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

Advantages: Chilled out,familiar,still got that magic,more mature vocals make songs emotionally stronger.
Disadvantages: Not really any new material but it does give you something new in sound and feel.

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.

As an album is should not be confused as a money spinning rerelease of the original but should be celebrated for ... Read review

Advantages: Great voice; new versions of old songs
Disadvantages: No new material -but i guess that is the point of the album.

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 ... Read review
