Apr 18, 2022Uno de los mejores álbumes de la historia. AlanÃs se convirtió en leyenda.
-
Aug 15, 2020Whilst this album does not contain anything groundbreaking, there are a few standouts:
There's the "Ironic" acoustic rendition with updated lyrics supporting marriage equality for gay people.
There's the "You Oughts Know" acoustic version with echos of her haunting performance at the Grammys back then.
And there's "Forgiven" with its new melody and a drastically different atmosphere. -
Apr 4, 2012Jagged Litte Pill was a fantastic album and this stripped down acoustic version just shows how excellent the songs on the original are, a great take on a classic album

JuanPabloCebollònHApr 17, 2006I think that the record is not the best but it shows the other side of alanis's vocal evolution and her voice is wonderful and amazing but some tracks from jagged little pill acoustic are a little boring.

MorphMar 23, 2006If the first pill was so jagged... why in the world would she want to swallow another one... and to top that, why in the world would she try to make us swallow another??? Wretched!

ScottySOct 27, 2005Sigh, when struggling musicians have lost their edge and appeal and delude themselves with an "it sounded like a good idea at the time" project, you get Jagged Little Pill Acoustic. And a rating of 34, the bottom of the barrel. Well I guess she needs to try to pay the rent somehow. Personally I suggest getting a job as a waitress. It would save the rest of us the trouble of writing bad reviews.

SpriggangirlOct 22, 2005What the fuck was Alanis thinking?Is she druged or is she confessing too much?
-
-
PeterPaulOct 19, 2005She sounds like she's whining out her arse. Save it for someone who cares, Alanis. Now get over it! Love hurts, yeah we know. What a bitch love is, yeah we know. Guys are assholes, yeah-sometimes. Women can be worse & Alanis proves it with each and every release.

NathanCOct 17, 2005The world could have gone without this one. A voice and a guitar would have been nice. The lyrics are still great but the arrangements are awful, and I hate the vocals.
-
-
PhilHOct 17, 2005Almost totally devoid of charm or substance. The best thing about this version of Jagged Little Pill is that it makes me want to listen to the original. I think the term is "creatively bankrupt"

KingInkSep 14, 2005Why did I listen to this utter drivel? It intrigues me that people give Alanis any credit for anything at all - ever - given that fantastic artists such as PJ Harvey and Kim Gordon, let alone Marianne Faithful, were doing everything this whinger tries to do but does not even come close to doing. All of her albums are crap and boring, and now she's added a new one to her list.

AleksC.Sep 4, 2005While it is nice to hear "Jagged Little Pill" acousticly, I kinda figured out that Alanis was over it about half a decade ago.

salomeySep 3, 2005i am giving this 3 points because something interesting might have happened after i fell asleep while listening to this album, so i might have missed it 3 points is already more than the number of good points alanis has for recording and even releasing this

ChrisJAug 17, 2005Alanis has gone on to accept and beautifully transcend the words and themes from her original recording. Not only have her vocals matured in a most respectable manner, so has she.

LaunceAug 3, 2005I have to admit I was never a fan of the original version, judging it a bit too whiny and adolescent for my taste. But the remake takes inferior material and makes it completely colorless. I usually like acoustic treatments, but in this case run, run, run as fast as you can.

LSAug 3, 2005This is a great acoustic version of one of the best albums of the 1990's.

For a woman who once used lyrics to shock listeners, there's nothing terribly shocking about this new CD.
-
BlenderDespite scattered flashes of uncharacteristic lightness, she rarely tempers the fury that drove the originals with the more accepting perspective that's guided her subsequent efforts. [Jul 2005, p.119]
-
Entertainment WeeklyThough pretty, the stripped-down treatment... is mostly free of innovation, softening rather than sharpening the originals' enjoyably jagged edges. [17 June 2005, p.79]
