Jagged Little Pill

Would be a 5 but a song entitled Ironic that contains nothing that is actually ironic is annoying.

Love the harmonies, a little rough on the solo vocals

Did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Very samey samey to begin with, but after a couple play throughs I really loved this. Pretty much all of her best stuff on one album, and the epitome of female anger in the 90s. Loved it.

This album is absolutely brilliant - her iconic vocals cut through each song like a knife, so striking and impactful, yet dynamic to each song that she performs. The songwriting is catchy yet really clever, and the 3-4 big hits are absolutely killer. Hand In My Pocket is my favourite, but the others all hit the spot too. There are 2-3 tracks that don’t hit the same heights for me, but overall it’s a superb listen. 9/10.

and what it all comes down to… i hear some joni mitchell, cranberries, etc.

Highlights: You Oughta Know, All I Really Want, Ironic, Hand In My Pocket, Perfect, You Learn, Head Over Feet. 4.4

The Good: We feel bad, we get medicine! The Bad: It’s a jagged pill to swallow… The Ugly: I don’t know, Alanis’s outfits back in the ‘90s??? How I recall this album landing… and many of us wondering how it was possible that someone with such an odd voice was getting sooooo much attention? Middle ‘90s were a time where the ladies were getting their foothold in the music scene though; No Doubt, Shania Twain, Whitney Houston, Melissa Ethridge, Bjork… and on and on I could go… fucking Spice Girls… Anyway, Alanis, she was kind of special… in the way she seemed to feel totally uncomfortable on stage, yet becoming a rolemodel for plenty. I am glad that she was not a one-day fly on the wall, and able to grace us with music for a good decade, before sliding into oblivion as many others did post ‘90s, well… except for Bjork… and Gwen Stefani… and even Britney Spears… Should this album be on a list of things you need to hear before you die? Yes. It was a pivot moment in music history where alternative music became the new pop music… but you’d need to explain that to people. Anyway, there was a moment around track #3 that I started getting irritated with Alanis’s voice… but that smoothed out a track or two later… so, 4* as this is a great album, but not great enough for top score!

Really liked it. Great album with incredible energy from the 19 year old Canadian who made it. Excellent start.

Achingly 90s, fun, really well crafted songs. A great voice, there’s not much not to like about this album. Ironic is such a good song, as is one hand in my pocket. Some of the lyrics are cheeeesy asf but that’s kind of the point? 4.0/5.0 Best Song: Ironic/One Hand

A lot of bangers, this is the whole of the 90s distilled into an album. I can see why it was so massive, the big songs are very good and big for obvious reasons. I think her song writing is a little bit bizzare at times, but i think that is part of the charm

Straight up didn't realise so many of those songs were all on one album.

Despite hating most of this when I was in my early 20s and it was all overplayed so much on the radio, this is a stellar album from start to finish. Hard to believe how many huge songs she had all on one album.

One of my friends loves this album. She was right about it's quality. Good album

Rock solid through 9 songs, then weakens. Not just a singles album but an incredible work of embodied sincerity, top tier production, and vocal performance that innovates through today. We need an artists like Alanis today. What we have are self-aware, meta, and irony layered confessionals that arent

a very raw and 90's album. iconic lyrics. "forgiven" is definitely top place for me. "in the name of the father, the skeptic and the son. i had one more stupid question."

The highs are high and this album is rightfully on this list, but in my honest opinion it also has a couple of misses.

This, along with Cracked Rear View, might be the most decisively 90’s North American album. Not that it’s the best album of the 90’s (it’s great, of course), but it’s hard to imagine this becoming a massive hit in any other decade. And it was massive indeed. According to Chartmasters it is the 10th highest selling album OF ALL TIME. It’s long been fascinating to me just how insanely successful this record was. It is 17x platinum in the U.S., which is more than Dark Side of The Moon, Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, or Nevermind. It’s gone platinum 7 more times than Radiohead’s entire discography combined. It did some wild numbers. It’s also a pretty good album! The hits are definitely bangers, especially Ironic with its killer hooks in the chorus. Even though I’m a kid of the 90’s, I don’t really have a huge nostalgia factor for it (my parents weren’t the type to let an 8 year hear a song referencing movie theater blow jobs), which I think is necessary to call it a masterpiece in my humblest opinion. There’s no doubting its influence, and these songs can be heard in Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and others today.

A very good album

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette 1995 Jagged Little Pill stands as a thoroughly decent and engaging alternative rock listen, heavily anchored by a phenomenal, uninhibited performance from Alanis Morissette. Her characteristically raw, conversational delivery serves as the definitive standout element of the entire experience, injecting a genuine sense of emotional stakes into every track. This vocal intensity is matched by excellent, crisp production choices from front to back that seamlessly balance mid-90s post-grunge grit with sharp pop sensibilities, ensuring the album holds together remarkably well as a cohesive body of work. While the tracklist offers a highly solid listening experience throughout, the beautifully melancholic and protective narrative of "Mary Jane" emerges as the true standout of the record, capturing a level of vulnerability that cuts through the noise. Alongside it, the biting critique of "Right Through You," the culture-defining irony of "Ironic," and the heavy, slow-burning build of "Wake Up" serve as the clear highlights that elevate the album's lasting impact. 4/5

Surprisingly remembered Sheena Ringo when I listened to it, maybe this was an inspiration for her? Either way, quite cool, a bit screamy vocals accompanied by a washed out guitar. I liked “You Outta Know”.

Love the anger, love the passion, raw and reminiscent of that era for me.

A record of its time that seem to come out of nowhere, it's an emotionally charged breakup record with great pop tunes, incisive if literal lyrics, and an edge. Alanis' whiny and limited vocal delivery can grate, but the songs are strong and the sincerity is there. Not a classic, but a strong statement.

Her best

Makes me wonder how much it would cost to commission Morissette to write and record an album about your own ex

Good stuff!!! Excellent vocals/lyrics backed by strong band!!

Excellent

Great album!

A bit too long

Aivan ihana ja ikoninen ääni. Ehkä jutut koskee nuorien tyttöjen sanoituksia, mutta aivan ihana ja ikoninen

Alanis is epic, her voice does get a bit annoying towards the end of the album. As an album person, I do prefer to listen to her songs randomly, rather than an album because of that

Ironic is almost one of the less good songs on this album? This actually really surprised me, I was expecting to not like it. Her songwriting is great and it's a consistent ride. Shoutout to you learn, head over feet, and not the doctor.

8/10 - Great album. Whole listen was enjoyable. Lots of strong instrumentals and the combination of them with Alan is Morissette's unique singing style worked so well. Well worth the listen.

some classic songs on this one, undoubtedly worth a listen.

excellent 90s peak angst yodel singing, fun songwriting and lyrics. fun production with drum machines, some amazing bass playing!

Sometimes it’s easy to be cynical but this is still really good! I actually appreciated the album cuts a lot, probably just because they were new to me. The singles are good, of course, but I’ve also heard them all roughly 1,000 times during the course of my life. There is a theatricality to these songs. You can tell Morissette was an actress. She “plays” these songs. No surprise this album eventually became a Broadway show. They’re very showtune-y, in a modern way. Great stuff.

oii, lessgoo! i saw this after just having woken up and i am so happy now. all i really want: you oughta know: perfect: hand in my pocket: right through you: forgiven: you learn: head over feet: mary jane: ironic: not the doctor: wake up: overall:

Alanís reinaaaa

Girl power to the nth degree. Great songs that take on the inequality of being female but with a sliver of hope. I listened to this album a lot back in the 90's but never really listened that hard to the lyrics. I'm looking forward to hearing what my 30 year old daughter thinks of it. Only complaint is the 90's era production that seems to make the music sound a little thin or something--not sure i know how to describe it but it's a 90's sound.

This is what a 90's album sounds like. It's messy at points, but passionate throughout. I listened to this on my laptop on Apple Music and I do not know if it was the Dolby Atmos, or if it was some other setting, but her vocals were sounded like they were pushed right into my face, more so than if I listened on Spotify. With that I was able to pick up on the imperfections in her voice, but it still all works. Just a good album, Biggest Hit - You Oughta Know Biggest Miss (if I had to choose) - Mary Jane Not So Hidden Gem - Head Over Feet

Its a good album with a lot of great songs

Gut

This is the 90s. Every single thing about it. Mega hits, alt vibe, lyrics and instrumentation that are soaked in the era. It feels like a visit to the nostalgic land.

Very good overall

really enjoyable, definitely not a sound i gravitate towards but there's a few songs in here that i see myself coming back to (specifically "Ironic" and "Wake Up")

Her voice does become a little annoying in some of the songs, but it's emotional honesty makes it one of the defining albums of the ‘90s. It is relatable frustration.

What a great album from front to back. I'm not sure if I'd be able to pick random deep cuts and listen out of order which is why I'm not giving this a 5, but I'm really glad I listened to this

Incredible first album to be given 🫶 Great songs, first time listeninf to in full. You Oughta Know, Ironic, and One Hand In My Pocket are bangers

CANCON legend

Move over divorced dad music, this is divorced mom music.

Very solid album. It’s great back to go listen to this outside of the music of the time.

General thoughts: I was curious about Alanis Morrissete's music. I had no idea what to expect. Surprisingly, I already knew two of this album's songs. 'Jagged Little Pill' has a 2000s vibe and the tone is rebellious but tame at the same time, scorny even. The genre influences range from pop to rock to urban to post-grunge. I would classify it as a 'Contemporary adult nearing a life crisis'. The album is consistent, the tracks are well-produced, and the songs are always catchy. From that perspective, it's a really enjoyable pop-rock album, tailored for a big audience, like almost any song could be part of a TV show soundtrack. The selection of instruments is nice, particular kudos to the usage of the harmonica. Next point, her voice. I'd normally dislike the tone in her voice, but it actually suits the music. Some tracks, like the acapella 'Your House', demonstrate the capabilities of her voice and show that the 'Jagged Little Pill' tone is a deliberate style choice. In this regard, tougher tracks remind me of Bôa. I got this at the same time as Aimee Mann, and I have to compare them. Morrisette's music is more predictable and artificial, but her energy delivery is powerful, the lyrics are better, but her topics are worse. Just from the lyrics alone, I imagine Morrisette is kinda a crazy bitch. Even then, the bottom line is 'Jagged Little Pill' is objectively better than Aimee's 'Whatever', and that mildly infuriates me, as Aimee has more interesting things to offer. I don't see myself listening to 'Jagged Little Pill''s whole run again, but I do see that for 'Whatever'. Outstanding song(s): Ironic Forgiven Weakest song(s): You Oughta Know (Jimmy the Saint Blend) / Your House (a capella) - I have a problem with this song; it makes no sense for a titled track in an album and makes less sense as a closer. The alternate mix is worse than the final version, so why put it there? The acapella song is very cool and shows me a more controlled version of Alanis M.'s voice, but it still doesn't make sense as a closer. There's a one-minute-long silence between the two parts, too. I mean, even as an interlude, it doesn't make sense for it to be part of the setlist; it should be a track for a special edition release or part of a bootleg or something, but for a studio album, it completely destroys the flow of the setlist. Cover: 90-00 wave of shitty covers Real rating: 3.73

I was pretty worried about this going in, I had heard You Oughta Know before and it’s a very hit or miss song for me, but this ended up being a really strong album for me. She’s got a really fun voice, and she’s very compelling. Admittedly, I did zone out a lot of this album cause I was working on a project, but it was still a really solid one. Favorites: You Oughta Know, Ironic, Not the Doctor

Ah, good old Angry Alanis, this was absolutely huge when it came out, smack bang in the middle of the 90's. Pretty amazing that 'You Oughta Know' was such a massive radio hit with references to blow-jobs in a theatre and thinking of someone else whilst shagging. The album starts with a bang with 'All I Really Want' and 'You Oughta Know' which are perfect for screaming along with whilst driving too fast in your car. But that's just the start, there are a heap of singles on here that worm their way into your ears - 'Hand In My Pocket', 'You Learn', 'Head Over Feet', and of course, the much derided 'Ironic'. Although some of the lyrics don't stand up well to deeper inspection, it's a hit, it's catchy and it has a killer hook in the chorus. Hard not to love it, even if you feel goofy singing along to some of the sillier lyrics. I guess it's understandable that she never quite reached these hallowed heights again in her career, as how the hell do you follow up a breakthrough like this? Maybe you don't need to, and you just do what you want for the next 30 years or so...........

Classic late 90’s

Great 90’s angst

Hell hath no fury like an Alanis scorned.

Jagged Little Pill is an album i got close to 5 staring. The only songs on this album that i was really familiar with were You Oughta Know and Ironic and i definitely had heard bits and pieces of a few of the other ones too. I really liked a lot of the things this album did. The music was always really interesting with harmonica segments that actually worked well with the songs combined with the standard pop rock fare but also Morisette's vocals were really good here too. The only reason i didn't give this album 5 stars is because most of the songs lacked a certain punchiness which would put them over the top. Despite that, it is a really great album that more than deserves it's place here. Best Song: Ironic Worst Song: Right Through You

Very fun listening. A lot of the songs are very similar but I really like the rhythm and the vibe. A few songs I'd never heard like Mary Jane that were very different. The classics hit hard though. Such a fun album

I've heard a lot of praise for Alanis Morissette as a songwriter, but I didn't really understand it until I sat down and paid attention to this album. She isn't exactly subtle, and there are a few clunky moments (e.g. the infamous ten thousand spoons line), but she more than makes up for it with her raw anger and sharp sense of humor. This is primarily a breakup album, but she deals with a lot of other topics, such as Catholic guilt on Forgiven, parental expectations on Perfect, and depression on Mary Jane, and she makes all these very familiar topics feel fresh and new with how much passion she puts into the performance and the writing. I liked the combination of grungy guitars and trip-hop electronic drums that comprise the bulk of this album, it reminds me of a more restrained version of the Garbage album I recently listened to. This isn't the most revolutionary album on the planet, but it's such a well constructed and charming piece of pop rock that it ended up winning me over.

To my ears it sounds a bit dated now. However, I remember it being ground breaking at the time and a genuinely great album. Her singing style can irritate at times but it’s all subjective I suppose.

Album of my childhood. Much better angry white girl music. Enjoyed this way more the pj Harvey.

Day 276 Wouldn’t quite go the full marks as there’s definitely a few songs on here where her unique voice becomes slightly grating, but the stuff on this album that’s good is really fucking good. Highlights All I really want You oughta know Head over feet

I already love the intro music. Immediately. Liked the beats, rhythm and vocals too. Cute lyrics. My teenage self would connect with the lyrics probably. Or maybe not. It is triggering my overstimulation syndrome (that's what I call it when some beats or loudness of a music make me overstimulated; not necessarily a bad thing in terms of music). Apparently this genre is called 'lilith'.

A very nostalgic album for me as this was one of the first albums I ventured into when I started to listen to my 'own' music. Some of the lyrics are quite clunky now 15 years later but still familiar

Tuttuja hittejä mutta myös loistavia, entuudestaan tuntemattomia biisejä. Eihän tämän levyn hiteiltä ole voinut ysärillä välttyä varmaan missään päin maailmaa, on tämä ollut niin valtava albumi. Vaan enpä ole itse tätä omistanut enkä varmaan kokonaan alusta loppuun kuunnellut. Ja onhan tämä maineensa ja menestyksensä veroinen. Ei huonoja biisejä. Ja onhan You Oughta known lyriikat aikamoiset nuoren naisen kynästä. Parhaat biisit You oughta know, Forgiven ja Wake up. 4/5

the 2000's asshole accent on the first one made me want to kms but the rest of the album was great

Favourite: - you oughta know

Ben normaal echt niet van de rock type muziek, maar dit was wel een vibe 7.5/10

some bangers in there

Hit after hit after hit. I havent listened to this album in full ever but heard 8 or 9 of the songs just by being out in the world 30 years ago. I enjoyed hearing these songs today and I think this album has aged really well.

Classic angst. Realized she’s right between Joni Mitchell and Rush.

There's such an edge to her voice that I forget there are happy songs on this album. This still feels like one of the angriest albums I've ever heard, largely I think because of the rangers of her voice and the lyrics -- and she's got a knack for a turn off phrase and for storytelling. I don't know that it's still that high up there for me, but I do think it holds together well as an album compared to other picks on this list.

Speaking of albums that deserve their place on the mantle of 90s alt rock, Jagged Little Pill deserves all of its flowers and all of its 42.6 million copies sold (more than Sgt. Pepper's! more than Purple Rain & Like a Virgin!). The singles are undeniable, the album tracks are thoughtful and complex by 1995 standards, and her ability to weave between pop and riot grrrl energy was a complete time capsule of 1995 and of most alt-rock music to follow. It's maybe a net negative that this took over the sales charts the way it did — the industry chasing crunchy guitars with a catchy over-produced earwormy single pre-existed this, but something switched post-Nirvana where the music felt impersonal and in sole pursuit of radio play; Jagged Little Pill isn't guilty of this (in my opinion), but it is emblematic of the money that was out there to be made if something caught wildfire. None of that is Alanis's fault, of course. And regardless, this album is fantastic.

beautiful!

I will not be writing reviews here 4/5.

4/5

When I was a kid, I climbed a tree and found a cassette tape strewn among the branches. With great concern, I checked the desecrated cartridge. To this day, I remember, it was Jagged Little Pill. I always think of that day whenever I hear any song by Alanis. My gut tells me the dude from Full House was the culprit.

Great album 4/5

the dream of the 90s is alive in this album

Still quite good

Täielik isikualbum. Alanisi vokaalid sobivad rokialbumile küll ja see mulle kuidagi meenutab mingit midwest suburban keskeakriisi. Aga heas mõttes. Siin mõned ikoonilised lood ka, nagu "You Oughta Know" ja "Ironic". Mulle see stiil 100% ei meeldi, aga isikupära ja energiat on palju. 3.6/5

Very good. Awesome voice. I love the attitude and power in all of the songs.

nice, i generally liked it. she's very cute in the ironic music video. faves: right through you, forgiven, wake up

Wat 90s rock zou moeten zijn, zo veel bangers

I mean, the massive critical acclaim it has received wasn't for nothing. What an excellent trip of an album this is. It just doesn't take me to that amazing place for me. It really falls just short of the maximum rating. 4/5

Knew I knew a few songs here. Didn't know I knew nearly all of them. Really striking and engaging lyrics throughout. Shorty goes hard.

It's a great mix of post-grunge pop rock sounds without any songs feeling weak. A very good record in my book. Favorite Songs: You Oughta Know ; Hand in My Pocket ; You Learn ; Head Over Feet ; Ironic

Datado da melhor forma possível, o suco do alt rock dos anos 90 +Forgiven -head over feet

Took me back to the late 1900s lots of memories with the radio singles and discovered some gems in the rest of the album. There was a song where the lyics weren't in time/melodic and threw off the vibe for me. But as I recall at the time a lot of female singer/songwriters would have that "one weird song"

Tem todos os bangers

3.7 Can honestly say before this I couldn't name you a song by her yet despite that three of these songs were extremely familiar, fair play. It's quite decent angsty teen pop/rock, set the groundwork for even popper shite that came after (*cough* Avril). There are some good tracks in here away from the hits, I particularly liked the opener and closer. However, the vocals do slightly grate in parts, that 'voice' that's put on happens a bit too frequently. Still, it's probably one of the better pop albums (if you can call it that?) that have appeared on this list. Probably because at it's heart it leans heavily rock, but still, can see why it's here.

So good

лучик света в тёмном царстве

Already heard, own on CD, one of my most played. Love 'You Oughta Know' 8/10

Record label executives have now realized that confessional songs "by girls for girls" are highly monetizable, and Gracie Abrams and Olivia Rodrigo have become a cloying tide. Surprisingly, this wasn't always the case. Alanis Morissette made a deeply personal album, combining lyrics about friendship, betrayal, parental expectations, and the ability to find joy on an empty wallet with a mix of grunge, shoegaze, country, and drum machines, and no one wanted to release it. Madonna's recently founded label, Maverick, took a risk, and it paid off — many found a personal connection in these songs, and the album sold incredibly well. Yes, some might find Alanis's voice offensive, and perhaps the album is heavily overproduced (as was the fashion in the 90s, trying to cram too much into the sound), but it was with this album that the artists began to talk about life with their listeners. And, of course, with the female listeners.

Iconic

cheesy. dated. but somehow still refreshing

Great Album already knew a few of the songs on it but listened to this back to back and outta know is such a banger. Great listen.

Qpdddddd, ya he escuchado muchas de estas canciones en soundtracks

Very important album and trailblazer for women in music as a confessional writer. The rawness and emotion is real. Great album however never personally connected with it, but was a huge. Sold 70 million copies. One of the great breakup records with Adele 21 and Rumours.

conocía las conocidas, no sabia que conocía varias de las otras del album. Siento que si conocia más de ella en el lolla el año pasado hubiera disfrutado mucho más su show

Angry jilted girl album. Nicely done and a classic.

So 90s.

Great classical alternative rock album.

The Apple Music summary for this album says that everybody has their favorite moment on it, but I’m not sure that’s true for me. I respect her vision and the massive success she achieved, but I never crave it in the way I do with my five star entries. I do think it is interesting to remember how ubiquitous it was though. I think the only equivalents were albums by Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, or Taylor Swift… all folks who had previous celebrity and huge promotional budgets. Everyone knew all the songs, everyone had opinions about her, and it seemed that everyone owned the album. Just an enormous impact for a female singer-songwriter — she cleared a path for so many others to follow.

Classic album

⭐⭐⭐⭐- Jämnt album utan riktiga bottennapp och full med radiohits från 90-talet. Har en känsla av att albumet förlorar lite på att man hört många av spåren väldigt många gånger. Dock håller det ihop väl och även om produktionen andas väldigt mycket 90-tal så tycker jag inte det känns så daterat. Om jag ska vara lite kritisk så kan jag tycka att anslaget blir lite enformigt när man lyssnar på hela albumet rakt igenom, kan ha att göra med Alanis röst och sätt att sjunga. Får en 4a för en jämnheten men en svag 4a för att det är lite för långt (hade vunnit på att plocka bort några spår typ Wake up) och att det blir lite enformigt som helt album. Bäst är Perfect, Hand in my pocket, Mary Jane, Ironic och You oughta know

1. You Oughta Know 2. Head Over Feet 3. Hand in My Pocket

Awesome album, love her voice

4.5

I'll listen again.

If I’m feeling a little breaking bad-y I’d definitely listen to it

I don't think this actually sounds all that dated. I hear the 90s elements but some of it's definitely pulling from before then and I can hear a few things where she's ahead of the curve. The album's more varied than it gets credit for. Hearing righteous anger like You Oughta Know and then a perfect little pop song like Head Over Feet is a nice range, especially from an artist barely out of high school. The only thing holding this back for me is that it's...is overproduced the right word? Mixed oddly? I'm looking through Glen Ballard's production discography and I don't think the approach works here. The instruments kind of muddle together and her voice gets lost in some songs. Also still not really a fan of Ironic. A lot of the reviews left for the album on here are absolutely from dudes you wouldn't trust around an unguarded drink

I knew a lot more of these tunes than I thought I did!

Still a good album

It’s considered a classic for a reason. Alt rock cornerstone with strong pop senseabilities . Alanis walked so Paramore, Olivia Rodrigo etc could run. (Think all three are great) Other than that only other thought is head over feet really *really* sounds like Today by The Smashing Pumpkins +: Mary Jane

This was quite an odd and interesting album. I am SHOCKED that is was one of the biggest selling albums of the 90s! Apart from unconventional lyrics and maybe slightly odd singing, it doesn't strike me as THAT different or amazing of an album. It is certainly good, certainly influential.

Tää toimittelee vuodesta toiseen. Jotenkin aina morisette jäänyt muiden aikansa ilmiöiden taakse omalla kuuntelulistalla. Jospa sitä enemmänkin antaisi taas hälle aikaa omissa korvissa

Ihan pirteetä settiä, en tiedä olinko kuullut joskus jopa koko levyn kun kaikki biisit oli etäisesti tuttuja. Pari muniinpuhaltelubiisiä rikkoi vähän kokonaisuutta. 3,5/5

Niijoo tää levy. On kyl monta hyvää veisua ja hyvää menoo. Välillä ahistaa, kun on niin taskulaskinmeno ja kuuluu semmonen kaiku mikä nykymusassakin on tuotannon suhteen. Onneks ollaan vielä niin luomujen äärellä, ettei sitä oo täysin kekattu ja meno pysyy jiirissä. Yhteen biisiin on saatu red hotti sili pepperiä mukaan ja sen kyl kuulee beissiraidasta. Periaatteessa varmaan aika kolmonen, mut otetaan nyt iso nelonen välillä kun tää varmaan sen ansaitsee ja ei sitä keppanaakaan aina vihti litkiä.

Pitkästä aikaa tämän parissa. Olipas kyllä hyvä! Hittien lisäksi myös muuten toimittelee.

10/10 👅 hand in my pocket

Almost 5, very good. Maybe because lately I feel like an angry chick 😁

Plutôt sympa

Good. I liked All I Really Want and You Oughta Know.

3.5

One of my aunt’s favorite albums. A nice refresher after the pile of dad rock we got. #momrock core

Such a banger. Love the way Alanis sings and the songs all have something to say.

Iconic album, but definitely sounds aged. Not saying it's bad or anything, it's just that this is a uniquely 90s-00s sound and it does not hold up to todays industry standards.

It's showing it's age, but there's no doubt how influential and cool this album was in the nineties.

Classique 90s, surprenamment je reconnais au moins 4 chansons alors que je m’attendais à 2. Je devrais y revenir, je ne suis pas sur d’aimer. Tout de suite après l’album, Spotify a fait jouer Breeders. ÇA, c’est du vrai rock au féminin!

We played the hell out of this one in the record store back when it came out. Haven't really listened to it since then, so it was a nice revisit. Maybe not a perfect album, but I've always enjoyed the pop princess grows up and gets angry vibe of it.

I think I bought this on CD but I haven't played it for years. The songs still stand up. Still pretty good.

Lauren Boebert wishes she could be Alanis at a theater. Likes: All I Really Want; You Outta Know; Hand In My Pocket; Head Over Feet; Ironic

Pretty good album, some definite bangers

This is a fun one to start with. Very 90s Canada.

Man, wie komisch doch die 90er waren: Hitsingle über Scheiß Exs mit dem Gitarristen und Bassisten der wohl most promiscuous Bands der frühen 90er, gleichzeitig total weirde und total glatte Songs von einer total quackigen und banalen, aber irgendwie deshalb authentischen Sängerin. 30 Jahre später klingt 37% aller female fronted Popmusik wieder so. Die zweite Hälfte des Albums flacht schon ab, aber dennoch starkes Stück

Pretty cool. Standout tracks: You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic

Loved this album when it came out. Definitely was one of my first forays into kind of angsty rock.

Rasende kvinde som udtrykker en masse følelser jeg forbinder med dårlige følelser, men i det mindste så får hun det derud. Der er også selvindsigt igennem pladen, så det er jo ikke fordi hun er totalt delusional eller noget. Det er godt hun er ærlig og er i sine følelser og hun gør det iøvrigt på en sej måde. Det blev et kæmpe kulturfænomen og formelskiftende lydskabelon for 90'er alternativ rock og fremad for kvinder. Perfekt blanding mellem det poppede og post grungede fordi det stadig har guitarene men også har strukturerne. Jeg kunne mærke attituden og jeg synes det var virkelig god musik

Such an iconic album, with iconic lyrics and an iconic voice of all time. The biting snarl of her voice on You Oughta Know cannot be replicated. I can’t believe that song in general - it would be just as shocking nowadays. The unadulterated hatred!! If I were David coulier I’d have gone into witness protection. Also Head over Feet made me nostalgic for the 2000s.

Really liked it

Soy yo o tiene una onda medio a shakira en sus inicios? (o bien la relación sería al revés) Igual es muy icónico, me hace querer vivir la experiencia de vivir en los 2000.

Pretty good. Even if most of the songs I like I'd only listen to on their own instead of diving again into the album, I do think it's a pretty solid 90s album and I love Alanis' vocal style.

While the albums exudes 90's vibe, several songs have really stood through the test of time and could be deemed as 90's classics.

Such a good album!!! I've always enjoyed her music and used to jam out to the hits from this album as a kid. I'm delighted to have a reason to listen through the full thing, and even happier to discover the whole album is a banger!

Some real bops

I don’t have a lot of experience with Alanis Morisette’s music, but I did have to play Uninvited at uni earlier this year (which is a very cool song). I definitely feel like I should’ve checked out this album earlier, so I’m excited to get into it. • All I Really Want is a fun opening track. Alanis sounds like she’s having fun recording the vocals, she’s hitting a lot of really high notes and making it sound effortless. • I thought I didn’t know You Oughta Know, but I definitely recognise the chorus. I really like this one • Hand in My Pocket is another song I didn’t realise I knew. Alanis’s vocals remind me of Bjork at times • Forgiven is another song I enjoyed quite a bit • None of the tracks so far have been bad, but I feel like you can tell which songs were singles almost immediately • I like the bass during the solo in You Learn. Also, sneaky little album title drop • Head Over Feet is really good, it’s in the running for my favourite. • I actually don’t think I’ve properly heard Ironic before, despite hearing about it a ton. I preferred a lot of the other tracks so far over it I’m glad I’ve finally listened to this album, since I’ve heard so much about it. It’s a good listen, and it’s very 90’s. A lot of the singles were familiar to me, but usually only the choruses. Nothing really stood out to me as bad here, it’s just a pretty solid listen. Favourite song: Head Over Feet

High 3? I enjoy a good bit of the music but vocally it irks me from time to time

I liked it more than I thought I was going to, actually! It started out, and I was like, "oh maybe I'm not really an Alanis Morissette fan" because she (her vocals especially) just seems like an acquired taste, but I guess all you need is a third to a half of an album to acquire it because I was hooked pretty solidly by halfway through.

The antithesis of one-hit wonder, there were so many recognizable songs on this record! Favourite track: Forgiven

Absolutely rocks. Ironic, you oughta know, hand in my pocket.

Spiky little album 4

Who says personal drama doesn't make for great music? Not Alanis and definitely not the guy that this is about. I can't blame her though because it's happened to me. You oughta know is probably the best "hell has no fury as a woman scorned"song there is.

I remember finding out that my brother bought this album, and thinking he was lame. But listening now, I couldn’t believe how many of the track I seemed to know, and know well! Granted they were overplayed into oblivion back then, but it was fun reminiscing. Can’t say I loved this album but there were plenty of enjoyable hits here, and I feel content landing at a solid 4/5

Great album. Brought back many memories.

There should be more albums about failed relationships with Dave Coulier

Peak 90s. Loved it.

My wife loves this album, I really enjoy when she turns it on and how much we get to enjoy it together.

I don't have a ton to add, but I've always seen this as an iconic album and it didn't disappoint.

I think Alanis has a really fun voice and cadence to imitate. You’ll never watch Full House the same way again! Here’s a really, I don’t want to say interesting, but weird bit of personal lore. Circa spring 2015 I listened to this album a lot while playing old ratchet and clank games. This week i have also been playing ratchet and clank games and this album came up and it was a very specifically nostalgic experience.

I enjoyed this a good amount - didn’t expect to like it as much as i did.

#66/1001 🇨🇦 I know every word of this album. It was huge at the time and the songs have stood up well in my opinion. Some will hate the idea of it being here but i'd rather listen to it than the 20 minute long twoddle Rush track that i got yesterday. Best Tracks: Head over Feet, You Oughta Know, Ironic.

First time listen From the first seconds of this album there is zero doubt of the era that it was made in. It's got the silly goofy guitars, the cheesy lyrics, the whole nine yards, but it also has an earnestness to it that I found charming. Made me want to wear a bedazzled pair of flaired jeans and a crop top with a flower on it Favorite tracks: You Oughta Know, One Hand in my Pocket, Ironic Least favorite: Head over feet 3.5/5

ironic com certeza umas da musica com mais intensidade de sentimentos, o clipe demonstra mt como a artista se espresa com sua arte.

Absolutely the best one I've heard thus far. Vibey, groovey, i liked it

IS SHE PERVERTED LIKE ME?!?!?!!

Iconic, ironic, and sustaining. Unique sound and album that drives all the way through. Some really strong songs, most are at least decent.

De zang in het eerste nummer heeft iets raar. Alanis vanuit het linker oordopje begint op net een ander moment dan de Alanis vanuit het rechter oordopje. Het is op zich knap, want je verwacht daarvan een Double Date effect, maar dat heeft Alanis blijkbaar opgelost. Het effect is via oordopjes het grootst natuurlijk, net te groot zelfs. Dus ik besluit het thuis via de laptop verder te luisteren. Daar pakt het beter uit. Verder is mevrouw al wel bekend. Ik zou haar op een onbewaakt ogenblik zo kunnen noemen als een typische '90s radio-plaat. Toch doe ik Alanis dan tekort. Ja, deels is het typisch. Maar het is toch ook echt een eigen geluid. Dat zit met name in haar stemgeluid, waarbij ze steeds een beetje varieert met het gebruik daarvan. De inzet van een lichte trilling heeft wel haar voorkeur. Mooi is dat ze duidelijk een flinke stemkracht heeft, maar eigenlijk nooit over the top gaat. Ze sluit vooral aan bij wat muzikaal nodig is. Dat is een kracht op zichzelf.

Nice to listen to this all the way through! Well put together album, pretty iconic for the 90s! Some catchy bops and A's voice is very cool

No bad songs on this record. I was never into ‘Ironic’ but it wasn’t a bad song at all. A great 90s time capsule.

As soon as I realized this was the album with all the Alanis songs I knew I got so excited! Starting off with All I really Want! A very vibey track for lack of a better term. You Oughta Know is always a great track to listen to. It’s one that pops up occasionally and I’m always happy when it does. Perfect was a track I’d never heard before but I really liked it! The lyrics really resonated with me. One hand in my pocket is such a classic that my parents would play all the time. It’s so interesting as it’s a hopeful track, but it doesn’t feel like one. Right Through You was really fun and Forgiven was just an awesome time. You Learn was not my favourite type of track, as I didn’t love the melody. Head over Feet is my favourite on this album. I genuinely love this track. Mary Jane was sweet. It had a nice flow to it. Ironic is always an awesome track. Love it to bits. I pick up another lyric every time I listen. Not the Doctor and Wake up closed the album nicely. Overall, a good listen. 4/5 ⭐️ 67/1089

3.7

say it! spray it!

After seeing Alanis Morissette as my next album, I was pleasantly surprised. Most know her for Ironic, including me. But, as I listened, this album was definitely for its time. 90’s rock, adolescent and teenager beats and lyrics all brought this album together. It all blended and shifted in style and many techniques. The production wasn’t extremely clear, but wasn’t bad for its style. With some really good standout tracks, it got a solid feel to it. But, even though each song was good, it felt a bit long. Close to the end, it felt a little bit interminable. Still, this album is pretty good, and keeps its shape through the entirety of her debut. I don’t hate it, I don’t love it! Best tracks: You Oughta Know, Perfect, Hand In My Pocket, Mary Jane. 4/5!

HIIIII5IVE

So dramatic, so blunt and sometimes crass. I love it. The mixing is weird and I wish it was smoother, there’s a few forgettable tracks, but this is no doubt a classic

emo shakira?

so good!

An interesting album that was clearly helped along by the zeitgeist of the alternative music revolution of the nineties, like Nirvana before her - these songs have an uncanny sense of melody buried under the lesser singing and intense emotion. It is engaging and abrasive, a neat feat for an album full of dark confessions.

This was everywhere in 95, but wow these songs hold up pretty well. Pure pop rock goodness here.

Fun

4.2 not my cuppa

An iconic record, Alanis's voice is so unique and jarring. Yet each song on this album was enjoyable and indicative of the attitudes of the 90s. I can't say that I always reach for this one, but I won't skip any songs.

Definitely a 4 star. This is a really good album

Really are some big hits on this one, very 90s sounding. A pretty good listen

Kind of a cool experience listening to this with my daughter, who had discovered her own brand of music in this vein (though not nearly as good). Good trip down memory lane here.

A nasal voice with punch and fervour. Some boppers and a 90s energy. Ironic snappy but it seems to overshadow the remainder Picks : You Ought a Know / Ironic

Been meaning to listen to this one for a while now and I quite enjoyed it. I already really liked You Oughta Know and Hand In My Pocket, but the rest of the album is also solid. Favorite track - Hands in My Pocket Least Favorite Track - Perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Favourites: 1. Wake Up 2. Forgiven 3. You Oughta Know

a canadian classic!!

Had always heard songs from this album in passing, but never considered sitting down to truly listen to them together. The whole album is, for lack of a better word really, powerful. Not to be on-the-nose, but every song in this album oozed the duality of being female & feminine, but with the loud overtone of not being reserved. Expression & freedom to be able to express yourself, unforgivingly, was a theme that stuck with us throughout listening. There was not a song we didn't like. The way her voice is both loud, echoing & unreserved is fantastic to hear. It is never grating & shakes you when you allow yourself to be taken in with it. Alanis Morissette's voice is really unique, in our eyes, in both her lyrical writing & her powerful sound. Truly was a surprise to realize the songs we had heard playing in stores, radios, cars, gas stations etc, when we were a child, are from an album so much a statement about so many things. Almost a protest album. Absolutely spectacular & thankful for having listened to it.

At first I was not feeling this album. The first song was kind of grating, I lied the first song is pretty good after like 2 listens. Sometimes you have to let stuff simmer but as the album continues I came to enjoy her voice. The lyrics are punchy and full of emotion and personality. The album is so 90s reminiscent and gives the feeling of coming of age.

Big favourite from my teen years. We had it in the car on tape. Good memories of driving around Cornwall listening it with my mum and brother. Recently rediscovered it. Loads of top quality songs that have aged very well, thank you very much.

You must have really loved that someone and got the heart broken to write such a lyrics, quite honest and painful as well

I listened to this as a teen. I think my aunty Vees had a copy. I always found her accent grinding. But I am appreciative of the strong storytelling. I was surprised to find I knew all the words.

pretty good; lots of good hits but not great as a cohesive whole.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this as I remembered it as a very angry album. Some clever lyrics and a well deserved second listen .

A dose of energy I absolutely needed for a Friday morning. Alanis' voice is spectacular, genuinely such a fun listen. Feels like I've been transported to the 90s :)

all i really want: not a massive fan of the vocals tbh background instruments good the lyrics are quite good tho, but i just can't take the song as seriously as i wanted to 67/100 you oughta know: i like the drum beat better vocals imo 77/100 perfect: good vocals, nice relaxing song while still being clearly rock 79/100 hand in my pocket: overall pretty average alternative rock, but still quite good imo, doesn't beat some of the others on here 73/100 right through you: definitely has more energy than some of the others on here, and i like that 81/100 forgiven: probably my favourite so far, definitely sounds harder than some of the other songs, which is something i like usually. i like the combination of softer and harder parts of the song, i also like the powerful vocals 85/100 you learn: not one of my favourites as it has a slightly more pop sound, i do like the pop/rock elements of the song towards the chorus though 74/100 head over feet: one of my other favourites on here, blends pop and rock elements better than the previous one 82/100 edit: the harmonica section drags it down to an 80 mary jane: not a massive fan of this style of song, but the vocals are great 73/100 ironic: i think ive heard this one yes i have and it's alright for this album 78/100 not the doctor: pretty good song overall, it's quite chill imo, but not revolutionary as usual the vocals make everything better 75/100 wake up: honestly quite a good outro song, quite similar to a lot of the others on here 76/100 overall: definitely feels dated and of its time, if it was released today it wouldn't be rated very highly by critics. but i can understand how many people have a deep emotional connection to this album and this era of music. as someone who's coming from harder rock music, it can be a nice relief from that if you want something else. i might be coming back to this album occasionally 78/100

7/10

Great album

Great listening journey overall. I loved the vocals and the raw emotion that you can feel in almost all the tracks. The rock elements also complement her voice very well but the acoustic moments still provide a great dynamic. 8/10, Favorite Song: Forgiven

(5/7) some real bangers on here but you have to be in the right mood

It's so easy to hear why this was the cultural juggernaut that it was: yes, the songs are insanely catchy but there's also an emotional depth to them that tends to be missing from most popular music. The vocals are delivered with a bite to them that matches the general vibe of the lyrics, and the distorted guitars and trip hop-adjacent percussion just accentuates the overall mood that Morissette is trying to convey with her words. Fantastic stuff.

7.5/10, I knew more songs than I thought and really enjoyed it, put it on my record list!

Went into this album knowing very little about Alanis Morissette but I was pleasantly surprised. While I felt as though the album definitely got stronger as it went on there was a nice variation of tracks and styles which was maybe as much just me growing into the album as much as anything. I enjoyed the instrumentation of most of the tracks as it felt like there was actually depth to the majority of them. Favourite Song: Ironic Least Favourite Song: All I Really Want

iconic. 90s. real.

Quite a fun album, lots of variety. Didn't really know what to expect because I felt like it's just a name I've heard of but not only did I recognise a few songs I liked many more 4

Heard this loads of times. Listening again, I was stuck by how much angrier and more immediately accessible it is, compared with her wordy and introspective later albums.

“Every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back, I hope you feel it.” I wasn’t alive at the time, but when I think about what music in the mid-90s sounded, this is one of the first examples that comes to mind. It reaches for the pop and rock sounds of the time and fuses them into one sturdy, furious record. So I guess it would be correct to call it “dated”, but I don’t think that’s a detractor here. It could use some editing, and I could see her voice being controversial (I know somebody who actually recoils at the first verse of “You Oughta Know”), but this has entered the classic anon for a reason. Packed with bangers and truly scorching kiss-offs.

Jagged Little Pill is a really beautiful album. The songwriting on it is really amazing, as is the music. It's no wonder why it has so many hits. Alanis is perfect for the role with her voice and style of singing, being angry at times and singing beautifully at others. While I mainly love the hits off of the album, I also loved the sound of "Wake Up", but "Hand in My Pocket" was a very close runner-up. Favorite Song: "Wake Up"

Favorite songs: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Perfect, Hand in My, You Learn, Head Over Feet, Pocket, Ironic High percentage of songs that hold up. Balances well between a lot of emotions.

Bom álbum. Vai ser 4/5, mas um pouco inseguro. Se o álbum fosse mais curto uns 15 minutos seria melhor. No entanto, todas as músicas são boas. Todas as músicas parecem, pelo menos, quase ao nível do hit "Ironic".

Some very obvious bangers but good to listen to all of it! She’s great

I didn't love this album when it came out because it was one you couldn't get away from on the radio. With time I've grown to enjoy it. It's remarkable how solid the album is considering it was written when she was only 20-21. Favorite songs: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, You Learn, Wake Up

Apart from 'You Oughta Know', which is and will remain an absolute banger, the songs that are always on the radio from this album are not the best ones. I'd forgotten how good 'Forgiven' is. Overall, it sounds very much like a 90s album and doesn't sound as fresh and rebellious as it did to 14-year-old me all those years ago so I should give it a 3 but all those years scream-singing "AND ARE YOU THINKING OF ME WHEN YOU FFFFUCK HER" have to be worry another star.

крутой альт слегка инди хз, нормально

Yeah dude

Great debut album that contains a number of hit single, but in reality any track could have green a single.

4.61

Great Album from a great singer.

Listening session: february 6th, while going for a walk and while making breakfast Listened to before: listened to some songs before Thoughts: as a child I always screamed along to You Oughta Know with my mom in the car and to this day that’s the only correct way to listen to Alanis Morissette Favourite tracks: You Oughta Know, Forgiven & Ironic

nostalgic!

Ik had hier heel toevallig een cd van boven liggen, maar ik vind het een prachtig begin voor dit avontuur!

For en hitparade! Herlig 90-talls, kanskje også litt for 90-talls til tider.

Cool look into a great artist that I haven't listened to enough!

Some bangers on this. Good album.

8/10

Damn, what a good album. So many bangers!

Under-appreciated by me for all these years. I always knew some of these were bangers, but I never really gave them a listener’s chance. It’s now a part of my collection.

Love this album. Gives me memories of GCSE English Best-ought to know 4.87/5

vibes

I don't think I have ever listened to this album in full, so I am only aware of the hits that were played on the radio. It starts off very well with All I really want. On the whole the album has a great tempo, with lots of really good songs. I cannot fault it. great instrumentation and vocally very good with angry resentful lyrics. Forgiven is probably the standout song. Would I want to own it? probably not, so it's getting 4 stars

Inside me there are two wolves. One loves rap and rock. The other one loves funk and jazz. Both fucking love white girl music from the 90s and 00s. Honestly surprisingly good instrumentals. "You oughta know" has some stanky bass and other songs have some genuinely good guitar riffs and tight drum sections. Although I dont appreciate the balads, most other songs are pretty catchy and fun. However if not for the legendary "Ironic" this record most likely wouldn't be on this list. Its strong shoulders carry the weight of the ballads pretty wel though. 7/10

“Is this album good?” Yes yes yes yes yes

Truly an astounding amount of bangers for one album. Love Alanis' voice, feel like it has only gotten better with age. The force she can push some of her words out with is insane. Also, I think more slap bass in here than I remember? Listened on bus commute and then walking a couple blocks in bitter snowy cold, unbothered

Classic 90s album, Alanis' voice isn't my favourite, but she did showed a lot of personality - not just rage here.

Classic album. Tons of great songs

I think that side 1 of this album is an easy 5/5 with so many great songs. Of course You Oughta Know and Hand in My Pocket are classics, but I am also a really big fan of All I Really Want. Unfortunately side 2 doesn't really do much for me. I've never been a big fan of ironic (not that it is bad), and all the other songs are just ok. High 4.

Pura nostalgia.Puro suco dos anos 90. Ouviria mais vezes

4/5 We grew up together metaphorically.

Familiar territory, though I've never listened to the full album but half of it were radio play singles. I enjoyed the tracks I was familiar with and enjoyed the tracks that were new to me. Would probably include this on my own 1001 albums list.

Crazy bc I’m playing Bella in Jagged little pill this summer! The og album hits way harder tho

i luv it

Really great. Never listened until now.

I love Alanis Morissette!!!

Perfect time for this when it was released. Surprisingly it holds up well, I had not listened to it in a very long time. The fingerprints of this are all over a generation or two of woman singer/songwriters that were inspired to believe its ok to have raw emotion. Alanis has a very take it or leave it voice and vocal style, Ill take it. 3.67 rounded up to 4.

Iconic

Fire fav songs: all i really want, forgiven, head over feet, wake up

Well, isnt this iconic?! ;) Great album. Alanis has so much to say on this one and does it with a lot of power. ironic is the best song. you oughta know, hand in my pocket and you learn are all great as well.

I was going to go with three stars with this one as I never bought it at the time but everything about it is iconic so there you go.

Nice. A 4 or 5.

8 / 10

Great stuff

Such a distinctive vocal style it feels like it begs to be mimicked or mocked, but the more I listened the more I found it hypnotic in a way.

The album that Miley Cyrus wishes she could make Refreshing and timeless, I don't particularly enjoy her voice, but it's astounding that she packed this much conflict and wisdom into an album she produced when she was 21.

Very witty and snarky. Has a sound totally of its time but still great. Some fantastic breakup songs.

Lyrically impressive. The 90s sound and angst definitely age this album

The singles really make this album. The rest is still good but feels like at times it's just filler now but at the time this was a pretty breakthrough album so gets an extra star. The singles are absolute classics though.

banger no skips

Full of hits There's an incredibly beautiful undercurrent of aggression which sits so nicely against the voice. You Learn banger, Head over Feet great.

This is VERY 90s. It could only have been made in the angst-filled post-Nirvana climate of the mid-90s, and could only have been successful in that time period. But it is still a good album with several classic tracks. It's not quite a masterpiece, but it works as a time capsule and as an alt-pop album. This is an essential listen, if for no reason other than how much it encapsulates the musical zeitgeist of the day. It's not the best lyrically, but it's undeniably hooky. In all, we have a good if dated album that definitely has a case for being here.

Probably one of the best debut albums released by a male or female artist. Straight out of the gate with you learn which is a real statement of intent. The album never loses steam and is full of great rock records. Quite possible that Alanis shot her shot her though as nothing really came up to these heady heights following this. Still on heavy rotation amongst a lot of 40 to 50 year old now I guess.

Knallbra. Synger med følelse. Gjennomført catchy.

Pretty good. Some interesting themes and songwriting, occasionally let down by fairly cookie cutter wall of noise 90s instrumentation. Her voice is really amazing but the odd enunciation sometimes takes away from the weight of the storytelling

Fantastic album! In my mind it was an angry album, but that's just because of You Oughta Know. This has really high highs, and its all so undeniably catchy. 9/10

More like Alanis more sets.

An alt pop 90s gem with hits for days. 3.75/5.

Sounds very 90s, but there's not really a bad track on here. She's pissed off and it shows, at times it's almost riot grrl music for the masses. There is a reason this was such a cultural moment and this still holds up today. 4.5/5

the genre is angry women and I’m eating this shit up

Such raw emotions, so powerfully (or gently) and articulately delivered. The angst of alternative with the hit power of pop. A favorite then and just as strong now.

Kinda like "country-hop" as I like to call it. 4/5

Iconic voice and some really great songs on this album. I didn't listen to it when it came out but it still feels nostalgic somehow.

Alanis's voice is still incredible.

a little long but a few strong songs.

She cooked

So many good, iconic songs on this album Favorites: You oughta know Forgiven Not the doctor 4.3 stars 8.5/10

Great album. Helped Gen X ladies get through breakups and made Gen X men. wonder if their girlfriends would go down on them in the theater. Although, I still prefer her 1991 self-titled debut.

My first impression was recognizing You Outta Know as the karaoke song Kevin sang at Jim's house party in the second season of the office. Great deep cut there that amplifies the joke of Kevin singing that song just a little bit. This album feels very 90's in a good way. The only song I can truly say that I knew going in was Ironic and it's probably for a good reason as I'd say it's the strongest track. There were some blemishes. Some spots were a bit pitchy and without rhythm. Nonetheless, overall solid album.

IRONIC JUMPSCARE?! anyways great album

Had never heard of her, and it was a pleasant surprise.

Me encanto, es un álbum que escucharía. Mis favoritas fueron Ironic y Right through you. Todo el album esta bueno, menos head over feet que fue la única que no me gusto. Lo escuché con mamá porque venimos volviendo de floripa y me sorprendió cuando le dijo que era uno de sus álbumes favoritos cusndo era joven, se sabia todas las letras lol. Eso lo hace un poco más cool.

some solid tracks in this record, it´s a bit dated but i think it stills holds up

This album was omnipresent when it came out. She's got a lovely voice, and there are some great songs on this record.

"This is what I imagine the 90s sounded like!" - it was, I remember. 'Ironic' was on endless radio rotation here in the UK, though the song seems largely forgotten these days. This was a fun listen that made me feel like I was in an angsty 90s teen drama (a welcome escape). I'm not really into singer-songwriter types (preferring bands or instrumentals), but I appreciate how earnest Alanis comes across in her lyrics and performances. Many modern pop artists lean on basic, sterile beats and loops, but here the music is quirky and varied, the fuzzy guitars rock when needed, and the production gives everything a warm, organic feel. It should lose a star for failing to cite anything properly ironic in its big single of the same name, but at least that gave us all Ed Byrne's amusing takedown.

Love this album, can’t go too wrong with 90s 😛😛😛😛

A cultural juggernaut and part of the firmament of what made the 90s the 90s, listening to this with fresh ears I'm neither blown away or disappointed, it's every bit as enjoyably extra as I remember.

This has some great songs where the raspy vocals are a good fit, and a few where... not so much so. Still a solid album.

Was pleasantly surprised at how well this album has held up. Still a great record. Highlights: "You Oughta Know", "You Learn" and "Hand in My Pocket"

Amazing vocals, that are not for everyone but notheless it’s worth the try. This album feels powerful, sincere and vulnerable at the same time in a way that hasn’t aged. No wonder why it’s considered a classic.

With all of the super recognizable singles on here, plus some good deep tracks on here, a 3.5 is getting rounded up to a 4

Se la rifó como las grandes, buen álbum, se siente la nostalgia de los 90s Mucho impacto para la chaviza de esa época de fijo Fue headliner para Woodstock '99

I have so much nostalgia for this album that’s it’s impossible to be objective. It’s raw, it’s petty, and it’s quintessentialy 90’s. Yeah, it’s dated and some of the songs are cheesy but my memories of belting out “You Oughta Know” as a hormonal 14 year old are priceless.

She is not my favourite vocalists but there are some great songs here.

Took my right back to the mid 90s, and surprised me how well it holds up. I really wish her career had continued on the trajectory set by this album, but happy to return to such a solid pop entry.

In hindsight this feels extremely 90s but that isn't a mark against it. I almost wanna say some songs on this album feel overproduced, but really the snarling, ugly, personal rawness of the lyrics are what shine through it all. It feels like the snap back from a disaffected 90s woman who was told to smile more one too many times and I live for it.

faves: forgiven hand in my pocket you oughta know
