A Moving Album December 13, 2008
Morten Vindberg
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.
"In the sun, I feel as one..." December 10, 2008
ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
MTV Unplugged concert featuring Nirvana is one of the best in the series. This cd is sad to hear sometimes because this concert was recorded and filmed shortly before Kurt Cobain ended his life. Kurt's voice is so strong and yet so delicate, songs like All Apologies, Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam, Dumb, About A Girl, and Pennyroyal Tea are beautifully arranged in a stipped down setting. I love this band, I highly recommend this timeless classic, enjoy!

The clarity of this "soundtrack" is simply amazing. MTV did a superb job with the setup of this event. I was blown away when I heard the cd version, but hearing it with my cheap Yamaha equipment in DTS took it to another level. It is a shame he is still not around; what an amazing talent this guy had. RIP KC.

It's amazing, but not unexpected, to see such a lack of pretense throughout these acoustic translations of much heavier material. The entire concert was bathed in Cobain's tragic warmth and frazzled soul, injecting a tremendous amount of integrity into nearly every strum and vocalization, while the band backs up at their restrained best, revealing a side seldom seen, and one fans were most fortunate to have seen before the end.
Amazing! May 4, 2008

In my opinion, the greatest MTV Unplugged album ever. They proved that they were more than just a grunge band, and Cobain brought his pain briefly to the surface.
