as the extended nirvana family of Cobain consisting of Kris Novoselic, Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, cellist Lori Goldston and some members of the Meat Puppets, the New York MTV studios entered to record an album no one thought that a grunge band ever capable of doing was ,
it should in fact be an acoustic album, it could know how emotionally would be the result found no one ...
ever: a merciless oversteering band makes suddenly quiet and well-mannered? the laughter was at the start great .....
Only Kurt sat a sign pointing to what this band was capable of such great musicians could play.
we start with the number "Come As You Are", a benchmark of the band. the adaptation to the acoustic wave does this number tremendously well. gripping, shouting, questioning twists Cobain by this great text ..
"Jesus doesnt want me for a sunbeam" represents one of the most emotional numbers of the setlist is, Novoselic changes here from the bass to the accordion, the whole band sprayed here 4 minutes confidence sets never with Cobain, why? he places here but a world class ballad on the dance floor which is EBSO sad how beautiful ....
"The Man Who Sold the World", known as a Bowie number exudes much charm and power, Cobain's semi-acoustic Epiphone guitar comes here clear advantage. the cover in my opinion better than the original.
a great moment follows when Cobain decides "Pennyroyal Tea" with no band to sing. only he and his guitar. Here at last is a conscious how great a loss a Kurt Cobain was in reality. this elegiac, pulling down way of singing, these simple but great chords, this feeling that it rips him immediately. this beusste pain in his voice. without word !!
the quiet pieces ala "dumb", "Polly" or "Something in the Way" wear out to seamlessly and give a total of a great work of art.
a blues standard, completed in the style of Leadbelly, the procedure which proved to be a excited exorcism and shows repeated the class of Cobain on.
he was someone of the musical heritage of America with his hoarse voice in the present day could transport.
Conclusion: a highly emotional disc which I usually hear when I'm very sad. when Cobain sighs, it seems as if the whole world collapse on him. A short time later he was dead. that's what unplugged for an album makes towards the listener and again may come dangerously close ...
a must-have!
