Jagged Little Pill (10th Anniversary Acoustic Version) [ECD] - Alanis Morissette

Jagged Little Pill Acoustic- released in 2005 suits the new Alanis really well. With her general albums showing a mellower (hippier) side, the acoustic take on the past albums is really a nice idea. The good thing about this album is that the songs still have the familiarity that they did before but with a slightly new sound. Now if you are expecting it to be an album of just Alanis and an acoustic six string, then you will be proved wrong! From ...
...of the first version of Jagged Little Pill and feel concerned that this album wont have anything to offer, then dont be concerned. This album really does offer something different and as I have got older, I think I now prefer this version. It really is something lovely to put on when travelling on a busy packed tube that makes you feel more chilled, more contemplative and stil gives you that edge with the cutting wit of her memorable and catchy lyrics. ...

Review of Jagged Little Pill (10th Anniversary Acoustic Version) [ECD] - Alanis Morissette

This album marks the 10 year anniversary of the release of Alanis' original 'Jagged Little Pill'. I was such a fan of Alanis' 1995 album, 'Jagged Little Pill' that when I saw the acoustic version advertised in the summer of this year (2005) I purchased a copy almost immediately. Apart from the fact that the songs are now heard as acoustic versions, there are some very subtle changes to the keys in which some of the songs are performed. "One hand ...
...more minor, making it a more interesting track than if it had simply been acoustic-ified! The tracks are as follows: 1. All I Really Want 2. You Oughta Know 3. Perfect 4. Hand In My Pocket 5. Right Through You 6. Forgiven 7. You Learn 8. Head Over Feet 9. Mary Jane 10. Ironic 11. Not the Doctor 12. Wake Up Overall, they are all more mellow, 'Head over feet' in particular - well, I only wish I'd heard this version before our wedding, we'd have ...

Review of Jagged Little Pill (10th Anniversary Acoustic Version) [ECD] - Alanis Morissette

...a fan of alanis's work, Jagged Little Pill (original) was my first taste at the age of 14 of her brilliant works and am now the proud owner of four of her albums. As my original Jagged Little Pill is somewhat lovingly worn I was pleased as punch - although a little dubious - when given the acoustic version. I did not need to be... As an album is should not be confused as a money spinning rerelease of the original but should be celebrated for the ...
...All the rifts still maintain the magic of good music and the vocals are fantastic. All the songs (including the hidden track) have been transformed into mellow, relaxing melodies that you could even get away with playing in the background when your grandmas over for dinner. It allows the listener to sing along, strum along or just quietly listen without having to be in an over excited loony state. In some cases the songs are that much more powerful. ...

Review of Jagged Little Pill (10th Anniversary Acoustic Version) [ECD] - Alanis Morissette

I bought this CD with a little hesitation as the original 'Jagged Little Pill' album back in 1995 was a classic. After being unimpressed with her last album 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' I wondered what the motives behind re-releasing this album in an accoustic format were. A quick and easy payday? Cashing in on the reputation and success of what has to be said was a great album? I'm glad to say that my fears were unfounded and that the album ...
...i have listened to have not detracted any from those on the original album - in fact i found myself listening to both albums in order to compare which version i found to be the best. I found this very difficult as each version has its own merits! The relaxing nature of the acoustic version is a contrast to the more 'rocky', upbeat style of the original. This CD has been playing in both my car and home stereo system for a couple of weeks now and ...
