Rather, the live effort is among the most emotionally naked spectacles ever released an album so starkly intense and profoundly personal, it's impossible not to get chills down the spine. Unlike any other unplugged affair, the diverse album is not a simple stripped-down regurgitation of greatest hits or a cash-it-in set of nostalgic favorites. Recorded in November 1993, less than six months before singer Kurt Cobain killed himself, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged is a watershed document that presents a band at the peak of its powers.

Mojo (Publisher) (p.64) - Ranked #09 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" - "Brittle and heartbruised, Nirvana's songs were stripped bare and scratched out on an acoustic guitar." Mojo (Publisher) (1/95, p.51) - Included in Mojo's "25 Best Albums of 1994" - ".a performance of raw vulnerability that served as the perfect epitaph for poor Kurt Cobain." New York Times (Publisher) (1/5/95, p.C15) - Included on Neil Strauss' list of the Top 10 Albums of '94 - ".These songs.

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. UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK is part of MTV's "Unplugged" series. Recorded live at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York on November 18, 1993. Additional personnel: Cris Kirkwood (acoustic guitar, bass) Pat Smear, Curt Kirkwood (acoustic guitar) Lori Goldston (cello). Nirvana: Kurt Cobain (vocals, acoustic guitar) Dave Grohl (vocals, bass, drums) Krist Novoselic (guitar, accordion, bass).
