Summary: Amazing
Comment: Best MTV unplugged album made. Proved Nirvana could do a lot more then just play grunge. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and "The Man Who Sold The World" are covers that in my opinion are better then even the originals. Great album, not a single song I would skip over.

Summary: No one's better
Comment: Nirvana rules. Kirt Cobain would have been a zillionaire if he wasn't so stupid and killing himself. This guy has a heavenly voice, His music is the best, the songs are just so cool. This cd is the best one he has though, the others are good, but this one rocks

Summary: Something in the way
Comment: Since "In Utero" sounded so haunted after Cobain's death, I expected "MTV Unplugged" to render him even more ghostly. Not the case. Kurt Cobain sounds more alive on this record than he did on their first, or on their second, or on their last. This performance represents Cobain not as a rock messiah or a tragic figure but as one hell of a human being. Stripped of their explosive studio arrangements, his songs are every wave as resonant, and he inserts himself into each word of his covers. As Robert Christgau pointed out, on this recording Kurt sounds like John Lennon. Novoselic and Grohl sound pretty good too, but this one's all about Cobain--the artist, and especially the man.

Summary: A Moving Album
Comment: There is an on honest an very moving atmosphere on this Nirvana album which sadly would their final. The half-acoustic approach really reveals how great Nirvana's best songs are and that they work very well outside the traditional Nirvana concept. Some of them actually works better than on the studio albums; moreover there are some great cover-versions here, not least the outsstanding David Bowie song "The Man Who Sold the World" - and the sad "Jesus Doesn't Want me for a Sunbeam". The cello played by Lori Goldston really add new dimensions to many of these songs.
On three tracks Nirvarna is supported by the Kirkwood brothers and they play Meat Puppets songs together. Of those both "Oh Me" and "Lake of Fire" sound like Nirvana songs.
Great moving album and also a little sad - especially when you come to think about that these recordings were among the very last that Curt Kobain lived to do.
