Jagged Little Pill

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.

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.

Ugh

not bad

Zzz

noo me gusta este estilo

Ear assaulter worse than the other 1 stars

Låter som musik man sondmatadets med som liten i baksätet på mammas Saab från dåliga högtalare. Soundet är starkt förankrat till hollywoods guldålder för mig, när de bajsade ut mängder med comedi/drama. Nej tack.

You Oughta Know is a banger but overall her voice comes across as whiny and repetitive.

Jesus Titty Fucking Christ More like isn’t it moronic, don’t you think? Even still, Dave Coullier fumbled pretty hard. She blew him at the movies allegedly but I’m guessing it still wasn’t enough for him. This is music is for 13 year old “deep thinking girls.” I’m all for empowerment but this is just lame. I’ll take The Black Album any day over this. Seriously, this album is stupid and tedious.

Not my taste

Mostly a miss for me. Feels like I'm mopping in a mall and this is the only non-work thing I can hear. Forgiven was kind of fun.

Fuck no

Holy fuck i hate this. She sounds like a female version of the singer from pearl Jam. 1.5/13. 33.97%

There were 3 or 4 good songs, and it’s very 90s nostalgic. Gonna be honest I don’t have anything witty to say about it it’s just not very good. And Uncle Joey wasn’t worth it. He was probably part of that group of people counting down when the Olsen twins were gonna turn 18.

The lyrics are very whingy, get on your tits after a bit, it's all just very shit

I see yer ma's taking the divorce well.

Didn't like it at all. It's very 90s in all bad ways that can be.

I'm trying really hard to approach this one with an open mind. To my knowledge, I've never heard the entirety of this album, though the singles from it were impossible to miss at the time. I don't know Alanis Morrisette's reach outside of Canada, but I have to assume that it was pretty wide if she made this list and that Apple Music has it as one of their 100 Best Albums when I go to stream it. I'm not hearing the appeal though. Is this the Canadian thing where we tend to be highly critical and dismissive of fellow Canadians? On the positive side, I like that she's not actually a very good singer. Her lyrics are raw and angry, fairly explicit for the time, and the lack of polish in her voice works here. From what I recall, this album was minorly scandalous because she was airing some dirty laundry about some well-known actors of the time. I assume her backing band is made up of studio musicians. They're competent, but there's no real character to any of the music. The best I can say here is that this music spoke to a particular moment, but a lot of music at the time had those similar angry, angsty, broody qualities, but this lacks the artfulness to allow it to transcend its time.

Mfh

I guess it’s good at what it does, but I don’t like that.

Pop bulshit for little girls

Klarer ikke å like dette.

More like Jagged Little Shrill.

Before last Saturday this would have easily been the worst LP I’d ever had the misfortune to listen to all the way through, “Highway To Hell” set a very high bar in that regard but on balance AM just about got over it…OMG, never again. Tom. I found this unbearable, the lyrics, vocals...everything. Charlotte

first

fea voz de la chica y las letras de lo last

A dull, unoriginal, bland, and especially repetitive piece of rubbish which goes nowhere throughout its HOUR LONG runtime. A complete waste of time. All songs sound the same with the exact same structure, so it gets tiring after the first two songs, the production doesn't help it in the slightest somehow managing to make everything sound 10x more bland and uncreative. Listening to this is a complete waste of time, it doesn't matter how 'deep' the lyrics are (which they are not) if the music is total rubbish. If you asked an AI to generate a 90s rock album you'd get this piece of crap.

I kinda hate this genre of music ngl so I couldn’t even finish listening to it, which is kinda against the rules but also I am the rules so. My fave lyric was from “You oughta know” ( there are two songs with same name for some reason, this was the first one), where she says “Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theatre?”. But that’s kinda it. Sounds like 2000s witch movie soundtrack.

nah

Grating

The music itself isn't bad, but these songs were so grating. I actually sighed with relief when the album finished.

Jeg pleier ikke å klage over at noen skriver dårlige sangtexter, men dette bikka meg over. Alanis har ett litterært weapon of choice, og hun bruker det over alt: motstillinger. All I Really Want (også et av de sterkeste sporene): "My sweater is on backwards and inside out And you say, how appropriate" Hand in My Pocket: Hver eneste verslinje. Wake Up: "You like snow, but only if it's warm You like rain, but only if it's dry" Og ingen trenger å si noe mer om Ironic. Jeg synes hun er for åpenbar, hun står hele tiden i fare for å fremstå som prekende, og jeg tror hun har mer til felles med Jannicke enn hva som er flatterende, da de begge skriver texter hvor det føles ut som om man sparker nedover om man kritiserer dem; at de på en måte har null idé over at de skriver som om de fortsatt gikk på barneskolen. Musikalsk er det mer spennende enn fordommene skulle tilsi, med masse 90-tallsismer -- spesielt er det mye trip hop-innflytelser. Men så har det dessverre et sånn pop-sheen over fjøla som er stikk motsatt av den mørke, skitne, og litt forbudte viben jeg forbinner med sjangeren. Mye av låtskrivingen baserer seg også på pop-hooks som ikke ville stukket seg ut i en Nickelback-låt. Hun har en imponerende stemme og åpenbart mye på hjertet, men jeg ser helst at hun deler observasjonene sine om livets og samfunnets finurligheter med noen andre enn meg. Gi meg heller Fiona Apple, som egentlig ikke høres ut som dette i det hele tatt, men som jeg av en eller annen grunn tenkte på fra første sekund med Jagged Little Pill. Grupperer jeg alle sterke kvinnestemmer fra 90-tallet med indie flair sammen?

horrible. Her voice is off pitch and grated on every nerve.

Bonus point for all three of her hits coming off this album

Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi trica jer stvarno nije toliko loš album. Možda i četvorka.

Whilst I can understand the appeal from a production perspective, her voice sounds like nails grinding on a chalkboard.

Massively successful. Morissette herself is likeable, but I find the music irritating in pretty much every department.

90s teen drama finishes, You Oughta Know starts playing in the credits.

לא ככ אהבתי , לגעתי לא קלאסיקה

nah

Not my thing

eh

I know I'm in the minority on this one, but its just too grating. Most 90's stuff is hit or miss, and while this one has some catchy lyrics and fun basslines, the singing is just not my vibe. Sorry Miss Morissette

The first song threw me off. Couldn't listen to the whole album

Ally McBeal-grunge. Jag vill inte höra det igen

Nej, nej, nej… Det här borde inte vara tillåtet. Inför censur! Bland Canada! Låt Trumpen göra det jävla skitlandet till 51a staten och sätt upp en mur för att stoppa utgående flöden. Swisha en summa till närmsta djurrättsorganisation för att rädda grodan som hålls kidnappad i Alanis strupe!

90-tals rock när den är som allra sämst. Gott om texter om män som lämnat henne. Jag vill också lämna det här bakom mig. Fullkomligt vidrigt munspel i Head over Feet.

Cements my hate for Alanis’ voice… don’t get the hype, all sounds the same to me

not my cup of tea

Painful. Apparently the 13th best selling album of all time. I first heard this while following the 20 Million Club podcast, wasn't impressed then and it still doesn't do anything for me.

The best songs are like a female Bob Dylan, but not in a good way. The rest is some kind of Canadian Hannah Montana slop.

Very modern pop singing, really don't like it

That moment when you already late and then a traffic jam hits 🤣🤣

This is a record of it's time that does not date well, I did buy it at the time. I saw her live at a festival and did enjoy the experience. The problems I find now are several: schreaching ( who ever is torturing stop you cruel bastards), lyrics some of the worst angry teen lyrics of all time and ones written to shock (but don't) like the sexual references clumsy. It's so contrived and lacks any sophistication. FUCK ME JUST READ THE REVIEWS YOU LOVE HER OPEN YOUR EARS. DATED MUSIC MEANS IT IS SHIT NAME ME ONE CLASSIC THAT SOUNDS DATED. DON'T EVEN MENTION THE IRONY THAT ISN'T

Nä, inte alls min grej. Alldeles för mycket 90-tal, och inte på ett bra sätt. Typ One Tree Hill-soundtrack.

No sir , I don’t like it.

The singles got a lot of radio play at the time, but I found them whiney and annoying, so never listened to the album. I've now listened to it all, and I find it ... whiney and annoying.

Generic

I don't like 90's. she seems angry.

Not for me, isn't it ironic.

I wasn't angry about listening to this for about 30 seconds and it was the 2 unexpected harmonica solos. I told myself if she was younger than 19 when this came out, I'd give it a 2. No dice

A voice like nails on a chalkboard, but a little worse

I have it a shot but this album has not aged we'll at all for me. The production is decent enough, but very dated. The songs are ok musically, the lyrics are juvenile dreck, and the vocals are atrocious. I didn't realize until today just how bad a singer Alanis is, but it's a bit jarring on a close listen.

Ironic was catchy 30 years ago, but the rest fell flat.

Mens jeg lyttede gik det op for mig, at jeg aldrig har sat nogen af de 3 numre, jeg kendte før jeg hørte albummet, på frivilligt. Kan simpelthen ikke lide hendes stemme og produktionen er så dated. Mary Jane var ret god men det var også det eneste nummer, der fungerede for mig

Jojo, der er nogen catchy sange, men det er en af de mere irriterende stemmer i moderne musikhistorie. Av hvor var det træls at lytte til.

ass

god I hate her voice, I'm sorry, it's just so grating to listen to and ruins everything. doesn't help that this sounds dated and uninspired

I just cannot get past her affect. I hate the way she chooses to sing. I've heard her sing great, but the choice she makes here just grates on me so much. I can't stand it, and I can't really put that aside and rate the album outside of it. It's just nails on a chalkboard to me.

This was sooooo hard to listen to - 0/5 please make it stop

And I'm here to remind you that this mess exists... You, you, aught pass.

This sucks

wau täksi päiväksi tuli tämmöin klassikko, korkeasti arvosteltu albumi! joka ikinen mahdollinen ominaisuus tässä on paskaa! ärsyttävää 90 luvun poppirock kirkumista, maailman tylsimmät kitaralinjailut ja kusisesti miksattu rumpukoneisto. tähän päälle lyriikat jotka kuulostaa 14-vuotiaan kirjoittamilta tältä aikuiselta naiselta. kaikki mitä amerikkalaisessa (noh, känädä on sama asia) musiikissa on viime vuosikkymmeninä ollut niin vitun virheellistä. täältä arbitage ja pelkkää objektivismia, ja tämä albumi on syöpää, keuhkon. all i really want

90s-pop-by-the-numbers production; some of the most irritating vocal affectations ever recorded; and SO MUCH lyrical detritus: to paraphrase, its the sound of pretensions falling all around

I can't stand her voice it's just an abomination and some songs are just the pits, but you can't deny 'You ought to know' and the other 'hits' stand up to the test. It sounds very dated and I can never get over the fact that it's so ironic that all the lyrics in ironic are not ironic as so well done by Ed Byrne in a comedy skit.

Musically it is OK, but I really hate Alanis Morissette vocals from the bottom of everything I have. Not to mention everything I hate in Ironic...

Not my cup of tea. Glad I´ve heard it but won´t listen again.

I couldn’t finish this

Um.... just a bit weird... bit too weird for me to really enjoy but I can see why some people like it... not vibing tho

Gefällt mir nicht!

Her voice... Yeah, I don't like it. It's not that it is bad, it's how she sings. Sounds like Jonathan Davis but in the totally wrong context

I suppose the music is good, but I just can't get over her voice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Did not like

Nope

I'd like to listen to music not whining

Did not enjoy at all

Bisschen langweilig. Sehr ruhige Musik, vielleicht Richtung indie

Songs aren’t bad. Singing is dreadful

22/100

furchtbares geschrei, musste ausmachen

Not ma vibe.

Meh. Her constant yodeling voice flips are unlistenable.

This could have stayed in the 90s.

no no no, i’m not trying to be a dick it’s just no good

WARNING: Prolonged listening can lead to an increased risk of certain side effects and complications, including nausea, migraines, diarrhea, perforated eardrums, dizziness, and death.

Tel le pastis, Morissette est Alanis. Et prendre l'apéro est sans doute une bien meilleure expérience que d'écouter ça...

Despite having listened to many of these songs many many times, I just really don't like her music.

This album made me want to give up on day 1. Kept checking back to spotify to see how many songs were left.

Awful

An incredibly powerful piece of little evil

Le pop

No.

En varsinaisesti välitä tästä levystä. Ois muuten ehkä 2/5, mutta Ironicissa yksikään asia ei itse asiassa ole *ironista* vaan enemmän huonoa onnea. Tästä vitutuksesta vähennän yhden tähden eli Phil Spectorin joululevyn kanssa samaan koriin.

Granie i spiewanie z kanady, ktora jak do tej pory zbyt duzej reprezentacji nie miala na liscie, ale jak miala to raczej hitowe, tym razem jak dla mnie jest to calkowity miss, tak okrutnego zawodzenia dawno nie slyszalem, jak na tym co oferuje Jagged Little Pill, ktory jest trzecim albumem w dyskografii pani Alanis Morissette, na tej prawie godzinnej torturze mozna odchaczac czekliste jak stworzyc radiowe brzmienie w muzyce rokowej, chociaz lepiej okreslic to jako pop rock, blendowanie roznych styli od elektronicznego brzmienia po akustyka przy wykorzystaniu poteznej ilosci sesyjnych grajkow, czek, liryka ktora kreci sie wokol biednej mlodej baby, jakom oczywiscie jest artystka osadzona w tak okrutnym swiecie, czek, ekspresja liryczna zeby jeszcze bardziej podkreslic dramaty z jakimi musi sie ona zmagac tworzac muzyczny kontent, czek, ponad 10 ludzi siedzacych nad produkcja, bo im wiecej glow przy projekcie tym bardziej mialkie i podobajace sie kazdemu brzmienie mozna wycisnac z danego traka, czek, wiec nie dziwne ze w latach 90 byl to dobrze sprzedany krazek, bo ona to wszystko robi, robi to tak dobrze, ze po tej godzinnej torturze nie jestem w stanie nic dodac na plejke, bo takie plyty trzeba przezyc tylko raz w zyciu, zeby uzmyslowic sobie dlaczego muzyka popularna jest popularna

radio killed this for me ... I couldn't drag myself to listen

I've listened to this enough in the 90's. I think once was too many.

nope.. not my sound! da taugt mir halt die kylie schon mehr ;)

I find her slightly annoying

something for the background
