Alanis Unplugged
Nevermind that Alanis Morissette's career spans back to her early teens and she has four prior CDs to her credit. It's just too early to go unplugged. Performances like this are better done in the privacy of one's acoustically appointed bathroom. An expressive, emotionally naked singer, Morissette bares a little too much on this outing. Recorded at New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music and produced solely by Morissette, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the carefully wrought songs and slices of her inner life, but there's little to be said about her shrill, thin delivery. Included is the never-before-released "No Pressure Over Cappuccino," which she debuted on her Jagged Little Pill tour, and two songs left off last year's Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie: "Princes Familiar" and "These Are the Thoughts." They were dumped for good reason. The only redeeming moment is her out-of-breath rendering of the coy "Head Over Feet." --Jaan Uhelszki more

- "These R the thoughts that go through my head..."
Alanis Unplugged is a very good audio cd of the live concert. This isn't a perfect cd but quite good. Great renditions of You Learn, Joining You, Head Over Feet, I Was Hoping, and Uninvited. There's a cover of Sting's classic, King of...

- So much more than your "classic unplugged" album
When i first heard Alanis Morissette, it was in 1995 when "You Oughta Know" played on the radio. My first reaction to Morissette and "You Oughta Know" was not positive - it was "what is this, why is this woman so angry, and what is this...

- Alanis at her best.
Beautiful, enchanting, simply magical. I have become and will stay a huge Alanis admirer only thanks to this album. No other album ever came close to this one, the unplugged atmosphere and emotions it induces are overwhelming at times....

- Amazing Alanis!
This is an amazing collection of rarely heard tunes, done in an MTV setting, simple and mostly acoustic. I would strongly recommend this CD for even the most timid Alanis fan, but it has universal appeal.

- Wonderful Alanis - Not So good Production
Alanis is outstanding on this CD. Hearing these songs "unplugged" is an interesting way to listen to them. I really loved the cover she does of "King of Pain". But I wish they would have recorded the talking in between songs. It annoyed...

- I dont think so
This album shouldnt be made by alanis . Alanis is not as mature as Eric Clapton. This album proves this. Her flute performance was totally a tragedy. And all the impression I have is her bare foot.
