Product description
Alanis Morissette - Mtv Unplugged - CD
Amazon.co.uk
Cutting the electricity only really began to sound like a good idea when Kurt Cobain picked up his acoustic on Nirvana's Unplugged In New York sessions, and on the whole it tends to bring out the worst in an artist and their audience--muso tendencies, obscure cover versions, and a reverential hush punctuated only by obsequious applause. Alanis Morissette's Unplugged, accordingly, is a mixed bag--there's plenty of dispensable moments, like the warbly dirge of "Joining You", or a singularly pointless "Head Over Feet", almost a carbon copy of the original. The gems, though, include a stripped-down, Tori Amos-esque take on "You Oughta Know", which reverberates with repressed bitterness over the minimal tones of piano and keening violin. Quite wonderful, but if only the sycophantic industry crowd weren't quite so enthusiastic in their praise. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautifully Intimate Album That Feels Like a Live Concert Experience
As a longtime fan of Alanis Morissette, MTV Unplugged is one of the standout albums in my collection. I’ve made it a point to gather all of her albums, and this one holds a special place because it offers a live recording that’s different from her usual studio work. The atmosphere is captivating with audience clapping and cheering, making you feel like you’re right there at one of her shows.
What I love most is how the live setting brings a raw, emotional energy to her music, which resonates deeply with me. Songs like "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic" take on new life in this acoustic format. Plus, there are a few hidden gems here that you won’t find on any of her other albums, making it a must-have for any dedicated fan.
Whenever I listen to it, I feel a sense of connection—not just to her music but to the audience, which makes the experience feel less lonely, almost like I’m part of the performance. If you’re a fan of live recordings, or Alanis in general, this album is an essential addition to your collection. Beautifully performed and deeply intimate, it’s a staple for anyone who appreciates her work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Traffic... jam
Ci sono molti validi motivi per i quali si dovrebbe acquistare questo cd, i più significativi ritengo che siano:
1. il modo in cui Alanis pronuncia il jam di "traffic jam", nella traccia 8 "Ironic", al minuto 2.22;
2. tutta la traccia 11 "You oughta know", una stupenda alternativa alla versione studio originale;
3. la nota che Alanis raggiunge quando, al minuto 1.35 della traccia 12 pronuncia la E di uninvited... fa venire i brividi
