I have long been a fan of X, and of most of John Doe's solo work, so I feel obligated to be kind and respectful in this review.There is an obvious appeal to hearing acoustic versions of familiar songs, but in this case, the more raw versions do not do the band justice. In the original versions you can sometimes hear odd harmonies that work. On "Unclogged", the "odd harmonies" merely sound like two singers not in sync with each other... to put it kindly.That said, I would steer fans away from this album, and instead steer them toward their other release "Beyond And Back: The X Anthology". For solo work, I would also recommend John's "A Year In The Wilderness".
