Unvarnished [Best Buy Exclusive] [CD]

This album is exactly what you'd expect from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and the opening track, "Any Weather," is well-placed as the best of the bunch. Crunchy guitar riffs and great hooks abound, and if you can get past the lackluster chorus of "TMI," and the repetitive "Different," the other lyrics aren't half bad. Jett hasn't quite lost her youthful outlook; many of these songs could have been on a Runaways album. Some relate to those currently living through teen angst, and some to old farts like me with perspective and social consciousness. Live cuts of old favorites are an added bonus.

its joan jett back with more good music, deluxe cd 3 newly recorded live tracks classic tracks, 1 new song off cd, songs are about life loss picking up the pieces and more, powerful guitar drum ect ,why not 5 stars too much info.

Joan proves she still has it, no matter how long she's been around. The lyrics are a little more personal but that's a good thing. The bonus tracks show just how good this band still is live.

Stocked up on JJ&BH before a recent triple bill they were playing at. The Best Buy Special Edition had 3-4 live bonus tracks which sealed the deal for this purchase. Definitely happy with my decision to purchase this special edition!

While this new album sounds a lot like other Joan Jett albums, the good news is that it sounds like Joan Jett, and that is not a bad thing.

If your a Joan Jett fan you know what to expect, and she delivers. If your not a fan stick with a greatest hits package.

If your a big fan, you'll like this cd. She & the band sound like their previous & older albums, cds. Few good songs on it that I like.

Timeless music she did it again.it get better every time I listen to it. I hope she keeps putting out new music.she rocks!
