I played this album all of the time as a teenager. Having not listened to it in decades, it has not held up as well as other Nirvana albums for me. The lack of skill in Cobain's playing and singing, which works just fine for stuff that's noisy and sludgy, just doesn't work for me as an acoustic set any more. That said, the covers in this set I actually do still enjoy somewhat. I love the Bowie song, even if the performance is not the best, and the Meat Puppets section is also still a fun little set of 3 songs.

Haven't listened to this in a long time, but sung along to every song, so I guess that means something. 5/5

Stripping the songs down does them favors, they sound better with less bells and whistles even if Cobain’s spotty lyrics are as plain as day. But at the same time, he really strains his voice harder than he needed to here. I don’t think I’ll ever get the Nirvana hype. C-
