Jagged Little Pill

Blast from the past. Didn't like her ballads very much, but the upbeat songs were all strong. Unique voice and a very memorable style.

Eat your heart out, Dave Coulier! Fav Tracks: "All I Really Want" "You Learn"

Excellent album at the time of release, does sound a little dated now, but still good quality.

Alanis Morissette rocks, that was awesome 7.5/10

Classic 90's stuff. Was a MASSIVE hit when I was a teen. Still holds its own. Bonus points for having RHCP members as the backing band.

This was my first time listening to Alanis Morissette and I enjoyed a lot! Of course the album is super dated, it has the full essence of the 90s. But thats not a bad thing. Super fun to listen to! Favorite tracks: * Ironic * Hand In My Pocket * You Oughta Know

The hits are hits, but the slow songs turn me off too much. If it was an album all of "You Outta Know, it would be my jam"

Classic 90s grungy pop. Some all time greats and solid filler. Love “You Oughts Know” and “Hand in my Pocket”

It's good, I enjoyed it. I found the first few tracks to be not that great (the first song was my least favorite one - not great for my prejudicial brain) but it generally got better as the album progressed. Great songs like "Hand in my Pocket", "Head Over Feet", "Wake Up" and of course "Ironic".

Men, huh?

Someone gave me this CD as a gift back in 199Whatever and I was sooooo disappointed by the mere suggestion that anyone thought this was something I might actually enjoy. Did they not notice my Helmet t-shirt? What else is a kid supposed to do to advertise that they ain't down with some pop-alt girl rock shit, ya know? And then I finally listened to it and... I didn't hate it. I think my big hurdle was just not really being sold on the whole angry image that "You Oughta Know" carried with it when that song was shot out of a canon and suddenly absolutely everywhere. Plus, I'm on the record as hating harmonicas in general, so that was a strike against her. But the more you listen here the more the likability of Alanis comes across and the catchiness of some of these songs either works or it doesn't. It mostly works for me. What I'm saying is that it kind of won me over, in spite of me. And THAT's ironic, Craig.

I'd forgotten how many singles there were on this album. Can anyone name a song by Alanis that's not on this album?

Really enjoyed listening

love it!!!

One of the first albums i ever bought. Probably havent listened to in well over a decade. Never realized how Canadian it sounds.

it's good.

Dated as hell but still a lot of fun.

♥️♥️

Great '90s sound. A lot of reviews are calling this "dated" and that may be, but in another sense it was ahead of its time. Maybe "timeless" is a better word?

I probably hadn't explicitly listened to this album in 20+ years but still know virtually every part of it. This album was *everywhere* in the mid-late 90s. Sometimes I can't really tell if I *like* it or not - there are (many) times where Alanis' voice is tough to take, and especially on the opening track "All I Really Want" but at the same time it's catchy as hell... ...which might be a review of every single song on the album - almost to a track, they're each catchy in their own unique way. It's an impressive record in terms of variety - from the alt-rock of "You Oughta Know" to the top-down easy-going sound of "Hand In My Pocket" and the by-now overplayed and over-memed "Ironic" it doesn't really get boring. It sounds really good too - I enjoy the creative double/multi-tracking of her vocals in spots which really punches through the mix. Not that it really matters but she was 21 when she wrote these songs (with Glen Ballard) which is amazing. Her vocal imperfections while occasionally distracting are actually interesting to me (still in the era of not correcting every single note) in that you're hearing her emotion [also apparently most of the songs' vocals were done in one or two takes]. You can almost call this a/the quintessential 90s album - put this on and you're instantly back in time. It's definitely an important album and worth hearing for sure...couldn't figure whether 3 or 4 but i'll give it the nostalgic bump. 7/10 4 stars.

1/31/2021 Today's Album: "Jagged Little Pill" by Alanis Morissette - This album is starting off very well with the track, "All I Really Want," which has a really cool harmonica and distorted guitar, which is kinda my bread and butter. Not huge on her vocals but they sort of have their own charm at the same time. Reminds me a lot of Avril Levine. You Oughta Know is a pretty fun song with a crazy chorus and an incredible bass grove throughout. The placement of the guitar in the mix on this one is also really pleasant. There's some nice psychedelic guitar chords too and I can actually see why this song is insanely popular even if it is kinda dated. It's really catchy and her vocal performance is actually really impressive, even if it is strangely accented. She feels like both squeaky-clean teen pop artists like Avril and marketed mom rock artists like Adelle but it's actually very well done. Perfect was more laid back but still really well done. Hand in My Pocket I had heard before and it is an absolute banger and a classic. Right through you is a little more basic for her, but it keeps the flow of the album going in a really great way. Forgiven is a darker track, which is okay but it follows another pretty basic track so it just doesn't hit in a very impactful way for me. Still, she goes absolutely crazy vocally in this track and sounds almost like evanescence. You Learn is a nice uplifting track about how you learn from every experience you have good or bad and I think its really well done. Head Over Feet is a pretty nice love song and I think it sounds pretty nice. Mary Jane is also a nice uplifting song that might also be about weed but who knows...Ironic is obviously a gigantic hit and honestly has aged well in my opinion. Not the doctor is a break up song and goes well as a closer to the last 2 songs. It's bitter and clever and overall solid. Wake Up is a nice closer, but the ending really shines with the extra reprise of You Oughta Know with the extra amazing vocal performance in Jimmy the Saint Blend. I think its a really interesting and powerful way to end things off. Overall, this album is a classic screenshot of the late 90s and early 2000s and I enjoy it still a lot Score: 8.5/10 Pretty good :) Highlights: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, You Learn, Head Over Feet, Ironic, You Oughta Know - Jimmy the Saint Blend

A classic breakup album. Ironically, probably my least favourite track is the most well-known one. Some really good driving basslines underpinning solid 90s rock

Not my kind of music but it's pretty good

It's aged poorly and other artists did this but better. That being said, Morissette can write a half decent pop song

Best Song: All I Really Want. It feels like lurking behind every lyric and note is a barely unspoken "Fuck You." Worst Song: Hand in my Pocket. I like the lyrical theme of "I'm one thing but I'm also juxtaposed opposite thing", but the conceit of "I've got one hand in my pocket and the other..." is so silly it takes me out of the song every time. ESPECIALLY when the other hand is playing the piano. Overall: A really good album that feels raw and adventurous, but occasionally gets in its own way with lyrics that try too hard to be clever and just come off as goofy. I won't beat the dead horse of the song "Ironic", but it hinders an album that otherwise runs with such an intensity it feels like it might come off the tracks at any moment. Also, this was my first time hearing the a cappella outro to "You Oughta Know" as the final track of the album, and it really demonstrates how incredible a voice Alanis Morissette has.

solid sound, I had listened to a lot in the past, but seems overblown listening to it now.

Alanis nous offre une proposition musicale beaucoup plus hétérosexuelle que son frère Morrissey, présentant également beaucoup moins de racisme. Seul point commun, une pochette minable. On a beau chercher à refouler son éducation, les gênes finissent toujours par nous influencer.

When first released, I was too much into Britpop and indie bands to appreciate this album and judged this album as too poppy. Over time, however, I’ve grown much fonder of JLP and turn to it every once in a while for that 90s crystal clear nineties production nostalgic pop guitar radio sound, released at a time when selling aggressively marketed records actually made labels money. Alanis is a hoot, chucking everything into the vocals and sticking it to ex lovers. I’m also reasonably confident now that the lack of irony in Ironic was a deliberate ironic joke. And I was today years old even I learned Flea plays the incredible bass part on You Oughta Know rendering this album the perfect expression of how the nineties sounded.

Guilty pleasure

Angsty pop/rock, good stuff

Hell yeah Alanis

Some nice tunes I had forgotten about on this album - genrally just not the biggest Alanis Morissette Fan but that blast from the past was nice

This classic album from Alanis Morissette features a heavy backdrop of anger and angst which is channeled into post-grunge. This album is powerful and demands to be heard. Though I don't think this album is as successful as some of its contemporaries, it is extremely important in the history of popular music and is incredibly influential.

Glad to have kept listening through the radio tracks.

Pop-Rock with some classics. Solid but not great.

Bien arreglado, la voz de A.M. se siente muy natural y cruda, y el aire grunge en general le quda muy bien.

She tells such a vivid story! Certainly one of the best from the timeframe.

Lyrics are awkward at some points but very solid music.

ITS LIKE RAIIINNNN ITS A FREEE RIDEEE ITS THE GOOD ADVIICEEE. Alanis Morissette. She is fun. Some notes are unexpected. I like it. One second its sleepy next its crayzay. one hand in my pocket. ironic. you oughta know. wasn't able to listen to entirety of album. 5/10

This is a tough one with no half star options. Easily a solid 3.5 rating so almost went with 4, and maybe back in the day I might have but with age and how many other killer albums I foresee rating as a 4, couldn't bring myself to give a 4 (still almost did based on a few songs). Used to listen to this album a lot when it first came out, enthralled by Alanis's unique voice, anger and aggression. And then there was the crush I used to have on her odd, lanky beauty😊. Close to a pop album but some hard, fun and insightful lyrics (will she go down on you in a theater, I'm brave but I'm chicken shit, you like pain but only if it doesn’t hurt too much) coupled with some good instrumental mixes (harmonica on All I Really Want, hard beat on Right Through You, guitar riff on Not the Doctor [along with style and lyrics vaguely reminds me think of Ani Difranco, save the chorus]), I can get pass the poppiness of Ironic (I preferred the other hit of Hand in my Pocket) and the ballad of Perfect, which I used to skip over. While I always appreciated the passion and emotion of Mary Jane, seemed to hit a little more close to home being on the downhill side of the roller coaster…The last chance street car went off the track and you're on it...What's the point of trying to dream anymore...Are you happy…

This was a 5 in 1995!

*Classic 90's Alternative album *Unique vocal style *Super iconic

So many classics. Amazing how many iconic singles are packed into a single album. You Learn is likely my favorite. 4/5

actually can't say I've listened to any part of the album other than the hits. I'm shocked how much I like the balance of the album. deserves it's credit.

031121 19:31 3.5

“As slick as the music is, the lyrics are unvarnished and Morissette unflinchingly explores emotions so common, most people would be ashamed to articulate them."

Jagged Little Pill is a great indie rock album. At the time I was really impressed by its quality. Listening to it now the songs remain great only the lose vocals of Alanis annoy me from time to time. Some of the slower songs have vocals that are too often off-key in a not a nice way. That's too bad as she is a great singer.

Pure distilled early 90s

I feel like Thursdays are turning into the emotionally devastated days, this is a superb album

The girl version of Alan Morris

Great album. I listened to this a lot when it first came out. 4 stars.

Everyone knows this album, and has a favorite song off of it. Radio airplay was much better than I thought, and there are so many slappers packed in to this one album. Good job Alanis

Actually genuinely good. Never heard any of the not hits on this and I like them.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: You oughta know, Forgiven, Ironic

I’m not too sure why I hadn’t heard this whole album before. It’s probably because I’ve heard about half the songs a million times over 25 years so I figured I’d heard the best of it. All the songs on here are jams though.

Mid 90's production abound but you can't fault the strength of these songs or the influence this album had on other female singer songwriters mining that angst. Best Tracks: All I Really Want; You Oughta Know; Ironic

Always loved this album

monkas

An excellent listen ! 4*

I grew up loving her voice and this album!

Took me back in time and I forgot just how many catchy hooks were on there. Also some irritating vocalization, but definitely a good bit of nostalgia and good to hear a strong female voice!

Isn't it Iconic?

Oke een album met gewoon keiveel wijvenschijven, dat kan niet anders dan goed zijn.

Raw and powerful vocals overlaying catchy alt rock melodies. Production value is among one of the best of the era. Morissette would play a pivotal role in female representation in pop music to come, inspiring dozens of female musicians such as Katy Perry, Pink, and Shakira. I absolutely love the raw emotion and mood shifts that Morissette uses to reach the audience beyond the lyrics. Favorite tracks are You Oughtta Know, Hand in My Pocket, and Forgiven.

A guilty pleasure. A brazen voice of 1990s.

the album as a whole is pretty good pop music but "You Oughta Know" carries it hard

It's so fucking emotional and rich. Man, I fucking love her on the low. You oughta know man, She is just talking that fucking shit and I love it. Add in hands in my pocket and Ironic. Super solid album. Just emotions on full display with no covering it. AAAAHHHH fucking love it.

One from my teens. Enjoyed listening to it again after 25 years. Some weak songs but the good ones are still good

Played it to bits when it came out … But don’t really go back to it … 🤔 Some great songs and not even 20 from the heart lyrics and very immediate vocal performances … takes me back to a time and place in the soundtrack of my life

I really wanted to hate this album and tell Alanis to get over herself, you’ve been dumped. It happens. Coupled with the incessant, whiny vocal style I was pre disposed to hating it. BUT... There are some good rock anthems here and she has a good set of pipes on her. Coupled with a good quantity of radio tracks, this album turned out to be really rather excellent.

Reminds me of the cranberries discography. Some hits, a pretty easy listen.

This is such a great album. What more can be said, this is one of those albums that stands the test of time.

Wow the first CD I bought as a 10 year old. Happy to report my musical tastes have evolved significantly in the past 25 years, but this album still left a mark. I'll always remember trying to understand the lyrics and not knowing what to make of (that hasn't changed). On this listen, I was still impressed by Flea's bass on You Oughta Know and all those jangly guitar effects and 90s production tricks. Not all has aged well, but still something I'll come back to in 25 more years.

Loved Ironic, You Oughta Know, Forgiven, All I Really Want rest of album was still decent but other songs don't stand out as much.

Her best album and still one I can listen to every week and not get bored of.

Great to finally hear the whole album. The singles still hold up, I wasn’t as into all of the songs but it is still an iconic album

My sisters listened to this album on repeat for about 2 years during my teens. At the time I hated it, probably because of the amount I’d heard it at home but also on the radio. The fact that my sisters liked it probably added to it. As I’ve aged, I’ve mellowed to it and it’s now just nostalgia from my youth and I can appreciate the album more. Lots of catchy tunes, lots of angst lyrics

A total classic, an enjoyable angsty album! Never listened to the whole thing through before.

I've heard a few Alanis Morissette songs in my life, and they're all on this album. It had like five hit singles apparently? That's kind of insane.

Had heard some of the songs previously but ended up really enjoying the whole album. Love the angst and capture of the mid-90s

Classic, good to hear again.

Damn, for some reason I wanted to not like this album. In spite of that I really enjoyed the hell of it. It really rocks in so many ways.

Solid Record

Many songs recognizable from 90’s radio. Aged fairly well, background rock. 8.5/10

you oughta know and you learn are standouts

loved "you oughta know" (Ofc), "hand in my pocket" OMFGGG this is such a good female empowerment album

All I Really Want - Very good You Oughta Know - Amazing Perfect - excellent Hand In My Pocket - good Right Through You - very good Forgiven - amazing You Learn - very good Head Over Feet - excellent Mary Jane - excellent Ironic - amazing Not the Doctor - very good Wake Up - very good 9/10

I never liked female voices, and my 90s were all about grunge stuff mostly. However, I loved this album, hugely! It's fantastic. It's so out of my usual likes it always surprises anyone I confess to. You Oughta Know is one of the all time greatest pop songs, without question. I still love the album now, I haven't heard it in a while, this was a welcome reunion.

i actually liked the album, it's nice but not as much as i thought it'd be, but it's something more personal, it's not a bad album. This one's pretty good, such a nice production, good letters and that's it good, but not that much. My favorite ones are Forgiven and You Oughta Know. Nice album, liked it.

pretty good i would give it a 4.5

Such a fantastic album. Proof that anger makes excellent rock.

This album is a classic. Alanis manages to pack all of her greatest hits into one project, and even the most icons ones for the wrong reasons. A great blend of pop and alternative, with simple song themes of love and heartbreak. Favorite Song: You Oughta Know

Io c’ero quand’è uscito

I liked this one quite a lot. I enjoyed the singing, the variety between songs and also the background music which usually sounded pretty simple superficially but still seemed to offer a lot of depth and variety between songs. Good album!

kevin malone covers you oughta know

Saved Prior: You Oughta Know, Head Over Feet Off Rip: All I Really Want, You Learn, Wake Up Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Great breakup album that has found me when I was not going through a breakup. I LOVE You Oughta Know regardless though the emotion is so crystallized. Don't normally like this kind of alt-rock but this was very good. 3.5 rounded up because there were no out and out clunkers.

Been a while. Class 👌

Stands up to the test of time for me. Very good songwriting.

better than i expected

Surprisingly OK

good, but mostly for the singles

Great album, definitely a classic from the 90s. Not a bad song on the album.

One of my mom's favorites, grew up listening to this album

Man I forgot just what a giant this album is, so many hits. Her voice and style opened the doors for so many.

Fav: You Oughta Know, Forgiven, Head Over Feet

That was my first time listening to the entire album. I believe this was enough to finally erase Alanis’ pop songs from memory.

It's ironic how good this album is

Listening back I am starting to see how it was turned into a musical, and I’d actually like to see it. Had some great flashbacks to when I was a kid in the 90’s and played this album a lot. Great portrait of the angsty 90’s pop rock and her voice comes through well on songs like “perfect”

Wow. Punched me right into the 90s. Fantastic album

I dig this. Her voice might not be for everyone but I think it does the 90s, young woman angst pretty well. Also more than half of this record is singles that were incredibly successful. The main focus is her lyrics but the playing on this record is nothing to slouch over either (Flea makes an appearance). Overall, solid 90s album. Favorite song: You Oughta Know Least favorite song: Not the Doctor

you know what? i really fuck with it. it's ironic how straightforward alanis is given her most famous song is called "ironic". ok i'm done. fav track: hand in my pocket

Iconic songs like Ironic. Raw, uplifting songs

Ganske krutt faktisk haha

I listened to this one as a kid, lots of memories here, but it has never been a breakup album for me.

I've listened to this album many times over the years, but it was fun to listen to the whole thing as an album. It holds up really well for the most part and brought back memories of first hearing it playing in my college bookstore!

I've listened to a bunch of songs off of this album over the last year, but I haven't listened to the whole thing in nearly 25 years. The first half of this album is full of great songs. Her voice is powerful, and despite the fact that it hits some sour notes from time to time, it kind of fits with the passion of the album 4/5

Great, fun album. My rating is however biased because I was already familiar with her music.

Great overarching feel of the album. A very interesting and unique singing voice and great songwriting. Timid and powerful, emotional and expressive.

I really like Alsnis Morissette and this is definitely one of her greatest albums. Although she sings off key sometimes I still really love her energy and her lyrics.

Hell yeah, this is a bop. Got all the hot tracks. Hot one after hot one, get at me.

not really my thing but kind of an insane album regardless

This was full of attitude and I loved hearing some familiar songs. Excellent!!!!

i loved the album especially the lyrics i cried with mary jane, the production feels so fresh and balanced i think my favourite songs at first listen are mary jane, you learn and hand in my pocket

Cracked me up that my first album was one I was already intimately familiar with

Main vocals are nasal and strident and demanding of attention. Many statements are imperatives, even the questions. Guitar sounds like a second voice with lots of power chords and progression. Unlike modern pop, complex melodic ideas that breathe on their own instead of simple ideas with complex harmonic interweaving. Rhythm slots around melody and harmony.

Honestly wonderful :D

Would she go down on you in a theater?

Blimey this album was absolutely everywhere. I always thought it was ok, and I stand by that

This is a truly 3 album for me. It defined the sound of a moment in time. Undeniably. I can’t say I was excited about it at the time. It felt like a celebration of alternating screechy and precious girlieness to which I didn’t relate. I still don’t. What I DO appreciate now is its production value. Aside from some of the artificial vocal choices that Alanis makes, which get very annoying, the mix of “pop” and “grunge” elements is actually done with finesse. There’s a reason this album did as well as it did and had as many hits as it does. It’s THAT to which I can relate. 3 Boolean: True

A powerful and stylish one

This is another album that I have never hear the entire album, but the singles were fairly ubiquitous. It's also fair to say that I wasn't a fan and I wasn't looking forward to this. It took me a few times to finally get into the album and now by the time I get to the end of it, it's fine. It's probably not something that I will actively go back to, but I'm also not going to actively avoid it. One of the things that I realized I hadn't noticed about the album are the electronic elements to it, particularly the drums. That's tied into a high production style that I really wasn't a big fan of at the time, but am now more accepting of. Morissette is a compelling singer and the lyrics are decent. She also knows how to write a hook. This falls into the not for me but I can understand why it was so significant. There are also moments when I also enjoyed it.

Vaca catch up

I'm certainly more emotionally invested in a 90s pop rock album about a woman trashing her ex than most of the other variations on the same topic. What blew my mind this time is that I couldn't stop hearing the influence Alanis Morissette had on Shakira's early rock albums. I know it's the other way around, but I couldn't stop thinking this is just Shakira trashing Pique in English. As fun as all this is, this album is, well, old. It is more 90s than than me, and we were both born then. That's not necessarily bad, but for me it means I'd only listen to it for the nostalgia. Problem is, I don't feel nostalgia for this record or any of the songs in it. Not because they're bad, just because I never got into Alanis Morissette when I had to.

God she’s so cool and angry

Strong lyrics!

Um álbum com tanta liberdade criativa e um caráter tão intimista e confessional sempre terá muito a dizer. Alanis não entrega apenas o meteoro chamado "Ironic", mas também inúmeras faixas que fazem deste disco o verdadeiro início de uma carreira menos pautada pelos apelos comerciais dos anos 90.

such a good album with such good songs

Lots of good songs, but Alanis' voice gets annoying over an hour.

I know every word despite never owning it

Some great tracks. Some filler. 3.5 stars.

Didn’t hate it but every song kinda sounded the same

Pretty cool project. Feels like a foundational piece of mid 90's pop rock music and is a smooth listen.

I was slightly caught off guard by the amount of songs I knew that were on this album. This felt like a time capsule for alt-rock 90s music - this was a specific, dated sound that I don't particular like. Her singing delivery did land well for me. A lot of the songs sounded derivative of the big singles. Overall, it was an okay listen, but not substantial for me.

Gute Stimme, gute Energie. Musikalisch aber nach einer Weile verbraucht. Hatte trotzdem lange einen Ohrwurm von "Ironic" 😂

Ein paar echt gute Songs, aber auch ein paar echt schlechte dabei.

The most I knew about this album before listening to it was that two of my music hero's, Taylor Hawkins and Flea are both on this album. I've also heard 'You Oughta Know' and 'You Learn' plenty of times passively. I really enjoyed the music especially on this album, and felt like the musicianship from was defiantly there. However, from the first song I realized how much I had never paid too much attention to Alanis's singing before. I felt like her melodies and range was impressive but her annunciation was so incredibly annoying. I could not with, "Slap me with a splinteRRRRR ruleRRRRR." I understand what she was going with, being that breathy and with that annunciation, but it genuinely sounds like she is actively hurting her voice while singing. The album wasn't bad, the songs weren't bad, but I feel like the singing just betrayed the music a tiny bit.

I have mixed feelings about this record, because there are great tracks and lyrics, but I struggled to fully enjoy it. I had the impression that is rather flat and unequal at some moments. 3.5/5

3.3

90's classic. Had previously heard before, but never gets old tbh. Modern day pop artists could learn a lot, but ultimately there was better 90s bands/artists. Three Stars.

The singles are great. The rest didnt do alot for me. Sounds like avril lavigne man. Still, 5 bangers

not my cup of tea really...

Честно говоря, мне вообще не понравилось. Все песни звучат как саундтреки к сериалам об американских подростках 90х-2000х, я такое не люблю. Еще мне чаще всего не нравится женский вокал в музыке, а тут он еще и такой надрывистый, это мне не нравится ещё больше. Очень хотелось выключить, но я потерпела потому что не хотела судить по нескольким песням. Не скажу что альбом плохой, просто это не моё

Alanis really had the world by the balls in the 90’s. I remember being a kid and not being able to go anywhere without hearing one of her songs. The longevity of this album is the crazy thing though, maybe it’s because I’m a millennial but when one of her songs seems to find its way onto playlists at pubs or parties, every woman in the place stops and starts belting out the lyrics. I don’t really like pop music but the power of this album is impressive

I have this on CD but I really only bought it for two songs. I think she is amazing on this record and it has a lot of anger that comes through but at the same time the record feels way overproduced. I think a symptom of the times and the influence of record companies.

This was fine. Several well known songs, but the rest were just ok. 3/5

Una voz icónica, una estilo tipo grunge apopado. No está mal para la precesora de Olivia Rodrigo (tiraba esa), pero si es un punto que marca un estilo y una manera de hacer un disco. Esos y los singles conocidos son los puntos altos del disco. Pero es eso, no más. Cumple, se mantiene en la media. Le iba a dar un 2,5/5, pero por los singles, mayormente, y por el tipo de sonido que se intenta lograr se lleva el 3/5

God some of these songs are absolutely perfect and some are complete dog shit ass butt really interesting

You could not escape this album in the mid-90s. The influence it has is enormous. But... I just don't love it.

90s soundtrack

Несмотря на большое количество широко известных хитов, при первом за много лет прослушивании альбома, тот показался мне каким-то блеклым. Каждая следующая песня звучит так, как будто бы предыдущая и не заканчивалась

Yeah, it’s OK. Her unique vocal deliveries sometimes result in annoying histrionics, and are sometimes (less than half) interesting and effectively emotive. Generally, I’m OK with catchy pop rock (see: Pink), but this definitely feels like a dated grungy 90s production style.

Found that I did know a bunch of these songs. Greatly enjoyed them. Hated one of them, the one that goes and "I'll give a peace sign" or "high five." Other than that, great songs.

"Ironic" and "Hand in my Pocket" will be bangers 4-ever! As a big karaoke-fan I will always appreciate those car-radio sing-along hits. Otherwise it's a consistent album. But as a whole it gets quite boring after a couple of listens.

First time listening to full album. Very familiar with all the radio hits and there's a lot. I like all the popular songs on this album and can see developing a taste for the flow of the songs. Not usually my cup of tea. Sounds great and makes me wanna take a road trip.

This album is weird. I feel like there are parts of every song that I really like and others that kind of make me want to tear my ears off, the dichotomy is odd. I had a very hard time deciding which songs to add to the highlights and which was my favorite because some parts of every song made me want it in the highlights but i just also hated some of every song. In between a 3 and a 4. Highlights: You Oughta Know Forgiven Ironic Wake Up (favorite)

I think this was another very solid album. It was certainly very 90s with its breakbeats and edginess, but I think it has aged pretty well. The singing and instrumentation were enjoyable, even if a couple songs had somewhat pedestrian instrumentation, the singer is very pronounced and fun to listen to, including her lyrics. I'd say this fits within the indie rock traditions of the 90s and early 2000s that I like. The harmonic palette had consistency without becoming too tired because there were interesting accidentals and such. I always enjoy a good key change on a chorus like on "Head Over Feet." It gets a little samey by the end, perhaps, but I enjoyed it. strong 3 to a light 4

her voice is both annoying and entertaining the lyrics and arrangements are engaging enough that I feel confident with 3 stars, but I can't honestly go higher given I don't have a taste for the hyper 90's sound or her mouth noises

occasional bangers

Would she go down on you in a theatre?… no, but then she wouldn’t write and entire album moaning about you breaking up with her so swings and roundabouts 🤷🏻‍♂️ In all seriousness there are some good tunes on here but the lyrics are tiresome woman scorned narrative and she really needs to look up the definition of irony…. Rain on your wedding day is just bad luck. 2.7

Good hits. Great voice and sounds

No se puede creer la cantidad de hits que tiene este álbum. Descomunal. Parece un compilado. La cagada es que los demás temas no llegan a lo bueno de los otros. Igual, muy destacable el album que se mandó. 7/10

cool album for cool girls sisisisus

A ‘90s staple—a little weird, a little haunting.

This record embodies the 90’s for sure. I’m not sure if I totally mess with her flow on this album, but I can’t argue that this wasn’t super influential. It’s actually crazy how many artists bit on this delivery/style. Also getting jumpscared by some obnoxious Bob Dylan esque harmonicas was totally not expected. But well worth it.

Quite good.

It was fine to listen to but not an album I would buy.

Ok, this is some solid radio 90's. I never processed how many hits were on this album.

OK, hasn't dated that well.

The hits are good but couldn't enjoy the rest of it

Ehhh

Like the female version of Dave Matthews. Awful

Full despechada, tiene 2 o 3 canciones buenas

First time listening to Alanis Morissette. Here’s a breakdown for each song: All I really want: like the instrumental intro, the harmonica adds a nice touch and feels unique. My first impression of her voice is that I love it. She sounds iconic. Relatable lyrics. I normally listen to more “sung” music but I really like this for this more “talk” style. It just felt a bit basic so 3/5 You oughta know- I love the beat drop at start. It’s satisfying how they add more musical texture and the song starts. I think I might have heard the chorus before. I love the changes in dynamics. I like how it strips back to instrumentals in the middle. It’s brought back in nicely. Was getting kinda bored at some points but still really good. 4/5 Perfect- I love the shaker. Guitar chords are good and set the mood. Her vocals are really nice, didn’t realise she could sing. This song feels very raw and vulnerable unlike the others. Drums are nice. Feels kinda nostalgic. Really meaningful lyrics about the expectations placed on young people to be perfect. 4.5/5 Hand in my pocket- I love he intro. I love the vocals. Feels very “teenager” . My fav so far. Harmonica is nice. 4.5/5 Right through you- I like lyrics. Solid song. 3.5/5 Forgiven-

Myslalam ze bedzie fajne i zajeboscie sie zapowiadalo ale troche mierda

на любителя жанра. Типа кренберис или аврил лавин - та же волна. Видно что в альбом было вложено, но если честно хуйня. Переслушивать бы не стал, слишком генерик.

I didn’t care for Alanis back in the mid 90’s when this was huge. I couldn’t get past her voice (a theme for some of this week’s albums) to even care about the lyrics. Aside from Ironic which I knew wasn’t at all about irony. I hoped listening today would change that. Maybe I’d really like it more with an intentional listen. What I found is that it’s an exceptionally written record. The lyrics are very impressive. But that voice. And the affectation. I just couldn’t get past it. It’ll be a three as there’s clear talent. But I still didn’t like it. The only song that pushed through for me was Perfect, and it was a strong like and not a love.

Me gustó mucho, gran disco de los 90's. Te transporta a la época. Un sonido muy único, autentico, sin pretenciones y muy efectivo. Suena pop, pero sin dejar de lado el sonido grunge distintivo de la época. Ahora, como disco funciona, pero si destacan solo algunas canciones como You Oughta Know, Hand In My Pocket, Ironic (los sencillos al final) y Wake Up. Si revisitara el disco creo que me enfocaría en escuchar solo esas.

It's so hard to know what to think about this, because so many of these songs are so ingrained into the culture of being 'a teenage indie kid in the mid to late 90s with a broad idea that it's good to like women in music but quite a narrow range of which ones'. Basically, Alanis and Sheryl Crow were your people, and - if you were me - Hole. Thankfully, we've all come a long way since then I guess (let's not get overly drawn into the existing struggles of women in music, my point is that I have grown and matured). Anyway, I actually liked this less than I'd hoped. It's good, honest, rock instrumentation, decent songwriting and a voice that has a range from 'great' to 'please stop'. The singles remain arms-in-the-air singalongs, and the rest was also there.

This album has a ton of singles on it, and they're mostly very good (despite the 90s guitars not aging very well). Unfortunately it still has album tracks, some of which are just woof. "Perfect" is, lets say, less than perfect. "Right Through You?" Yikes. I'm not immune to the Alanissance, and maybe I'm just in a bad mood today, but this is mid.

The drums on this record almost ruin it for me. A fun little revenge record.

I was surprised by how many I knew; I thought I only knew 2 songs from her. I enjoyed some parts of it, but overall, I don't think it felt as timeless as lots of the older albums that I love. Favorites from the album: - You Oughta Know - Forgiven

at first i almost wanted to stop listening because of the "wailing" style of vocals, but after giving it a chance and listening to 2-3 songs, i found a pleasant listening experience. nothing special, but i still had a good time.

міленіали слухали і гірко плакали

Few good songs I have heard before

Some familiar songs that are decent but not a great album. I think her delivery and voice are the same on each song and it feels boring.

Sure Alanis's voice is a little jagged pill on the ears sometimes, but as much as I wanted to mock this, it's a good listen and a time capsule to the mid-90's. Also, some of the lyrics, chef's kiss.

At least it’s not tailor swift

I didn't know that those couple of iconic songs were from this one album of hers. It really has the sound of the time that has just faded from the mainstream and I liked listening to that as a throwback of sorts.

The nostalgia keeps on rolling with an album that I was all too familiar with, not only because it was ubiquitous with half of the album released as singles but also because my mate‘s brother was a fan and not only played the album regularly, he dragged me to a gig as well. Even despite that, I was surprised how much of this I remembered and in all honesty, I don’t mind it even though it’s not the revolutionary album it was painted as. It’s not something I’ll listen to again though but for a moment of nostalgia, it was ok.

Mid- some of it was strong, most of her vocals are just annoying...

There are some awesome songs on this albums. Songs that I would say that you do have to listen to before you die. I love Alanis's vocal delivery, so angsty and so freeing. But I wouldn't say I love the experience of listening to this whole album front to back.

Not the biggest fan of her style of singing but the instrumentation is good

One thing that I really enjoyed about this album is the production. Every sound has meaning and adds so much to the emotion of the record, even if I don’t fully like some of the compositions in this album the production on most songs will be what keeps me coming back. I feel like the vocals and lyrics are kind of hit or miss for me personally but it’s still a soild LP. Fav tracks: perfect, hand in pocket, you learn, ironic, and wake up

Now I know who made Hand in My Pocket. It's added to the library. Really enjoy the sound.

All good bangers, just not really my thing. Definitely of its era. While I don't consider it amazing, it was an enjoyable listen and I appreciate it within its sphere.

Some songs are too similar to Radiohead - first thought that came to my mind. Interesting vocals choice bc sometimes it seems like she is singing off tone. I know that’s on purpose but it’s still feeling a bit harsh and unpleasant for ears. Personally not a fan of. But it’s definitely feature which add something special. I like the whole vibe of album. Reminds me of light chill energy. Songs that I even liked on YT music are Mary Jane and Hand in my Pocket. All of them kinda similar but I’m not about liking all of them. Not my genre of music to listen to especially on repeat. But it deserves attention. Good

The OG Robin Sparkles and you can tell, in a good way?

it was alright

First rating, not really my style, recognized a few songs, kinda sounds like she's yelling sarcastically, good/unique lyrics, don't think I was or ever will be angsty enough to appreciate this album.

Alanis har noe slagere, liker 3 av låtene fra før! Veldig 90s lyd, digger ikke alt, hun kan bli litt intens men overall kul plate!

Some classic songs here but agree with the comment that it sounds a bit dated

I don’t know, some of these songs I love, but it does go very long. Also wish she had used more live instrumentation. Her touring band after this album was so strong, it’s a shame she didn’t get them on this record.

I would give it 2,5 if I could. I get the vibe kind of, but also I don't.

Alanis Morrisette- Jagged Little Pill (1995) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was quite surprised that I seemed to know most of this album already. Her voice grated on track 1 and I thought this would be a 2 star rating but the quality of the songs, the 90s nostalgia and Alanis reining in the vocal histrionics a bit rescued an extra star from me. Good album that I probably won’t listen to again

-incredible intro -love the electric guitar -vocals are insanee -genuinely the vibe is just immaculate

ah bixa pra gritar

This album is legendary, but I have to admit I had never fully listened to it. When I signed up for the 1001 Albums Generator, this was exactly what I was hoping for from it. I think there are a bunch of these albums and artists that I know but, for some reason, have never gotten into. Sound-wise, the album has great guitar playing and great drum sounds. It has a raw rock sound but with some "modern" production choices. It sounds like the '90s in a good way! Alanis's attitude shines throughout the album, and some lyrics are really cleverly funny.

Wel leuk, heel dramatisch op het einde

Iconic will always be iconic. I wish I was born in the 90s with my cd player. Wake up and hand in my pocket are my top songs

Such a great beginning to the album, brilliant songs with a lot of vulnerable and real emotions. The second half of the album didn’t grab me as much

Uneven alt album with some iconic songs and a lot of forgettable filler. Morissette's vocal delivery is the most hit or miss part of the album; she either brings a solid intensity or veers far to heavily into tough shrieking. Not bad, but could be a lot better. Top tracks: You Learn, Ironic, Wake Up

Déjà écouté avant. Un classique du rock alternatif des années 1990, et c'est mérité. Et dire qu'Alanis Morissette avait à peine 20 ans quand elle a enregistré Jagged Little Pill, qui pourrait tout aussi bien être son best of, vu le nombre de morceaux cultes qui s'enchaînent. Les boîtes à rythme un peu prévisibles ; la structure couplets doux/refrains "durs" à base de grosse guitare post-grunge sur la plupart des morceaux ; les affectations vocales parfois forcées d'Alanis Morissette... Pas de doute, nous sommes bien en 1995. Et pourtant, 30 ans après, et malgré les innombrables chanteuses qui ont tenté, avec plus ou moins de bonheur, de se réapproprier ses recettes, Jagged Little Pill a plutôt bien vieilli. Et ça aussi, c'est très fort. Top : Forgiven Flop : You Learn

Angry, raw, but overblown bc so many wanted to think it was tough

There was a very strong lineage of angry women in the world of '90s music, and Alanis Morissette both kind of slots into, and overshadows it. Firstly, let's get this out of the way; Alanis Morissette is not *nearly* my favorite angry woman from the '90s. I am more of an L7, Babes In Toyland, Sleater-Kinney gal. But I also can't really pretend to be surprised that Alanis Morissette is much more popular than any of these artists. Jagged Little Pill is one of the most aesthetically and commercially successful attempts to really pop-ify grunge; *And* she spends this album lashing out at men who have treated her as disposable, and it turns out that a *lot* of women can relate. It helps that she presents her lyrics with *no* frills, whatsoever, just utter bluntness. It makes the more targeted tracks here really feel like *accusations*. I will say that this approach makes some of the more vague songs sound a little clunky though. I, for one, think it's at it's worst on Hand In My Pocket and Ironic, even though they are iconic songs that I enjoy listening to. On the other hand, it really works on songs like You Oughta Know and Right Through You. As for the sound of this album, there are a lot of really popular, iconic songs here in general. But honestly, I prefer my Riot Grrrl with some more punk sensibilities. But like I said, this album is so successful for a reason, and I had a good time overall.

I've never been a big Alanis fan. Her music is ok, but it's not for me and I was too young to really get it when it came out. That said I recognize the impact she had on pop and alternative music back in the day.

6/10… pop-rock / 90s alternative / *1995

Not particularly keen on this teenage angst post grunge stuff that was going on in the mid to late 90s. 6/10

Not finished it yet. Some absolute bangers on here and now I totally get the Alanis to Avril Lavigne lineage. Wanted it to be a five but some cringey lines ("You're my best friend // Best friend with benefits") and some filler songs here. But maybe that's just my Britishness coming out and being a guy and not celebrating someone to expressing their emotions wholly and truly. I think the first three songs of this album are immaculate, however. Ironically, 'Ironic' didn't hit that hard on this listen, but I've always preferred 'Hand In Pocket' anyway. Still, it's an album that definitely deserves to be on this list and would recommend anyone to listen to it, especially in the summer, after a breakup. God, the 90s were shit, but I fuckin' hate the modern age. Turn your phone off and put this on, you'll have a better time. 3.5/5? Will probably listen to this more than some of my other 4s or 5s but Qué Sera, Sera, apologies Alanis.

doesn't get any more 2000s npc rom-com than this

GIRL BOSS ROCK Der er et par hits der sidder fast og lyder meget godt, men jeg synes sgu ikke bundniveauet er så højt. Musikken er rimelig forglemmelig og hvis Alanis' stemme så tipper over i det irriterende (hvilket desværre forekommer), ja så står numrene ikke særligt pænt... Det var faktisk mest bare åbningsnummeret ovenstående gjaldt for. Resten er meget mere lytbart. Det er en pæn 3'er

I knew some of these songs from when they came out, but I would never have chosen to put on a whole album of Morrisette. A quick read indicates this album was not only popular but also highly regarded, so I resolve to try to overcome some prejudices. The rock feel had never convinced me – guitar less integrated with the songs than even folk-rockers The Corrs managed – I think fondly of Melissa Etheridge. The not-always-in-tune voice did not attract me – was it somehow cool to be deliberately inexact? The shock-the-bourgeoisie lyrics did not convince, but the songs are not uninteresting – maybe the pitch between cynicism and candour really spoke to the young of the day? Maybe the brash and oomph was talismanic for young women in particular? I still find hard to imagine that anyone loved the yodelly yips quirk. TLDR, I can't feel it as great, I'm not even sure it's good, for me it's Okay, 6/10.

3 (tres) + (1/2)

top songs: you outta know hand in pocket ironic

I actually knew more songs than I thought on this album! Glad I got to rediscover them and add to my playlist.

“Hand in My Pocket” and “Ironic” are impressive. “Right Through You” has clever lyrics — they might even be better than those of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl.” “You Oughta Know” is a timeless classic.

Almost every song on here feels a bit too long, which is also the case for the album itself. There are some great moments on here and I want to like it, but I think some restructuring would make this stronger for me.

Great album from the 90s. This was everywhere on the radio when I was a teen, and still a fun listen to this day.

An album with several inescapable hits. Never really did anything for me but my wife loves her and plays her stuff. Forgiven has a really cool melody.

Pretty good, but most of the songs I hadn't already heard were forgettable. I like her vocals Fav track: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know

Thought I’d enjoy this one way more. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good album, but outside of some standout tracks it’s mostly just alright. Morrisette has a great voice that makes her stand out from other 90s alt-rock artists, but a lot of the songs on the album blended together. Outside of maybe Perfect they tend to follow the same dynamics structure, and while there’s clever lyricism there are songs that just feel like retreads of the “X but Y” theme that was found on Hand In My Pocket. Still good, just not as good as I wanted it to be.

Nice but not my type

It sounds like Dear Evan Hansen’s mom released an album

loved ironic!

I remember it being better idk

5/8 Meh

It’s hard to rate as an album since half these songs are huge hits I’ve heard most of my life. It is very good. The songs still sound great. Mary Jane is a dud but otherwise is a very good and timeless pop album

i think this is just not for me . I didn't like it but i don't think it is a bad album. Also her voice is unique in a good way

Massively popular album, you’ve got to admire how brave she was lyrically - especially at such a young age.

Fist two songs are quite rocky. With harmonica on the background. Perfect is relatable af.

The guitar was great but other than that I didn’t really like it I listened to the entire album just not my thing

Ну не знаю. Мне кажется, некоторым вещам стоит оставаться в девяностых. Необычный вокал - первое что замечаешь при прослушивании, и очень удачно что прямо перед этим у меня была Дженис, чье пение в меццо-сопрано тоже крайне характерное, и я не спорю, что это дело вкуса и все такое но, извините, Дженис мне нравится а вот это - нет. К тому же, помимо вокала здесь довольно типичные (на мой слух) около-рок около-поп аранжировочки прямиком из девяностых. И как бы, я это дело люблю и мне такое нравится, но когда тебе в ухо орут "А когда ты трахал свою девку думал обо мне??" то как-то.. ну хз... mehh.. Особенное омерзение по исполнению вызвала Perfect. пиздец. По оценке ну уж наверное это не 1, и даже не 2, но точно не 4.

I didn’t finish it, but from what I remember it was a solid but what I assume is the bottom half of the 1001

Wanted to rate higher but outside the hits the other songs aren’t very interesting. Think I would have given a 4 when I was 18

My main reaction throughout this album was 'if only xyz, it's still entertaining though'. Really strong 3, but I wouldn't choose this album to listen to again. Really awesome, it might even be my favorite 3-star album yet. Added 'Ironic' to the playlist so at least I'll remember this album. - She better start singing at some point... - At least it's kinda catchy I guess - Random hugley popular song I've hard a million times. Thought I recognized the voice - This genre will always struggle to get a ranking from me, but I am enjoying this - I feel like this album, covered in the 2020s, and I'd love it. It's just a tough sound and her voice isn't my favorite. - This is an awesome album that I wish I could love. So many HUGE pop songs that are burned into my head and I don't even know why. Would've been fun to be living when this came out.

A bit meh, 6/10

Dit album doet me dus echt heel erg denken aan Anouk, de Nederlandse zangeres. Beetje dezelfde hoek van alternative poprock. You Oughta Know is natuurlijk een ontzettend bekend nummer. Wel weer 'standaard' benieuwd wat dit inhoud voor de rest van het album. Is het Layla and other songs of is de rest ook goed te trekken? Toen kwam Hand In My pocket, heee die ken ik ook! Nooit aan gedacht dat dit van dezelfde zangeres had kunnen zijn eigenlijk. Nee dit is echt een meer dan prima poprockalbumpje. Niet wereldschokkend wat dat betreft maar wel lekker om een keer te horen. Heeft Alanis er een nieuwe fan bij? Nee, dat zeker niet. Daarvoor vind ik het toch allemaal een beetje teveel van hetzelfde. Maar om een keer te horen? Prima, en best leuk om die 'oude' hits weer eens te horen. FAVO: You Oughta Know, Hand in my pocket, Ironic

6 - remember this being better. She is mighty salty.

didn't like it so much. some songs are good, but ñe

The sound of being 18. There were better albums then, too. Some nicely nostalgic memories here though.

é um album ok, não passa pra mais e nem pra menos

Músicas pra ouvir na rádio rock entre as 10h e as 16h

É os 90 nao são para mim

Xanax?

This was dripping with 90s vibes, and the classic "You Oughta Know" was a hit even I recognized. A lot of emotional and clever metaphorical lyrics aimed at bad exes. Not my usual style, but it was a very interesting listeb nonetheless.

Gets bonus points bc ironic is on the album

some real bangers. amazing voice. recognized two songs from the album so 4.5/10

Powerful vocals, but not something I'd listen to twice.

Its a memed album but its good. Not my style as much but Id bang it out

3/5 Joa

I will preface by saying I worked in retail where the hit from this record played frequently and often. Was slightly dreading this listen, not because the songs are bad, but simply because the times I had while some of these tracks were playing were. Overall a pretty nice listen, the fretless bass was a pleasant surprise. This record is also a master class in 90s production maximalist and full. Harmonica and layered unique vocals with a small pinch of experimentation. I don’t see myself coming back to this release however if it plays in my presence I won’t be upset. Might even tap a toe or two.

I do agree it's an important album and deserves it's place on The List, although I personally don't find it that enjoyable to listen to as a whole. 3 my personal rating 5 suitability for this list 5 impact ----------------------------------------------- 4.3 composite rating

I can see why people love it Her voice is kinda crazy but the songwriting is memorable

I truly don't know how to feel about this, hence my middling rating. On one hand, I love the anger, cutting lyrics and hits on this album. On the other, Alanis' vocals can be grating and the whole album is dripping in 90s tropes that haven't aged well, in my opinion. I grew up on Alanis, but don't feel I can give her more than 3 stars for this one. 6/10

Nostalgic album filled with love-songs, great for roadtrips

Some outstanding tracks (You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic) which make up for the less stimulating ones.

Did not mind this album, but it become a bit tiresome towards the end. I like some individual tracks, I even have "Ironic", but some were just mah.

Ahhhh, Jagged Little Pill. A good instance to talk about the state of music journalism in the mid-90s. The stars aligned, and Alanis Morissette created something massively commercially successful—and, as it turned out, highly influential. Sure, the soil had been prepared by others, but AM did a great job harvesting it. The result is a fun, sometimes overly theatrical, but surprisingly enduring sound—one that has even seen a steady resurgence in recent years. But back to journalism: why did Jagged Little Pill receive so many bad reviews, especially from indie leaning outlets? Like many listeners, journalists were somewhat oversaturated with alt-rock. Add a dose of misogyny and that insufferable “authenticity” tag. I mean, Alanis Morissette played with a lot of influences, but the earth had already been shattered by her predecessors. Alanis Morissette embellished her songs with an undeniable pop sensibility and made restrained use of riot grrrl, grunge, trip-hop, etc. The result sounds either kaleidoscopic (if you’re a fan) or a tad overstuffed (if you like but don’t love JLP). The criticism, as far as I recall, was that where Liz Phair’s lyrics were overly explicit, AM’s were seen as more commonplace and somewhat ambiguous. Hole’s sound was drug-addled and raw—AM sounded polished, and the hardest thing she seemed to be doing was smoking a cigarette. Bikini Kill were downright political—AM felt like life lived somewhere in between the stairs. Still, is that a bad thing? For some “authentic” indie journalists, yes, it was. But looking at it now, I understand that position even less. Jagged Little Pill is a neat little mainstream pearl, where an artist managed to blend all the musical currents of its time into a cohesive whole. To some degree, yes, it functioned as a kind of projection surface, and I, too, occasionally miss a bit of punch. But hey—great album, still. Good to see that journalistic opinion seems to have shifted in AM’s favour over the years. Deservedly so.

This album feels like it hasn't aged well. It was kind of generic to me when it came out, feels generic now. I guess I can see why its on the list, there are some monster hits here.

Buen sonido por, parece mas viejo de lo que aparenta, la voz me parece algo nuevo siendo que nunca escuché un estilo tan hablado y dramático en una mujer. 8/10

Not much to say. Kinda interesting, but didn’t enjoy it enough to come back to it again.

More 90s than a tamagotchi in Blockbuster

Favorite song head over feet I feel like every song could be in 90s movie soundtrack its great

I’m giving it a 3 because there is a lot of good in this album. However, and I cannot tell you why, I cannot stand Alanis’ voice

Tiene una canción q es muy buena

not bad & I’ve definitely heard a few songs on this album before

what a joyful little album

Like pure nostalgia into my veins. But also, definitely not as good as I remember it.

First time I listened to an entire alblum by her. Would do it again. Entertaining

Excellent listen. Still really good to this day

This album was everywhere when I was a teenager. I remember Alanis when she was alanis and when she was on you can’t do that on television. Actually pretty solid album, and even features flea on a song. Would like to be too cool and give it a 2 but it’s actually pretty good.

J’ai bien aimé le style mais je sais que je réécouterais pas cet album de mon plein gré

Sounds like the 90s alright. Dated, stuck at that very specific timeframe. But well, that's the charm of this album, I guess. Was turned away at the very start cause of her vocals. They're annoying, and cringe at times tbh, but got used to them so not that big of a deal. Still great tho, she brings out a magnitude of emotions and does mostly well portraying all of them. The song-writing... uhm, is a mixed bag. Super lame and bland at times (like in "Right Through You" she mentions something about being a zillionaire and the guy won't be on her credits, wtf were you thinking writing that shit), amazing and unhinged at others. Overall great. The theme is.... well... same old heartbreak, unsuccessful relationships, acceptance and whatnot, the same old same old done in a VERY angry, vulnerable and I guess sexual manner. Didn't hit me as hard but I can still appreciate it. Very female centric. Something your middle aged liberal/feminist Aunt would blast off and reminisce about her childhood. The many difficulties she endured growing up, and how this cruel world has tormented her. Even tho she was raised as a fucking princess and is living a life you can only dream of living. Overall, a solid album with strong song-writing and tight production even though it sounds incredibly dated. Didn't connect with me and was forgettable, but a good album nevertheless. Fav track(s): You Outta Know, Right Through You, Head Over Feet.

I found this to be pretty generic and I wasn’t completely in love with her voice. There’s some fun tracks on this album, but overall nothing too special.

It had an edgy vibe I liked, but the song sounded similar at one point; still, I like it.

3,5

Though certainly dated and not too New in regards to pop music, it was still a solid good time

Most of these reviews ain't gonna be long like the last one but if I had to rate it I would probably go a low six again I got around the same enjoyment as the last album so this a pretty similar ranking

My first time hearing the whole thing. the lyrics are clever, the songs are good, but I think the mix should be heavier. The musicians are thrashing their instruments - this should have a harder rock sound to give it the energy it deserves, That would make it a 4

Really this album comes down to how well it ages, what ... wait ... this album is 30 years old now!? Damn. This album was really good 30 years ago. Today its listenable, as oh wow, I haven't listened to that album in 30 years, oh yeah, its definitely a product of its time, it was fun to revisit, but will never listen to it again.

Not crazy about Alanis Morissette
