5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for her fans., December 11, 2002

By 

Rob Ez (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Feast on Scraps [Enhanced CD & Live DVD] (Audio CD)

"Feast On Scraps" is a fantastic compiltation of her material on the road 2002.

I shall start by reviewing the CD.

It has 8 incredible songs culled from the "Under Rug Swept" sessions...and some of these make u wonder...WOW!! If this is what didn't suit the album, then I don't know what.. but then again, these songs are rather different from the URS songs. these sound a bit darker and more personalized drama...instead of the universal popular tone of URS..for example.."Unprodigal Daughter" and "Offer", both included on FEAST ON SCRAPS...they are much more personal and egocentric than anything on URS. Both speak of her inner feelings about her own existance..and in the case of "Unprodigal..." , speaks in narrative about her experience and culture clashing of her arrival in L.A. in 1994.

THE DVD.

Incredible, absolutely amazing to have such raw visions of what its like to hang out with Alanis and give you a piece of her mentality. The most satisfying and cutest part of the DVD is the interlude before "So Unsexy" where she is having her hair braided, and speaks with a cochney English accent, speaking of "beware those nu-age books that try to tell you that you're born beautiful! It is incredible. let's all give our thanks to Alanis for thinking of this concept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feast on Scraps Indeed, December 12, 2002

Alanis entitled this CD appropriately. It is, indeed, a feast on scraps. That is, the majority of these songs were released as b-sides on her import singles. For those who purchased those imports solely for the b-tracks, sorry, you may be a bit disappointed. However, in defense, it was no secret that she was going to release this a year after "Under Rug Swept." As for the music, it is perfect. Exactly, where "Under Rug Swept" left off. Songs "Bent for You," "Sorry to Myself," "Simple Together," and "Purgatorying" are my favorites. Everyone seems to really enjoy "Sister Blister." I have to admit, I'm not too fond of that song. It's great and all, but not the highlight of the CD in my opinion. The acoustic version of "Hands Clean" is surprisingly good. Almost better than the original. Food for thought...
Anyway, "Feast on Scraps" isn't just a CD. The enhanced DVD is amazing. I believe you'll enjoy the many live performances. Alanis always gives a great live performance. That's always been one of her strong points.
Altogether, a great buy for Alanis fans.
Even for those who did not particularly enjoy "Under Rug Swept."

3.0 out of 5 stars "Scraps" - It is what it is..., February 19, 2005

"Feast on Scraps" is a 2 disc (one DVD, one CD) set. The enhanced CD contains unreleased tracks, and you can put it in your computer and do something with it, as well. I haven't bothered much with it. The DVD includes concert performances of 20 songs, a studio performance of 1, as well as interviews and backstage footage.
The 'problem' with the DVD is that all of the components are intertwined together throughout the DVD. The tracks are easy to find as they are separated by chapter, and the beginning of the chapter is the beginning of the song. However, when the song ends, fade to black and then the candid footage begins. Unless you manually skip to the next chapter you may have to wait up to 5 minutes before the next song begins. The footage was apparently "scrapped" together from various concerts and, with the exception of six songs, it is relatively seamless. The "poor sound quality" occurs on six of the twenty-one tracks, when the "scrapping" is exaggerated as the camera angles change from audience to stage and sometimes to studio. It was done intentionally, it's not as though they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. I guess it's supposed to be creative or something, but I agree that it's annoying. So yeah, it would have been nice had the footage all been separated into neat little categories and devoid of the creative sound quality, but it's not. That being said, there are still fourteen concert tracks on this DVD that make me wish I had been there. Here are the tracks on the DVD:

Intro 1. Baba 2. Right Through You 3. 21 Things I Want In A Lover-(POOR SOUND) 4. Hand In My Pocket-(POOR SOUND)5. Purgatorying 1 6. Unprodigal Daughter 7. Flinch 8. All I Really Want 9. Precious Illusions-(POOR SOUND)10. Sympathetic Character 11. Purgatorying 2 12. So Unsexy 13. Head Over Feet-(POOR SOUND)14. Purgatorying 3 15. You Oughta Know 16. Hands Clean-(POOR SOUND) 17. Uninvited 18. Ironic-(POOR SOUND)
19. You Learn 20. That Particular Time(this one sounds fine but it's not concert footage)21. Thank U 22.
