Nirvana-Unlpugged
Like all unplugged albums there is an initial shock hearing your favorite plugged in songs that are stripped down. I'm not a musician but I've heard that electric instruments are bit more forgiving than acoustic ones. So you have really have to avoid mistakes and be very careful. This album also has a particularly somber mood-I'm fairly certain it was the first release after the death of Kurt Cobain.
The album is (surprise!) outstanding. It's Nirvana after all, and I remain convinced that they simply cannot create a bad album. Nirvana is so acclaimed that they walk right up to the line of being almost overrated. In fact, some backlash has occurred against them-did they define the music of the era or did they just come along at the right time?
They defined not only the music, but the era as well. As a closing chapter to their band this album is five stars. Moody and sentimental but still with the giant middle finger to the world that Nirvana epitomizes-every song on the album is unforgettable.
