Details: Product DescriptionAlanis MorissetteAmazon.caTo mark the 10-year anniversary of the 30 million-sellingJagged 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
