Jagged Little Pill

Hasn’t stood the test time but was an enjoyable album when it came out.

I dunno. It's very 90s, it's very typical pop rock. Sounds like the soundtrack to some American teen drama breakup scenes. It's not bad, I suppose, it's just dated and basic. I get a sense that it was everywhere for a while then everyone just got sick of her and didn't care about a follow up. Her voice is pretty annoying. It's like she's trying too hard, but I get it was 1995. It's trying to be tomboy, but I can only see girly girls really liking it. For the modern day, it's crap.

A few big hits, but the rest of this was a hard listen.

I just can't. But You Oughta Know is my guilty pleasure.

Female forward sentiment and lyrics. Unfortunately not great execution.

Like a not as good paramore.

Catchy tunes, slightly annoying voice. An overproduced mess that somehow turns out to be enjoyable?

It’s like rain on your wedding day.

I swear I never owned this album yet all the songs are famillar in my head. Bet she gets fed up of all the emails and postcards challenging her, on her use of Irony. It's a difficult word to pin down, how does any one know the intentions of 1 million fucking forks! I don't even know what one fork wants, what its true design and purpose is, apparently you're meant to hold it upside down to stab rather than scoop, no idea why. Fine for sprouts terrible for rice!

Could this be any more.90s?

Pleasant enough but really not my thing.

Pretty good. Quite hippie

This is a strange one because I know basically all of these songs well and they have a very place specific memory (my orthodontists office), but I don't particularly like it. I kinda wish this went harder in the punk direction that it hints at

This morning I rolled up to my construction site bumping Alanis Morissette. This 1001 albums thing has me engaged in some odd behaviors. It was 6am, completely dark out, and I didn’t realize that the welding crew was already on site.

I just couldn’t get behind Morissette’s voice, which was clearly a big part of the album. Most of the songs themselves were fine and there’s a few hits on here that I recognizes, but the production was also so dated. Mary Jane was one of the songs I did like. Other than that, I personally did not enjoy listening to it, though I could easily understand why others would like this album.

I truly appreciate the artistry but I really can’t stand the music

Ingredients: Lyrics- Diary of a 15 yr old girl intoto tech theatre.   Rhythm- 90s producer who made a shit ton of money using the same drum machine. Melody: 15 yr old girls older sister who listens to the rent Cd over and over again. A dash of harmonica to make it alternative. =A ton of radio hits

I think the title of this record, Jagged Little Pill, must be referring to how hard getting used to her voice is - a hard pill to swallow. I think after having to endure a handful of taylor swift albums back-to-back, I'm very over this immature lyricism about jealousy over breakups. It's so tiring hearing the essentially same thing over and over again - "is she better than me", "does she do it like I did", "are you happy now", etc. Okay okay, in all seriousness though, the production on this album is better than TS and the lyricism a bit more reflective. Not that the rating of this record is related to TS' work, it's just somewhat similar conceptually and I've been listening to that recently. I think after the first 3 songs, the album gets a bit more consistent in quality. It's not great, but it's not as abrasive as the opening tracks... or maybe I've become numb to her voice! I think You Oughta Know and Ironic are the more radio-aimed tracks (i.e. more pop-influenced sound) of the release and are the least enjoyable parts of the album for me.

"Jagged Little Pill" was abrasive and almost painful on my ears. Apologies in advance for the lack of a proper term, but Morissette's vocals are extremely slutty and obnoxious. Additionally, despite her impressive vocal range, her voice is continuously monotone. At least Mariah Carey's vocals conveys emotion.

Overall just slightly too moody for me. I'd have to be in the right headspace, and even then a lot of the lyrics—while clearly heartfelt—are kind of corny and shallow. Although a couple of songs did resonate with me.

While I am aware of this album’s lasting influence, it all comes across as rather solipsistic and, dare I say, whiny. Plus the drums are horrible and it’s all a bit too AOR for me.

There a couple of obvious singles and I can see why it might have made an impression at the time, but her voice is like nails scraping down a blackboard and the lyrics are truly awful.

the ability to create absolute pop megahits in the middle of the headsplitting, earache swamp of songwriting and screaching is a feat in and of itself 10,000 spoons / 50,000 spoons

Not my kind of thang but at least she's Canadian

This brought on an existential crisis. How to review Alanis? Do I like it (no)? Does it hold up (no)? Is it meant to hold up (no)? Does it have the cultural significance to be on this list (yes)? Does it nail what it’s trying to do (yes)? Is it brave or clever to rip the shit out of it (no)? Is it better than Radiohead’s Amnesiac (no)?

Decent pop singer songwriter stuff. Not really my thing but some huge hits. Would have given it a neutral 3 stars except that her whiny nasal voice really started to grate by the end!

90’s eeeeeyaaaeeeyaaaaiiiiiieeeahhhh

Loved it in 1995, found it grating now. But ironic still hits. 2 stars.

Veldig 90s. Ikke helt min stil dette. Noen hits, da.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette (1995) her voice pisses me off I don’t like it at all 4/10.

2.2

Like being in an argument with someone who's taken notes for a few years.

esse é o álbum mais correspondente ao que a série friends seria se fosse um álbum (isso tá extremamente distante de um elogio) papo reto, saiu muita coisa boa dos anos 90, mas alanis morissette NÃO FOI uma delas

Meh

Pains me that an album with so much attitude has aged so poorly. Favorite tracks: You Oughta Know, Head Over Feet

The first two songs are very good, however, as the record goes on the album presents itself with generic and predictable chord progressions. This is all despite Alanis' charmingly abrasive and unique voice.

Iconic but ultimately not for me. Leans too heavily in the pop direction on the pop-alternative divide. “You Oughta Know” is an all time scorned lover banger though!

Its okey

I tried but what the fuck is she doing with her voice? This is so bad, her lyrics are straight trash as well.

Inte alls illa, men jag upplever att i denna genre finns så många och det sticker inte ut eller gör mig intresserad.

am ascultat nu imi place nu il mai ascult o data sorry

I hate to say it. It's just not my jam...

Quite gnarly and grating as a vocalist, at least on record. Sounds like a cross between Eddie Vedder and the mum from Malcolm In The Middle. A couple of top class songs but also a lot of average. Plus very dated 90s production. Ragged little 2.5

Her whiny voice just isn't for me. LOL and there's a harmonica? What is this? Love me do? No.

Jag avskydde den när den kom, tyckte den profiterade på annat "kvinnligt alternativt" som jag gillade. Idag har jag förlikat mig med den, kan t.o.m. bli glad när nån låt dyker upp på radion eller nånstans. Men ett helt album orkar man förstås inte med. Den fanns i varenda gymnasieflickrum man lyckades få tillträde till och jag tror hon har betytt en del för vår generations kvinnor och det är svårt att särskilja den biten från musiken. Det låter alternativt 90tal, spretigt och radiourvattnat i nån märklig linsgryta man inte blir riktigt klok på. Några av singlarna är riktigt bra ögonblicksradiopop (Head over heels, You learn, Hand in my pocket) medan en del rockigare saker faller oerhört platt. Som tidsmarkör och generationspamflett har den en poäng eller två. Som musikakiskt verk är den däremot tämligen menlös. Tvåa som lutar neråt. Lyssna också på The Juliana Hatfield Three - Become what you are, Heather Nova - Oyster, Marit Bergman - 3.00 A.M. serenades

some bangers, but feels very of the 90's

maybe a little earlier in life

I don’t remember her voice being this grating. Production suffers as a product of the mid 90s. Most lyrics are super facile and it’s not just Ironic. Not entirely useless given its part in the acceptance of women’s sexual agency, but I didn’t enjoy re-listening to this.

Meh

Great voice, mediocre songs

Dosta dosadan album realno. Outta know je legendarna stvar, ali ostalo je baš lejm. 2/5, 3.5/10

5/10 Dated and whiny. Forgiven almost saves it, but one really good track isn't enough to get over the annoying ones. And no, that's not in any way ironic. Highlight: Forgiven

177/1089 - This is extremely boring. She sounds like a female version of the Pixies singer which makes this worse. At least she's in tune, unlike the Pixies singer.

I haven't these songs since the 90s and didn't realize so many of these songs were hits back then.

Heard it before. This album is aggressively 90s in a nice way. Sadly, I've never enjoyed Alanis' voice, the only songs I like on the album are the ones where she sings more softly 2/5

not my vibe

Didn’t like it at the time and it hasn’t aged well

Alanis Morisset very much has her own sound, and it is really not my thing. For a couple of songs, she's pretty good. For an hour? Not as good.

Begint nie best. Paar van de meest onuitstaanbare vocal inflections ooit opgenomen. Zeer uniek though. Lyrics zijn dat ook, best wel lak aan rijmstructuren, en vaak onvoorspelbaar. Ik heb een zwak voor die trage early 90s drumcomputer beats met gitaren op You Learn / Ironic. Ironic is tevens nog steeds een absolute banger. 'Is dit wel hoe ironie werkt?' Who gives a shit. Beste: Perfect / You Learn / Ironic Minste: All I Really Want Albumhoes: 3/5

Op dit album staan natuurlijk twee bangers die iedereen kent. De andere nummers heb ik denk ik nog niet eerder gehoord. Ik denk dat veel mensen een haat-liefde verhouding met haar stem hebben. Zelf vind ik die prima om naar te luisteren, op een aantal zeurderige uithalen na. Het probleem is alleen dat ze deze best vaak doet. Ik wilde eigenlijk 3 sterren geven, maar nu ik nog even snel door wat nummers skip merk ik dat het album voor mij toch wat minder luisterwaardig is dan eerder gedacht. Shoutout naar Riko voor het attenderen op de mondharmonicas. Nu kan ik ze niet meer negeren. Thanks I hate it.

Dit album luisteren voelde een beetje als erachter komen dat een product uit een film toch wel echt bestaat en niet alleen voor de film ontworpen is. Ik luister nooit naar de radio dus was de hits van dit album compleet vergeten. Verder ook nooit de naam van deze artiest gehoord of geweten. De rest van het album doet erg weinig voor me en hoewel ze geen slechte stem heeft, vind ik het whine gehalte te hoog en die harmonica spelende kameel hadden ze beter in de woestijn kunnen laten.

90s Rock. Boring White people stuff.

Cheesy, seemingly passionate and overall tireing vocals, themed young woman angst making up one 90s Alternative Rock.

I was really expecting to hate this but it was nowhere near as bad as the hits I've heard a billion times over the years. Way better than Radiohead.

There are some classic 90's songs on here, however, there are a lot of songs that I don't care about. She does some strange things with her voice and I wish I liked it more than I do. 4/10

I appreciate the emotion and energy this has, but I just can't get past not really liking her voice, and the instrumentals are whatever for me. All I Really Want and Right Through You are pretty good.

So I knew of Hand in My Pocket, of course it’s a popular song, and I was like “oh I like this song this’ll be a good album.” But through listening to this album Morissettes voice got a little more shrill each track and I was thinking this is kinda eh. Then I got to the song I knew, and I realized after really listening that it’s actually ANNOYING! So unfortunately this album did the job of changing my mind and I was not exactly enjoying my time listening to it : Okay update (I wrote the previous without yet finishing the album) I did also know the song Ironic and I still do think it’s a good song, so that one did save it a bit.

I thought I would like this more than I did. Up through “Perfect,” all these songs were hitting me wrong. Her voice, the tone, the 90s-ess of it all. “Hand in my Pocket” felt a little better. I wasn’t expecting to love this, but it just didn’t hit me right. Her tone reminds me of someone who smirks and makes fun of everything I do: “Guess you sit at tables now.” **smirk, smirk chuckle** “Oh, okay, CAR DRIVER. Sure.” There are enjoyable moments.

Some good tracks. Some unpleasant sounds.

Inte för mig

I love the music, but absolutely hate her voice.

I saw someone on Musicboard describe this as the ultimate divorced mom music. Lol! And honestly, they’re not wrong. The lyrics are driven with angst, which fuels the vocal delivery. But if I’m being honest, this album kind of burned me out back in the 90s when it was getting played to death.

Not a huge Alanis fan (although I had an old boss who was, and it seemed out of tune with the rest of his personality). I think a lot of the songs are boring

Why did every woman in the 90s sing like this?

I remember this album. Not my type of female music

fav songs: --

N'étant pas une adolescente de 12 ans en 1995, ça m'a pas emballé.

I was certainly prepared to give this a go, and thought I might quite like it, but I have to say I found it rather grating. It doesn't help that she has pitch issues, particularly noticeable in the slower songs.

Aside from the 2 or 3 popular tracks on here, how did she get famous? Terrible “singing”, feel like she wanted to start yodeling at one point

1.5/5.0: Bad

From the first three songs I thought this would join Bjork in the one-star category. Saved by that one rly catchy song Ironically

jagged freaking crazy pill

not for me. Powerful voice used to only do one thing mainly. Couldn't get to the second half. The many singles are well done though

There's something fundamentally dishonest about this album of slickly produced pop tunes. It captured a moment in the 90s when girls could be angry, but Alanis never actually seemed angry. It was all a put-on. Alanis has a great voice and might have thrived as a singer-songwriter singing honest, heartfelt tunes, but instead the legacy is this. At the height of the "alternative music", borrowing heavily from Seattle sound, a Canadian pop teen and former television personality pretending to be tough and perverted.

Nah

Too pop. A couple absolute classic gems, but overall album not to personal taste.

Just wasn’t really my thing

OMG my son aged 22 had no idea who Alanis was and had never heard Ironic. Generation gap be still a real thing. Having said that, this was inescapable in the nineties and its pop-grunge stylings have not worn well. The banger-factor of the singles saves this from a one, but it's not really one of the 1001 best albums every made is it?

If only this album had decent vocals.

1.3 *

What is it about her voice that grates so much? The undulating, whiny nature to large portions of this make it hard work. Whenever I listen to Ironic, I can't help but be reminded by Ed Byrne's comedy bit about her being a 'moaning cow'. That 5 minute sketch watched again on YouTube was more enjoyable than the album listen-through for me

Her voice is cool, unique, and groundbreaking. Lyrics are full of teen angst. Absolutely nothing about the composition or arrangement is interesting.

Ok, so I probably listened to this in 1995 when it came out. And, of course I recognize and remember all the singles from the album. But, aside from the singles, it’s a very bland album. Not sure if it was just the remaster version, but the vocals seem very dry and up front more than I remember even the singles being.

another childhood classic. it’s really catchy, but in a “please get the fuck out of my brain” way. not really my thing but i can see why people love her music

standard mid 90s alt rock, the second song which is a single was reaaallly good but literally everything else was so basic i was praying for it to end soon… respectfully, this album sounds like a romcom and i hate romcoms so x

Okay, but not one for me

I felt really uncomfortable and didn't enjoy the vocals at all. And cringed at some lyrics. Also felt like I'm witnessing someone's mental breakdown and it's realllly bad

starej popik

Meh. I’m not an Alanis fan.

если бы была лаунж-версия с другим вокалом и без агрессивного саунда 90х, я бы с удовольствием вникла в нарратив перевернувшего жизни всех альбома. но слушать это ну так тяжело. кренберриз стайл йодль. жесть

Is fine.

Unique and captivating but not something I could listen to all the way thru...

Over-exposure in the 90s leading to my PTSD from her PTSD.

Ugh, not for me thanks. No mi gusta. Caterwaul. I mean, I'm sure Ms Morissette is a decent person. And fook me, this spawned a fair clutch of radio hits. I just find this record cloyingly produced, overly earnest, and bum-clenchingly emotive. Like a framed affirmation on a wine-mom's kitchen wall. Sorry not sorry; if you can't handle my reviews at their pettiest and shittiest, you don't deserve them waxing lyrical🫠

Staggered that this album was so popular, as it is tries and fails to be pop or alternative. Her voice ruins most of the promising songs, some saved by interesting lyrics.

Popified grunge at times, yarling 90s butt rock at others. She has an impressive voice, and the attitude is sure something. But for me, it often overplays its hand (re: the wailing at the end of “Perfect”). It has a place in the annals of my music history, but nothing I ever need to revisit, beyond when it dances by my ears in public.

Some of these songs were ok but overall I realise this is very much not my bag. I think overall the melody to singing ratio isn't high enough. The overall production sound is fine, and her voice is really good; I just don't think the songs themselves were enjoyable. I.e. if someone else recorded them with a different production style I still don't think I would like them. I did appreciate the lyrics of several of the songs though, and I feel if I had more time I might have really studied them and got a bit more out of the album. But after 1.5 listens, this isn't scoring well for me. Best songs: You Oughta Know Perfect (this had good lyrics!) Hand in my Pocket

Annoying voice. Absolutely can't understand how this is such a hit. Sounds like a girl who doesn't know how to sing tried to make a "How to sound like the 90's" album.

Youhuuow youhuow youhouuuuw

Ich schwöre da war 5mal derselbe Song drauf nur mit einem anderen Titel

1.9 This stayed out of the 1-star basement purely based on being CANCON and being familiar with the hits. The songs unknown to me were unlistenable. Ironically (see what I did there) this is one of my wifes favorite albums and she felt that it captures the angst of being a younger female

the production is not my cup of tea along with the vocals. sometimes they feel a little shrill. the production sometimes sounds like this 90s dated rap rock, hair metal type stuff. there were some standouts which i liked - you learn, hand in my pocket and not the doctor. the lyrics/writing is the best part of the record where Alanis really puts forth a lot of personality and energy. the choruses are decently catchy as well. it's a decent to a strong 5 for me.

Some bangers, but the songs are so stuck in the 90's. Her voice is not great, although it is recognizable...

Catchy but repetitive. Also. It was good for when I was young and dealing with breakups etc. Now I'm older and get a bit annoyed by what sounds like complaints.

The voice gets annoying over time.

Objectively, this is shit. Alanis' silly voice, the dated production, the often inane lyrics. It's basically music for people who have "Live, Laugh, Love" pictures on their walls. In very small doses, much like the music of William Shatner, I find Alanis Morissette so bad she's funny. It quickly wears off, but it's the only thing stopping this album from getting a one.

Honestly I think the whole album though is a little dated and I much preferred just listening to the singles I already knew and enjoyed. Its also sounds very dated. You Oughta Know is such a banger though.

I saw someone on Musicboard describe this as the ultimate divorced mom music. Lol! And honestly, they’re not wrong. The lyrics are driven with angst, which fuels the vocal delivery. But if I’m being honest, this album kind of burned me out back in the 90s when it was getting played to death.

This album is dated. The artwork, instrumentation, lyrics. Mid-90s commercial whine. Morissette's lyrics are whiny and vocals are grating. I can see why the only track worth (barely) listening to is Ironic. About 3/4 of the way through the album I questioned a lot of what I was listening to. It is probably the best example of mid-90s angst, commercial, radio friendly, popular music at the time. In my opinion, it's largely copy-and-paste. Oh the irony. Average at best.

Awful

I'm short but I'm healthy?? fr? bruh what are those lyrics. Man, the "Irony" was just...cringe af, wth. Ok, this is not my kind of song.

Da e greit, men litt irriterande i blant

I heard "Ironic" enough on the radio at my old job to make me want to tear my ears off, so this album has that going against it. Other than "Forgiven," I don't think there was a track that I greatly enjoyed despite really wanting to like this album.

I grew up in a house divided on this album: one parent liked it and one detested it. I rolled the dice and followed in the Alanis hater’s footsteps. This wasn’t without a good fight from the Alanis fan - we must’ve listened to this album quite a bit when I was young because I now know more of the songs than I thought I would. There’s some musical treats in the album but it’s all shrouded by her distracting (albeit unique) voice and 90s tone. Favorite song: Mary Jane (Giving a bit of Jeff Buckley vibes) Least favorite: Ironic (what’s ironic about it??) Knew beforehand? Apparently.

2,5

I get that this album was hugely significant when it came out. Songs are powerful, honest , vulnerable. It was a whole vibe in 1995. But it also hasn't aged very well. The production is muscular in a way that does not serve the songs. Lots of unfortunate post-grunge vibes.

I remember the radio playing some of these songs non-stop between 95-05. Couldn't stand it then, still don't enjoy them more today. I also remember that it was mostly enjoyed by the outdoors enthousiasts of that time, to which I couldn't relate less.

No in 95, NO in 2024.

I am never gonna love Alanis Morrisette... But there's a good song here and there - even though she almost all of the time sounds like a angry lady, who just got dumped.. A lesser talented, older version of Avril Lavigne even though they are not that similar.... But that's the wibe I get 2/5

Freshman year of college flashback! It’s honestly better than I remembered. She has a good voice but some of the lyrics are a little cringe worthy… I definitely remember making fun of the misuse of the word ironic.

Not bad but i don't like it and will never listed to it again

Joni Mitchell wannabe. And I fucking hate Joni Mitchell.

I’ve never been a fan but it’s not bad

not really my cup of tea. quite dated but i liked a couple of the songs and recognized a few so there's that. i dont think its terrible by any means but not my favorite.

Primer acercamiento a Alanis Morissette en formato LP. Jagged Little Pill es un trabajo muy interesante desde muchos aspectos. En primer lugar, es indiscutiblemente el trabajo más exitoso de la cantautora, tanto en números como en crítica (habiendo cosechado cuatro grammy's, entre los que encontramos el de Álbum del Año 1996). En segundo lugar, el sonido de este trabajo involucra una suma no menor de géneros: desde elementos de trip-hop hasta pinceladas de grunge, este disco crea su propio sonido sin perder su naturaleza pop. Habiendo destacado todos estas circunstancias, soy sincero diciendo que no encuentro ningún elemento que me haga volver a este trabajo. Tanto la voz de Alanis, la historia que imprime en cada canción o sus composiciones son cuestiones que no destacan por su originalidad y que podríamos encontrar en cualquier otro artista. Además, para bien o para mal, este trabajo es hijo de su tiempo y su sonido es la prueba clave de ello. En conclusión, no volvería a este trabajo. No obstante, si destaco su importancia en la fusión no convencional de géneros y el haber disparado la carrera de otras artistas femeninas dentro de la industria musical. FAVTRAXS: You Oughta Know, Forgiven LEASTFAV: Hand in My Pocket 2.5/5

This one is weird because it does deliver as an important album, I just don't carry the nostalgia factor for it. I also, realize I don't care for her vocal style which is very rough in places.

I can appreciate her edgy vocals and lyrics. I liked a few songs but for me - not enough to carry the album. Stylistically, I give her credit for some artistry but just not an album I’d want to sit back and listen to. Depressing lyrics, not much fun on the album. Not very uplifting.I recognize some talent, just not for me.

Ein paar der Lieder kann man durchaus als Klassiker sehen, aber mehrheitlich ist es einfach sehr klar 90er. Alanis Morissettes Stimme ist auch nicht, was ich eine Stunde lang hören möchte.

Weird one. A lot of the songs are familiar and are decent songs when you hear them individually. Listening to a full album tough, instills a deep hate for this woman in me.

As angsty as I remember, but much rougher as an album. A couple high points, but otherwise another one best left in the 90s.

I can accept the angst as part of the project, but the music was lackluster. Combined with uninspired lyrics, I suffered through this album.

It was cool just not for me

Not for me. I know it’s in the top 100 but just don’t like it.

That harmonica is whack

Famous songs from my childhood that don't sound good anymore. Kinda sad, really.

This album was commercially successful to a fault, leading to me today finding this extremely obnoxious and repetitive. Would I have thought that were these my first time hesring half of these songs? Maybe not, as I suppose her voice is interesting enough, and it's predictable but standable 90s rock, which I generally don't have a problem with. However, we don't live in that world, and instead all of these songs bleed the exact same "girl power" energy, leading to absolutely no difference between each one, and at nearly an hour long, with even a duplicate song closing, it's at nauseum. I have no problem with empowering albums, and if this is the one for you, that's awesome, but this comes off like the most commercial form of it. A "girl's world" t-shirt. An Avengers Endgame shot. It's just so bland, and feels like something to strike just the right chord, appeal to everyone, and make a bajillion dollars. I guess that's the best thing you can do in this world, is stick it to the man and prove these kinds of songs can be big hits, but when four or so of them still play on the alt-rock radio into the 2020s, it's hard not to get sick of it. The deep cuts aren't much better, some of them are even worse, I'd say, but I guess at least they were new to me, and I'll probably never think about them again. It's not the worst thing I've heard, but I was some form of exhausted by the end. Disappointed that the deep cuts didn't prove my prior notions wrong, but at least I don't have to be one of those people obnoxiously saying "the deep cuts are better!" every time one of these songs come on. That may be more annoying than the album itself, I'm sure.

Alanis is one of those artists I’ve been meaning to listen to for a while, because she has a lot of hype. And honestly, I don’t think I get it. I knew more then I expected, “Hand in my pocket”, “you oughta know” and “you learn”, and those songs are good. But GOOD LORD SHE IS SO WHINY!!!

I could see this being “cool” just when it came out just because she’s being kinda edgy and her lyrics are scandalous but dear god her voice is pretty terrible at times. For some reason during the choruses it’s not too bad and on the verge of good but during the verses there were times that it was fingernails on a chalkboard.

You Oughta Know //

This is the first album on this list I could not finish. Lyrically there’s lots to unravel and that carries the two stars, however alanis seems to have a voice that was genetically engineered to hurt my ears. I genuinely could not stand a single vocal, I actually think the opening track might be the most difficult to listen to thing I’ve ever heard, topped with the nauseating y2k sounding production (it was made in 1995, so was actually progressive) and this is my most difficult listen so far, genuine musical marmite.

I enjoyed it! Her vocals are very familiar to me but idk why😭 good songs

songs that got added to a playlist 😂 all i really want- 8/10 lowkey a banger mary jane- 7/10 you learn- 8/10 really needed this song in the moment. overall album- 7/10 some of the songs i really liked, but they all sounded kinda similar to me, and very melancholy and i tend to enjoy more upbeat music.

Some nice

My love. Favourite

Ja ne, brauch ich net unbedingt. 2-3

God only knows how many copies of this I sold when I was working at the record store, and I scorned every buyer, as is the record store clerk's wont, if not their duty. I hated the sound of it then and it hasn't grown on me. I do appreciate Alanis's humor elsewhere. For example: https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/weird-al-yankovic-tells-alanis-morissette-stay-in-lane-after-singer-tweets-pun-iconic-90s-hit

Yeah, idk

I cannot stand this woman’s voice. This is not for me.

The singles are still great, the rest not so much. Maybe 2.5

Nope.. Don't like the vocals especially.

Fun to listen while driving.

Alanis Morissette is well known to anyone who had to endure mainstream radio stations. Is the album as good as one of the single which was - to be fair - quite all right? Nah. To me it was just background noise and more an artifact of the time it was made in than music I would listen to in my free time.

Ik moet toegeven dat ik bij het allereeste nummer al verdomd klaar ben met het accentje en dat constante gesnik van dr. Ja leuk, Oughtta Know, lekker nummertje opzich. Maar niet de HELE tijd dat gejank en gesnik. Sorry maar het werkt echt op mijn zenuwen. Mom-rock ten top. Oke... hand in my pocket is ook best lekker. Stiekem. En Ironic is ook wel te pruimen. En het is misschien ook wel best bijzonder dat Morissette zo'n 10 jaar eerder was dan de Swifts, Lavignes en Perries van deze wereld. Verder is het gewoonweg niet my cup of tea. Rating: 6,5/10 Highlights: Hand in my pocket, Ironic, Oughtta know

Mijn categorisatie van Alanis in het griezelige gezelschap van Ilse en Anouk was misschien een beetje voorbarig, en het album is in ieder geval een stuk volwassener en muzikaler dan dat van - hoe heet dat wicht ook alweer - Aimee. Vind de vocale variatie wel sterk, waar heel veel nummers beginnen in de rustige akoestische stijl van haar landgenoot - en hoogstwaarschijnlijk inspirator - Joni Mitchell, transformeert haar stem langzaam in dat van haar tijdsgenoot Sinéad O'Connor. Dat rauwe randje in de refreinen is onmiskenbaar. Ik weet het, je moet niet altijd iedereen met andere artiesten vergelijken, maar hier kon je niet omheen. Het probleem voor Alanis is dat én Joni Mitchell én Sinéad het beiden veel beter deden dan dat zij het doet, en dat dit album niet echt overloopt van de interessante nummers. Het is geen slechte pop rock, maar het is zo volgepompt met de clichématige elementen kenmerkend voor de jaren 90. Begrijp me niet verkeerd, de 90s maken kans om mijn favoriete muziekdecennium te zijn, maar waarom moet bijna alles een beetje edgy Nirvana-esque klinken? Het resultaat is dat deze plaat zich niet onderscheid van de meeste tijdgenoten, iets waar ik altijd wel naar op zoek ben in een album. Moet wel toegeven dat 'You Oughta Know' en vooral 'Ironic' belachelijke earworms zijn, en dat ik ze hoogstwaarschijnlijk vanavond onder de douche ga meeschreeuwen. 6/10 Highlights: You Oughta Know Ironic

Ondanks de doodwens van Floris aan het adres van Alanis wilde ik het album niet te pessimistisch in gaan. Ja tuurlijk krijg ook ik hier Anouk-vibes van, maar laten we nou even kijken of we hier toch iets positiefs van weten te maken. Waarschijnlijk is het een stukje nostalgie, maar ik ga vaak wel lekker op de pop-rock sound van de jaren 90. Ik zal dan ook eerlijk bekennen af en toe nog weleens een plaat van the Counting Crows op te zetten. Mijn vader luisterde veel naar de band Live en ook artiesten als David Gray en Supergrass schuw ik niet. In al deze muziek zit een nineties-element dat ik ook terughoor bij Alanis? Guilty? Jagged Little Pill is voor mij op het randje. Er zitten nummers bij die er in gaan als zoete koek, andere songs vallen de verkeerde kant uit. Ik vind You Oughta Know een goede plaat en kon ook genieten van het wat langzamere Mary Jane. Ironic vind ik wel irritant en te poppy. Zo zitten er nog wat vervelende nummers in. Conclusie: Alanis heeft een stem die je herkent uit duizenden en heeft met deze plaat echt 3 monsterhits gescoord. Ik ging gemakkelijk de plaat door. Dat verdiend credits, maar niet meer dan 6. 6/10 Highlights: You Oughta Know Mary Jane

Out of all the nasally-90's-ugly singers, Alanis Morissette wins

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.

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

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.

Don’t like alanis

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 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 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

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.

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.

not a fan

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

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

Didn’t make it through.

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.

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.

Not my kind of music, even if ironic is iconic

rough singing

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Some well known tunes in here, not my bag though

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.

You outta know that that was the only song I was aware of having heard before. Out of the 12 songs, 5 were enjoyable (including that particular hit).

If Avril Lavigne was bad. Actually, listened to her right after this and I don't like it too. Maybe I've exhausted all the girl energy I had

Not for me

Had heard a couple songs before that I didn’t know who sang. Wasn’t really that great

Forced, unpoetic, defining

Jagged Little Pill is an appropriate show case of what Alanis Morissette is and is not capable of. The record travels through a variety of energy levels and vocal ranges. However, the album fails to evoke feelings that outstand from what you may obtain from other mainstream productions. Not a bad album, but pretty boring. Not my cup of tea.

Les dues primeres cançons entren súper bé, té un estil molt genèric però que sempre ve de gust. La tercera cançó és més lenta i avorreix una mica. A partir d'aquí totes les cançons són literalment la mateixa. L'estil genèric passa a fer-se pesat i repetitiu. Les inflexions que fa amb la veu són com una patada a la boca. Què pesada és per favor. Segurament millora molt escoltant les cançons individualment i amb espai per "descansar", però la veritat és que tot l'àlbum seguit se m'ha fet molt costa amunt. Petita excepció per Mary Jane que ni fu ni fa però m'ha semblat com a mínim una mica diferent. I naturalment ironic que és un clàssic. Seria 1 estrella si no fos per aquesta cançó. L'última tampoc està malament, però dura 5 minuts més del que cal

Ainut musiikki jota päivän aikana kuuntelee ei ole taidetta vaan tuottoa ja syöttöä.. Mies ahdingossa..

Kind of dated, 90s, still famous but didn’t like.

Bleh

Did not enjoy as the vocals and lyrics have always struck me as over produced

Well this voice is certainly unique. Didn’t hate this as much as I expected to but also found it very hard to finish.

Es un pop con una buena base y algunos arreglitos. Sin embargo no es la gran cosa y se vuelve monótono.

2/5

I didn't mind this, but I also found it a bit samey after a few songs. I get the sentiment, but find the backing a bit syrupy. Quite enjoyed some of the lyrics, but feels over-familiar due to the singes.

Slick. Almost too slick. The attitude feels forced. Sure, she's angry. But get over it. I found the breathless vocals annoying. Calm down. No ironic joke form me, either. Which is...

bottom 5 pop vocalist Ever probably

2/5 Best: Wake Up Worst: Mary Jane

Da e greit, men litt irriterande i blant

4/14

I didn't really like this album. I thought I would since I've listened to a couple Alanis Morrisette's songs but I got tired of her voice after the 3rd song.

The album is very special.... Kind of sounds bad but then still musically sounds good... Some good tracks but sometimes it felt painful to listen to it.... I would say 2.5/5

Filled with bland instrumentation, shrill vocals, and terrible 90s alt rock-isms this album is a mess. The fact that this is compared to Carole King's masterpiece Tapestry is a joke.

Pas intéressant

PREFS : All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic MOINS PREF : Perfect

Definitely better than anticipated. It absolutely stinks of the 90’s but some of the lesser known songs on here are pretty cool compared to the overplayed big hits. The vocals can grate a little for my taste… The musical equivalent of ‘Friends’

meh.

This feels like a version of the 90s that has cemented itself as cultural memory and stereotype. I don't know anything about Alanis Morissette's trajectory or how she sees herself as an artist. And yet, I can't help but think she's the more commercially palatable and uncomplicated answer to the rise of artists like Liz Phair, Ani DiFranco and a bevy of fantastic riot grrrl bands. For many, this record was a real moment even if it was one I was distant from. The first couple of songs are okay, but Perfect is hard to listen to. The vocals actively grate. It's like a 12 song album, they could've cut that one and my impression of the first part of the record would've been much better. Okay, maybe also you'd need to cut the track Forgiven as well. I don't know why people reach for the harmonica, ever, but you can keep Head Over Feet. For these ten songs only, I give this record three stars. If I have to take it all, it's going to be two.

Don't get me wrong, musically there are some bangers on here, but the lyrics just really kill it for me on this one.

I really don’t like this album it just sounds bad and isn’t my kind of music. I didnt like any song on it

Kaikissa biiseissä on suht sama rakenne: lyriikkapainotteisia, tietty lauserakenne/sanapari/idea toistuu, popkitaratausta on vain tausta. Mut on siitä silti saatu omaperäinen albumi aikaan. Myyntiluvut silti ihmetyttää

Ansaitsee kaksi tähteä, koska onnistuu siinä, mitä yrittää - eli luomaan päähän soimaan jääviä renkutuksia. Siitäkin huolimatta, että laulajan ääni on aivan saatanan ärsyttävä, ja suuri osa levyn sisällöstä jonkinlaista popiksi standardisoitua Pearl Jamia.

////////////......\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ><><><><><><><

Ok, but not to interesting to me

Even though there are moments on this record I still enjoy, I find a large portion of it unlistenable. I think it was the first album I ever bought, and I loved it until I found grittier stuff, but good golly that harmonica playing is some of the worst I’ve ever heard. Its a tough listen for me now.

I’m sorry but no

Didn't like this

People love this album but I think it’s kinda dated and get annoying after a while the first two tracks are great though

Peak 90’s, stem is vervelend

Best ok

Vroeger al niet echt geïnteresseerd geweest in Miss Morissette en nu nog steeds niet. Saaaaaiii!

mimi geignarde if you ask me

Not bad. I’ve heard the ironic Sind before (worst song on that album) Usually I’m not a fan of female artists but this is good. 7/10

I found it quite derivative and this sound isn't my cup of tea Fav song: You oughta know least fav: ironic

Can see why everyone loved it at the time, but the production is horrible and her voice really grates. Extra point for nostalgia.

Didn't like it then, not in the mood to try liking it now.

I just really hate this album. The only thing stopping this from being a 1 star album is You Oughta Know

this hasn't aged well

I really dont care much for this 90s family tv opening theme sound: Fav track:none Least fav:none

lmao i'll pass.

Juvenile, petty, mediocre pop music. Does not stand up to multiple listens

It was interesting to read the reviews for this one, lots of loving 5s but also lots of hateful 1s. She definitely captures the angst and zeitgeist of the 90s, maybe that’s why there are so many 5s. My complaint is a common one, her annoying shrieky, whiney voice which I really couldn’t get past. Isn’t it ironic was a catchy single when it first came out but the intervening 27 years have not been kind to it, and that’s the best song on the album.

Just meh? Will revisit one day.

Great album

It's ok. Other than the 2 singles I'd heard previously, "You Oughta Know" and "Ironic", I don't know why this album resonated with so many people, idk

I'm gonna copy and paste an excerpt of the wikipedia article, which perfectly encapsulates what I'm thinking about this one: "Other critics were less favorable. David Browne of Entertainment Weekly was intrigued by "You Oughta Know" but found the rest of Jagged Little Pill "much harder to swallow", continuing, "What sounds arresting on a single grows wearing over a full album. Producer-co-songwriter Glen Ballard's arrangements are clunky mixtures of alternative mood music and hammy arena rock, and the 21-year-old Morissette tends to wildly oversing every other line." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune wrote that Morissette "strives for catharsis but often merely sounds histrionic". When listing the album at 45 on the "100 Best Albums of the Nineties", Rolling Stone commented: "Jagged Little Pill is like a Nineties version of Carole King's Tapestry: a woman using her plain soft-rock voice to sift through the emotional wreckage of her youth, with enough heart and songcraft to make countless listeners feel the earth move"." In other words, nice topical lyrics but generally awful music. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: 859 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory: 77 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 35 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 30 (including this one)

sounds like something avril lavigne would release if she was active in 1995

violent flashbacks to every tv show and movie playing these songs

Been a while since I heard this. Voice is still nasal and shrill. The singles are pretty catchy though.

Ohhoh kun on ajan hammas puraissut aika saamarin lujaa! Tosi moni näistä biiseistä on sellasii jotka on saanut aivan järkyttävän määrän toistoja radiossa ja leffoissa joten ne on syöpynyt aivoihin aika pahasti. Ihan hyvä tällännen ysärin rakkaus-voimaantumislevyhän tää varmaan on mut liika on liikaa. 2/5

Ei huono, mutta ylipitkä ja vähän huonosti ikääntynyttä ysärimenoa. Jossain omakotitalolähiössä pyöräillessä ihan jees. 2,5/5

As much as this may be a quintessential 90s pop album I don’t find it too exciting. Morrisette’s voice isn’t the most pleasing to hear for an hour. The songwriting on some of the songs is relatively dull. Her ironic song is comically named wrongly but it is somewhat catchy. You oughta know isn’t too bad either but the rest of the album feels a bit dated already. 3.9/10

It is very, very mainstream. And some of the songs jar but only because you have heard them too many times

Hated this album when it came out. Gave it a genuine listen and I still don’t like it and I don’t get why it became such a big deal. I can see how stitched together it could work as a broadway show soundtrack. That’s as positive a comment as I can make.

I had a vague memory this was supposed to be good, but I didn't like the album recording at all. To jog my memory I watched bits of her live performance at Woodstock '99 on youtube and that sounded so much better. Since we are reviewing the album and not any live versions, I can only give this 2 stars.

Not my jam.

Ooh. Hasn't aged well. Oozes 90s angst but in a nicely packaged form.

I loved this when I was 13. Very much grown out of it.

I don't think 90s music is my thing. So many people say the 90s were the best decade for music, but I'm really not seeing it. Maybe the 4th best decade. A lot of it sounds like music you're supposed to listen to with your head out the window of a car, feeling your youthful angst being washed away.

Familiar with a couple of tracks so expecting more of the same. Unfortunately this wasn't delivered. Somewhat ranting in places which diminished the lyrics.

Not for me, boyos!

Not a fan of her voice.

Had his place in 1995, now it's repetitive

Pop farofa bem normal.

i actually didn’t like this.. i know it’s very impressive that she released such a famous album at such a young age but i just didn’t really see it. the first song kind of set the scene and i actively disliked it. the rest of the album was just eh.. i was familiar with a few but it just didn’t do it at all for me.

Songs in itself are fine, but her voice is kind of weird and it only works for a small number of songs

Well, I never really cared much for her voice. But this album sure does make me feel nostalgic.

Anybody who grew up in the 90's remembers hearing the hit singles on the radio. This album is loaded with 'em. It's catchy and nostalgic for sure, but it's not something I would keep in rotation. Her voice borders on irritating most of the time. The deeper cuts aren't that bad, just not interesting enough to pique my interest.

1995. Ironic, You Oughta Know

Tellement typique 90s comme son. La musique est pas pire, mais la voix d'Alanis reste trop un bloquant.

I had heard a few of the songs from this album back when it was popular, but I'd never listened to the whole album. Overall, it's...okay. I don't actively dislike it but don't love it, either. I surprised myself by liking "Hand In My Pocket" after all these years. Maybe it's a bit of nostalgia for those years and the general sentiment of that song -- I remember liking it when it was released because irony and cyncism had permeated, well, pretty much everything by the mid-90s, and it was refreshing to hear something with some semblance of hope in it. I get that to some (many? I really have no idea; can hardly fathom my own loose grasp on existence, what the hell do I know of others' experience) listeners that song might be hokey or corny or whatever, but I dig it. She has a great voice, which can come through at times but it can be a bit much, too. And, hey, she played God in Kevin Smith's 1999 comedy "Dogma," so there's that, too.

A few good songs, but rest of the album drags a little. Can see why it’s on the list but wouldn’t listen to the full album again.

got 2 classics, but not a huge fan overall

It was OK. Of its time and I'm not sure its aged well...

not really for me

Bad

Not bothered

90’s. I don’t dislike Alanis, but I have never considered any of her songs to be “ear worms”

2-3

Meh

Unique vocals over pop-py tracks. I enjoyed the poetry but her voice is annoying YEEAAAAYEEAAAA BAAABAAYYYYY

I listened to it... Can't say I'll listen again

alright

Not a fan, too noisy

Very 90s

she went off but i dont see myself ever listening to it again

Do I like '90s alt-rock? Yes. Do I like Alanis Morissette's voice? Honestly, not really. Do I like the concept of Alanis Morissette singing in that voice about how much her exes are missing out on her? Again, that's probably a no. As far as mid-'90s not-quite-grunge goes, there are quite a few other options available that do it better, although I'd be lying if I said that this album doesn't have its moments. Best song: Right Through You was pretty decent, and All I Really Want would have been great as an instrumental.

I can't

Really not my speed. Glad I recognized some songs and glad this is on the list (been on my "should listen to" list for a while now), but I cannot STAND her voice, half emo half whiny. The instrumentals and lyrics don't save this either. I'm rounding to a 1 because of my disappointment

no thanks came up with an open mind but not a fan. didn't like the bass playing, her singing, or the tunes.

I hate the lyrics, I hate her voice, I hate how much this was shoved down the Canadian populations throat. This occupies the same space in my head as Nickelback, disrespectfully.

One of my least favorite albums I've ever listened to. I wasn't outraged about listening to this album for about 30 seconds and it was the 2 unexpected harmonica solos. To her credit, she sparingly tackles some existential topics and therefore tackles more interesting topics than Taylor Swift imo because it's predominantly not reinforcing the idea that a young girl's life should revolve around young love. I told myself if she was younger than 19 when this came out, I'd give it a 2 ... no dice

ddint finish as the album didnt feel good to me.

Really painful listen. Her voice sucks.
