The Ultimate Alanis Collection.. but a Little Raw

Review Score: (8/10)
UNPLUGGED has the potential to be absolutely stunning, but, as it was recorded live, it's a little rawer than her studio recordings.

Unplugged is a collection of all of Alanis' greatest hits (as of the late nineties), one cover, and a few tracks only performed live. For some of the songs, the sheer potency of a live album adds to their apeal. Highlights would include Joining You, Ironic, Head Over Feet, That I Would Be Good, You Learn and No Pressure Over Cappuccino. But the angstier songs like You Oughtta Know, These R The Thoughts and I Was Hoping sound wrong. Her heart simply isn't in them as well live as on the studio recordings.

This is an essential for the Alanis fan, but a bad place to start for the Alanis novice.
