Jagged Little Pill

Good album, better than Rolling Stones!

This is not the best album of the 90s, but it does encapsulate the sound of the 90s perhaps better than any other record.

I like some of her music. This album just reminds me of angry girlfriends from the 90’s. She can sing but I like other songs / albums better than this one.

Echt leuk Weirdly strijdvaardig pittig / punky

Taking me back to the early days of high school. I loved the edginess of this album. A rocker yet soft somehow. Definitely made me feel a certain way listening to it and in my books any album that brings out emotions is a winner.

Sounds like the music they play at the Bing in the Sopranos. Her voice is like an indie girl mixed with the yodeling of that lady from the Cranberries. Would fit in the movie Juno pretty well. Or maybe Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show sucks. I couldn't even get past episode 4. The British guy was middling attractive. I'm really not gay though. And it also sounds like, in Friends, the Smelly Cat music video. Has the really famous song, one of the famous ones where people only know the words to the chorus, called "You Oughta Know" 90s pop, so good vocals, questionable. Switches back and forth between electronic drums and acoustic drums. Weak guitar tone, half-buried in the mix, with the dirty 90s sound. 6/10 2/20/2024

Strong songwriting, raw vocals, and edgier lyrics than I remember from the trimmed clean segments that would often end up in every film and TV show of the 90s-2000s.

Very good album didnt expect to know so much songs on here

in parts im fucking heavy with it but then sometimes her voice just fucking gets me and it really really pisses me off and idk why... its like a squeaky marker or nails on a chalkboard i cant stand it there are some really good tracks in this album and the instrument work is great.. its just those moments that really fuck the album up for me... i really dont know how i feel about this album, its like i really like it but also fucking hate everything about it at once. its like i want to like it but the whiny whiny whiny voice sounds like i've just kicked a pig down the stairs and its squealing as it hits each fucking step like each time i start to like a song the pig bounces down and hits another step and i start wondering why the fuck i kicked it in the first place. if i'm being generous i'd give it maybe a 2.5? its a weird one

Love. Love. Love. Reconnecting with all the lyrics.

I went into this thinking Alanis is just yesterday’s Taylor Swift, but there are some absolute bangers on here, including perfect, hand in my pocket, head of feet, you learn, and the other radio songs.

very good, liked it a lot very influential

no notes. one of my most favorite albums of all time, and it was my first concert.

finally an album i already knew in its entirety!

I remember my english teacher playing 'you oughta know' in high school a while back, nice album

Alanis is a goddess she cannot get anything less than 5 stars from me. Also I appreciated this album so much more after watching the documentary.

ironic is fucking unlistenable. we love female rage but this 90’s style and her entire vocal scope is like nails on a chalkboard. maybe i just didn’t get a divorce in 1996 but this album sucks.

I think she invented the quirky lopsided beanie angst girl vibe and credit to her for that

2 days in a row where I've heard the album before, but a long time ago before i was regularly listening to albums. But I wasn't a big enough fan of the album to relisten now (this one's closer to a strong 5 light 6 whereas Slipknot is more of a strong 4 light 5). Used to hate Alanis's music (and I still can't stand Ironic or You Learn), but I've come to appreciate this album a bit. I like You Oughta Know. 2.5/5

Several bangers. High degree of nostalgic enjoyment, but a great example of a category I don't love.

a rare one-album-wonder

No denying this one.

Love it, classic!

Don’t like alanis

This brings me back. I can only listen to Alanis Morissette in small doses.

Surprisingly good. I enjoyed several tracks and seemed very original to me.

One of my first cassettes (bought it with Boyz II Men II). I can still remember screeching along with her in my room, with a Barbie as a microphone. My poor parents. 4/5

So many classics in one hard hitting album. Thank you!

Some great songs on here, but couldn't make it through that many songs in here vocal style. I get it's a stylistic thing, but the voice cracks make Dolores O'Riordan sound like Whitney Houston in comparison

I really like this album. I remember when it came out: I liked it then too.

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill My review of this album is going to be more personal rather than historical. This album came out during my Junior year of college (1995). You Oughta Know was everywhere and was only a precursor of what was going to come for Alanis and the Jagged Little Pill album. College is where my musical tastes began to really change. (1991-1996) In high school I mainly listened to what is now known as hair band. Now, there's nothing wrong with that and I still go back and listen to those artists, but something changed during those years. I moved from artists like Poison and Mötley Crüe to Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Grunge was beginning to be my genre of choice. I also listened to 90s country (product of the radio stations near my college) but there was something about this new music genre, it really spoke to me. I also began to flirt with artists like Tori Amos and other female artists. And Alanis merged those two interests with this album. Music is a time machine. Listening to a specific song can transport you back to that time in your life. It can make cry tears of sadness or tears of joy, depending on your journey around that song. Like I said before, you couldn't turn on MTV without seeing the You Oughta Know video and the speculation of who this song was written about still rages today, we're looking at you Uncle Joey! I was able to fulfill a dream come true somewhere between 98 & 01. At the time I worked for Best Buy and they were sponsoring a tour of Tori Amos and Alanis Morissette. I volunteered (along with my wife) to hand out flyers at the show for free tickets. It was so so so good! Anyway, all of that too say that this album is very special to me. I loved the anger and the unapologetic nature of this Canadian woman who really opened the door for future female artists like Fiona Apple, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and other artists. I think it's why I'm still drawn to strong women (in life and in music)! 5/5

Look, I don’t comment on the albums I listen to here… I legitimately try to be objective, and generally can listen to an album and then go about my day. I will listen, rate, and then move on. But sometimes, UGH. I listen to some shit that brings me back to a time and I just cannot get past it and move on… and JFC, even almost 30 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) years later I cannot. I WANT TO LIKE THIS ALBUM BUT OMG I CANNOT. The whiiiiiiiining. Omg. All I really want is to never listen to this whiny shit again.

1990s edgy and the beginning of emo punk for me.

It felt like popular music in the 90s was unique in that instead of ballads and bravado from inflated egos we got songs full of angst and despair. Jagged Little Pill reflects that perfectly. There are definitely some subtle grunge influences on this album reflected in slower downbeat verses and a louder more prominent chorus. With 5 hit singles (You oughta know, Hand in my Pocket, Head Over Feet, You Learn, Ironic) this album goes down as a crown jewel, winning album of the year, for an artist who embraced her strife and channeled it into something amazing, but could never get close to the same success for the rest of her career.

Morrisette portrayed a mute God in Kevin Smith’s 1999 film, Dogma. I guess if you were mistreated by some ass hole in the 90’s then this album may have messianic properties also. Sadly for me it’s a messsy mix of alt rock rage and arena rock balladry. Listen to Tori Amos or Fiona Apple instead.

That was enjoyable. I'm more used to the remixes and dance versions of the familiar songs.

Some albums get a bit of a nostalgia vote. I genuinely loved this coming up on the generator. I still remember all the lyrics and was singing along like a maniac. And boy does her anger at crappy men resonate. Guys who are commenting on her looks before even mentioning the music 🖕🏻The ingrained misogyny is strong

Wow what an album. Great singing, instrumentation, full of passion. Lives up to its reputation.

Solid debut after her child star career . Good songs and a team that met their goal of making her famous backing band really shows on some songs . Still can’t believe she wrote that song for that dopey guy on that show I never watched

I’ve listened to this album too many times to count…and mostly against my will. It’s a good album, I just do not need to hear it ever again.

Classic. Almost every song on this album was a hit. Great song writing and lyrics

Very good and easy to listen to

I like

Definitely takes me back, didn't enjoy it as much as when it was first released. It is still unique and has some greats songs.

Knew a few songs on this, it's surprisingly pretty good, except for the first track that really turned me off. My first album exploration, starting off great! 3.5/5

Classic. One of the two first albums I bought and still holds up almost 30 years later. 4/5

Opzich priem, maar niks bijzonders 3

Alanis strong voice comes in different shapes and sizes whilst finding a way to blend into each and every track

Shortly after this album was released I was invited to a girly pyjama party. It was a gaggle of 20-somethings curling their hair, painting their nails, putting face packs on and singing along to this album. I was so out of my depth. I don’t hate this album, but it does nothing for me. I can never forgive her for Ironuc. isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? NO!!!! And as for the your house song - she sounds like a flipping stalker. This smacks to me of artificial angst and faux emotion. When it came up as the choice, I could only groan. That girly party ended with everybody watching a video of the movie Philadelphia, which I pretty much attributed with the same qualities as the album. A memorable evening, which was as far from enjoyable as you can get. I did really like Alanis Morissette in Dogma though!

I find her voice slightly annoying but the songs are so fun to sing along to. I saw the musical ‘Jagged Little Pill’ last year and these songs were used well to tell a contemporary story.

I came into this listen with massive prejudice. I bought this album upon release on the strength of "You Oughta Know" and promptly returned the CD the next day. I felt duped. So, I am expecting to not like this at all. And, well, the opener was pretty annoying, but that's just a personal preference thing, not a commentary on the music, per se. "You Oughta Know" holds up. Still good for all the reasons it was in 1995. And then, song by song, I was growing less and less enamored. Started skipping past songs half-way through. The hits (Head Over Feet, Ironic, and Hand In My Pocket) all irk me. So again, I suppose it's personal preference, but the grooves are lacking. Where "You Oughta Know" has a killer riff and groove, a lot of the other material is a lot more uninteresting and sterile, IMO, and coupled with Morissette's strange pronunciation and articulation of words, and her propensity to wail wail wail, it's just not music that speaks to me. I'm less animated in my dislike, I guess I get why some folks relate, but I totally don't. About half-way through, I was at a 3-star, despite my personal inability to connect, but as the album kept rolling I realized this fell below the mid-mark in my book.

I, like millions of other people, bought a copy of this when it came out. It was such a cathartic record at the time—which is saying something as a guy, but damn I loved her anger. A few years ago, I decided to revisit it, and on that listen, it felt flat, dated, and contrived. It had gone from a 4 to a 2. Today, though, I was into it a little more. There are plenty of songs that don't work--her singing can be too...much, for lack of a better word, and I don't always believe her, and as a writer I just can't with the lyrics to Ironic--but the songs that do work are absolute bangers. So 3 stars overall, but a few of these tunes have been stuck in my head for days, and you just gotta tip your hat to someone who can do that.

I don't mind admitting that the overplayed hits still rock. But the lesser known ones are problematic. Indeed by the time Perfect played, Andre's critique over coffee on Saturday morning was ringing in my ears. So for me it's 6 bangers and 6 flops, which equals straight up the middle 3.

Absolute classic. Banger after banger

No me gusta la armonica en las canciones

This record is A N G R Y. I'd never listened to it and knew the overall demeanor about it, but it's different to actually hear it. It's also a super well-made record. Lots of extremely recognizable songs that feels like the epitome of a 90s rock record.

Immediate 5 star. Love Alanis, her music and her lyrics. There's such a brilliant edginess to the music and lyrics. The songs exude intelligence and raw femininity. All I Really want - A classic - "And all I really want is some of style.." You Oughta Know - A classic song in my top ten - every word a masterpiece - "..and are you thinking of me when you fuck her" Perfect - A slow classic - "Be a good girl try a little harder' Hand in my pocket - Another classic - "I feel drunk but I'm sober..." Right through you - "You took a long hard look at my ass". So angry and edgy Forgiven - Delicate classic - 'You know how us Catholic girls can be" You learn - "Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)" Head Over Feet - "Youve already won me over in spite of me" Mary Jane - "Well it's full speed baby in the wrong direction" Ironic - so many classics 'A no smoking sign on your cigarette break" Not the Doctor - "You're a very big boy now , I don't wanna be your mother's Wake up - "Theres no fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for" Absolutely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This album and artist reminds me of a horrible boss I had at the time this came out. She absolutely loved it and I can't stand it, but I recognize it's mostly because of the b**** Lynette. But also it has a kind of affectation that I don't like. The same as Lynette I guess. Dang, I can't even get through the album and I'm normally down for a good rant.

Generally a fan of the punk rock vibes on this album. The classic songs are iconic, and I'd say the others hold up. I'm not the biggest fan of weird lyrics, and on first listen I'd say this album boasts its share at times. Some of the less popular cuts start to sound a bit similar. 8/10 Favorite Songs: You Oughta Know, Head Over Feet Least Favorite Songs: All I Really Want, Not the Doctor

The more I think about it the more I realize that this album is a banger. 5/5

rocky!

I bought this at the time and played it to death. Nowadays it seems this is outdated and even ridiculed. I don't really know where she went but at the time she was powerful and scarey and magnetic. Brilliant lyrics with a powerful message. The music is raucous and jagged (I know) and Ought and Pocket are two of the best songs from the 90s. Brilliant album.

I really find Alanis’ voice to be very annoying. Didn’t enjoy this album very much. 4/10 Top 3: 1. Ironic 2. Your House - A Capella 3. Head over Feet

Is this album a product of the 90s? Totally. Does it do a great job at showcasing the artist's talent and abilities? No doubt! I can see why this album did extremely well because Alannis took the sound of what was popular (grudge and alt rock) and made it into an artistic statement that felt both personal and inspirational. I feel because of an album like Jagged Little Pill existing there wouldn't have been artists like Gaga, Adele, or even SZA to incorporate her blueprint in the future. 4 out of 5 stars.

I kinda knew I'd like this, but daaaamn I really feel bad for 13-year-old me that didn't get this recommended on her Pandora stations. Like, she kinda needed this album. I would have had so many mix CDs with Alanis Morissette and Flyleaf side-by-side, ya know? 3 songs in, I knew I was probably going to give this 5 stars.

do I literally stress you out. this album is not perfect enough to me for this rating and yet

Thought this would be fine to listen through, this was big in my early 20s and I always found the singles OK. Had no idea I was going to dislike it as much as I do! The first half really leans into the immature "psycho ex who needs to let-go and move on" theme a bit too much. It's fairly excruciating and the music is lightweight MTV freindly guff. We have a moment of self-awareness and maturity with "You Learn" then it's basically pure Middle-Of-the-road. By the end we are driving squarely down the middle of the Canadian highway in a winnebago listening to Linda Rondstat on 8-Track. Also first of the Sinead O'Connor copying yodellers. Yikes. Still not as insufferable as "What's Up" by Four Non-Blondes.

Alanis wrote the song of the summer for like all of the early 2000s with this one album. Everything makes so much sense after listening to this record. + I like it when she tells me to be a good boy

Me encantó

3.3 - I think what makes this "unlikely breakthrough" so "unlikely", is that it actually sucks. The pretentious coffeehouse musings on "All I Really Want"??? Her self-righteous indignation of the Catholic faith on "Forgiven"??? But what do I know? To this day, at least one of the five hits off this record gets played once every hour on corporate radio. "You Oughta Know" remains a mainstay at any karaoke the world over. Clearly, Alanis tapped into something real. But, come on, that harmonica solo on "Head over Feet"???

Four iconic 90s songs. Alanis is a complete badass.

meh. i dont really like the 1990 or 2000s aesthetic, i think in music its been exploited and its not really pretty. This album for me its a 6.5/10 for me. its good, but meh

One of my favorites

Bought this album while living in Tokyo in 1995. Always reminds me of those days. Good album. Good times!

De lo mejor.

When Jagged Little Pill is good, it’s fucking awesome. I don’t think people remember just have huge Alanis was for a period. She was literally god, it was all due to this album. You Outta Know is the breakup song Taylor wishes she had in her. I love the album but slightly too much filler for a 5. 8.6/10

Fun unexpected nostalgia trip

Idk. It's pretty good.

Was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed listening through. Angsty sure, but my 14 year old self had better taste than I had expected. Wrestled with a 3 or 4 star.

Pure nostalgia. Was obsessed as a kid

When this album dropped, I had just embarked on a degree in creative writing, poetry specifically. I remember the lyrics of that first song on JLP and how they hit. And how they hit now-- about the same. I remember being so frustrated that the writing was so BAD. So there was something very off-putting by that very first impression of Alanis and I pretty much wrote her off from the moment go. Like, this is the dumbest music ever and I can't believe people are digging it when the writing is this terrible. Fortunately, she did more. Hand in my Pocket hit just like that first track. Terrible lyrics. I'm drunk but I'm sober... I mean okay. She did more. And on and on. This was a huge success, and I heard it a ton in college, but I largely dismissed it. Still do. But that said, I've come to really respect her as an artist as she did more. And I really respect her as a mother. Particularly with what I see as her greatest moment so far on "Ablaze": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30glqwNDec&t=110s I'm sure it was set up, but I thought it was beautiful. She is a whirlwind of love here and the lyrics, finally, are great. Glad she did more. This album was a good place to start.

Alanis Morissette is a rock legend to the max, she can really whip a horses ass! Don't forget, the best thing about this album is Wesley Willis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_fg_D1noOY

Alanis Morissette sounds like a parody of herself. It’s immediately apparent on the opening track, “All I Really Want.” Is it yodels? Or donkey moans? Or just overly dramatic and exaggerated? I recently saw her do a duet with James Corden updating the lyrics of “Ironic.” Corden was clearly doing a humorous exaggeration of Morissette’s vocals, style, and mannerisms. Except he sounded just like she does. The overall sound of the album, minus the vocals, is very rooted in the mid-90s. Somewhere in between grunge and alternative rock and the pop rock that would dominate the second half of the decade. That sweet spot, along with rock radio and MTV getting fully behind “Ironic,” launched “Jagged Little Pill” into the stratosphere. It really can’t be understated. It’s the 14th best selling album of all time! No other female-fronted rock act has come anywhere close. The album is packed with hits beyond “Ironic,” but the best songs may not have been the singles. I think? Maybe I just got sick of the singles, which often had the most egregious vocal excessiveness. But some of the other songs were pleasant surprises barring some excessive yodeling - I was a bit taken by parts of “Forgiven” that almost sound like they came from Pearl Jam’s “Vitalogy,” which came out a year prior. I’m always fascinated by the rock musicians that record under the name of lead singer/guitarist rather than as a band. It seems like more of a pop star kind of thing, but many artists all over the rock spectrum have done it. Going solo is rarely actually solo. And it wasn’t just studio musicians on “Jagged Little Pill” - Dave Navarro and Flea played on “You Oughta Know.” But maybe this was a pop album clothed as a rock record. Morissette’s first two albums, put out through MCA Records Canada, were never released in the States and are no longer in print. But the Alanis of those records was described as the “Debbie Gibson of Canada” - her jagged rock star turn was a departure from her early pop days. Or was her alt rock debut just a pop record with era-appropriate guitars?

It's a little shocking that I never owned this album. It was squarely in my wheelhouse as a teenage girl in the mid-90s. Maybe I never felt the need to own it because I heard it everywhere. Upon my first real listening of this album, a few decades removed from being a teenager, I am transported to the feelings of angst rooted in contradiction, and the euphoric relief that someone finally said all the things. My favorite line from a review of Jagged, the documentary based on Jagged Little Pill, is that Alanis wasn't just giving concerts — she was a herald, bringing the news about all the things women were not going to be quiet about anymore. This album feels more confessional than angry but I think that makes it even more compelling. Two of my favorite tracks are ones that weren't singles and are therefore new to me, Perfect and Right Through You, and I wonder if part of the reason these cut so deep is that I have gone from being a teenage girl to raising one. I think this album falls off a bit towards the end, but this album still deserves 5 stars for how influential it was. Alanis was a herald in more ways than one. The documentary Jagged makes note of the fact that there was basically a very small quota for the number of female artists getting airtime and they weren't allowed to play female artists back-to-back. Alanis helped open the doors for more female artists to break into the mainstream and my female-artist dominated playlists thank her for that.

I think the first time I heard her sing I thought “what the hell is this?” What is with this yodel-y, ANGRY chick? And then I loved it. It’s some of the bravest singing I had ever heard. And it came at a time that I NEEDED to see a pop star not being perfect, but instead being unabashedly herself. Yesterday I listened and then I almost listened again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Alanis Morissette is God. Well maybe not, but she did play God in Dogma, the Jay and Silent Bob movie from 1999. I wanted to watch her scenes to come up with something snazzy for this review. Unfortunately Dogma is not available on a streaming service. You want to know why? Harvey fucking Weinstein!!! That asshole owns the rights and is sitting on it. He also refused to sell the rights back to Kevin Smith for a reasonable amount of money. So the only way to watch Dogma is to find a DVD. Unbelievable. Anyway, Alanis Morissette comes to earth and saves the universe from two rotten angels with her powerful voice. And that my friends is where I’d like to focus. The standard version of this album is fine. The hits are hits and some of the other songs are let downs. Glen Ballard did an OK job as producer but he screwed up the best part of this album…Alanis’s voice…because he covered it up too much with his bullshit instrumentation. Side note: Ballard also screwed up The Dave Matthews Band’s sound when he produced their album Everday. It was a big let down. What really got me to embrace these songs is the acoustic version of the album, which is available on the Collector’s edition. In that version, Ballard’s instrumentation is present, but stripped back and out of the way. The acoustic version takes a let down song like Mary Jane and makes a wonderful experience. I give the standard version of the album a 3, the acoustic version a 5, and I’m splitting the difference because they should have been smart enough to use the acoustic version in the first place. I know that’s the version Kevin Smith must have heard when he cast Alanis as God for the purpose of using her powerful voice to save the universe.

Excellent pop/rock album.

Radio music, she oscillated between being good and obnoxious depending on the intensity of the song. The slower ones were generally better. I was surprised I recognised two hits here, Ironic and You Oughtta Know. Stand-out: Forgiven

A monumental album from the 90s seemingly filled with endless hit singles. On a full album listen, the weaker tracks stand out, but not by much. A very good picture of the mid 90s

This was a really good album some songs were unexpected to me I assumed it was going to be like a Fiona apple sorta vibe and it definitely was and so much more I liked the blues elements in some of the songs and I found it very interesting at some points

i really enjoyed this album throughout. would definitely listen again. this album barely scrapes a 5 in my opinion as i enjoyed it more than all other albums which i would rate as 4.

two or three tracks I've heard on the radio before and are decent enough when listened to standalone. but listening to this album i realise most of it is garbage and i even start disliking the few songs i thought were okay before. voice is quite tiring, and music is only enjoyable if it not focused on at all. also don't like the harmonica.

What a classic.

Has some strong songs! The vocals on some other songs weren’t for me but still a good record overall

This is the first time I have listened to an Alanis album front to back and boy have I been missing out. The first song was a chaotic way to start a debut album, but it worked somehow. Her vocals are *chef’s kiss*. The album made me feel like I lived through the grunge of the 90’s (as not an infant). Will be listening to her discography now.

I didn't technically listen to this whole album today but I think I'm legally obligated to give it 5/5 stars. Alanis knocked it out of the park with this angsty debut and I will always love this album.

Great album. Fun fact: this was the first album I ever owned. My mom gave it to me when I was around 8 years old and I loved and knew every song. Weird day for it to pop up here, 1/22/24.

Is it even legal for there to be so many bangers on one album? I had never listened to this one front to back before, but I was surprised by how many I already knew!

I bought this album on CD a few years after release when I was going through a breakup and I could relate to a lot of the songs on the album and helped me get through. Some really good cutting lyrics. I don’t know if I was the target audience. I was late 40’s then and in my 70’s now but I still love this album. All memories of the reasons I bought the album are now gone but I like it in its own right having lots of memorable tunes. I don’t wallow now in its melancholy but will put it on to happily sing along. I sold the original CD a few years ago but recently obtained it again from a charity shop. As a regular visitor to charity shops searching for cheap CD’s you can more or less guarantee that this album will be on the shelves of every shop selling for a few pence. What that says about the album I don’t know. Probably it’s because the album sold in such high numbers there are plenty about and were disposable when owners (like me) discovered streaming. I have also obtained the acoustic version on one of these visits which compliments the original. I put this album in my top 5 guilty pleasure albums and one I will keep coming back to.

Superb

Alanis knows how to choose her singles, that's for sure. Everything else? Was not a big fan.

Kinda mid

Huge fan

Hailing a taxi cab

Alternative goat

Morissette poured her heart into ever song on this album. It has a lot of variety while still staying a quality LP. At times it can feel veeeeeery nineties, but it’s not necessarily something against it.

Fun album, recognized a lot of the tracks despite never listening to this before.

4.25

Powerful musical story. I love the music and words. Great album

more substance than I recalled. As others have noted, very 90s, but not shit for it.

Este trabajo es una joya de los noventa. Hacia tiempo que no escuchaba el disco entero de un tirón y me ha gustado igual o más que cuando me lo compré allá por el año 1996. Este si se merece estar entre los discos más importantes del rock

Cooles Rock-Album

Passionate anger Trembling yet bold belting Woman of sure fire

1001 can be heaven and hell. This album after the beautiful album by Rufus Wainwright, .Bloody hate Alanis Morissette and then mainly the way she is singing, as if whole world is a big conspiracy against her and we have to know that. She is like endless rai-he-hain in a lovely sunny life. Not one star but two stars because Ironic is really a beautiful song.

like nails on chalkboard this is the most talentless album i have ever heard on this list. this must be some sick fucking joke. she cant sing, her lyrics are whack, the instrumentals are dated boring shit from the 90s. fuck this is straight up awful! ignificant 35/105 Liked 16/105 Added 4/105 fuck no, fuck no, fuck no

Monster Album. 96 Grammy for Album of the Year, Rolling Stones top 500 albums of all time, 33 MILLION copies sold. hard to find more conclusive indication of "Monster album" . As a Canadian lad who spent his 20's in the 90's, I was literally baptized in these waters. Every song on this album resonates with me, every song has a whole set of memories unique to THAT song. There is a connection to ALL the lyrics, to the sound of her voice, to the rhythm in the track list. I have spent 30+ years of my life spinning records, playing tens of thousands of songs and THIS album easily lands on my "if I only had ten albums on a dessert island". If you were close to 25 in 96, tell me I'm wrong...

Meiner Meinung nach gehört dieses Album zu den ganz großen Albem in der Musikgeschichte der Pop- und Rockmusik. Nicht allein wegen der unglaublich starken Hits wie: You oughta know, Ironic, Hand in your pocket, All I really want, sondern auch wegen der sagenhaften Stimme von Alanis. Von samt, zart , leise bis laut, explosiv, stimmgewaltig, aber immer angenehm, spannend und faszinierend bewegt sie sich anerkennend im Ohr. Hinzu kommen noch die wunderbaren Texte. Die guitarrenlastigen Arrangements sind abwechslungsreich, verziert entweder mit einer Mundharmonika zarten Streichern. Wie gesagt ein großes Album.

Este disco salió en 1995. Justo en el año en que que debió de salir, porque es el culmen de los 90. Un disco que suena a pantalones cargo caídos y a tribales tatuados en la zona lumbar. En general, un disco que ha envejecido realmente mal. Apoyado únicamente por la voz de Alanís, el disco no tiene nada más que decir. Creo que sí todas las copias hubiesen desaparecido mágicamente en 1997, hoy nadie recordaría este artefacto demasiado hijo de su tiempo para mal en este caso.

Man I underestimated this album. All hitters, what a ride.

I can see why this sold so well. I enjoyed a decent bit but got tired of it in the later half. Rating: 3.9

überraschend gut

not a fan

Amazing álbum

Some bangers, some not so much.

Growing up during this era, I was never the biggest fan of her music so I really did not expect this album to slap as hard as it did. Packed with hits I remember from my past and a wide range of emotion tones. This album surprised me. I don’t think I’ll listen to it more as a result of this listen but when a song comes on, I’ll have a much better appreciation for the complete album.

Another iconic voice, but this one feels jagged to me. Inspired by Joni Mitchell?, and sometimes it’s catchy, but overall I find it shrill. Hand in my pocket is still a hit, makes you wonder what your other hand would be doing? And that’s different in any given moment; the same hand will throw a middle finger and a peace sign and a high five and just be smoking that cigarette.

Her voice is annoying to me. Didn’t enjoy this at all.

I owned this album but haven’t listened for ages so was looking forward to revisiting. I remembered that the singles banged but didn’t remember anything else about the other tracks. The album opens strongly full of rage and noise, but that disappeared on track 3 (Perfect) where she tried a sugary sweet ballad that was rubbish. She’s much better when she’s activated her angry bitch mode. ‘You Oughta Know’ is the stand out track for me - love that bass! ‘Mary Jane’ was the nice surprise for me - didn’t remember it at all… not angry bitch mode but she delivers it much better than some of the other slower tracks. A mid range 3 rating for a nice reminiscence.

Another female artist who is okish. I do own this, but bought for a fraction of the original asking price, as I wouldn't ever have paid full price for this at the time. The downside of this album is it is a polished plastic rock effort, made to sell millions. The upside is that although she is unintelligible at times, she sounds so pissed off and full of emotion. Which makes you think it wasn't as cynical a cash maker as it first seems. (Oh I've just discovered that all the lyrics are printed in the booklet! A good move). So its a tricky one to rate. I have always loved 'The cross-eyed bear' song, Taylor was a good student! A low 3.

Several bangers. High degree of nostalgic enjoyment, but a great example of a category I don't love.

cool

I little whiny in a good way, really emotes that grungier rock of the 90s.

Much more solid of an album than I remember. I remember my sister had this album and played the shit out of it in the mid 90's. I hated it at that time, but it's actually really good. Now that I haven't heard any of these songs for 15-20 years, I can actually enjoy them. So many of her hits came from this one album. Ironic, You Oughta Know, You Learn, Head Over Feet, Hand In My Pocket... Favourite songs: Ironic, You Oughta Know, Head Over Feet, You Learn, Hand in My Pocket, Right Through You Least favourite songs: Perfect 4/5

Absolutely iconic. The soundtrack of the 90s. Raw, emotional, and so honest, and it still hits even now.

Have always liked her voice. Never heard any other songs by her except the two on this album.

Appreciative but not really my style of music

This album deserves its name. It's hard to take.

This is the sound of my youth. I have loved this album from the first time I heard it. Alanis really seemed to get me with her angst, even though some of the life experiences she sang about were foreign to me.

I had not heard this album before but I had heard of Alanis Morissette’s name. This album was shockingly good! I did not like the first track at all (All I Really Want) but after that I was thoroughly enjoying the album. My favourite song was: You Oughta Know. I even found myself recognizing a couple songs that I had no idea were from this artist, those were: Hand in my Pocket, and Ironic. I will listen to this album again!

Jeremy: “YEU YEU YEU… oughta KNOOO”. Queen of the 90s. Easy 5 stars. Ana: Yeah it’s really good, I felt really still then really surprised. Her voice is awesome so good actually. Papa it’s about feelings! I feel it!

This album is honestly incredible. Confessional style, super relatable. It's no wonder it became a hit. Didn't start the style (after Liz Phair, Melissa Etheridge) but definitely perfected it. This is a style of songwriting at it's best and there are like 100 hits on this shit.

Alannis seems to have had some bad relationship experiences, and I'm not 100% surprised - it sounds like she would be a bloody nightmare 🤣. Overall an OK listen and some good tracks but a bit angry & shrill so won't be rushing back to it!!

I forgot how great this album was! Every song is great!

The best female rage album

I see the artistic value, but ultimately misses the mark. And the song "ironic" isn't ironic, it's just unfortunate.

Lots of screaming

Absolutely love this album, I played it to death when it came out.

Too smooth for my tastes

Didn’t make it through.

Really like the 90s instrumental sound. Very unique vocal style. "You oughta know" is a great song. The rest of the album is okay, but not my favourite. Good songwriting too actually, definitely a better 90s album to me than "Goo" by sonic youth.

cool beat on All I really want, the monotone delivery in the vocals is interesting, don't know though, if it's exactly what I like, the weird almost voice cracks are a bold choice, definitely a memorable voice, again not really what I enjoy, You oughta know has an excellent bouncy bass line, generally really high energy throughout the whole record

Es gibt Alben, die muss man einfach lieben. Jagged Little Pill gehört für sehr viele Menschen dazu. Für mich nicht. In "All I really know" hört sich die gute Dame so an, wie eine Schülerin, die auf einem Schulkonzert zeigen will, wie variabel und frech ihre Stimme sein kann. Schreckt mich als Intro eher ab. Zieht sich insgesamt für mich leider etwas durchs Album. Die Hits kannte ich schon, finde sie auch ganz nett aber auch nicht megamäßig.. Aber ich habe ein weiteres Album kennengelernt und fand es deutlich besser als Bongo-Experimente oder LSD-Trip-Geschrammel. Außerdem mag ich die 90s insgesamt und die hört man total aus dem Album raus bzw. hat das Album die Musik-Radio-90s sicherlich mitgeprägt. "Right through you" finde ich ganz cool, weiß aber nicht, woher ich das vorher schon kannte (hatte gedacht, dass das mit der größte Hit sein müsste, was die Streamzahlen aber nicht vermuten lassen). "Ironic" ist natürlich ein absoluter Banger! Wirklich Knallersong! Insgesamt reicht es aber nur für gute 3 Sterne.

- Was ein geiles Album! - Wir hatten die CD damals bei uns zuhause rumfliegen. Entsprechend kannte ich viele Songs noch - hatte sie aber viele viele Jahre nicht mehr gehört. - Einfach ein sehr eigener geiler und warmer Sound. Irgendwie rockig, poppig, hier funkig, da grungig, dann mal wieder ruhig. - Dass Flea (RHCP) und Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction, RHCP) mitgewirkt haben ist definitiv und eindeutig rauszuhören. - Man kann sich an Alanis Morissetts Gesang definitiv aufreiben, ich finds aber einfach geil und mit einer sehr eigenen Handschrift ausgestattet. Dieser Wechsel zwischen Brust und Kopfstimme kann was weinerliches haben, aber auch was sehr geil freches - So viele großartige Songs wechseln sich mit dem ein oder anderen absoluten Welthit ab. - Mein "Geheimtipp": "Right Through You" -> extremes Brett, erinnert sehr an einige Pearl Jam Tracks aus der Zeit. - Flashback gelungen! Einfach eine fette Platte mit unheimlich viel Punch. Meine Plattensammlung ruft grad ganz laut JAGGED LITTLE PILL!! Rating: 4,5-4,75

- ich liebe einfach dieses Album und ärgere mich jedes mal, das ausgerechnet der erste Track der "schwächste" des Albums ist - von da an ist es eine rotzige, charaktervolle und bewegende Reise durch die Gefühlswelt einer jungen Frau der 90er. Frustration, Wut, weibliche Sexualität, männliche Ausbeutung, Depressionen und viele weitere auch noch (oder vor allem) heute aktueller Themen. - Stilistisch irgendwie Grunge, Pop-Rock, Alternative, Balladen aber nie out of place und immer einfallsreich. Reiht sich für mich persönlich mit Nirvana, Pearl Jam und die Cranberries ein. Prägend für viele Bands der späten 90er und frühen 2000er (Ohne Sie hätte es z.B. Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Grace Mitchell oder Kelly Clarkson nie gegeben) in der Form Für mich geht jeder Song (außer wie gesagt der Erste) ins Ohr und ich höre mindestens die Hälfte des Albums regelmäßig. - Ihre Stimme muss man mögen; ich mag sie. 4,75/5

Puh.. irgendwie habe ich mich schwergetan dieses Album durchzuhören. Es hat mich einfach nicht abgeholt und auch die Hits (die ich natürlich schon mal gehört habe), haben mich noch nie wirklich überzeugt. Das Album war insgesamt nicht so schlimm wie einige andere Alben, die bisher dran waren, aber es reicht dann trotzdem nur für ein Rating von 2 / 5.

Not so bad. Pure 90´s sound. A singer´s monologue, songs sound are nostalgic but one or two with a punch of energy.

I remember when this came out, I had it on repeat and knew all the words. Was so different from all the other stuff out there and loved the angsty vibe

Not at groundbreaking as when I heard it the first time in the 90’s. She was young. And pissed!

Did not like

Great album. The anger of the 90s lives in this album and has so many memorable songs.

I get it. Women are cool and have feelings and desires too.

Starts off with two undeniable bangers before settling into middling territory. All of the singles are good to great, but the rest of the album features a lot of mid-tempo ballads that didn't connect for me. "Not the Doctor" was the underrated gem.

This was a great album for me to kick off this project. I was 7-8 years old when it came out. I was not allowed to listen to “secular” music, but somehow my older sister snuck this one in, until my mom heard the word “fuck” on You Oughta Know. I wasn’t old enough to understand most of the lyrics at the time but looking back, I think this album was probably my first rebellious experience through music. Today I found myself singing along with lyrics I haven’t listened to in years. Just had another memory: I would lay by the stereo while listening to this album following along to the lyrics printed in the CD sleeve, and would hit the mute button anytime a curse word came up, so my mom wouldn’t question what I was listening to.

A powerful Album, its still one of my favorit albums. You don't get bored listening to it.

Everyone “Oughta Know” about this album. I’m “Head Over Feet” feet over this album without the help of “Mary Jane”. It’s a little “Ironic” don’t ya think?

Really excellent piece of work from the 90s. Iconic, ironically.

This is one of my top 50 records of all time. It starts so strong and never let's up on hits. Love the 90s feminist angst. Cheesy at points for sure, but sincere and fun. Also I think this every time: I can hear the influence on Evanescence in Forgiven. Is she perverted like me? Will she go down on you in a theater?

I've heard a few before. Not really my style

Enjoyed this- interesting lyrics but also good background

Eh. 3/5

It might be because i grew up during the 00s and didn't like pop music that much. This to me peak late 90s - early 00s boring pop. Not bad, just middle of the road in all aspect which you probably would hear in a 00s movie. The vocals are going out of tune but not too much. Just enough to give that certain vibe of punk rock but the music is not hard enough to be Punk. Sometimes accompanied by the cheesy 90s drum machine drumbeat and phase guitar that become overplayed by mid 00s. It really feels nostalgic to me, but boring. I enjoyed the less famous tracks than those i heard on the radio 1 billion times growing up.

i liked the album quite a bit but no songs beyong the six (6!) singles and the bonus track really stood out to me. loved the lyrics and her vocals. "All I Really Want" has always been my favorite song of hers and it opens the album so strong. I cannot decide between 4 and 5 stars.

There's not really much that moved me outside of the singles (BUT THE SINGLES ARE ALL TIMERS)

This is definitely an album I need to be in a specific mood to enjoy, and I wasn't in that mood but I can appreciate its merits. It was nice to revisit some songs that I don't hear often, I especially love Not the Doctor.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, so there is no hesitation in my rating it 5 stars. The songwriting >>>>, the authentic quality of her voice >>>. Every song is great, but “Forgiven” gives me chills every time. Ugh, I love this album.

Hell yeah

no notes! best cassette I probably ever bought!

I went into this thinking I was going to dislike it. However I found it to be highly enjoyable, if a bit uneven. Well worth a listen.

Solid throughout, good lyrics. Very 90s Standout songs: All I really want, forgiven

Iconic indded!

Love HER

This was the soundtrack to my 95. 95 & 96 actually. Unstoppable

Un álbum imprescindible para entender el sonido que caracterizó a las artistas alternativas de mitades de los '90s. Con un sonido sumamente distinguible, la artista se establece como una de las figuras más importantes del pop rock suave con este trabajo.

Empowering, independent

Hell of a classic to me. This album has exactly my age and listening completely for the first time ever was cool. Never liked Alanis very much, but this one is a banger 4/5

Not bad. Bit bonkers

Classic album. Alanis is THAT girl. 💁🏾‍♀️

Not my kind of music, even if ironic is iconic

For the year or two after this was released it felt like we could hear the whole album on the radio, so I never bothered listening to the whole thing. But there are quite a few songs that weren't singles that are pretty good. She definitely shook things up back then. Just not the sort of thing I listen to a lot. And the way her voice cracks or whatever as she's catching her breath after a line gets old.

oh fuck yeah so angsty and feminine and 90s, i love this shit “are you thinking of me when you fuck her” killed me

All I really want : chanson de teen movie de 1998-2003 Le reste j'ai pas écouté j'étais au travail j'étais a Noël aaaaah j'écouterais plus tard

C'était cool. Le nom me disait un truc donc j'attendais d'entendre les chansons que je connaissais, sans vraiment savoir ce que ça allait être.

So many good songs on this album.

Some classics

Iconic

It’s like rain

Great stuff

3.5

Neke nisu lose.

Esta bien, buen complemento para el documental Jagged

Conocía 2 canciones, pero el resto son similares así que me ha molado mucho. Musiquita noventera top

Viele bekannte Songs, coole Stimme, gutes Rockalbum

Raw, mid-90s energy. A lot of the album really holds up well, due largely to the unique vocal style that lingers somewhere between singer-songwriter and grunge. It does lag a little here and there but the singles are very strong.

Peak Toyota Corolla Music, and I'm finally saying that not as a diss. This is the masterwork that every other album in the genre aspires to be, and its quality will probably never be surpassed. The savior of CD-case browsers everywhere, as it bangs and you already know it's gonna be in there before you even open it.

On every CD shelf of the 90s. Excellent album.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this album.

Just a great album, not sure how the singles became the singles as I prefer a lot of the album tracks but even having it on in the background it keeps pulling you back in

This is an album I've been meaning to listen to for a long time. I'm so glad I did! Incredible impeccable alt rock. I love this genre and this is a top 5 album within it.

She's one of the best!

Nope

I'd like to listen to music not whining

🖤

rough singing

not as good as I remember...

4/5. A great collection of grunge and pop and although her voice can be a little jarring at first with the cracks and nasally whines, it's what makes this better. Like she is mocking the genre while also shining through it. Some of the energy gets lost later in the album but these are just well-written songs at the end of the day. I enjoyed this one despite the precedence I've had from society telling me I shouldn't like it. Love breaking those norms.

1 super single, 2 singles and 9 filler. Its the blue print for B-List 90s rock albums!

As a Canadian alt-rock lover, this album is a very important document in our cultural history. It's very mid-90s, but it contains more than a few classic tracks and a buttload of energy. A refreshing approach to the breakup album -- not heartbreak but pure rage -- this is a true rocker. Emotion flows through every song. "Ironic" is sorta dumb, and has been extremely overplayed, but it's still not a skip. This is a super fun listen (with a few forgettable tracks scattered through it).

I'd never go to bat for her vocals but god damn this album has some bangers.

Moyen, j'aime vite fait forgiven et you oughta know mais sinon bof bof 2.5

One of the best pop records of the 90s I guess. Bit it sounds too indifferent after a while

Hall of Fame

One of the greats. I liked every song but 1. Very playable enjoyable album. WOW

Perfect. Michael lives forever

Some good songs on here

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? IT FIGURES.

Did not enjoy at all

This albums face slaps me straight to the childhood, watching Charmed on TV after school. Very first song I heard from this was You Oughta Know on a singing competition. While barely speaking any English or picking up lyrics I still remember how much I was affected by the strength of that songs. This song is soaked up with raw emotions which are communicated so clear without even needing to speak English to understand.

One of my favourite albums. Stephanie and I used to listen to it in the car in our early days. Alanis is up there with Björk, Kate Bush, Paula Cole, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell - artists in music. Never careless filler - always an impetus.

Musically, I don't mind this. I like hearing some of the singles. It makes me think of watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can imagine Alanis playing at The Bronze whilst Angel and Buffy are having a heart to heart about something angst-y. In fact, that probably happened. However, I don't really like her voice. There's a bit too much of the "yelping" that makes me allergic to The Cranberries. Also, I don't really like her turn of phrase. Millions of hack comedians have done routines about they events depicted in "Ironic" not actually being ironic.* But I also find the phrase "falling head over feet" particularly irksome. I know it's done deliberately but I hate it. On the other hand, I found some of the meaning of her lyrics quite interesting, especially as I know she went on to have an advice column in The Guardian! On the whole it was quite nice to hear the hits again but there were a few songs such as "Forgiven" and "Mary Jane" that were hard to sit through. I was quite pleased that I had the self control to stop myself hitting the skip button! Not something I'd revisit but I've heard it now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *This is an exaggeration on my part. It wasn't millions and they weren't all hacks. But still... it was too many!

I enjoyed this. It's held up well, I reckon. First listen, for me.

Alanis seems to like analogies and juxtapositions. Heard this a lot when it was first released almost to a point of overplay, but with distance it’s still a good album. Never knew till now that Flea played on one of the tracks.

Like a death row hard-on, two minutes too late

Washington

Bangers throughout she’s my queen 10/10 5/5

Preteen me was obsessed with this. One of those albums that's hard to judge objectively because of nostalgia, but still really enjoy listening to it.

Full of bops with some clever lyrics about love and heartbreak. An album that took us by surprise: would listen again.

Classic.

A Classic one, by far Alanis best, full rock at his best.

Enjoyed a few songs, but I couldn't find it in myself to enjoy the vocals. I see where the hype is and I see some talent behind the album, but I found myself wanting to take my headphones out for a majority of the album.

FUCKING FANTASTIC

Con un rock pop noventero, un par de himnos y alaridos afinados Morissette hace un disco upbeat, que dan ganas de cantarlo

A bit sappy, but a Blunt take on life

Bisschen langweilig. Sehr ruhige Musik, vielleicht Richtung indie

I'll admit, I've never been an Alanis Morrissette fan. I avoided Jagged Little Pill, though it's almost impossible not to hear songs from the record on the radio airwaves back in the day and it seems to be as popular as ever now with the seemingly endless editions of the album she's continues to rehash. The album has been through the now standard (every 10 year) anniversary treatment with remastering, 2 disc and 4 disc versions and "collector's edition, along with an acoustic version of the album. Though she has released several other albums, Alanis has continued to milk her "one-hit album" success with a stage adaptation of the record. this has been running for the past 5 years and passed through our city last month which you can be a assured I did NOT attend. Oh, the music from Jagged Little Pill is probably considered an essential listen and continues a streak of "great" and popular Canadian female singers in the past 30 years (Celine, Avril, Shania, Nelly, K. D. ...), so it's place on this list is hard to dispute.

Really good album, obviously a well known classic and can see why it made her huge.

Well, I remember this one being a big deal at the time. The thing is, young ones, back then our options to listening to a record were a bit scarce. You could buy it or borrow it from someone. I listened to the ones that were on the radio and, although they didn't bother me, I was also not really thrilled to go after the album and see why there was such a hype around it. And now, almost 30 years later, here I am, listening to the whole thing for the first time ever. And boy, it's dated as fuck. But it's also quite good! Her voice is powerful, most of the lyrics are great and it reeks as mid-90s, which is a basilar part of it being dated, but also checks my nostalgia boxes perfectly. I'm glad I finally got to hear it. =)

2 - I always found Ironic to be annoying, but I don't mind Head Over Feet. I wasn't expecting much from the album. It would probably be a 1.5 if Head Over Feet wasn't on here. I don't hate it, but it was a tad annoying here and there. Also, two of the same track on here wasn't great and I didn't really like the attached bonus track either. Meh.

top dan za alanis

Some really catchy songs, not much filler. Good vocals.

Whole album is excellent!

This album could be 10 times better if it was mixed better. I started by listening to the remaster and the mix was dreadful, but the original version wasn’t much better. It just feels a little base, they need to center the mix on Alanis’ powerful vocals and give the drums more of a presence. The other criticism I would levy is that the songs can be a bit difficult to distinguish because their style is a bit repetitive. Otherwise, the songs are quite good. I’m impressed by how many of her hits (most of them) come from this album alone. Through this album Alanis Morrisette paints a mundane, but enchanting, portrait which I found quite enjoyable, despite some missteps. 7/10

Not bad. Couple of good pop bangers.

Honestly, this shit slaps... Great album

A tremendous album—at times angsty (“You Oughta Know”), wryly humorous (“Ironic”), and heartbreaking (“Mary Jane”). So many iconic tracks. A truly iconic albums of the nineties that really defines the sound of that era. It reminds me of a favorite album of mine from the 80s: Tracy Chapman’s debut album. This feels like the 90s equivalent, replacing the folky sensibilities for a post-grunge rock sound. It’s the gripping lyrics and unforgettable hooks. And though occasionally I can find Alanis Morissette’s vocals slightly grating, this is undeniably a stellar album.

Songs aren’t bad. Singing is dreadful

1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 (9/8) chords, 10, 11

i feel empowered to go kick some ass and i aint gonna let no man get in my way. angry minge music. on the plus side, remember the 90s when you got more than 2 singles out of an album? that was a good thing.

Jagged Little Phil Jagielka

Ja leuk!

Great album, sharp lyrics!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA3dzBrXYtc

No special album, in my view too much ''Tschatsch Musik'' which makes me nervous sometimes. Nevertheless, Alanis voice is good and ''Ironic'' and ''You Oughta Know'' were my favorites because i knew this songs. I hope, dass die Alanis nit alan is. 2.8

3+ war gut zu hören, aber nichts ausgewöhnliches

One of the most popular song of her is „Ironic“. Love hery voice and her lyrics. Her song „Thank U“ which is not on the album is also good! Personal top3 in no order: Forgiven You Learn Ironic

Manche Lieder kommen mir irgendwie bekannt vor, konnte mich aber noch nicht so damit anfreunden. Oft finde ich die Stimmfarbe ein wenig anstrengend. 4.1/10

It doesn't get more 90s than Alanis Morisette. Actually, I only knew "Hand in my pocket". Finally got to know the other songs, which are some mediocre pop-rock songs. Her voice is very recognizable, so take that away and they could've been P!nk or Avril Lavigne songs.

Acoustic version of this album is my favorite. Best songs: You Oughta Know (original version is the best because it sounds the most like an angry, spun up, jaded ex exploding into a soapbox rant—we’ve all been there and hating on your ex and being angry that they are happy and over you is not a fun thought so hence this rage song). Favorite first listen: Mary Jane. Reminds me of Sarah ar Eagle Outllok today. wondering if she is feeling any of this. i wish i could send this but i think it might be censored because of the title. But if you put the name Sarah in place of MJ, that is what I imagine she has experienced these last few months.

This was my favorite LP in the first half of 2016, while I was still a university student. After years, there are half of the tracks continues being loved, while other half are not. Fav Track: All I Really Want

Perfect.

Some well known tunes in here, not my bag though

3/5 - can't quite decide how much I like it but I did enjoy it

I liked the music in this and the lyrics were ok, I thought this might score as much as a 4 but past the halfway point the singing really started to grate on me. Solid 3.

I remember when this album came out and Alanis was EVERYWHERE but this was actually my first time listening to this whole album. A solid album; You Oughta Know and Ironic are the stand outs.

22/100

Decent album, brings back some memories from middle school days, but not something I need to listen to often in the future

When Ironic hit, I was like this is ironic that I didn't enjoy this album until now huh

This is one of my favorite albums. The music is my kind of 90's alt rock with sharp lyrics. Despite her voice not being able to hit all the right notes (All I Really Want), she still pushes herself, creating a very earnest and slightly unhinged recording that lends itself to the subject matter. But then on tracks like 'Mary Jane', her voice soars, proving her control over her artistic vision. Best Songs: Every Track, No Skips Listen Again: Already Owned

Absolute banger 🔥

I don't like human voice sorry

Seems ok

Iconic album that lets you feel the emotions poured into it.

very 90s

Not overly drawn in by this one. I like the hits as I've heard them before but the songs inbetween fall short Also the production style in most of the songs make it seem like the instrumentation takes a backseat to her vocals, despite there being some great instrumentation. The mixing has Alanis at the forefront of everything, which makes it sound separated

Absolutely legend. 90s in the best way possible.

It’s so 90s, so angsty, but so artistically inspired at moments that I can’t shrug it off as just another bland 90s rock album. Checked out the acoustic version and liked it even better.

So good. Brought back memories and just generally slaps. There’s merit to whether some songs dip the quality but this is a classic!

Her vocals irk me at points, but I can’t deny how many good songs this album has.

I found her voice a little annoying.

Recognised a lot of the songs on this one

nniiiin hyvä ja nii monta bängeriä en kykene!! täydellinen struttaus levy 🤌🏻🤌🏻 alaniksen ääni on myös vitun smash

What’s left of my early teen misogyny really wanted to dislike this, and dismiss it like I did when I was thirteen and it was inescapable. But it’s too funny, surprising, smart, feisty, and strong to be swept aside. And far too Dylanesque.

All the songs from the radio / MTV / VH1 are pretty good. The rest are pretty boring. I didn't get Alanis back in the day, I guess I still don't.

This feels like quintessential 90s music. I went in expecting to know Ironic best but realized I knew You Oughta Know more (and enjoy it a lot). Overall it was a solid album.

Great album. No soft spots.

Really good

What the fuck. Every song was weird but I felt like I recognized all of them. They do come together well as an album but I can't imagine unironically listening to that.

She has a nice voice. Throw some auto tune on that shit and she’d go crazy if she was apart of the black eyed peas a couple years later. Overall the albums is whatever, this is like a “oh my mom loves Alanis Morissette” typa artists. Ironic and you oughta know are hood classics. I could definitely see this as a favorite artist for weird teenage girls.

Great voice, a little bit “whiny”. I would describe this as mom music.

A classic. Feels like THE 90s grunge/alt album, it just has so much nostalgia. She has such a unique voice and style that cannot be replicated. Best songs are perfect, hand in my pocket, you oughta know (of course), and all I really want.

This shit slaps
