Unplugged is mostly pointless. Just wannabe arty crap that tries to call you out by saying "It's acoustic so therefore it's more artistically relevant and if you don't like it then you're a Philistine". None of the songs on that album are as good as the studio versions. "Dumb" is great, but it's still not better than the original. Why anyone would think that music derived from simplistic punk rock made specifically for electric instruments to be played at as high a volume as possible could be made better with quiet, acoustic strumming is beyond me. The fact that they had to ignore a large part of their catalogue and concentrate on their few "softer" songs should have given it away. The only reason to buy that album unless you're a Nirvana fanatic is the covers. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is easily one of the best songs they ever recorded (a song they were covering because it was played by a guy who plays on an acoustic guitar I might add).
