Let's get one thing out of the way: this album is DATED. The mixing, the songwriting, the instrumentation ... everything about this album firmly plants it in a specific time frame. Usually, that's a bad thing when the time frame is mid-90s. Somehow (and I'm not sure how, honestly), "Jagged Little Pill" manages to be both a perfect example of an album from '95 AND a great album. There are things that I don't like ... but not enough for me to give it anything less than 5 stars. There are too many great tracks. It demands a 5-star review.

Men on this list when they're broken up with: "The clouds in my heart shed cumulus tears / the pain won't mend for a matter of years"
Women on this list when they're broken up with: "Does your new bitch even let you bust in her mouth?"
Fuckin' A, Alanis. It's definitely one of the more dated sounding records the generator's handed out so far, but that didn't stop me from digging Neneh Cherry, and it doesn't stop me here. Nix some of the softer filler tracks and you have a real banger on your hands.
Key tracks: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Right Through You

It's a noteworthy accomplishment for Alanis to represent such emotional and dark themes through an up-beat, mainstream pop driven instrumentation. The album is a collective statement and fierce representation of her artistry within the rock genre. There is no doubt that Alanis is one of the most unique and distinctive singer-songwriters in modern music history, which this album solidified.

Gen X's "Blue", which means that "Exile In Guyville" is Gen X's "Tapestry". I had those albums reversed at first until I remembered that, like Joni Mitchell, Alanis is from Canada. Besides, I prefer Guyville-Tapestry over Jagged-Blue, and I'm an actual Gen Xer, so I'm allowed to make my own silly rules. Your mileage may vary, but apparently Liz Phair and Alanis have become good friends. I guess it depends on whether you prefer blow jobs in a theater or getting fucked until your dick turns blue. They both sound like fun to me. A song as great as You Oughta Know deserves to be about someone other than Dave Coulier. I prefer the deep cuts over the hits here, and that's surely because everything released as a single after You Oughta Know was overplayed to the point of exhaustion. Alanis may not appreciate that. She doesn't seem to fully understand irony. But we shouldn't begrudge Alanis Morissette for that. She made a kick-ass album.

Alanis Morissette gives the post-break-up singer-songwriter confessional album a new and decisively 90's overhaul in a post-grunge, post-riot grrrl world.
It's bitter, jaded and cynical pop-rock, meaning that her best lyrics are the most conversational and cutting, the lines which drip with sarcasm. The first moment of genius comes in the second verse of "All I Really Want", when she asks "why are you so petrified of silence- can you handle this?"
And then everything cuts to a few seconds of dead silence... before the voice comes back in-
"Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines, or when you think you're gonna die, or did you long for the next distraction?"
It's glorious. She sells her anger perfectly and convincingly throughout: "You Oughta Know", "You Learn" and of course "Ironic" glow with a perfect combination of visceral rage, lyrical insight and radio-friendly rock.
On the other side of the spectrum are the more optimistic, plaintive "Hand in My Pocket" and "Head Over Feet", sticking out like sore and lovesick thumbs. They might be lyrically trite in comparison, but they still shine with their sweeter, more pop-friendly melodies.
My problem lies with the songs that don't quite seem to hit either side well, either sitting awkwardly in the middle or just becoming unpleasant on the ears. "Forgiven" shoots for a "You Oughta Know" style catharsis, but just feels grating and repetitive when the previous tracks have already got there, and "Not the Doctor" suffers coming off the back of "Ironic", dipping the pace to a lolloping growl.
"Wake Up" is a weak ending as Morissette mumbles and shrieks her way through, in search of both a strong hook and a definitive sign-off. I didn't really feel either arrived.
I find Morissette's vocals very overbearing at times, but Glen Ballard's production is also part of the problem: his de-facto method for going "angry" or "confessional" is by upping the distorted guitars and bringing more searing, wailing vocals up front. Even though Morissette's lyrics and subject matter allows for it, there's not a lot of dynamic range in the sound, or different means of expression. It frustrates me that we don't get more dialled back material on the level of "Perfect" or "Mary Jane", both showcasing Morissette's versatility as a songwriter and a vocalist. I'm intrigued to hear there's an acoustic version of the album recorded ten years later- and will definitely check this out to see if the songs are served any better.
Despite all this, I'm feeling generous and can't argue against the strength of a lot of the songwriting. Bearing in mind a lot of the records I have given 3* and like a lot less, it's scraping 4* here. Definitely worth a listen for any songwriters getting in touch with their angry side!

Alanis Morisette looks like John Travolta. This album really does nothing for me. It occupies the mid-90’s cultural slough whose festering miasma spread well into the 2000’s. It is an anthem for being too hot in pyjama pants on a summer day at 12:45 pm and wanting to kill yourself; that feeling of having completely wasted your day and that, consequently, you’ll do the same for your entire life. It makes me feel like my head is under a heat lamp, like I’ve been sitting on a hot sidewalk all day. The vibe is just not good at all.
The lyrics and vocal technique feel like an Adam Sandler number. It’s very cheesy, the kind of thing women like Tony Soprano’s sister listen to. It’s what your very sweaty, overweight, bead obsessed aunt and her boyfriend listen to in their 1995 Honda accord with no air conditioning while they smoke with the windows up and sway their heads back and forth like they’re waving candles at some boomer concert, then consistently, loudly, and obnoxiously shushing whenever you ask them to turn it down or crack a window.
It’s fine, just not really my thing.

So 90's that it borders on distracting. There are a ton of iconic jams on this album. Alanis' trademark strained vocals fit right into the alt rock / grunge that the 90s were seeing. This is one of those albums that made it out of that decade not looking completely ridiculous in the process. Enough here that anyone could enjoy.

Another day, another dose of nostalgia from the 1001 Albums Generator. These early-mid 90’s records really end up putting me in an odd headspace sometimes. This isn’t a record I ever listened to intentionally, but I know a lot of it…how could I not? I was a teenager in 1995, consuming as much MTV as I possible could and I knew plenty of people who were Alanis Morrisette fans.
So when a record like this gets assigned, it’s inevitable that I end up thinking about those people, the fun times…about the 90’s.
…and you know what, it’s comforting. It feels good, most of the time.
Occasionally, that comfort becomes uncomfortable: you think about something stupid you said to someone or how you haven’t really kept in touch with some of the people you are thinking about and you’re not really sure why that happened other than it’s just what happens as you get older.
An odd feeling, without a doubt and I’m not sure I’m conveying it well through these written words. Funny how that happens, you have this feeling going on and, try as you might, you can’t really convey it properly. I don’t know…it’s…I guess if I had to really pinpoint it, narrow it down for a stranger, I would probably tell them…
IT’S LIKE RAAAAAAAAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
IT’S A FREE RIDE WHEN YOU’VE ALREADY PAID
IT’S THE GOOD ADVICE THAT YOU JUST DIDNT TAKE
AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

This is the most 90s album i've ever heard just from the opening guitar riffs. I like her voice when she's not doing weird things with it. I think that was kind of her trademark but I don't really like the cracking that she does and a lot of country singers do.
She's working through a LOT in this album. jagged little pill walked so that Sour and Guts could run.

May the protagonists in her songs look back on this as fondly as I do now.
Sneered at it back then, now see it for what it is: a strong set of wailers with all the contemporary alt-rock bells and whistles, powered by a voice that seems to embody domestic discord, which is not a criticism.

My relationship with this record is one of grudging acquiescence. I tried to avoid it, but in 1996 this proved an impossible task so I learned to appreciate some of the quirky wit therein:
"Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how-[e-yow-e-yow-yow] appropriate"
"You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while"
etc
You know what it sounds like - basic, screechy, dated and cheesy, but utterly era-defining (if you ever turned on the radio or left the house).
Characteristically, and unfashionably, I think she actually got better on later albums, and will recommend "Under Rug Swept" (despite its perfect Spinal Tap-esque review in a UK rag: "Very Good Not")
Would a 3 be ironic?

No private session used for Spotify. I remember when this album came out, there was a vast sea of angry white men rock, angry white women rock was a welcome change and this album was embraced with constant airplay. Now, I will admit I have spent too many hours discussing the song "Ironic" and how none of the stories in the song were ironic at all, but it's still a nice song.

This is almost post grunge. The vibes on this album are absolutely immaculate, and the perfect lens to view this period in time through. Almost every song on this record is instantly recognizable as Alanis Morissette. There’s also no bad tracks on this album either, in my humble opinion.
I’m a huge fan of her voice, and the distinct vocalizations present were definitely both novel for the time and trend-setting going forward.
Nothing but good things to say here, 5*

I just love the bitter rage of You Oughta Know and coupled with All I Really Want, it’s one of the best opening to an album, ever.
It did ride a little closer to a 4 than I was expecting though. At nearly an hour long, it lost a bit of power in the middle and the irony of completely missing the meaning of irony in Ironic is no longer funny to me, it just seems straight up stupid - like, do 10mins worth of research before releasing that?
But it’s an absolute banger and still an easy 5.

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
This album is the epitome of being heartbroken. I heard about this album before but never really took the chance to listen through it until now, it caught me off guard, because it really has that "don't judge a book by it's cover" vibe.
I expected it to sound like an average"pop" album from the 90's, but in the end, I underestimated how catchy and good it sounds, especially with the riffs and melodies that it has to offer. Almost every song here is a highlight, that's how good it is. Words can't even describe how amazing this album is, specially to those who went through what the album is talking about.
1.- All I Really Want = 9/10
2.- You Oughta Know = 10/10
3.- Perfect = 8/10
4.- Hand In My Pocket = 9/10
5.- Right Through You = 10/10
6.- Forgiven = 10/10
7.- You Learn = 9/10
8.- Head Over Feet = 10/10
9.- Mary Jane = 8/10
10.- Ironic = 10/10
11.- Not The Doctor = 8/10
12.- Wake Up = 9/10
FINAL SCORE = 9.1/10

I didn’t really care for this so much when it came out initially. Maybe because it was just overplayed on every radio station you can ever think of.

I definitely hated on this as a kid (I mean, I still chuckle a little at that Canadian pronunciation of “it figures”), but listening to this in full, probably for the first time, I realize that Alanis create a true masterwork with this album. It’s crazy how many hits this had, her sound was in the right place at the right time, but it’s also aged well (maybe not the drum machines). You Oughta Know is a badass break-up song. Perfect is a beautiful sweeping ballad. You Learn, Head Over Feet, and Hand in My Pocket are all great 90s singles, and of course the smash Ironic. The non-singles are all pretty good quality too. I convinced myself this is a classic, it figures.

Aw hell yeah! This was the first tape cassette I ever asked for and received as a kid. I was 9 when this album was released, but I think I got it a year later, in 1996. In retrospect, 10 is pretty young for this type of content, but my parents were always cool about that sort of thing. As long as it wasn't costing my parents time or much money, they DGAF what we did, watched, or listened to.
However, I admit I had NO IDEA what this album was really about at that age. When Alanis bemoans "the mess you left when you went away," 10 year old me always envisioned someone leaving her apartment messy and she had to tidy up after them. How rude! And yes, I was absolutely scandalized when I found out it was Uncle Joey she was cursing.
Anyway, this album is full of bangers from start to finish. Obviously I'm biased since this was a seminal album for me, despite my youthful innocence about the content matter.

Every god damn song on this is incredible. I can't believe how many singles there are! And the non-singles are just as good. I mean I am almost in tears listening to Forgiven, and just remembering scream singing along to it as a 10 year old (catholic) girl.

I have always been a little sad that Alanis's career didn't unfold better. This is such a good and strong album. It is pop, but it also has a lot of depth to it, and Alanis unflinchingly faces demons that so many women face at the hands of abusers. Despite all of that, she has a hopeful tone that finds it way out in song. Brave Alanis. Great album.

I was only 8 when this came out but still somehow managed to absorb so many of the songs, given how huge this album was, all the radio airtime for the singles etc.
It's easy to see why it was huge though, her writing really taps into the angst of being a jilted lover. It's a common trope in music but I can't think of many albums that capture this better. The vocals deliver the big hooks with an emotional punch, you believe what she is singing

So unabashedly 90s; this is what I imagine that era to sound like whenever I think of it. You just can't get tired of this album.

What can I say? I love this album...the drama, the heartbreak, the Joy that comes out of it. I love listening to it

I knew a lot more of these songs than I would have guessed. There's a cohesiveness that made them blend together a touch but generally just works. Morissette's voice is so strong and distinct and it's used in a bunch of ways. She utilizes lyrical rhythm really well (typically throughout the verses). Production, mixing, etc. is also really strong. There's flashes of the Jeff Buckley album on a handful of songs. It's fun to see the content flash between immaturity and deeper thoughts. It captures that early 20s timeframe really well.

Hvað get ég sagt? Alanis bjargaði mér með þessari plötu. Fyrsta sprungan í grímuna mætti þegar ég stúderaði plötuna og textana í fyrsta sinn. Gæti spilað hana í hausnum á mér nótu fyrir nótu frá upphafi til enda án þess að fara sekúndubrot út af taktinum eða tónhæðinni. Elska Alanis.
