Very good album! rating: 8/10

I know it was one of those cds that shall i buy it or not , then i saw it for £5 so it made my mind up . Songs all kinda the same but good :DWhats the Richard Ashcroft like?

I've only listened to the first couple of songs and sounds like the Verve to me. I'll let you know once I listened to it properly.

last cd I bought was Foo Fighters In Your Honour

Okidoki:D sounds good though

Fury in The Slaughterhouse - Acoustic Grand Cru Classé
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Acoustic

Ha! I just opened this thread to post that I have just bought this one! I'm only a couple of songs into it - but it's looking great!! 8)

You almost can't do anything wrong with an original album like that as the basis for an acoustic rework.

I really don't see what the big deal is with that acoustic album. It's not like she uses heavy electric guitars to begin with. In fact, I find it sad to pull out an incredible album from 10 years ago and re-do it slightly because one doesn't have any good material for new and fresh stuff.

:P

You know - I feel the same way about it. I really loved that album when it came out and I didn't want a "redone" version. I just hadn't thought of it in the way you did - but you're right.

Basement Jaxx the singles , love it especaily bingo bango :D

I have a live show taped off TV where she used electric guitars quite a lot.

It certainly feels different - and IMO Alanis acoustic is Alanis at her best.

Oh, and she seems to imply that the idea for the rehash was suggested to her and she just liked it and did it. I don't think she's short of material, and anyway it's only a year since she had a new album out.

an album that sucked.


Of course she uses 'some' electric guitar. But a plugged and unplugged version of any of her songs just isn't THAT much different. That's all.

Of course the album is still great - Jagged Little Pill is a masterpiece and is one of those albums that will go down in history. I love Alanis - I'd never say she isn't any good or that particular album isn't any good. I just don't see the big deal rehashing a masterpiece. It makes no sense to me. Hmm, and IF you want to compare the acoustic version to the original - it sucks - the anger is gone - the emotions have passed - it does not hold up.

The whole thing confirmed my belief that artists must create from their experiences/hardship/lifestyle/pain and if they do, there might be just a jewel in there along the way. However, one can never simply 'create' art - it must come out of the pit of ones stomach. They can teach you art in school, there are classes on painting/writing/sculpture, but it only teaches the mechanics, never the true art of it. One cannot subscribe to a formula and treat songwriting, painting, writing, etc. as a craft - if one does, you get crap. Crap as a relative term. We've got a lot of that craft type music out there and a lot of once-great songwriters, end up washed out desperately trying to recreate a certain formula. (Alanis does not do that by the way - 3 Doors Down do ;) )

Alanis will never be able to write another album that would be as profound as Jagged Little Pill and any version of the original, will never be as good as the original.

Oh, I loved it! It made me rediscover Alanis and like her music even more.

I understand what you mean but that's the whole TLFR debate all over again. The new songs are not meant to replace the originals at all - more like a tribute to them, to show they still apply. The original ones will be the remembered ones.

Today I've been listening to the album a couple of times and I'm really thrilled about it 8)

what's that? Is that a Johnny Lydon one? I thought there were only two official releases under the name of Sex Pistols, Never Mind .... and one that Johnny Lydon did under the name of the Sex Pistols. Not?

Any good?

Its a collection. Picked it up from second hand store, because I didn't have anything by S.P. as cd. A decent one if u ask me.

What don you think of it? Thinking of getting it as well....

Its ok but i think you will have heard the best songs on the radio already but still worth getting . Although its abit of a crush test dummies CD you know they all sound the same :)

I recently bought Hard-Fi Stars of CCTV and it is now one of my favorite cds this year. My top tunes on the album are move on now and Cash Machine.
The album was recorded for £300 on a second hand computer (respect)

Keith Urban-Be Here Japanese Import for the extra song "You or Somebody Like You"

söhne mannheims "power of the sound" 14 great musicians in full power- unfortunately enormously stupid lyrics from time to time but the way they play and sing compensates everything....

Green Day-American Idiot

i just bought a new copy of Kings of Convinience - Riot on an empty street. My other one was broken so i had to replace it ... oh and i also bought an old Beatsteaks cd ("Launched") b/c it was only 5 euros :D

i plan on getting the jack johnson, madsen and revolverheld albums...

the ian brown cd is really good, be sure to get it :D

I bought Heroes del Silencio's El Espiritu del Vino, in Peru on my holidays. Just ran across it and remembered that I still needed to buy it once, as I had a tape copy 13 years ago that died on me... If your into Spanish language rock, these guys from Spain sure have some good songs on their albums. Check out Culpable, La Herida and La Alacena... Those songs did it for me 13 years ago (might have been 12, 11 or even 10) and still do it for me now... You might have to get used to the guys voice and language, but it's solid.

Cheers!

Coldplay - X & Y
Rooster - Rooster
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
