Alanis' Jagged Little Pill was one album I listened to a lot when I was around 18/19, it's one of the few albums where I like every single track.

She's just released an acoustic version of the album, it's brilliant, possibly as I've mellowed with age I love acoustic music more and more and these are great versions of very good songs.

Its a shame I feel Alanis never got close to topping JLP and although it may be a complete cash in, I dont care, its a really nice recording. I guess it must be depressing to have made your best album as your first and then watch diminishing returns for 10 years then have to rereleasea new version of your album 10 years on (anyone else going to see Fish on the Return to Childhood Tour ).

Anyone else got it ?

Cheers

i'd rather stick jagged litle knifes in my eyes than listen to that album ever again.

everyone i knew had that record and played it non stop and i never liked it, total fake angst and psuedo intelligent lyrics. i get why people liked it, it was a well recorded album and the sound was good but it just didn't do anything for me. canada has a lot to answer for in the fake angst stakes, first alanis now avril.

I agree it was over-exposed. I wonder if she'll release every track as a single over the next 2 years.

I have to say I didn't mind it too much. I saw her at T in the Park in 1996 and she was OK but when she started inaudibly banging a jag-stang for show, I got annoyed. Maybe Dave should knife my eyes as well. I think she ditched the guy that wrote all the songs after that album. Good move!

im really looking forward to hearing it, it sounds better than the original

I completely do not understand the point of releasing another version of an album you did however many years ago - which appears to sound not all that dissimilar to the original record - other than to cash in on a few greasy pennies to fund your 'non-recording hip artiste' lifestyle as your life slowly ticks by and your forehead mysteriously gets larger every year, whilst your ovaries shrivel. oh.
