Pros: excellent performances delivered with raw emotion; interesting cover choices Cons: none
After three studio albums of aggressive and at times abrasive music, Nirvana stripped away that punk edge for their 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. What remained revealed Nirvana as the true musicians they were. As awesome as their noisy ...
Pros: Good cover songs, first time acoustic guitar performance. good songs at the beggining and end. Cons: too many slow songs in the middle.
Who would have expected that the noisiest band of the 90"s, the top hated band by parents could come out and create music so soothing and touching. This album is deep, Kurt finally puts out his sensitive and gentle side. Starting from their first album ...
On November 18th 1993, the kings of 'grunge' stepped into a small studio filled with fans to perform an acoustic set. The traditionalist would have expected, or wanted, them to play the obvious likes of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Heart Shaped Box. But ...
Pros: Every song. Kurt's goodbye to the world. Cons: Absolutely nothing
This is the last record that we received from the most amazing band to emerge in the last 25 years or so. It had a very eerie feel to it and looking back, you can really see and hear the anguish in Kurt's voice. This is one of the absolute greatest ...
Pros: "Nirvana Toned Down" as one critic put it, with the beauty really coming out. Cons: Maybe I don't have glasses but...
You really have to admit that when you strip a band of it's distortion pedal, give it some acoustics and give it only one electronic device - the almighty mic - their talent will show. And that's really what Nirvana had a lot of: fuzz. It was distorted ...
Pros: amazing unplugged performance, excellent choice of cover songs Cons: Kurt Cobain's dead, no other unplugged performance has reached the same standard
Welcome to the nineties, or should I say early nineties, where something has changed the state of rock. Nirvana have brought the state of mainstream away from hair metal into grunge, a genre which usually refers to the Seattle scene back in 1991 – ...
Pros: Everything from track 4 up. Cons: Track 3 down.
This is part of my first write-off, the Ten Obstructions Write-Off. Guildenstern (yes, of Epinions fame) sums it up perfectly: "You might at first wonder why we need a collection of Nirvana’s songs in an acoustic unplugged version. After all, the ...
Pros: A full album of great acoustic tracks and amazing live recordings. Cons: None.
When I first listened to Nirvanas Unplugged album I took off my headphones and just thought to myself. Wow. This CD is 100% pure gold. I had heard of the concert and I had heard that it was possibly the most touching acoustic performance ever recorded ...
This marks the third time I've tried to write a review of Nirvana Unplugged in New York. What makes it so hard to exactly pinpoint the magic and the fear behind this release? Well, for one thing, nearly half of the songs in this performance weren't even ...
Pros: Nirvana's equivalent of Nebraska, Blood On The Tracks etc. Cons: Let me get back to you on that.
The unplugged album, like the "Grunge explosion", was a hallmark of early 1990s rock and roll. Like the Northwest music movement, it produced a lot of music, yet it only left behind a few truly enduring albums. Eric Clapton's classic Unplugged is ...
Pros: Kurt Cobain, just about all the songs, chilling All Apologies song Cons: A couple songs could have been better
When Nirvana agreed to perform all their major hits from their long-lasting collection of grunge albums, many people questioned them. Were they going to be able to pull off songs like About a Girl or All Apologies on acoustics? Nirvana answered that ...
Pros: Nirvana Live In Your Sitting Room. Cons: The Dying Of The Light.
Who would have ever thought that an album of acoustic Nirvana songs would work. The release of this album in the wake of Kurt Cobain's suicide no doubt boosted sales but it proved without doubt the inherent power of Nirvana's music. It also highlighted...
Pros: Emotional, introspective, intelligent and creative... Cons: The posthumous release...
Of all the albums I grew to love and appreciate while in high school, one stand out. No, I’m not talking about Stone Temple Pilots or Alice in Chains. I’m not speaking specifically of Nevermind. Nirvana, in my humble opinion, was at the...
