Judicious pruning of these two discs -- one of ten electric howlers; a second of ten more new songs, minus the fuzz and screaming -- to a single CD would have made for a more powerful hour of Honor. The Beatlemaniac in ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl runs riot, with grace and melodic detail, on the unplugged set. The amplified half could have used more power-pop-with-spikes like "Resolve," which answers the nagging question: How would Nevermind have sounded if it had been made by Cheap Trick?

Next: Amadou and Mariam, Dimanche a Bamako
