Nirvana…. The band that started the grunge rock band movement. Music is ok. A little to weird,and hard for me.
Yawn. I'd put this on if I was having trouble falling asleep.
Legendärer Grunge... 1S
It’s possible I’m broken. After all this was my generation and I’m supposed to love this band. Just like I’m supposed to love Van Halen. Simply can not stand either one though.
Boring. 1
Overrated.
Grunge is just not my thing... And I know it's Unplugged, but unplugged can be fun and exiting... This was just plain boring... 1/5

Live album = 1 star, sorry Diogo...
Nirvana is definitely not my vibe
Nirvana is overrated and I don't like acoustics songs or live versions. studio version is at least better for every song, but this didn't work for me. guitarist is great at least
I thought MAYBE live acoustic Nirvana might be better- NOPE. First off it’s not really unplugged, just mostly unplugged, which makes sense because you’ve gotta have real chips to play without amplification. Secondly, unplugged or not it doesn’t really matter since Nirvana songs all sound like a whiney soy boy trying to pass a watermelon.
Was macht dieses Album so besonders? ...
Sorry Nirvana, but I think you need the grungy electric sound back to hide poor playing and off-tune signing. Giving "being held hostage by a white guy with a guitar at a party" vibes. Couldn't get through the album.
Having never been much of a Nirvana listener or even admirer, this was a tougher sell still. I should not have come into the album expecting to unravel some softer, more intimate side of this much revered band. This is certainly highly rated, provided you already like these songs and Kurt Cobain's atrocious vocals that to a disinterested consumer sound close to that Puddle of Mudd cover of Nirvana. Dumb hot take, but that is how I feel.
interesting to listen to unplugged. can hear the lyrics and some personality of the band members between sets. personally wouldn't listen a second time though
The musical artists I listen to I want to be truly artists…not “artists”. Nothing artistic going on here. Bad sounding guitars poorly played, melody apparently optional, words that are not deep but seemingly the stupid hallucinated rantings of a drug addled brain. One of the best live albums of all time? C’mon!!
Never been a fan of the grunge rock genre.
Sorry Zach
This is not an album that I like. Very amateurish compositions and performance. I didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it. Grade: 1/5
2 good songs I could listen to in regular rotation, but only this acoustic version. The balance of the album is dark and morose and very much not my taste.
An album that defines the phrase, "The Emperor has no clothes".
meh
not a fan. introduced to a bowie tune.
I gave it as open minded a listen as possible, but I’m sorry: it was dull then, and it’s still dull now. The best facet of the band from an instrumental perspective is Grohl’s drumming, which isn’t a factor here. The best riffs belong to the Meat Puppets (credited) and Killing Joke (famously not credited). And the best music in general is made by those less interested in becoming a cadaver.
Do not like Nirvana. Dumb was okay
I love this album. But, as I've been clear and consistent about it before, live albums are essentially a collection of other songs from other albums, in which case, "The Best of ..." deserves consideration for this list of albums. The rating is not a reflection of the quality of artists or the music.
Nirvana is a band that doesn't even deserve to have one album on this list, let alone three. And one of them is this, a live album (because two whole studio albums weren't enough, apparently) that sounds even more boring and lethargic than the studio versions. Some of the covers were okay, but those were written by other people, so I can't give Nirvana credit for them.
Makes me forget where I am. 😴 Kinda bad
hm a live album. I'm sure their acoustics are fine, but I'll pass on this.
I'm sure I will never get the appeal of this band. Really of Kurt Cobain. I never have come close to connecting with the jarring amelodic chord changes, the not-interesting and bad/sloppy guitar playing, and... the distractingly awful vocals. And that was for the studio-produced albums where you can polish up a turd so to speak, so having put it in an acoustic format.... ugh. The first few songs are fine in a "ehh..." kind of way then when Kurt Cobain starts wailing...I cannot. His voice makes me want to hurt myself. I remember watching this on MTV when it was first televised, trying even then to tap into something. In the "competition" during the birth of grunge (admittedly silly, all that) gimme Pearl Jam every damn time. I do not like. 2/10 1 star.
Meh
not only was this a live album 🤢 but it was a bad one too. his voice was just irritable and painful to listen to. overall pretty disappointing. I really like the last track though, all the other songs lacked that passion and interest. boo
Yes.
