriksången man annars är van vid.
Avklätt, rått och alldeles, alldeles bjäring? Känns som jag borde bli skjuten för kätteri, men ah. Det är rätt överskattat för mig. Bonuspoäng för Curts bakisröst. Otroligt bra och så otroligt sliten.
de e starkt och mörkt och ibland vackert men jag har bara så svårt att ta till mig R.E.M-rösten :(
Very raw emotion put into this, all songs are very good some even better than the original. Excellent album
Absolutely fine.
Pretty fun to hear this live
Great live album, but I don't know if it's one of the "greatest" live albums of all time. There's a lot going on behind the scenes that I think affected the chemistry and energy during the performance. But I live for these covers. Especially "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." I certainly agree that Nirvana was about to reinvent themselves, and that this was a precursor for a new sound. I love their sound stripped bare, which is why "Something in the Way" is always so moving for me.
It's not bad. The recording is surprisingly good for a live album. The covers were interesting enough, too, but I'd rather listen to In Utero or Nevermind.
3.5
liked the last song but overall was just a normal album for me
no tämä on sitä mitä Nirvana on. Paitsi kivaa sanailua bändiläisten kesken myös
Loved the social and personal aspect on some nirvana classics. Loved the covers too
A pirate's egg. Some great some ok.
Objectively, it's a 4/5, but I don't enjoy Nirvana enough, personally. So 3/5 it must be.
Okay, not really a fan of acoustic set.
I'm already familiar of this album, but not FULLY (heard of it) for its live performance. I really liked how they played the melody on "The Man Who Sold the World", the musicians in this band is good at their instruments and vocals served as well. I also enjoyed "Come as You Are", which I have already listened to in the past. However, sometimes I get confused on what he wants to talk about in the music. It's like trying to write a purposeful essay while drunk. I think I prefer the studio version more, because I didn't like how some songs sounded in this. It was like something was missing. LIKED songs: Come as You Are, & The Man Who Sold the World Honorable mentions: Dumb, & Something in the Way RATING: 3/5 Jan. 17, 2026 (10:07 PM)
Sure
I like some of their songs but I was never a huge Nirvana fan, even in my youth.
6.2/10
6/10… grunge / akustik rock / *1994
I prefer Nirvana plugged in but this is alright as 'a radio friendly unit shifter'
The monochrome sound throughout this album got very tiresome. Favourite song: Lake of Fire - live 8/10 Worst song: About a Girl - live 4/10 Rating of album: 6/10
kind of cool to get this right acted ybd meat puppets album like very serendipitous . i’m not a huge nirvana fan but still very very cool
This one disappointed me as their studio albums are just so nice and grunchy.
nirvana was never for me and neither was live albums. studio versions always sounds better and I don't really care what he has to say in between songs. but it's ok ig
Good but I personally burned out on nirvana in 1995.
Ik ben niet zo'n fan van live albums. Staan wel goeie nummers op. Vrij veel ken ik. Als het niet een live album was, zou ik een hogere rating hebben gegeven, want de nummers zelf zijn heel goed
not to ruin my reputation as a live albums hater, but i really do think this is a different beast. 3.5
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It was moody but sounded great. Really liked dumb. And surprisingly the later songs, even with some country influence were good. I do feel like it lacks the energy I gravitate towards usually but would listen again.
3,5*
Haven’t really listened to nirvana before I liked the acoustic and heard songs I didn’t realize were nirvana
Album: MTV Unplugged in New York Artists: Nirvana First spin mood: live albums get such a bad rep, but I enjoy watching and listening to live sets. so it’s great that the first album of this passion project is a live album. Nirvana is one of those bands that everyone should know so you pretend to know them as well. I’ve never been a huge listener other than a couple of their hits, but lately I’ve turned a new leaf and decided to listen to albums in its entirety to grasp the experience that the artist tries to take you on. The album really started up for me after plateau, with of course come as you are and man who sold the world are great but something in plateau seemed to change the atmosphere of the album for me. What it stirred in me: curiosity and impatience maybe One lyric or sound that stayed with me: Polly want a cracker lol whaaat haha. The voice in plateau resonated with me Where I was: started listening to this on a road trip from California to Colorado going through a snowstorm on i70 passing vail. What I felt: high expectations, which weren’t met until plateau. Didn’t know that song so it was cool to discover something new.
I really like live albums, but I felt like too much of this record was dull. I'm definitely missing the hype somewhere but at the end of the day I can't force myself to rate it high just because
Not really my music Taste
Killer acoustics (style: garage), certains très bons morceaux (Come as you are, Dumb, Oh me), une autre moitié de morceaux moins bons
Easy listening, harmless.
It’s ok
Liked about half the songs. Great voices and instrumentals a touch repetitive. Favourite song Dumb.
Kinda chill laid back listen; the song that I feel like had the most raw emotion would be "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", banger.
It was okay
Pretty good
Not my favorite album, it's fine but pretty same-y. Not a fan of the jokes between songs
Good album, not my favorite cause the voice of Kurt
its good but i dont really fw live versions
not generally my taste in music but really great and raw performances that i will happily listen to! favs! - about a girl - the man who sold the world - polly
bof...sounds like amateurs
Its pretty good i kinda like it
- all in one take (wtf) how does this sound so good - super raw - i want Kurt’s sweater collection
I like how they played every song after one another without having to tune in between :) pretty cool :)
2/3. Some really good songs on here, especially Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam, Man Who Sold the World, and Plateau. Cool to hear live versions of hits like Come As You Are and All Apologies too. Interesting to hear so many covers, gives an idea of the kind of music they were into. Kurt's singing is a bit hard to understand sometimes (mumbling), but his voice sounds good and he the covers let him show some range. Fun album, would recommend.
I don't personally care for Nirvana's sound, but I can respect them as artists and the role they played in music history. Enjoyed listening to this album from a historical perspective.
Kurt cobain is funny
i don't like listening to live music, so that's a bummer for this album. definitely a bummer recording of something in the way. still a solid listen, impressive vocals and great throughlines. favorite song: the Man Who Sold the World
As a Nirvana album, it’s probably in the top 3 live albums for me but doesn’t rank higher than live at Reading. The thing I hate about this album, although having nothing to do with the album itself, is the reason why I don’t listen to it. 15 years ago when it was introduced to me, or even just now on the internet, you couldn’t mention this album without being told that this is the best MTV unplugged album and that the Bowie cover is better than the original. It pisses me off to no end because it should be a music fan’s gateway to other unplugged albums or to Bowie’s early albums. But no, I have to be lectured by 13 years olds that Nirvana is the best at everything when they’re either regurgitating what they read online or can’t be bothered listening to other albums. Well how about this? The Alice in Chains unplugged album is a much better album and the Bowie cover is shit compared to the original track. This album gets boring just as Sunbeam starts.
I like the batman song
The background is really interesting, and its crazy to watch the live recording and see how young they all were. Not my cup of tea though, droning and very same-y.
6/10
Nirvana without the depth of electric sound doesn't work as well for me as for some others.
No individual song that really jumped off the page for me (Sunbeam probably closest to that) but Cobain’s a great vocalist and I like the bass enough to have this on the 3/4 border
Get that downtuned acoustic guitar, man! *vocal fry for days* I can see how "I'm going where the cold wind blows" could be an epic 'last lyric" to perform on an album, if Kurt Cobain had intended it to end that way... Pretty good stuff though
Another live album. Oh joy. Oh day of great mirth and whatever the smart sounding antonym of lamentation is. Celebration I suppose. That’s not that old-timey sounding. If “Kool and the Gang” have said it, it probably doesn’t appear in “Paradise Lost.” Well these reviews might not be Paradise, but they’re certainly a lost cause. Unplug that amp and let’s get pretentious. About a Girl - “most people don’t have this album.” Classic. Only thing more pretentious than being at this acoustic Nirvana concert in New York is the singer himself. What a guy. Decent song, but we’re missing the amps so far. Come as You Are - I’m pretty sure there is an amp there pal. And I can play this one! What a talent. What a dynamo of musical expression I am. We still need distortion and a touch o’ chaos. Still a good riff, good song, but I’m missing something here. As late comedian John Pinette said about gluten-free food, “needs gluten.” Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam - Is this a reference to the Vaselines? Oh yes I wrote that before I heard the intro. Hell yeah. This is cool. Vaselines are an interesting group and this works in the live setting. The Man Who Sold the World - I think this is the most popular song they ever released. Which uhh means it’s not that good. Thanks D Bow. Pennyroyal Tea - Hmm. This tea is kinda flavourless. Dumb - Always liked this song and I enjoy the strings and whatnot here. Sounds stripped back, cool, still punk and whatever. Polly - One of the first Nirvana songs I got into. Remains hard hitting. Something in the Way - Riddle me this Bat man, what has a broom and flies? A janitor… with a PLANE ticket. *Uproarious Laughter.” Plateau - Geographical structure music. Foothills mentioned. Surprisingly enjoyable little track. I suppose whenever geography is afoot, I’m going to have a ball. Oh Me - Another floater. Lake of Fire - Not quite Nocturnus, but I’ve always liked this song as well. Quick, aggressive, fun. All Apologies - I kind of miss the Meat Puppets here. Where Did You Sleep Last Night - A beautifully sombre song. Love the original and the cover does a good job. I really love when bands honour their influences. I presume there were a lot of people there that had only heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” who were summarily exposed to the Vaselines, the Meat Puppets and Leadbelly over the course of this record. The unfortunate thing is that so much of the edge was missing from this thing. It’s a wonderful sounding concert, the tones are great, the artistic vision is there, but I am missing something from this. Nirvana hasn’t quite been achieved here. I believe that’s still to come, either on Nevermind or In Utero. I await those days with a few extra stars to hand out. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam, Dumb, Polly, Lake of Fire, Where Did You Sleep Last Night
a bitaccoustic for a nirvana album (disappointing?). had already listened to this but still njoyable
It's not bad but I feel like I'd appreciate it more if I was alive at the time or more into nirvana
There’s no doubt that this is a fantastic, stripped-back, raw performance from Nirvana, that I’m sure at the time was a huge departure from their signature live sound. The mix of hits and back catalogue items is also a welcome addition to the live album that keeps it interesting & flowing. However, for me, as an album listening experience it hits the middle of the road. If I was there in person, in the 90s, it would have been absolutely incredible. But for me, in 2025, sitting on a bus to work, it’s a very solid listen without any major punch or impact.
This is a nice live recording, it truly is but... it's also Nirvana, which makes even the Bowie song sound depressing (and it's not a bad cover, to be honest). Some songs were good, others not that much, the band's own songs sounded more or less the same and, well, it's not my cup of tea, of course, but I thought I would like it more. Because of the more refreshing sounds and "variety" as well as for the covers, I give this album three stars, but it's not an album I would ever highlight (and there are better live albums than this one, I have to say).
A cultural touchstone for sure, it’s one of those albums that kind of defined a time and for that it probably merits being on the list. The performances are pretty good, and the acoustic nature allows the songs (rather than the sound) to be the focus. But, that said, I find it a little boring.
meh
Better and more emotionally charged than I remember. Great re-listen!
Without knowing the band and lead singers history- it’s essentially listening to a raspy pained voice for a while.
I liked this album a lot. Classic had been recorded in an interesting form. No the same as the normal Nirvana, but solid.
Nirvana, like Radiohead, is a bit of a bummer to me. They are both good but both are overrated. Also, live albums should not be part of the 1001. Yes, I am fun at parties. This is a solid album that gets a little tedious midway since it’s pretty mellow throughout. “All Apologies” is definitely the standout track. Top tracks: “All Apologies,” “The Man Who Sold the World,” “Lake of Fire”
Great covers.
hey nirvana is not overrated
One star drop for it not being a studio version
Usually not big on live albums, but this is an exception. Its good and all but the main point of note is Where Did You Sleep Last Night. Best nirvana piece of music.
Favorite song(s): Where Did you Sleep Last Night When would I listen to it: Need a calm and quiet vibey album to play in the background.
Decent live.
This is another album where I had previously heard most of the tracks. Some of them were specifically these recordings, some were the studio versions. I don’t really know how I feel. There’s clearly a lot of passion and emotion in this recording, but I also find that Nirvana tends to overdo it and make songs drone on longer than needed. I didn’t hate the experience, and I’m glad what they did for grunge and associated genres, but this isn’t an album I would probably choose to come back to.
*** 1/2 Nirvana are ok, good unplugged one.
Can't believe I hadn't listened to this before. The video clips of some songs were very prevalent in the 90s and I was kinda captivated by Kurt Cobain's aura - the aura that gets bestowed to rock stars who died young. The songs are good, the performances are beautiful, you can hear the band's onstage banter. But ultimately this is a performance that needs to be experienced as a visual immersion and listening to only the audio is a bit of a non event.
Non avevo mai sentito Lake of fire ed è stata una bella scoperta! P.S. non mi piacciono gli unplugged, preferisco i live dei concerti
I’m very torn by this one. Some of the tracks are 5 stars, no doubt. But I don’t get on with the live album format, generally. Kurt’s voice is amazing and the band sound great. But this isn’t the origin of those songs. That’s what the albums and singles are for. I’m sure this would’ve been great seeing it live, but as a recording, it doesn’t compare to their studio albums for me. That’s where the real creativity and genius lies.
It is a good live album and I do like the additional covers in terms of The Man Who Sold The World and Where Did You Sleep Last Night. However, going unplugged/acoustic lessens what makes Nirvana good so I think I can only go to a 3 star.
We all know the songs, but there’s a certain grit to them played live and recorded so well.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Nirvana and I really liked this album. That being said, I don’t know if this album lived up to its billing as the tenth highest rated on this site. I didn’t really see any benefits from this being acoustic or live. It kinda detracts from the nirvana sound that I love. You can call it a change up pitch for the band, it doesn’t do it the way Nirvana typically does it for me.
Rock, unplugged, 1994 -> 3
Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged strips away the distortion and fury that defined their sound, offering a raw, intimate performance. The setlist highlights their versatility, with standout covers like Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World” and the haunting closer “Where Did You Sleep Last Night.” While the vulnerability is striking, some moments feel uneven compared to their studio energy, making it less consistent as a whole.
Less amplification makes Nirvana less abrasive. The highlights of this record for me are the guitar and bass. The last 4 songs are all good but the finale was absolutely killer. 2.7 outta 5
Like but don’t love nirvana. That was pretty cool with it being live but wasnt my favorite
60/1089 a cool, moody live set which was well performed and atmospheric. I had a good time listening to this one, even if i felt a little underwhelmed because i expected a bit more. 3 stars or 61/100 faves: Come As You Are, Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam, All Apologies
I really think my problem is that I didn't grow up with nirvana the way most people here did. I think this is a good acoustic set, but certainly not one of the best ever put to wax. Love the closer but that's really all.
One of the great progenitors of butt rock (this doesn't make them butt rock, just recognizing that we probably wouldn't have butt rock without them)
Albumet føles veldig langt når alle låtene høres helt like ut
It was alright
Mooi, maar niet voor mij.
My VHS recording of this from when it first aired was well worn - by the time the LP version of Unplugged In New York was released, however, I subconsciously avoided it. It was several months after the events of April 5, 1994, but it still seemed a bit too raw for me, a bit too much of a cash-in on Cobain's untimely death. Thirty years on (yikes!) I think I can look at this all a bit more objectively. We'll never know where Cobain might have gone next, but here he wears his influences on his sleeve, and interviews from the time suggest Nirvana would have evolved like his heroes The Beatles and Bowie. Unplugged supports this notion, with the acoustic setting showcasing Kurt's melodic pop sensibilites - I still feel it works better when accompanied by the visuals though, given Cobain was so particular about the dressing and staging of the recording. While I love the music, even after all this time, I still feel there is something slightly cynical about this release as an album - as interesting and enjoyable an epitaph it may be, for me Nirvana's real legacy lies in their studio output.
Starting with the Unplugged album feels an odd first Nirvana album for the generator to throw out, no matter how famous it is. I was pretty much the perfect age to be obsessed with Nirvana in their heyday, but I was fairly unbothered by them, Come As You Are and Heart Shaped Box being the two tracks I actively liked. Of the songs I'd never heard before on this apbum, I liked Plateau a lot. Overall, I liked this, but didn't love it. It's a decent listen, but I don't think it's the album to win over new fans, more an album to give people who are already fans a different experience of the songs they love. 3/5
it was okay! I just think they're okay
6.9 polly and plateau👍🏽
Fine album.
Reminds me of my fav Phoebe bridge's definitely need to do a deeper dive! Love the context surrounding the album and also the covers are really good!
-damnn this was a great performance. everything sounded so Crisp, i felt like i was there -i am finally becoming a sort-of Nirvana fan in the big year of 2025 -i wish they had played some more of my favorite material but this was still quite good. 3.5 stars -Favorites are About A Girl, Something In The Way, and Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Weird - I know this album pretty well, but never knew: a) it was recorded on my 6th birthday b) it was recorded so soon before Kurt died It's pretty great – as if we needed further proof of how strong Cobain's compositions are. They hold up so well to this format, and probably any other you'd care to throw at them. The covers are so well curated too. I was surprised though on this listen how a band so at the peak of their powers can be so sloppy in places? They’re out of their comfort zone sure, and it’s part of the warts-and-all charm of the set, but there are some really pretty dodgy moments here.
Popular group, popular songs. As I already knew some of them, I wasn't excited about this album at all. Although there are great songs, I was bored by the acoustic atmosphere in the whole album. Great songs: Come as You Are, The Man Who Sold The World, Something In the Way I also liked On A Plain
I wish they had adapted the songs for an acoustic set rather than just play them regularly, but on acoustic guitars and drum brush.
Iconic MTV Unplugged set from a band I have always felt were pretty overrated. It's telling that the stand out songs with the most emotional impact and nuance on here are covers, but you can hear Cobain struggling with the complexity of some of the vocals. A good album that, for me, highlights the weakness of Nirvana's own songwriting against better work.
it’s a good live album and it is iconic but not sure if it’s good enough to be on this list…….. still enjoyable to listen to
Pretty sacrilegious
Traue mich kaum, das zu schreiben, aber ich halte Nirvana für überbewertet... Die aufs Akustische abgespeckten Fassungen legen dann aber doch das Songwriting etwas mehr frei, nicht uninteressant.
3.5
so this is one i know very well. its what i call the iPod collection, meaning that window of time where people had more capable music players than phones, this album is on that list of "was on everyone's iPod" bands and albums. idk what other Nirvana albums are on this guy's list, but imo this particular record needs the context of their career to appreciate it. so if this is your first time hearing this group, i think this is mid at best. its beautiful but this comes at a strained point in the singers life, as well as this marks the last thing he would do. while i understand how awesome and amazing this record is, its a chapter in this long story. its really the only Unplugged anyone talks about, let alone Mtv. there are acoustic versions of songs that you are familiar with as well as some covers. its feels very practiced and methodical. as a band, they represent that 90's era of modern rock changing. its mellow but intense in the acoustic delivery, making some songs softer, and others more abrasive. against other bands and records, sure i prefer this over most, but in their own collection, i've never loved it that much. for some songs this format works, mostly for stuff that is new to this performance (shoutout Meat Puppets) like the cover of Lead Belly "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" i'm being a little bias, cuz i do know how loved and respected this piece of music history has been, but i say 3/5. its the culmination of the 90's live houseparty recording of a show.
Pretty good
3/5
Not worth the hype
jo eh
Nirvana but a bit quieter. Still struggled to hear the lyrics.
Some nuggets of gold and some lumps of coal on this record. Cobain’s voice seems to desert him during some songs, and is absolutely stunning during others.
Прикольно, но альбомные версии лучше. Хотя Lake of Fire классная
En líneas generales me ha gustado a pesar de que en ciertas ocasiones la voz de Kurt Cobain se me hace algo pesada. Sin dudas, la interpretación de Come As You Are es la mejor del álbum. La versión de The Man Who Sold The World es buena, pero no llega a la original de Bowie. 3'5/5
nice stuff
The Man Who Sold The World is a treat to listen to, and I acknowledge that this performance is a significant part of music history, but without the appeal of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain (and his recent suicide) attached to the album, it's just kind of whiny grunge.
Hardly unplugged but a good listen, powerful live recordings, pretty heavy going throughout though...
This is pedantic but it isn’t really an album. It is excellent though. Interesting that a band famed for squalling guitar noise did acoustic stuff and still sounded like themselves. Some revealing choices for song covers too.
I think Nirvana made pretty interesting music, but I think this does highlight just how much more interesting Kurt was as a person.
Dude doesn't always hit the right notes but he tried
The Good: Being unplugged in New York… The Bad: As it’s the city that never sleeps, we should have brought along some ac/dc… The Ugly: THE FUCKING CARDIGAN… There are people who will die defending this album, all about the rawness of it all, and that this is the way music should sound… which explains several of the other dreadful albums I’ve had the displeasure of listening to on this journey. The only real positive thing to be said about this performance was when the Meat Puppets joined for three of their songs! Actually, that’s not fair, as several of the tunes performed by Nirvana were not totally ruined by Kurts purposeful false screamin’ which needed work… I lived this period, have many wonderful memories of this time, and I am NOT one to die on the sword defending this album… Straight down the middle on this one 3*
A bit repetitive at times. A great live recording but not my favourite.
It was ok. Nice surprise. Wouldn't listen to again but it was more folk and chill than I thought it would be.
3/5. I don't think this is a great album but I respect the authenticity and the humility to sound worse on songs that he did not need to sound bad on. He changes the key just cause, and then strains his voice. This is a hard record to listen to with the context of his suicide. It seems like he does not want to be there, like his life is just a performance for others. And at the end, he breaks, moving past the bounds of the music and crashes. Like he has realized what he had to do and the concert was his thought process through it. It's a hard listen, and unfortunately doesn't sound good a lot of the time, purposefully and also not on purpose. I think you can really hate this record or really love it and probably for the same reason. Best Song: Where Did You Sleep Last Night, The Man Who Sold The World, Pennyroyal Tea
good but let's face it it was a cash-in
I like their approach not just to play their best songs unplugged, but to use that intimate setting to play cover versions of songs that seem important to them, for whatever reason. I liked their songs, but some of the covers weren't my thing.
Heard it before. Some very good live songs especially the cover ones. But it's weak in parts. I don't agree with live albums being on the list. Might as well allow best of albums then
A strange recording for many reasons, not least because a band at the height of the powers would play a live set mainly made of covers, rather than their hits. This is the most R.E.M. Nirvana ever sounded and the most Eddie Vedder Kurt Cobain ever sounded. Potential echoes of a sound they never got to explore. However, a stripped back setting is not really what we go to Nirvana for; we want rock. The set takes a bit of time to get going and it’s actually the covers; where you can hear Kurt straining or struggle or be a bit embarrassed, which really shine in this performance.
Their best live performance but for whatever reason I wasn't in the mood while listening. A few songs stand out and Kurt Cobain does some fun things with his voice. Feel like Nirvana fans would be pissed but 3 stars
>I don't have a gun Erm... Good warm atmosphere. Not the usual Nirvana, but still kind of the same. I both like and dislike it
Epic nostalgia
Overall good. Live version has better mixing with base guitar. Fave song : something in the way
Hard to rate an album that I’ve listened to as many times as I have this one. I think this was a good mostly acoustic set by a band that certainly had something. The flowers and candles set dressing is weird for a posthumous release. I’m not sure why I am so hard on Nirvana. Do I feel like they were forced on me because of their popularity? Am I mad at MTV and the way music is marketed to young people? Am I just disappointed by how my teenage years went, and maybe just life in general? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure most of my feelings about Nirvana are not really about Nirvana. This is not a bad album that I know backwards and forwards and never listen to. I can agree that everyone should hear it.
I never quite got the hype around Nirvana. Sure, some songs are good, but then there are some outright dogshit ones too. This album is not an exception.
Fine
While Nirvana broke alot of ground in the grunge scene, I am not sold myself on the album.
Necesito escucharlo otra vez, porque me produjo poco y nada mientras trabajaba. Un setlist un poco alejado de lo que esperaba. Nota: 2.5
Artistin nimen tiesin, mutta tuotantoa en juurikaan. Mutta tämä oli aika tasalaatuista, ja alkoi toistaa itseään.
A good performance, short and to the point, but I always come away feeling like "i don't get it" with Nirvana. The fact that the songs that I enjoyed the most are covers also kind of sells the point to myself. These are perfectly acceptable pop songs, performed decently well in an intimate setting, but they lack that special spark that excites me about some pop songs over others.
I guess if we are to have live albums on the list, this one is a must. Nirvana's (semi) Unplugged shows they are more than just a grunge band. Acoustic versions of the hits work and even the covers are better than originals. Cobain brings raw emotion and the band carries it well. Timing of the release shortly after his death for sure vaulted this up the charts but it deserves praise. Certainly one of the better from the live list...2.9.
Yeah it's just not my thing, sorry team.
Wouldnt be my go to, and may not return to it, but in no way a bad album.
Very weird to hear Nirvana being nice boys while on stage, not the myth I've been sold!
I dont like Live alblums
On paper, Nirvana should be my shit, but it just never clicked for me. Kurt's voice is not my favorite here, so this being my first album on this project isn't helping their cause.
actually good
A piece of music history. The Nirvana songs on the album are more pedestrian, but what stands out to me, and what makes this a classic is the interesting choice of covers - Bowie, the Vaselines, Meat Puppets (x2!!), and Lead Belly. One listen, and it’s difficult to restrain from humming “all and all is all we are” the rest of the day.
This was a breath of fresh air for me. I love Rock infused music. Is this worth a 5*? No, mainly because I prefer studio recorded albums where the music is arguably in its best form, but after dealing with a dying man and then blues/soul music this was a welcome reprieve. *Update - I wrote this after listening to the first half of the album and then got bored in the 2nd half. Acoustic covers are great but I think their appeal wears off after a while which is what happened to me. If a 1/2 star was allowed I'd give this a 3.5. But alas, 3* is as high as I will go.
The songs sound similar but overall there is a "different" vibe to anything I've heard before. A punky but melodic tune for each song, and surprisingly good vocals
***A good album, many tracks sound similar, but all easy listening.
7/10
se não fosse acustico eram 4 estrelas infelizmente eu odeio acústico
acho o cabelo do kurt nas gravações desse bonito demais. ensebadaço e com um formato bacaninha. aprecio que eles usaram o espaço acustico pra fazer COVER. uma bela homenagem aos artistas de boteco. dito isso, PASMEM até que é bom. perdeu uma estrela meramente por ser acustico.
I prefer them plugged
Paar mooie nummers ma nie echt mijn smaak.
The sadness that comes through these songs is palpable and leaves a heavy residue. Kurt committed suicide just 4 months later.
This is a nice album, it had a few very popular songs but I am surprised that it didn't sound bad for a live performance. Overall, it was alright having it in the background and I enjoyed the songs that I knew.
Yeah it's pretty good though not that hyped on it honestly maybe because I've listened to these songs so many times
Ok. Not as good as Nevermind, or maybe I just wasn’t in the Nirvana mood yesterday.
This is such an interesting concept to do a live album on the 1001... i def think it's a good idea for it. kinda iconic for them not to do their hits, though as someone who's not too into nirvana, i wish there kinda were. nevertheless, nice work !!
I listened to this a fair few times as part of the classics canon. I remember it very fondly, but also only remember a few songs. Man Who Sold the World and Where Did You Sleep Last Night are both great, even if I still prefer the originals. More than I enjoy the album itself, I appreciate it as a music discovery source. Kurt had really interesting taste, and his covering artists turned me onto, or made me revisit people I really enjoy. I don't think any of the Nirvana songs are improved by being unplugged though. One day I will watch the actual recorded set, and I imagine that will give it an extra star. Album cover: (B)
It's been a while since we had a live album so I'm looking forward to this. Nirvana is not something I like to hear at just any moment, they are very location and mood specific for me. I am not entering this listen in the right place or mood, so that may affect my reviews. The first song I'm really liking is "The Man Who Sold The World". Kurt's vocals on it are nice. I learned at the end it's a Bowie song, so maybe I still don't really like Nirvana. I'm enjoying "On A Plain". This album lacks the awesome crowd connection and engagement that I've heard from other live albums on this list. They aren't really bringing a lot of energy to the performance? The sound quality is great, but there's not much to this album's live performance other than that an audience claps at the end of songs. I don't really love Nirvana, and I was expecting this to be a super hardcore live album which brought energy I couldn't appreciate from my office chair. Instead it was a quiet and slow performance which was appropriate for my office chair, but boring. I guess that's the point of an unplugged album, but without the intensity they bring to their recorded electrical stuff, they don't have much left to offer me. 5/10
I actually dislike this album even though I was a huge Nirvana fan at 14. This album was flogged to death after Kurt’s suicide and for as interesting as it is, it suffers by not being the full force of the band. Some great covers here
Notably better than their normal grunge. I still don't like Cobain's voice, though
Interesting to go unplugged, and good showcase of some of KC's favourite songs, but comes across as a time capsule more than an album.
it was alright
I absolutely disliked the MTV Unplugged series when it was going. I really only liked Nirvana's and Alice in Chains's Unplugged albums. This one has a wide range of their own material and covers (Meat Puppets, David Bowie, yayyyy!). It's fine, I do like the version of All Apologies off of this than the studio version from In Utero. 3.4/5 so it's a 3.
Solid. Guitar work really nice and the compositions sound great but Kurt’s voice never quite did it for me. Definitely warm up to the style by the end of the album. Would listen again
Average
more curiosity than album . bowie cover is good .
Didn’t blow me away but enjoyed some songs
Not really sure stuff like this should be on the list. Proves their songs were pretty versatile though. All Apologies a personal favourite
Some of them yes some of them no. Liked it more than I thought I would. Would probably relisten.
I enjoyed listening to this, as I've heard it before and enjoyed it. I'd relisten.
This is fine. I think the fact that my favorite Nirvana songs are the covers on this album is pretty telling.
Going to go against the grain here and say It's just good. I think I prefer when they're plugged
simplemente nirvana. me gusto pero no diria que me encanto
I can’t help but wonder if the reason for this album being considered essential is partly due to the tragedy that befell Kurt Cobain only a few months later. I do enjoy this album, it’s a nice stripped back version of a lot of great Nirvana songs, but I think I’d still pick the studio recorded versions every time. There are definitely occasions where bands sound better on live albums than the studio versions, but this is not one of those times. Again, it’s still a nice listen, but I’m not quite sure what makes this an essential listen.
It's quite a statement. A live album with minimal production. Even to a casual listener, it's interesting to hear the slick versions of those songs. I still prefer the studio versions tho.
MTV Unplugged by so many bands, especially Nirvana, was so overplayed back in the day. I'm still recovering.
good set with a couple standout tracks but i’m not the biggest fan of nirvana
It’s ok! Some songs are absolute gems.
I like some of Nirvana's work and I think they might be better unplugged than plugged. There's a couple really good tunes on here, but much of Cobain's vocals sound like a man whining painfully - not as bad as Radiohead's lead, but kind of annoying at times.
Iconic album. One of the first unplugged session on MTV, but not sure it necessarily makes it a classic even if it is a reasonably good album
Decent set.
Another underwhelming one for me, despite the clear influence the band had at the time. Some charismatic moments in the recording and I enjoyed many of the tracks (Plateau was a highlight for me). Overall, though, I found the muted sound and Cobain's apathetic delivery a bit of a drag. Maybe one for enjoying in the right mood.
It’s good. Not a big fan of the covers, I don’t think the live recordings add much compared to the recorded, in general just feels like a Nirvana greatest hits album.
It’s Ozk
Perhaps not the greatest way to revisit Nirvana. Interesting covers. Enjoyed 'On A Plain'. 'Pennyroyal Tea' pretty woeful though. Not something I've ever gone to the trouble of listening to, and probably never will again despite being a youthful enthusiast first time around.
This was fine.
The live unplugged format has both benefits and drawbacks for Nirvana. On the one hand, it makes them sound super-creepy, which I think is part of their appeal. Songs like "Come As You Are" (better in this rendition than on the record), "Man Who Sold The World" and the intense closer "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" just convey an especially uneasy feeling with this lighter sound and intimate delivery, removed from the massive over-production of "Nevermind". On the other hand, Cobain is really not a good singer, and that massive over-production was the only thing that got him to sound passable. Live acoustic just renders all of Cobain's limitations in startling clarity, along with all the other notes they play. That's how it works! And that's why producers (and listeners with pop sensibility) tend to like massive over-production. Those limitations are obvious within a few minutes of starting the CD. The best comp for this is "Jar Of Flies", which I hope makes the list. "Jar of Flies" is also a creepy, largely acoustic grunge CD, but on every conceivable dimension it blows this out of the water. The singers are better, the songs are deeper, the depth of sound and recording quality are better. Not to say "Unplugged" is bad - in a list of 1001, not everyone can be first. But even for this approach, it's not best-in-class. And this is the killer - it misses the thing that makes "Nevermind" so enduring and so captivating, which is the insane raw emotion in every track. So much of that comes through the palpable anger in their electrified delivery, and it's just lost here. Even at that though, there's only so bad a Nirvana greatest-hits CD can get.
i dont know if this is a controversial rating, but i like the studio recordings way more, and i think this album was boring
Overall, it was good for a live album, but not great.
fet musikk, generelt ganske kjipe tekster, man who sold the world evig favoritt
About a Girl 8/10 - Guitar tone is subdued but sooo sick. Kurt sounds like he's trying too. The mixing is actually really good. Come as You Are 6/10 - The clapping is so polite lmao. Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam 4.5/10 The man who sold the world still one of the best songs ever, and this rendition might be my second favorite next to Midge Ure's. 9.5/10 Pennyroyal Tee 8.5/10 Leonard Cohen reference lol Dumb 3/10 Polly 5/10 On A Plain 6/10 Something in the way 7/10 LOOOL Plateau 7/10 - very pretty Oh Me 8/10 - Songwriting is great Lake of Fire 8.5/10 - These covers are really nice sounding god All Apologies 5/10 - Not the biggest fan tbh Where Did You Sleep Last Night 7/10 - OG is goated
I’m
I think that I can see the appeal of Nirvana by listening to this album. It’s not bad and it stays entertaining but did not seem too amazing.
Slightly as I expected, the best songs on this are the ones Nirvana didn't come up with - it's all a bit too mawkish, up itself not quite rock and I'm just not here for it - sorry Kurt, it's a solid "meh" from me. Faves: The Man Who Sold the World
This didn't feel all that unplugged imo
Listened to all non unplugged songs on this album and a few unplugged. It was nice to listen to it all together. Cobains vocals are so raw I love the contrast from what they usually sound like.
Another fucking live album?
I don't think their songs translates that well to an acoustic setting, although some of the covers are great. 3.5 stars
I like depressing rock music so this was fun.
Nirvana vs the cult of cobin, separate the sound from the myth, this is actually good
There are some seriously good songs on this album, but most of them come straight from Nevermind and In Utero. I liked listening to this album, but there's absolutely no reason for it to be included on this list instead of some other album.
I've never been sure why the Unplugged MTV thing was conceived - was it a view that noisy rockers couldn't play instruments without being plugged in? Whatever, it usually offers a new view of a band. In this case I think Nirvana took the chance to play several cover versions, and in fact my favourite track here is the Bowie cover (The Man Who Sold The World). Oh, and the Leadbelly cover is good too. The album's OK, but not being particularly keen on Nirvana, I can take it or leave it.
I'm coming back to Nirvana after years of avoiding listening to them. I ended up really enjoying their early studio albums, and of course I remember when this live album was recorded. It was just played everywhere. I'm not a huge fan of the unplugged series of albums. I think this was pretty good but I'm going with a 3 on this one, not super inspiring to me.
Went on a bit
Iconic but never been really into it. Also -1 for being a live-album
Not a bad album, not something I would normally listen to, I liked some songs better than others, Where Did You Sleep Last Night was very good, the fact that it's live is incredible. His voice is so powerful and clear, I can't even believe it
cool
Heard of them but never listened to them.
Fav: The Man Who Sold The World Least Fav: Dumb Man, that second half was sure was uninteresting! Atleast they pulled it around in the last 2 songs
Bunch of Nirvana classics, but live
The covers are interesting, but without video it gets a bit samey. Still enjoyable and you can feel how interesting it is in context.
I get it, I see the appeal, I like it even. But I think I still prefer plugged nirvana.
Not a fan of Nirvana, even though unplugged version is a bit better than normal. Couple of pretty good songs, I really liked "Where did you Sleep Last Night", but the rest of the album was a bit boring.
I liked this when it came out, but I think it’s slightly overrated.
It’s ok. I like the first track. I don’t like when he gets screechy/screamy
nirvana kinda mid
不知道为什么，没啥感觉
I hated this back in 94. Where was the grunge? where was the attitude? Now days I'm more irritated by the MTV audience
I hate the MTV Unplugged house engineer team’s approach to acoustic guitars and bass so much
Decent album. Best tracks are the covers, especially Where did you sleep...Unplugged albums always seem like one for the big fans of the group.
I was never really a fan of Nirvana and never understood the hype, but this album is good. It adds cover to the hits, and they sound fantastic acoustically. I never really appreciated how many great covers there are on this album until now. Favourite song: About a girl, the man who sold the world and where did you sleep last night. Least favourite: I have never liked Pennyroyal tea Album artwork: Cool cover
Heard the songs but not sure if I've heard the album before. The presentation is illuminating to hear Nirvana songs in this setting. It highlights Cobain's talent as a songwriter. It's still a bit inconsistent and choosing to perform 3 Meat Puppets covers is...interesting. They probably should have just stopped after inserting "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and "The Man Who Sold The World".
Wanted and expected to like this more than I actually did.
Nostalgic, intimate, good set list. Hard to overestimate the sense of persistent emotional authenticity Nirvana gave us at the time. I mean they were doing this while radio stations were blasting the Crash Test Dummies and Joan Osbourne. Also hard to overestate how good an idea the unplugged model was. Drummer sucked though.
I don't think being live really added much to this one and a lot of these songs are covers. That said it's still really good. Middle 3.
Pretty standard expectation from Nirvana. Not the biggest fan of the live/acoustic sound from them but no complaints. 5/10 Fav: The man who sold world
OK, didn't like the live concert nature of it. A bit too repetitive.
nice acoustic rock. not my cuppa tea though.
I really like Nirvana, but I'm not a huge fan of acoustic albums, nor of live albums.
I hate Nirvana! Not the people — Kurt seems like a tragic genius that I would enjoy having a beer with, while Krist and Dave seems like suprisingly down to earth. I just don't agree with the musical idead that these three men came up with. Still, well-crafted and solid performance — just don't like the songs.
pretty good but not really my style. i did recognize a couple songs from cultural osmosis
Enjoyed this album. Mainly covers of others songs but still enjoyable
One of my favorites
I prefer Alice In Chains Unplugged album over this, but this is decent nonetheless. The covers are better than the originals with the possible exception of All Apologies. It's also somewhat sad as this was the final recording of Kurt Cobain.
This one had a fair amount of personal significance - I remember Kurt dying. But I haven't listened to it for a while, and (maybe because I listened rather than watched) it didn't grab me as much as the studio albums. Still, there's something there, and the Bowie cover is wonderful.
Obviously an important album, with the band in a fragile state, and unsure if they would be able to carry it off. Kurt sings very well indeed, raw and emotional.
I'm a child of the '90s and was way overexposed to this album. I was famously a bit of a Nirvana hater in my youth. I haven't gone out of my way to listen to Nirvana much since their heyday, but I went into this with an open mind. It's a good recording and they don't sound bad, but it's repetitive at times and the songs I liked the most here were all covers.
Bra lyssning. Uppskattar att det är unplugged mer nu än tidigare. Skönare sound. Inget som direkt fastnar förutom deras hits som man hört mycket.
Good live album, I was surprised how much they sounded like REM! The Man Who Sold the World is a great cover
So much to say but this album has been reviewed and discussed so much there’s really no need. Except I’m gonna do it anyway. Nirvana is and always has been one of my least favorite Seattle bands. I’d take Alice In Chains Unplugged over this “eFF the Man” performance every time. Dirt, Superunknown and Ten are all better records than anything Nirvana ever made (yeah, I said it) and the quirkiness sounds more forced than genuine at times. This performance is the embodiment of that. It is literally a premeditated, forced sounding concert because that is exactly what Kurt wanted it to be- anything BUT the hits. That all said: it has its moments for sure. The most obvious of which is the Swan Song of this performance and ultimately his career and life- Where Did You Sleep Last Night. That performance may be at or near the top of the list of most powerful things ever captured. The breath!!! The LOOK. Anyone that saw that live when it was performed or later when it was broadcast (which I did watch by the way) immediately saw a man in excruciating pain. There were no walls anymore, it was like watching him right there in your living room, being with him and yet not being able to do a thing. I vividly remember thinking to myself at the time “Holy Shit, that guy is fucked and probably gonna kill himself.” Sadly I was right. In any case: Best song: WDYSLN Worst song: about 4 or 5 could have been replaced in this setlist if Kurt wasn’t so obsessed with sticking it to the man but “Jesus Don’t want me for a sunbeam “”Plateau “ and particularly “Oh Me” could’ve easily been yanked for “Scentless Apprentice””Breed” and “Drain You” for a far better setlist. But that’s just me. The good is great, the rest is interesting and pretty good. I don’t often put this album on and that always says a lot to me. If we were hangs then… but we aren’t. Sometimes in life it’s okay to let people like you. Wish he’d figured that out.
This is not for me. I also don't enjoy much of Nirvana's studio work. I can give it three stars, though, because it isn't a bad album.
Good selection of songs. Sometimes it's a bit samey, but I guess that's the risk when going unplugged. I enjoyed the inclusion of the accordeon. The best song was The Man Who Sold The World. That's just a great song.
Ah Nirvana, the champagne of grunge. I'll give it to Cobain that he could pick some good covers. I generally like acoustic versions of pop songs & this was OK, though didn't do much to showcase their musicianship. At certain points his vocal straining actually made my throat hurt.
I do believe I like this album more than their studio work.
I get it, but I don't necessarily like it. Still groundbreaking and raw and deserving of this list. 6.5/10 (3.25/5)
meeh
Never listened to Nirvana before. It was pretty good.
This album was fine, I guess. It's a decent show from a decent band I'm never going to get the cult-like hype over (I'm always going to be that person who doesn't quite get Nirvana). Kurt's voice is rough on a lot of these songs, especially at the beginning. He's whiny and hoarse and pitchy. It's like a bad country singer trying to do rock karaoke (or vice versa?). The duet he does with the Meat Puppets is actually painful to listen to — those "harmonies" are yikes. When the producer asks them to try redoing the song with Dave Grohl playing guitar so the Meat Puppets dude can "focus" on "singing" I laughed. It was only slightly better the second time. I also laughed when Kurt said they didn't want to play "Dumb" and "Polly" back to back because then people would realize they're the same song. The covers on this album are better than most of the originals. The Bowie cover is probably the best part of the performance. I originally listened to the album just on audio and had a hard time understanding any of what Kurt was saying in between the songs. Then I went back and watched the transitions between the songs on video (it's actually pretty cool that Tidal has the show embedded in the album), and it improved my experience a little once I could hear what they were saying and see Kurt — he comes off as more playful than surly when you actually watch it. I don't think I've ever seen the whole Unplugged show — again, not a huge Nirvana fan — but I've of course been aware of it forever and know the hype around it. But I'm sorry, it's just not the best MTV Unplugged performance. Shakira's probably is. The Cure's is a close second (tiny toy pianos and the audience helping out on The Walk with kazoos — go watch it if you haven't seen it!). 3/5 — would probably give it a 3.5 because Kurt's kind of funny and I do appreciate how they demystify/take the piss out of the smoke and mirrors that go into filming a concert for TV. But as a pure musical performance, it's not that great.
Never unplug.
Not a bad live record, but not a great album worthy of the list. I was the target demographic and a fan at the time so this brought back some memories. My favourite thing about this album is that it introduced me to "The Man Who Sold The World", which I think is better than Bowie's original.
don't like nirvana when they're not unplugged. and don't like them more when they are unplugged. unplug my ass
Best Nirvana album, which is something I guess...
Better than I thought it would be but Cobains voice got annoying after a while
5/10 - I’m not the biggest fan of nirvana and this album as a whole was just kind of the same nirvana that I have heard before. Although I thought I’m on a plain was so funny for some reason.
Watched every unplugged multiple times loved them
The album that launched an entire genre of Unplugged music…for better or for worse. I remember watching it when it aired on MTV, my whole cohort thinking “wow, Nirvana where you can actually understand what they’re saying!” Too bad it hasn’t aged well. The songs mostly sound the same here - natural, I suppose, given the live studio setting. But that also robs most of the songs of the raw power and angst that defined Nirvana. The song that retains it the most is the closer, Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, which is a damn fine cover. This was Nirvana for the masses, and I give it a round of the same polite applause that the studio audience does.
Tycker ändå Nirvana är lite överskattade. Alice in chains är mycket bättre
Made me want to see what other unplugged albums are out there. 3.4.
Not really my vibe. I probably would have liked it more when I was younger tbh.
Ad naseum at the time
Not a big fan of live albums. Some classic songs though
Probably the least essential item in the nirvana catalog. Still fun to hear - no issue if these songs came up on shuffle. Good selection of covers, and props for introducing the Meat Puppets to a larger audience. But still isn’t the Nirvana album I’d run to first.
good live performance but give me an actual nirvana album
I enjoyed this album as a stripped down version of Nirvana. My favorite is the cover of “the man who sold the world”
Je suis ni un grand fan de Nirvana, ni d'album live, et d'encore moins de musique acoustique, mais je dois admettre que c'est d'la bonne sauce mis tout ensemble
I’m a fan of most of the songs on here, but not a fan of the live feel.
Never really listened to any Nirvana outside of Teen Spirit, this was a pretty awesome introduction to the band. My favourite song was by far the David Bowie cover... but outside of that I just found this to be a very enjoyable album thought I wouldn't say there where many standouts for me there also wasn't any short comings if that makes sense.
Nirvana is iconic, no doubt. Numerous classics that are worthy of a listen and appreciation. Having said that, Nirvana is not a band I've ever gotten into nor sought out; most songs sound the same to me and there are countless other bands/singers/sounds that I prefer.
Being a 90s band, I didn’t really listen to Nirvana, but I do like some of their music.
Not as groundbreaking as MTV wants you to believe. This and carson Daily are why MTV sucks.
Live vocals from Cobain were raw and felt more personal than Nevermind. 3/5
Was expecting more from this, based on the couple songs I had heard in the past. Part of the appeal of Nirvana is the fact that they combine really catchy almost pop-ish melodies with a explosive explosive instrumentation that has a genuine edge. Kurt Cobain can sing the living hell out of a song, and his voice has a yearning, an anger and delicateness which put's all of Nirvana's elements together. The issue I have with the unplugged, is that a lot of songs don't hold up as well in the acoustic format. Songs like "Come as you Are" "I'm on a plain" lose of all their thrill factor and don't hold up well enough as compositions to excel in that context. Others though, like "All Apologies and Something in the way" lend themselves better to an acoustic format. The stand out of the show is Leadbelly's "Where do you sleep at night" where Kurt Cobain delivers an incredibly heart-felt vocal. The album attained a legendary status, in part because seeing the top grunge icons of the day (especially one so punky) playing acoustic with a really beautiful setting was no doubt really interesting at the time, and Kurt Cobain's pre-mature death gives seeing such an intimate performance an added dimension. If you take out Nirvana's status as grunge legends and all the mystique that exists around them, what you have is a band that doesn't sound it's best in an acoustic format. An exceptional singer delivering songs that don't hold up as well in an acoustic format
I like the Bowie cover and, I suspect, so did Kurt.
Great early, weak middle, good ending.
Pretty good but I would almost always prefer to listen to the original versions of these songs; also why is the global rating so crazy high
Hadn't heard this full album before. Last song was a great version, the rest was enjoyable
I like how they did what they wanted to for this — almost no hits, three Meat Puppet covers, Leadbelly — but a lot of this sounds the same. Fine, but no great shakes.
I like Nirvana - but this record sounds not inspiring for me. Sorry
The first half was very boring and uninspiring, the second half redeemed it slightly and made it worthy of a 3.
Very solid, but overhyped
I liked it! Good. That last time is beautiful withh his vocals! Wow
i kinda wish id liked it more but...
