i hated it
no I'm not doing this, fuck you
Yeah, I was in middle school too, like any one else. But with 20 years to reflect I can confidently say this album sucks shit. The whole reason I listened to Nirvana was for the hard rock noise that would soon become the staple of classic rock stations. Not for folky cover songs.
not my style
no me gusta nirvana mil disculpas
Unplugged more like un good. I’ve never really gotten into nirvana or grunge in general and this live set with all the energizing electric sounds removed certainly didn’t change my mind. Plateau here is genuinely one of the worst vocal performances I’ve heard.
Garbage worst band in the HISTORY Of EVER. Thanks for the 1st one. Next better be better...smh
What a load of absolute keach! Just proves how untalented they were.
You've been wasting so much time on trash, and not enough time showing albums I actually listen to. I've been playing the albums I actually want to hear, instead of what ever crap you throw at the wall. SMH
Hot take: this wouldn't have been as popular if Kurt hadn't died a couple of months after this aired. This isn't even the best MTV Unplugged album, "nevermind" that it's not even the best Nirvana album. 1/5 Pearl Jam unplugged should have made the list instead.
整体感觉很经典。但不是非常吸引我，也许在90年代算牛逼。主唱似乎某些地方在扯嗓子
Oh so whiney. Nirvana are not my cup of tea.
Shite
Livealbum
Oh god please not the 2 worst things imaginable: Live and Unplugged. Urgh The man who sold the World is always great though.
Fucking agonizing
Basic
don't @ me bro
Couldn't listen to, it was so whiney. I've never liked grunge.
Utter nonsense and absolute garbage. Cobain is so overrated
Genuinely one of the most overrated live albums of all time
Never cared for them.
This demonstrates what I already suspected - that under all the noise and oversaturated amps Nirvana is just an amateur band. It sounds like a wedding band but the lead singer was too drunk to sing so the guitarist is filling in for him (even though he's also drunk).
Not for me.
very overrated band and album
I don't understand the concept of live albums, and I despise this band. I'd give it a 0 if I could.
The most overrated band of all time doing unplugged versions of their sloppy covers and original noises. How we got Dave Grohl from this wreckage is a miracle no historian has been able to explain. It was nice of Pat Smear to show up to this and help out with a tuned guitar, because Kurt wasn't going to do that. And that guy simply cannot sing. He'd be cut off and kicked out of a townie bar's karaoke night where they put up with the burned out town bicycle who thinks her cigarette coated vocal chords sound like Janis Joplin. Simply awful, and this nonsense where we have to pretend Nirvana is something to be reverent toward is absolute trash. F-
Blech.
Teško da postoji bend koji mi izaziva veću nervozu od Nirvane, iz dna duše ih ne mogu čuti. Možda se Radiohead približava toj razini hejta, ali oni mi barem nisu iskakali iz paštete cijeli život. Po meni je Nirvana jako overrated i nikad nisam (!) razumjela ljude koji ih aktivno slušaju. Probala sam slušati nakon dugo godina otklanjanja sama sebe iz svake situacije gdje sam ih prisiljena slušati, ali jednostavno ne mogu. Jbg, znala sam da će biti tu i da će doći taj trenutak. A sad si idem pustiti nešto za oporavak od ovog. 1/5, 1/10
not much of a fan its meh alright i guess
I can't stand Nirvana. This album does nothing to change that. Kurt's guitar is out of tune. Somebody's guitar gets run through overdrive, completely defying the spirit of "unplugged." I'm sure it was all about "they can't tell us what to do!" which completely missed the point of the unplugged exercise, which is to set up a limitation that requires creativity to get around. The best song on here is the Bowie cover, and even that is hard to listen to because of the vocals. 1 star.
Livealbum
Boring
Nirvana…. The band that started the grunge rock band movement. Music is ok. A little to weird,and hard for me.
Yawn. I'd put this on if I was having trouble falling asleep.
Legendärer Grunge... 1S
It’s possible I’m broken. After all this was my generation and I’m supposed to love this band. Just like I’m supposed to love Van Halen. Simply can not stand either one though.
Boring. 1
Overrated.
Grunge is just not my thing... And I know it's Unplugged, but unplugged can be fun and exiting... This was just plain boring... 1/5
Dnf
Live album = 1 star, sorry Diogo...
Nirvana is definitely not my vibe
Nirvana is overrated and I don't like acoustics songs or live versions. studio version is at least better for every song, but this didn't work for me. guitarist is great at least
I thought MAYBE live acoustic Nirvana might be better- NOPE. First off it’s not really unplugged, just mostly unplugged, which makes sense because you’ve gotta have real chips to play without amplification. Secondly, unplugged or not it doesn’t really matter since Nirvana songs all sound like a whiney soy boy trying to pass a watermelon.
Was macht dieses Album so besonders? ...
Sorry Nirvana, but I think you need the grungy electric sound back to hide poor playing and off-tune signing. Giving "being held hostage by a white guy with a guitar at a party" vibes. Couldn't get through the album.
Having never been much of a Nirvana listener or even admirer, this was a tougher sell still. I should not have come into the album expecting to unravel some softer, more intimate side of this much revered band. This is certainly highly rated, provided you already like these songs and Kurt Cobain's atrocious vocals that to a disinterested consumer sound close to that Puddle of Mudd cover of Nirvana. Dumb hot take, but that is how I feel.
interesting to listen to unplugged. can hear the lyrics and some personality of the band members between sets. personally wouldn't listen a second time though
The musical artists I listen to I want to be truly artists…not “artists”. Nothing artistic going on here. Bad sounding guitars poorly played, melody apparently optional, words that are not deep but seemingly the stupid hallucinated rantings of a drug addled brain. One of the best live albums of all time? C’mon!!
Never been a fan of the grunge rock genre.
Sorry Zach
This is not an album that I like. Very amateurish compositions and performance. I didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it. Grade: 1/5
2 good songs I could listen to in regular rotation, but only this acoustic version. The balance of the album is dark and morose and very much not my taste.
An album that defines the phrase, "The Emperor has no clothes".
meh
not a fan. introduced to a bowie tune.
I gave it as open minded a listen as possible, but I’m sorry: it was dull then, and it’s still dull now. The best facet of the band from an instrumental perspective is Grohl’s drumming, which isn’t a factor here. The best riffs belong to the Meat Puppets (credited) and Killing Joke (famously not credited). And the best music in general is made by those less interested in becoming a cadaver.
Do not like Nirvana. Dumb was okay
I love this album. But, as I've been clear and consistent about it before, live albums are essentially a collection of other songs from other albums, in which case, "The Best of ..." deserves consideration for this list of albums. The rating is not a reflection of the quality of artists or the music.
Nirvana is a band that doesn't even deserve to have one album on this list, let alone three. And one of them is this, a live album (because two whole studio albums weren't enough, apparently) that sounds even more boring and lethargic than the studio versions. Some of the covers were okay, but those were written by other people, so I can't give Nirvana credit for them.
Makes me forget where I am. 😴 Kinda bad
hm a live album. I'm sure their acoustics are fine, but I'll pass on this.
I'm sure I will never get the appeal of this band. Really of Kurt Cobain. I never have come close to connecting with the jarring amelodic chord changes, the not-interesting and bad/sloppy guitar playing, and... the distractingly awful vocals. And that was for the studio-produced albums where you can polish up a turd so to speak, so having put it in an acoustic format.... ugh. The first few songs are fine in a "ehh..." kind of way then when Kurt Cobain starts wailing...I cannot. His voice makes me want to hurt myself. I remember watching this on MTV when it was first televised, trying even then to tap into something. In the "competition" during the birth of grunge (admittedly silly, all that) gimme Pearl Jam every damn time. I do not like. 2/10 1 star.
Meh
not only was this a live album 🤢 but it was a bad one too. his voice was just irritable and painful to listen to. overall pretty disappointing. I really like the last track though, all the other songs lacked that passion and interest. boo
Yes.
