Editorial Review:
The biggest-selling album by a female artist in history, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill is 16 times platinum and Billboard's Top Pop Album of the 90's. Now, celebrating its 10th anniversary, Morissette and producer/co-writer have recorded the entire album in an acoustic version. Jagged Little Pill Acoustic (enhanced with exclusive content) features the songs in their original order and adds previously unreleased video footage from that era. Jagged Little Pill Acoustic is just what the doctor ordered.
Description of Jagged Little Pill Acoustic:
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
Jagged Little Pill Acoustic Reviews:
Alanis, Mentioned You & "You Oughta Know" in New Book - YOU'RE AWESOME! 
2009-10-18 - First, Alanis is incredibly gifted. She sings from the depths of her being, and the whole world can relate.
Her musical style and the passion she pours out from her heart make her one of the top female vocalists
- she's REAL, sings it like it is, in a spectacular, one-of-a-kind way.
Her hit song "You Oughta Know" is still one of my all time favorites.
(Heads up in case you know Alanis, I mentioned her and the above song in a new book coming out Get OVER Him FAST
I mentioned her to inspire other women to take their pain and create something with it. She's a real example of "creative transformation."
She sings her heart out and transforms from that place of deep pain to rise like a Phoenix, which makes her an inspiration to millions. Her essence is what makes her music and style so phenomenal.
I really love this CD and her talent is stellar. AWESOME ALL THE WAY! Keep singing and being YOU!
Terrific!
2009-01-26 - The origiinal was great and this takes it to another level. Her unique voice and lyrics never fail to impress.
INCREDIBLE VOICE, ALANIS SHINES!!!
2008-08-19 - When I first heard her first hit single "you oughta know", I simply fell in love with Alanis Morissette's voice, and I knew I had to go straight to the mall and buy her cd Jagged Little Pill...
Well the rest is history! It was the best cd of the 1990's, and the songs still hoard most radio stations daily.
When I saw this cd out at Walmart, I was very, very excited, and couldn't wait to buy & hear it. It was nothing short of AMAZING! Alanis has a voice like no other!!! She sings perfectly, and every song is full of incredible sound, smoothness & heart on this cd!
I am lucky enough to have a superb stereo/surround set up, so I am able to listen to this cd with crystal clear sound, and distinct effects(Klipsch speakers)! but even with a regular/decent stereo, this cd would sound great!
Alanis is one of the greatest female singers of our time, and she will continue to impress with her Stellar voice, but this cd is one of her very best!
I will happily listen to it over & over for years to come!
Thanks for reading my review!
whiny complaining drek 
2008-06-14 - I never bought the hype about this performer. Introspective? That means it is all about me. Intense means she's a jerk.
These songs are hateful and meanspirited. A mediocre talent at best.
Susan Werner clobbers A. M. professionally and personally.
I dont like her jagged little tearful crying-jag cd. Keep her far from me.
Earache and headache music.

2008-05-27 - Why does she keep holding on to this album? Is it because it was her only bestseller?
