Her intensely personal lyrics grabbed the headlines, but the bravest departure here is the way Morissette's unique vocals stand naked in the mix--a technique that drives home the painful honesty of tracks like "Right Through You," "Forgiven," and "All I Really Want." Sheryl Crow or an earthier Tori Amos are fair analogies, but Morissette is a genuine original with a rare ability to make listeners care, think, and question. --Jeff Bateman

5 out of 5 stars Beautifully poetic album that harnesses a spiritual energy .......2007-07-08

Alanis doesn't hold anything back with this immaculate emotional outpouring. As her engaging voice pulls you in, you almost get the feeling you're rummaging through her personal diary. She exposes herself with such a sense of raw vulnerability and unbridled emotion. Her insightful lyrics really show an enormous amount of character. Alanis is a beautiful person inside and out.
Okay, I've established my infatuation with this rock goddess, now back to her CD. It opens up with the catchy All I Really Want. As the rhythmic guitar and drums guide each verse, she asks questions and expresses herself with some random statements that all seem to come together.
Track two was her first release, You Oughtta Know. This is a powerful song in which the listener can vividly feel the anguish in her words. The lyrics are laced with not only pain, but also rage, sarcasm, and jealousy. It makes you wonder how far she went for revenge, the stupid ex-boyfriend undoubtedly was looking behind his back for months afterward.
Then there is a mellow tune called Perfect. She sings about some parents that have unreasonable expectations for their child.
A somber, bluesy sound comes next in Hand in my Pocket. Miss Morissette skillfully adds to this melodic piece with her harmonica. With her words she expresses a very humble, down-to-earth persona that I really admire.
Then comes a great song about female empowerment called Right Through You. She boldly states that she sees through the games and won't be disrespected.
The remainder of Jagged Little Pill is all super, with the songs Head Over Feet and Ironic highlighting this second half.
Overall, this is a landmark album that features basic and inseperable elements of love and pain, fear and strength, and truth and happiness. It's worth owning if you're a fan of music, poetry, or even the power of the human spirit.

5 out of 5 stars A Complete Effort From Start to Finish.......2007-06-30

When i first heard Alanis Morissette, it was in 1995 when "You Oughta Know" played on the radio. My first reaction to Morissette and "You Oughta Know" was not positive - it was "what is this, why is this woman so angry, and what is this chip on her shoulder?" Most of the "bubble gum" and synth-pop of the 1980s was beginning to fade, yet Morissette's anger just seemed too raw for me to absorb at the time. However as the subsequent singles ("Ironic", "Head Over Feet", "Hand in my Pocket") from Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album were released, I soon began to see more than an angry young woman. This got me curious enough - especially when the Grammy for Album of the Year was awarded to Morissette for "Jagged Little Pill". Once I acquired this album, I was blown away. There was so much more to this album than just an angry woman. After listening to the album many times, I even came around to discovering an appreciation to "You Oughta Know". No doubt that this album backed up a lot of the praise and sales that it racked up.

Many may be turned off by Morissette's raspy and screeching voice. However, Morissette demonstrates she has great vocal range - especially on "Jagged Little Pill". Barry Gibb built his falsetto into his own personal trademark and an integral part of his vocals. In a way, Morissette has established a trademark with her raspy and screechy voice. But as you listen to the voice, it is folded into her music at the appropriate times - making it very effective. Morissette's contributions focus around vocals, but she also contributes some harmonica.

A lot of credit for this album should go to Morissette's producer and collaborator, Glen Ballard. Ballard, does a great job at co-writing the music for the songs - providing a good mix of electric and acoustic guitars (which Ballard plays along with keyboards on several tracks). It is also clear that Ballard does a very effective job as a producer and gets the most out of Morissette on each of these tracks.

It is best looking at this track by track.

"All I Really Want": This song gives us an introduction to Morissette, the trademark screeching, her terrific vocal ranges, and some terrific electric guitar. We hear the anger in the lyrics - "I like to reel it in and then spit it out; I'm frustrated by your apathy", yet the lyrics "And all I really want is some patience; A way to calm the angry voice" indicate Morissette may want to calm it down a bit.

"You Oughta Know": Now I look at this song with sheer genius. The song deals with Morissette's angry reaction of being jilted by her lover. While the song starts with Morissette taking the high road, it launches into a scathing attack on her former lover. Terrific guitar and bass work by Dave Navarro and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers respectively really add to the effect, but ultimately it will be Morissette's outstanding vocal range that will bring this song to life.

"Perfect": This is another song where Morissette's vocal range really helps bring the song to life. The acoustic guitar start translated into the harder electric guitar is brilliant. Morissette plays the role of a strong mother putting pressure on her child for perfection.

"Hand in My Pocket": Morissette doesn't demonstrate the anger that is seen on the previous tracks. We hear some of her harmonica on a song in which Morissette confesses some of the hypocrisies that are going on in here life. (i.e. "I feel drunk but I'm sober")

"Right Through You": Great track and hear is where Morissette's trademark raspy voice comes along at the right times on the song. There is also some terrific electric guitar on this song that deals with a woman "seeing right through" a man.

"Forgiven": This may be the one controversial track on the album as we hear Alanis questioning her Catholic upbringing on this song. More outstanding trademark vocals by Morissette.

"You Learn": This is the most pop-friendly track as it deals with learning painful lessons in life.

"Head Over Feet": This is probably the "softest" track on the collection. It deals with being smitten in love - a nice contrast to a lot of the anger Morissette shows on the other tracks.

"Mary Jane": This is a narrative that Morissette tells about someone called "Mary Jane". Morissette's vocal range might be the strongest on this track. This proves Morissette's voice doesn't need to be raspy or screeching to work.

"Ironic": Also a pop-friendly song. Morissette sings about the ironies in life. Here we hear Morissette's trademark voice can work in the pop setting.

"Not the Doctor": Might be the strongest track on the collection. The song deals with Alanis' frustrations at being the strong woman in a relationship and not wanting her man to depend on her. Again more trademark vocals and the right mix of acoustic and electric guitars.

"Wake Up": This is probably the second strongest track on the collection. The song has the best overall instrumentation on the album. It is the perfect "wrap up" to the collection as it as "finale"-like qualities. Same message as on most of the other tracks - terrific trademark Morissette vocals.

There is also an alternate version of "You Oughta Know" that has a heavier bass influence, but still sounds very similar to the original. About a minute following that track is a terrific a cappella by Morissette called "Your House". Morissette does very well carrying out an a cappella.

The liner notes include all of the lyrics (except for the bonus "Your House"). This album truly has cemented its place in music history and has probably put Morissette on the road to the Hall of Fame. There is not one weak track on this collection. This is one outstanding musical work - very highly recommended.

I did not have any problems with my order. It was delivered within reasonable time and in excellent condition! This has always been my favorite album. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars One of my best loved albums ever.......2007-02-23

i bought this cd when i was still in highschool. listened to it religously. learned all the words to every single song on the entire album and all that.
but really for a girl growing up, she was inspiring and i love her true to heart lyrics.
its not pop like the spice girls who were also out around that time.
a decade later i find myself listening to it again with all of the same feelings and love for her music and for specifically this album and the way its brilliantly put together.

5 out of 5 stars A Timeless Journey of the Soul.......2006-12-31

Ten years ago, as 1996 was coming to a close, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill had become the best-selling album of the year, spending 10 of the 12 months of 1996 in Billboard's Top 5 with 10 weeks spent at #1(not to mention first going to #1 in October of 1995 as the album started it's massive selling streak in July of that year)and having created what became the quintessential soundtrack to life. I think the primary reason Jagged Little Pill drew such a large appeal was because every human emotion was explored on the album. Sure, Morissette shows her anger in the now-classic anthem, "You Oughta Know," in which she belts a penetrating attack on the man who dumped her for another woman. But the album's second single, "Hand in my Pocket," showed a softer Alanis in tune with a cosmic vibe as she sang, "What it all comes down to my friends, is that everything is just fine, fine, fine." Morissette's openness to be herself became us ten and eleven years ago, and still applies even to this day. Listeners understood both the fears and inspirations and the need to seek peace and comfort in the opening track, "All I Really Want," the acceptance of difficulties in life from "You Learn," the bitterness in "Right Through You," the questioning of religion in "Forgiven," the strive to be impressive in "Perfect," the bliss of falling in love with "Head Over Feet," the logic of consequential outcomes in "Ironic," the freedom from not being the enabler in "Not the Doctor," and so on and so forth. Morissette and producer Glen Ballard gave the world a timeless gem as they made music history. Looking ahead to five years from now, and then ten, fifteen, twenty, Jagged Little Pill will always make first timers feel cathartic again, while inspiring new generations to rebel as they wallow in self-analysis.

To mark the 10-year anniversary of the 30 million-selling Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette decided to release an acoustic version of the very same 13 songs. A little more sung than screamed, Jagged Little Pill Acoustic is certainly less edgy than the original, but then again, so is Alanis herself. Now a 30-something Grammy-winner, she has far less to be angst-y about. The disc opens with one of its highlights, a slightly East Indian-tinged "All I Really Want" which includes a more controlled vocal than the original, backed by Arabic-influenced instrumentation. The new take is most charming, as is "Right Through You" which proves to be another case of improving on the original. Morissette's vocals soar through the chorus, now swooping over a host of (once again) Eastern-influenced strings. The vitriolic "You Oughtta Know"--perhaps the most rockin' track on the original CD--is now more contemplative in it's pace and sensibility, as is "You Learn"'s new mellower melody.

So there are moments of beauty, but also some of the same old, same old. Why, then, does one need this disc? For die-hard fans, the curio factor is reason enough. Marginal Alanis fans, those who found the original too screechy, will get the chance to hear the songs toned-down. Those looking for something different, however, should be aware that this is the entire Jagged disc, start to finish. For a woman who once used lyrics to shock listeners, there's nothing terribly shocking about this new CD. Isn't it ironic? --Denise Sheppard

Album Description

4 out of 5 stars The Lighter side of JLP.......2007-05-03

At first I was surprised she revisited this album. Why? is right! Why fix something that clearly isn't broken. When I look back on the original JLP, it reminds me of my earlier years. It seriously was something I grew up on. The mid 90's were a time when everyone was pissed off, and Alanis just summed it up with her words, and I was right there with her (well behind her. I mean I bought the CD.)

I actually enjoyed this new compilation. It was surprising. It was a new approach towards these songs. Almost a softer, lighter version to them. Which if you are a fan like I am, that statment alone would piss me off! BUT she pulls it off. I think Alanis did this to show that she is in a new place now. And to be frank, I am too since '96. She seems to be more happier in these new verisons, and it feels refreshing to hear. Maybe this new album is a reflection of her personal evolution. To me it was like looking up an old friend, and finding out she was doing a lot better. I know that sounds weird, but whatever. It is worth the time if you are a fan. If you haven't heard the original, do that first, then come back to the acoustic.

5 out of 5 stars Good cd.......2007-02-07

VERY interresting Cd. I might have gotten the wrong one, because my cover looked nothing like that. Non-the-less, it had songs on it that weren't on the Jagged Little Pill cd, but some that were. And Alanis' voice live, in concert, or acoustic, is so different then her cd voice. She changes up the songs a little it's really interresting. I would reccomend this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Worth The Money.......2007-01-05

Some are saying there's no use in buying this album if you already have the studio album. I strongly disagree. This album is worthwhile to have. Not only do the songs sound refreshing after many years of the studio versions, but I think the acoustic is more beautiful and shows Alanis' more mature vocals after all these years.

I know many will hate me for saying this, but I actually prefer the acoustic over the studio album. I just love what she has done with the songs on here, and actually prefer many of the tracks acoustic over the studio ones. Like All I Really Want, Perfect and Mary Jane I much prefer on this album and actually enjoy more than I did on the original. Don't get me wrong, I still have many tracks from the original I love, but to say there is no use in buying this album is insane to me. It's an excellent album any Alanis fan needs.

5/5

4 out of 5 stars A Worthy Commemoration.......2006-12-03

I give Alanis kudos just by virtue that she had decided to record the songs that made her famous in an entirely new light. 1995's Jagged Little Pill became the best-selling album of the 90's, not to the mention one of the best recordings in music history. This sort of updated version of the album naturally sounds a little softer, but this softer side showcases how Alanis' voice has matured since ten years ago. An acoustic side suits Alanis just fine, and enjoying the gentle tones of these songs won't take away your love for the original recordings, even with "Ironic," where Alanis changes a line by singing, "It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful husband," instead of his wife. Other highlights on this release are "Perfect," "Hand in my Pocket," "Right Through You," and the album's two best tracks, "Not the Doctor," and "All I Really Want."

5 out of 5 stars Alanis all grown up..........2006-07-27

Simply one of the best albums EVER...I loved it when I was young adult in my early 20's, still a bit "angry" at my own adolescence, and I love it even more now, if such thing is possible. It's amazing to see just how much this album reflects how our generation has grown. She managed to give these songs a whole new image, but deep inside, it's still the same.

1 out of 5 stars Shows no artistic growth - Jenny One-Note.......2007-04-28

Alanis Morrissette's original "Jagged Little Pill" was one of the biggest-selling debut albums of all time, and paved the way for a generation of self-absorbed and whiney brat rockers (Avril Lavigne comes to mind). "You Oughta' Know" is still one of the greatest exclamations of rage by a scorned woman, but the acoustic version on this album doesn't have the emotional weight of the original. Actually, she should have sung it accapella, as she had done in concert (most famously at the Kennedy Center with President Bill Clinton in the audience). Listening to "Ironic" reminds me that Morrissette misunderstands the meaning of the word. Overall, though, this album is a sad indication that Morrissette has not grown artistically in 10 years, and somehow has to rehash her best-selling debut album to rescuscitate her spiraling career.

4 out of 5 stars nice.......2006-06-22

I simply cannot get over "you oughta know". I heard the non-acustic virsion before this one,(well, duh!) and i fell in love with it.The acoutsic virsion is just as great.Other songs like
"perfect" and "mary jane" where the same way.I really suggest this album, becuse some of these new virsions are a bit more
"glossy" than the origanal.

5 out of 5 stars Alanis is a Musical Picasso.......2006-03-03

This CD is wonderful. Alanis makes music unapologetically and in absolutely her own way, not unlike the status-quo-shattering mavericks of the visual art world. The acoustic renditions of the JLP songs are well done, and the surprise bonus track (Forgive Me Love) appears after a minute of silence following the last song in the graceful manner of an encore to an intimate concert. Its own little opera, that last song never fails to amaze and thrill - I can listen to it over and over again. Want to learn how to appreciate a song, or, better, how to sing one with feeling? Listen to "Forgive Me Love."

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2006-02-27

I used to work at Starbucks, and I've heard this CD enough. It is definitely a must-buy for anyone who enjoyed the original CD. The lyrics and the music is the same, but the pacing and style is very different, adding to the entire effect. She still does the crazy things with her voice which make her so unique, but the CD is honestly her with more grace and polish.

1 out of 5 stars Make it STOP!!!!!.......2006-02-15

Like a bad recurring nightmare, here she comes again, screeching and howling her way through this set of self-obsessed, navel-gazing songs that attack the ears like a blast of pins. Owch! Forced to do some 'remote officing' at a internet hotspot at the local Starbucks this week, I am beaten into a pulp by this grating CD which is on a non-stop loop. The perfect spot for it actually, a crass, corporate slice of muzak - shows that she has no artistic integrity left - but must hop up and down on the same spot she wore out years ago. Tragic.

    5 out of 5 stars This CD Will Convert Borderline Fans.......2005-06-17

    I just heard this album for the first time today(6/16/05). After 10 years since the original Jagged Little Pill's release, listening to this album brings an entirely new flavor to songs which, for a borderline fan of the original "Jagged", could be taken or left alone. For die-hard fans of Alanis' normally abrupt and screamish vocal style, this album may not do the trick. Alternatively, a fair-weather fan who listens to this album could be persuaded to continue to support this awesome vocalist. Omitting the normally faster, harsh tempos and accompanying rough vocal inflections, this album has allowed a much broader range of listener to enjoy Alanis' impeccable writing style. The mood and feel of this y2k release is completely different from the original. Alanis adjusted her vocal style and delivery of the lyrics to be much more soulful than usual. This results in much deeper feeling from her vocals, and it fits very well with the amazing arragngements by The String Quartet.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Renditions for A.M. fans........2005-02-20

    After buying the CD for myself, I have come to the conclusion that whoever composed this wonderful music is a certified and brilliant composer. Songs that tore through the heart with angst, does an exact U-turn for some of A.M.'s best songs. Yet, "You Oughta Know" and "Hand In My Pocket" still carry that same kinda angst with melody.

    1 out of 5 stars this is a waste of money.......2003-12-13

    What is this?? I have disliked Alanis Morissette for years, and this CD makes it worse. Wow, this really is a waste of money. Don't buy it. The first time you hear it, you know it's a waste of money!

    5 out of 5 stars I like this CD almost as much as the original JLP.......2003-01-12

    Seriously. You may think I'm crazy but I adore this CD. It helps me relax at night, and the instrumentals are done well. Sure, a few of them don't quite capture the intended "feel" of the songs, but many of them conjure up vivid images and emotions. I would recommend this CD to someone who is not an Alanis fan if you like instrumental music. Regardless of the "Alanis factor" this is a good CD and it's just a bonus that it's Alanis' music.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2002-10-20

    This is awful! Please turn it off! Get a voice, get a better mood, get musical, Alanis! You should have put this one in the trashcan and released your second album right away, 'cause "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" is as brilliant as "Jagged Little Pill" is unbearable!

    5 out of 5 stars women need more women singers who sing our rage.......1999-05-21

    with the destruction of sinead by the boy radio and music industry, we only have alanis to voice the rage we all feel and to sing that primordial scream that guys get to relate to in all their rock/alternative bands. if you're fed up with constructed, oppressed little girl voices, and boy-coy postering, buy alanis for an empowering experience

    5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Thing On Earth!!!.......1999-05-08

    I love Alanis! She is the best singer in the world and I would die for her! Her first cd. is great and is her second one. I can not wait for the movie "Dogma" to come out, in which she plays God! She is to awesome! Buy both her cd's you will love them!!!

    5 out of 5 stars WHO CAN PLACE A DEROGATORY COMMENT ON THIS ALBUM?.......1999-05-03

    I certainly can't!It is the best album you can find out there, no wonder it sold over 25 million copies worldwide. I say, be part of history and buy this album, you won't regret it. To know a bit more about this great artist, visit my website at http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/disco/4645
