Alanis Morrissette-Jagged Little Pill Acoustic

I saw her do an acoustic reprise of her oevre commemorating its 10 year anniversary. Both the concert and the studio (acoustic) release were sensational. The CD-currently being sold until July 26th only in Starbucks (after which it goes on general release)- has completely reinvented and redefined the original. The 1995 hard shell of hatred has turned to corner to something more introspective and tender. The sparse arrangements allow her vocals to soar and be intelligble. The technical production is also vastly superior with true tone, clarity and dynamics-much in the way of the MTV Unplugged genre; although this is not one of those series.

Highest accolades and a very strong recommendation to those who, like myself, admired but did not particulary like the original.
