Originally released in 2006 for fan club members, ‘Unplugged in Boston’ is a live acoustic album by thrash metal legends Megadeth, recorded in 2001 whilst touring for their album, ‘The World Needs a Hero’. While there’s nothing overly wrong with this, in all honesty, there’s nothing right with it, either. Who actually wanted to hear acoustic versions of Megadeth songs? Anyone? Didn’t think so.
Not that there’s anything bad about them, the performances are good and the sound is fine for what it is, but this is Megadeth. Some bands’ songs lend themselves well to more intimate, acoustic settings. Megadeth isn’t one of them!
At 40 minutes in duration, it’s a harmless listen, and is an acceptable addition to any Megadeth fans’ collection, but really, wouldn’t you rather listen to this songs with distorted guitars, pounding drums, and just a little bit of that Dave Mustaine attitude? I know I would.
