And.it becomes clearer than ever just how much Nirvana owed to less feted Americans such as The Sneakers, dBs and Mitch Easter's Let's Active." Alternative Press (1/95, pp.63-64) - ".UNPLUGGED is about as fine a memento mori as anyone could hope for." Melody Maker (10/29/94, p.35) - ".gut-twistingly poignant.a fine and unreservedly recommended album, a melancholy masterpiece." Village Voice (2/28/95) - Ranked #4 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll. Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.56) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's." Rolling Stone (10/1/94, pp.120-121) - 4 Stars - Excellent - ".Nirvana's performance is stirring and occasionally brilliant, electricity be damned.Without the wild blasts ordinarily produced to fire Nirvana's sound, Cobain's love-buzz vocals are the focus." Spin (1/95, p.71) - Highly Recommended - ".UNPLUGGED captures the moment of Nirvana bathing in its own richly deserved light, and though the moment couldn't last, nothing in the music suggests that there was anything inevitable or natural about the next chapter of the story." Entertainment Weekly (11/4/94, pp.70-71) - ".Listening to MTV UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is an unsettling experience.the ncentrates on the numbed-out chamber-grunge licacy and intimacy of these acoustic re-arrangements hint.where uld have gone." - Rating: A Q (12/99, p.82) - Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums Of The 1990s." Q (12/94, p.147) - 4 Stars - Excellent - ".stripped of the noise.the band sounds most moving, possessed of a ragged glory. It's also clear that they could have made even greater music. By the time Nirvana close with a wrenching, spine-chilling version of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," the emotional complexity of Nirvana's music is clear. Every version of their previously recorded songs, with the possible exception of "On a Plain," dramatically improves the original, and the covers reveal more about Cobain than he intended. Instead of relying on the trio's overpowering sonic force, Unplugged concentrates on Kurt Cobain's subtly shaded songwriting and Nirvana's deceptively simple musical power. While it's an album of covers and old songs, it ranks as one of the band's most cohesive records. Sadly, MTV Unplugged stands as Nirvana's last album.

Few records are as unblinkingly bare and naked as this, especially albums recorded by their peers. Then, there's the subtexts, as Kurt's hurt and suicidal impulses bubble to the surface even as he's trying to suppress them. As it turns out, it accomplishes its goals rather too well this is a band, and songwriter, on the verge of discovering a new sound and style. It's a nakedly emotional record, unintentionally so, as the subtext means more than the main themes of how Nirvana wanted to prove its worth and diversity, showcasing the depth of their songwriting. circa Automatic for the People, it's the Nirvana record that nobody, especially Kurt, wanted revealed. Is it the choice of material or the spare surroundings that make it so effective? Well, it's certainly a combination of both, how the version of the Vaselines' "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" or the three covers of Meat Puppets II songs mean as much as "All Apologies" or "Something in the Way." This, in many senses, isn't just an abnormal Nirvana record, capturing them in their sincerest desire to be R.E.M. If In Utero is a suicide note, MTV Unplugged in New York is a message from beyond the grave, a summation of Kurt Cobain's talents and pain so fascinating, it's hard to listen to repeatedly.
