Jagged Little Pill

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.

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.

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

4⭐️my dad said this is an iconic 90s album that the angry girls listened to (lol). I don’t identify as an angry girl but I DID enjoy listening to this songs I already knew: ironic, hand in my pocket fave new one(s): not the doctor

The hits are hitting

this is a breath of fresh air compared to what we’ve had recently

Loved the album!!! I had listened to it so much as a kid with mum so it brought back memories of us in the kitchen playing ‘Hand in my pocket’ and baking. 10/10 would listen to again.

C’était cool !

4/5

4/5 - Really iconic album - ironic, hand over feet, hand in my pocket

Quintessential nineties

Very unique vocals. You oughta know in both versions is great and ironic too. 4/5

Incredible how many iconic songs came from debut album.

Cunt

A near perfect 90s album.

More of a 3.5/10 lots of hits just a good aul album. Bangers galore

This is so cool

Wowza! Lyrics hit hard. Shoutout kevin from the office. FO!

You oughta know this album is fantastic…don’t you think?

Classic 90’s Album.

A nice handful of songs that my mom used to listen to. Nostalgic.

4,5 stars I want to inject it into my veins

4.0

The part in the first song where it goes completely silent sold me.

Damn, still relatable

Très sympa mais un peu toujours pareil quand meme

Memories

Fine album of angsty pop rock songs. Still enjoyed the big hits too. Maybe a bit long.

An album for the 90s. genuinely still enjoy it a lot even thought all the singles got so much radio play

This one kind of falls in a guilty pleasure category for me. It has more than a few good songs and I think the playing on the album is quite good for the time period it came out. It is a great example of post-grunge 90's alt rock. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Definitely her finest effort. Saw her do the album live a couple years back and she's still amazing.

Good listen from start to finish. Alanis has a powerful voice.

I swear I went through this whole album saying "wait, I know that song" like 15 seconds in to every song. I blame my mom, like I do with my taste in 80s pop. She always liked, in her own words, "women that aren't alto singers that sound like every other alto singer." I'm pretty sure I already heard this entire album before I got it today because of long car rides with her autoplaying random songs. Good to know I already liked most of these songs before going into the album. The ones I haven't heard already like Mary Jane or Forgiven ended up being weaker than something like You Oughta Know, but You Oughta Know is also one of the best songs ever, so that's like comparing the calorie count of a chicken wing and a chunk of uranium. I'd still just keep the really spiteful energy of the louder songs of the album compared to the softer ones.

Still love it

Smá kjánahrollur stundum yfir textunum en það er samt bara væbið hennar svo það er fyrirgefið

Heavy hitters. Fílaði þetta. Alanis er með sérstakt sánd sem er frábært á 40 mínútna plötu en ef hún er lengri en það er það smááá pirrandi. Fær samt fjórar!

Album full of bangers. Her voice really don't do it for me but there's no denying the place of this album in rock history. 4.

Genre: Pop Rock I liked this a fair bit more than I expected to. One of the more popular breakup albums of all time, and just chock-full of hits, Jagged Little Pill is actually pretty darn enjoyable. Beyond the harmonica (which seems so out of place), Alanis' unique vocal tones and keen pop sensibilities really give this album its own type of flavor. You Oughta Know alone puts this thing into the annals of 90s history, but Ironic and Head over Feet are also great songs that were big radio jams. I will definitely give this a spin in mixed company, as this is both inoffensive and very enjoyable. 4/5

Alanis walked so Avril could run

Oh she was fire. Giving girl teenage angst in the best way. Considering adding some songs to my day to day playlist.

Speaking of nostalgiac sounds, this album contains 5 songs that instantly transport me back to being a kid in the car with mom. You Oughta Know is an all time 90s jam. Interesting fusion of light dance pop with a funky bass line. Hand in My Pocket is a kind of low-tempo sprawling step with some weirdly paced harmonica. You Learn. Head Over Feet. And Ironic is probably the biggest of them all. I liked these songs as a kid and still enjoy them today. Outside of the radio hits, this album is pretty soft and doesn't justify the near hour runtime. I think this falls around a high 3 / low 4 boundary. Going 4 because I think despite sounding very 90s, I think it has held up decently well and the hits are indisputably great.

I apologize Alanis I was not aware of your game and just how many hits were put out on this album. I remember listening to most of these songs on Friday nights at the Cape pool while trying my best not to be drowned by the kids who were 3 or 4 years older than me. Took me a minute to get into this album from the first song but it grew on me as it went. Then got bukkaked by familiar songs that I did not think I would ever hear again.

JAM of an album. Gives off some 90s angst perfectly. Was also really fun seeing her play a ton of these songs at Oceans Calling a few years ago. Still sounds amazing. Fun fact: Flea and Dave Navarro play bass and guitar on You Oughta Know Hand in My Pocket and Ironic are jams. Obviously the hits hit on here, but the other songs do a great job of showing her songwriting as well. Overall a really solid album. Not necessarily enough to get me to a 5 because it runs a bit long but will be back for the hits.

Ooh, 90s classic. More up my street

I really enjoyed her vocals!

A lot of emotion. I really liked "Ironic."

Nice

+ all i really want + you oughta know + perfect + forgiven + ironic + not the doctor

One of the most 90s things ever, from the semi-grungy guitars given a pop sheen to the subtly trip-hop drums to the yarling. The most positive post-grunge ever made, startled to learn Alanis Morissette is just like the only woman yarler, and that’s underselling how idiosyncratic her voice is unlike so many of the carbon copy dollar store Vedder and Weiland clones that would spring up in the coming years. Kinda Live Laugh Love energy on this sometimes but it’s whatever. Pretty Good.

Windows 95 CD-ROM core

To me this is what the project is all about. Listening to great albums you’ve never heard of, or in this case, never considered exploring in full. One of the pitfalls of radio hits is that they tend to flatten songs, when they’re overplayed and become the soundtrack to totally disparate life experiences. As a result, I can’t listen with much joy to “Ironic” and have almost as hard a time with “You Oughta Know.” Which meant that I never took the time to learn all the other great tracks on this record. Now I can build new associations with less saturated songs like the powerful opener “All I Really Want” or the harmonica-grunge of “Head over Feet.”

Definitely an album for the girls. This one hits so hard, Alanis knew what she was doing. Obviously, my favourites were You Oughta Know, Ironic, and Hand in My Pocket, these are the top songs for a reason. I'd give this a solid 8/10.

Really solid, genuinely quality 90s angst

This was my first time listening to Jagged Little Pill all the way through. I certainly already knew the ubiquitous hits, and lived through them, so I pretended that I was hearing them for the first time. To me, this album has insanely high peaks with the hits, but the lesser tracks do not do well to fill out the runtime. But those hits sail so high that they really bolster the whole thing. The sound is definitive 90s production. It's that post-grunge pop, with cliche distorted butt rock guitar and that dance breakbeat that I thought was a drum machine until I looked up to see they are apparently done by some session musicians. Not many dynamics here, just wall-of-sound broken up by some acoustic parts or stops and starts within the song. Surprisingly, "You Oughta Know" has Flea on bass, and Dave Navarro does some cliche crap on guitar too. However, Alanis' voice really is iconic, and her lyrics are far beyond her 19 years when she recorded this. The sentiments hold up, the female empowerment against the phonies and toxic male world, as a generalization which doesn't do justice to her unrelenting criticisms. But there are also love songs here and even softness and tons of personal vulnerability. She's well-deserving of the center stage as the driving force throughout. Are her voice and her delivery too gimmicky, too contrived, too sickeningly clever-- does it all get tiring? It's not my favorite but it's certainly interesting and fully developed, and by now I associate more with the nostalgia of the 90s.

Pieno di pezzi iconici, forse il mio preferito è head over feet. C’è il grandissimo taylor hawkins alla batteria (rip). Classico album pop rock anni 90

A caricature of 90s music, in a good way.

Fun.

I'm 7 years old. I'm sitting in the back of the family car as we're travelling to France for vacation. I'm eating a half molten piece of La vache qui rit looking at the passing cars while You Oughta Know plays. This was not the last time my parents put on the album while driving. I loathed the vocal parts. Now I've come to really enjoy them! I'm really digging the raw direct tone of the album. You Oughta Know is my favourite.

Plethora of songs one could listen on endless repeat. Would binge again.

I never appreciated as a kid just how angry and caustic this album is (when you only hear You Oughta Know on the radio/TV, you don't get any of the swearing). And yet, there's a really good range of songs on this album, it doesn't end up feeling one-note. Obviously this album has all of her unquestionable biggest hits, but I also discovered Forgiven to put on my playlist. This is a really good album!

I don't think Morisette has had much impact in Sweden, because it wasn't a name I recognized at first. Very nice album though! Ironic was the one song I had heard before (of course), but I liked You Oughta Know as well. Will try to listen to this album again when I'm less busy.

It is the 90s and I am wearing flannel. People are arguing about what is ironic on dial up internet. The Simpsons is still good. It is a simpler time and I am happy. (In real life I am five years old at this point and the 90s also sucked shut up a girl can dream)

Fantastic album, and definitely deserves to be on this list.

Not really my usual type of music, but I liked this. It's catchy and has a bit of depth to it, and she's got a great voice.

3.5/5

Very good album. We wore this out when it first came out. She is an angry 21 year old.

Every woman who was young in the 90s wore out this CD, thereby becoming confused about irony for the next couple of decades. Regardless, I still think these songs rock.

Gotta love the singles off this one; "All I Really Want" is almost sort of shoegazey, "You Oughta Know" is obviously an absolute classic, "Head Over Feet" invented the term "friend with benefits" (no seriously, look it up!), and "Ironic" is a fun one to shout along too if you get over yourself and avoid doing the whole "but that's not what irony is" routine. As someone who likes a lot of 90s indie but was not around for it, I can go read old discussions of the time and see that the tastemakers *hated* Jagged Little Pill. But from where I'm standing, it honestly doesn't sound that far off from those indie-approved bands? Honestly, I think it's really cool that this album is one of the biggest ever.

Agree with many that this sounds very of the time but it doesn't really detract from it for some reason. One of a kind voice with some cool songs.

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

Great album. Had some slappers, then some less so. 4/5.

I liked this album a lot. Some classics like ironic and you oughta know but the overall album was good as well.

I likhet med andre her, er Alanis Morissette noe jeg har utsatt. Jeg har tenkt at dette albumet har blitt hyllet så mye fordi det bare var et bra popalbum når det kom ut. Litt som at noen av skivene til Taylor Swift blir omtalt som gode, men det må ses på i sammenheng med andre popskiver i sin samtid, for de er egentlig ikke noe gode skiver. Jeg har tenkt at Alanis Morissette var litt i samme kategori. Jeg vet ikke hvorfor, misogony? Denne skiva her var ikke sånn ihvertfall. Dette er en rein popskive, men i motsetning til de fleste reine popskivene vi har hatt på denne lista, er dette dritkult. Spesielt vokalen til Alanis Morissette. Den er rå og skitten og helt unik.

I will attempt to sum up the themes of this album: I want you! … and it’s all your fault I hate you! … and it’s all your fault I love you! … and it’s all your fault I’m a pervert! … and it’s all your fault This album has a pretty special place in my music taste journey, I remember listening to it heaps when it came out, and it was probably the one of the best intros in to female rage a young lass can get. It’s dated, sure, and the harmonica solo can go fuck itself, and ironic is not actually that ironic - but I enjoyed this little trip down memory lane today. Embarrassing story time. I was in grade 5 when this came out, and I had a mega crush on a grade 6 boy - things seemed like they were going to happen between us, he’d asked me out, I’d said yes, instantly I was in love. That night listening to the local radio request line I hear him call up and request a song, and dedicate it to another girl who was in grade 6, Philippa. I. Was. Devastated. I listened and sang my heart out to You Outta Know over and over, and felt ALL THE FEELINGS little 11 year old me could. (Maybe a slight overreaction?) Here begins the start of me having feelings for boys that I liked waaay more than they ever liked me, and being all dramatic about it. Thanks Alanis 🙃

Mouth gangster type shit She lowkey goin apemode in this bih

Very good. Very popular. Hard to put into words how important this was. Some of the non hits are a little tough.

Blast from youth pretty amazing

Love this album. Her writing is so personal and intelligent. Powerful voice, raw emotion, explosive direction changes. She’s a unique artist. We need more like her.

Still, ironically, unironic

Had this on cassette tape back when it was released. Although it's not something I would have chosen to go back to, it's chock full of memorable tunes, and Alanis excels at this blend of 90s singer-songwriter pop rock.

Never listened to this entire album. Enjoyed every song. Coming of age in the 90s I didn't realize how lucky we were to experience such an onslaught of female artists, with alanis leading the way in hard rock. Was there any other solo female artists doing this before she hit the scene? Joan Jett? Pat Benetar? But this is a clear departure in themes, lyrical quality, and vocal awareness. Her voice is stunning on those high notes. She has an incredible range I never noticed before. Excellent!

Very 90s, snutty attitude in the best way. I cab forgive most flaws because it is just very honest and raw

All I really want - I really enjoyed the tones on the guitar and the main melody The changing of the amount of layers is nice throughout. It gives a sense of importance on sections without changing too much about the song You outta know - Funky bassline. chord progression on the chorus is nice but im not a big fan of the sudden cut out of most of the instruments after. the whole point of the chorus is that its not meant to change and be a home point to come back to but it feels like there could be at least some variation. Perfect - less of a rock feel compared to the other songs. still inherits some of the same characterstics such as the sudden change in layers. more soft in a sense Hand in my pocket - Melody is guided by the vocals (and harmonica), the instruments dont really go off on their own but thats not necessarily a bad thing. enjoyable song and I like the lyrics Right through you - the chord progression switch in the chorus is nice to listen to, the guitar tone here makes it feel more rock-y sometimes. the change in layers is done better than Perfect and I appreciate the small sections inbetween the lyrics. One of the better songs imo so far Forgiven - more of a rock song than some of the others. the acoustic guitar gives a really nice vibe in constrast with the electric guitars and provides some different sound texture with some fills throughout the song You Learn - nothing spectactular stood out to me but there was a nice small guitar solo in the middle which I was was longer or present more times. You really get to know that the song is called you learn, quite repetitive lyrics Head Over Feet - started quite typically but then theres a nice glissando on the vocal melody that constrasts really nicely to the key of the song, it stands out but in a good way. little harmonica solo is funky too. another songs where the vocals are the main focus. fun to sing along to Mary Jane - change in drums is a nice change of pace, can really tell the pace of the song. vocals are really strong and belty but also soft in parts. transitions between them are done well. electric guitar not always playing chords is a nice switch up with the drums. sounds less like a wall of noise sometimes and you can really hear the melody ironic - wasnt a big fan of the softness at the start but it was nice to just have vocals and guitar. sudden belting (of the chorus) caught me by surprise and its kinda sets the pace for the rest of the song to be more upbeat. I admire the skill by Alanis to switch between singing styles well and make it fit well Not the Doctor - not much to say, but a good song. the 2 vocals add nice harmonies. the guitar and vocals going different directions in the chorus is pleasant to listent to Wake Up - the base and drums really add some groove, the 2 vocals give the song some great depth with the harmonies. the fact that the guitar melody doesnt always just blatently follow the vocal melody makes the song sound really full. all of it combined results in a complex sound but it all really works together You oughta know jimmy blend - basically the same song aside from a pure vocal track for the 2nd half which im not the biggest fan of

Oh hello, ninth grade me. Her intensely felt and creative vocals and relatable lyrics still hit.

Great album! Sounds like a greatest hits album from the 90s. Even the non-single tracks are great! Everything comes together on this album! 4 stars

Solid 3.5. Iconic album though and rounding up to a 4.

“You, you, you, you, you, you, you oughta know!” -Kevin Malone

I thought Alanis Morissette was the Avril Lavigne of the 90’s. Boy was I wrong.

Great. Not perfect but great rock from the era

Angst level of 5 for sure. Definitely respect that she made this when she was only 21, which was about the same age as I was at the time this came out. Pretty much the sound of 90s and Gen Xers. Listening today for the first time years was alright, definitely some cringy moments and overall a 4 I think for me. "You Oughta Know" is pretty great, so many iconic hits on this album.

The singles are bangers and some of the deep cuts are killer as well (especially "Forgiven"). 4 stars

A classic of the angry lady genre.

Good stuff.

I love women when they are at their absolute lowest.

Listening to You Oughta Know on the tube is a lesson in self restraint. It’s nearly physically impossible not to belt it out.

Inspiring this was Uncle Joey from Full House’s greatest achievement.

I haven’t listened to Alanis Morissette very much, but this album is very good.

Isn't it ironic?

you oughta know, forgiven, hand in my pocket, ironic.

Прикольный инди-поп из 90х, с довольно творческим подходом к аранжировкам. Первый трек очень странный, потом становится более-менее обычно. Не очень понимаю почему этот альбом включили в этот список, никогда не слышал про эту певицу, но вообще ознакомиться с ним было не лишним, хоть и не обязательным. Много необычных инструментов, рок-аранжировки, очень характерное для эпохи звучание и порой слишком высокий вокал.

4/5

Has all the known songs which says a lot.

Isn't it ironic...how some of these songs are truly beautiful and some others are like nails on a chalkboard?

Some classic mid nineties pop/rock featuring her well known songs. It's pretty catchy stuff.

Even though I don’t know the whole album deeply, it’s impossible to ignore the power and authenticity of Jagged Little Pill. The songs I’m familiar with — like You Oughta Know, Ironic, and Hand in My Pocket — really capture that raw, emotional energy of the ’90s. Alanis delivers every line with intensity, mixing anger and vulnerability in a way that feels genuine and cathartic. Some tracks may sound a bit dated today, but the album still hits hard. It’s easy to understand why it became such an iconic record in alternative pop-rock and made Alanis one of the most recognizable voices of her time.

Well, this young lady is very upset! This album came out before I was really making my own decisions about music, but was Around That Time, so I heard all the hits and they're catchy but they don't resonate with me. Part of that is being a little young, part of that is not being dumped by an older guy and then being super pissed that he's dating someone else, because I was not a gay 9 year old. That means that I have this history of having heard and consumed the hits without them really registering on me, so listening to it now is both with tired and fresh ears, and those ears tell me this sounds EXTREMELY 90s. Did this album define the sound, or was it part of the sound? I don't know. I'm surprised at how young she sounds to my older ears, which makes the album a little bit more impressive. Its pop credentials are just the tip of an iceberg of a larger, maybe better album, but it still doesn't resonate with me because I still have not been angry that an older dude dumped me after I went down on him. Gets the bump for being a complete package, despite not really being my deal.

While sometimes a little screamy, her voice matches the electric guitars and driving beats so well. This sounds exactly like the 90s.

20.10.25#22 favourite Tracks: All i really want, Hand in my pocket, Ironic Rate: 8/10

Expectations were high going into this one and wasn’t disappointed. Just a couple lulls, but overall great

A great, angsty, divorced mom rock album. Numerous major hits in You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic, etc. 7.5/10 (3.75/5)

Such a unique voice full of emotion. A theatrical quality. I like her vocal cries. Brilliant, introspective songwriting that really tells a story.

The vocals work for me and the instrumental is nice and engaging … love my female singer writers specially Canadian ones

A great album. Good listening.

This is dated in the best way possible. I was immediately transported back to the mid nineties when life was simple, because I was 10 years old. Half this album are certified radio top 10 bangers. The non radio hits were still poignant. Bravo Alanis.

An outstanding debut that still slices keenly after — oh my god, 30 years? There’s some youthful energy here that sometimes slips into smugness, but I can forgive “Ironic” and other overreaches because the songs whip, and her distinct voice rides high and low throughout, unapologetically raging and endearing in equal measure.

Hasn’t aged too well but young me adored this

8/10

regelrecht uit de nineties... muziek is goed (drum kan wat tegensteken) teksten OK, haar stem meestal ook

It's been a long time since I've listened to this end to end. Holds up very well, all the hits are well deserved and there's a number of great additional tracks too.

Wow. It starts out strong with "All I Really Want". Alanis has crazy vocals and it hyped me up for the listen. As someone who has had "passionate" exes write long diatribes about me and our relationships this speaks to me in a familiar language. She really captures those feelings of anger, hurt, love, betrayal, and a longing for dreams to match reality. A couple songs were weaker and some of the music feels dated, that knocks a star off.

- it was great - fun energetic, catchy - all the songs were great

You Oughta know

Oh, baby. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was caught up in the Jagged Little Pill hysteria that began after You Oughtta Know came blasting out of the radio in 1995. Yes, 1995. That’s 30 years ago, people. Ugh. Anyway, I bought this CD and listened to it over and over. I guess I was a teenage girl at heart, but I did really dig this album. I haven’t listened to it in about 29 years, but God knows we all heard enough of it when it was out. I think that’s why I was dreading this listen. I got so burned out on it that I turned from a fan into a hater back in the day. So, as I began my first listen, I got the nostalgia feels that come with being old and remembering when this album was huge and I was young and had all the chicks. Well, some of that sentence is true. Then I heard the first occurrence of Alanis’s, um, quirky, vocal styling. The yips and, the quirks and all the other weird affectations that I assume were real. Were they? But after you get to the hits, I kind of forgot about them and just enjoyed the trip back to 1995. By the time I got to the song Forgiven, I stopped working to listen to it. Forgiven is a great song. Not that the others aren’t, but I’ve heard them 1,000 times. Dang, this is a pretty good rock album. Then you find out that Flea and Dave Navarro played on You Oughtta Know and that’s like pure 1995 Chili Peppers. That can't be bad, right? No, One Hot Minute fans out there? It's very underrated. I may be swept up again in Alanis fever, but I think this is an album that deserves to be on the 1,001 list. Not only was it a phenomenon and helped boost the short-lived Litlith Fair phase, but it’s a damn good rock album on its own. It’s full of quasi-hard rock with pop sensibilities that really worked in the 90’s. If you’ve never heard this album, you should listen to it before you’re dead.

As misturas entre o rock e o pop, bem como as letras dessas músicas fazem esse álbum ser incrível! Como não ouvi isso antes?

Recognised quite a few tunes from this one. Very very good.

I can't sincerely say this album deserves to be in the list, but I did enjoy it. 7/10

I don't love this as much as a lot of critics do but it is really good. The only thing that would improve it would be sitting in a Range Rover and singing along with Rob Brydon on a Spanish country road.

Great albulm

It's a noteworthy accomplishment for Alanis to represent such emotional and dark themes through an up-beat, mainstream pop driven instrumentation. The album is a collective statement and fierce representation of her artistry within the rock genre.

Ah, the original pop-princess-turns-twisted album. This stuff was so pervasive it’s hard to be objective. The relationship bitterness has gone a bit from “da-a-a-amn, girl” to “tee hee”, but I was bopping to the album quite a bit. Easy to forget how unapologetically odd and personal these tracks are, and Alanis Morrisette’s voice, much imitated since, is very unique and expressive. Liked it way more than I expected. Turn it up and singalong. Rolling Stone Magazine watch: five instances in the album Wikipedia page. Ouch, Alanis.

I had this one on tape back when it came out! After Much Music played the hits ad nauseum I got tired of hearing them and never really returned to the album, but you know what? It may sound dated, but this is some good shit right here.

Gud.

I don't remember ever having listened to this whole album, though lots of the songs are familiar as a Canadian. There are tons of singles on here, and some of the songs that aren't singles could have easily been singles. The first track is a good example--I'd never heard it before. Pretty solid album all the way through. 1995, just before mainstream rock began to turn to crap for a decade or so. 4/5

Many women were pioneering the 90s singer-songwriter movement, and meanwhile, Alanis Morissette was on the scene trailblazing the art of women in 90s alternative rock singing about fiery breakups. This is another one of those wild albums where half the tracks ended up being incredibly successful singles, to the point where most people know them, whether they realize they do or not. Honestly, even the non-single tracks are huge bangers, though. Simply put, Alanis has such a way with songwriting and powerhouse vocals, and that prowess is on full display on this album.

Great album. The hits bop. But there are some great songs other than the ones ive heard before.

This was way more fun than I remembered. Proper sounds of the 90s time capsule, but still something in circulation now.

Remains a good album having not listened for 3 decades. This was such a massive hit, it was ubiquitous in 1996. Tad dated but still sounds the biz.

Still holds up

As a teen, I loved her. Still pretty damn good.

The singing isn’t good but it’s got a boatload of personality and definitely pairs well with the sardonic songwriting. She’s a real one. Songs structure can be a bit bland from time to time, but the strong lead guitar and unique supporting instruments (harmonica, mandolin) keep things fresh enough. Listened to: walking to Palms. Favorite tracks: You Oughta Know, Right Through You, Ironic

3,75

I see why this is the soundtrack of angsty teen girls everywhere. It's got a raw sound and witty lyrics that, at times, feel like they're trying to hard to be poetic. Overall a fun listen and I would listen again.

Some great songwriting and some really classic, heartfelt, powerful tracks like Forgiven and Oughta Know. Some songs are quieter and just as good like You Learn and Head Over Feet. What holds the album back though is a rather weak last quarter and the couple corny tracks that make you question what they were thinking (Ironic and Hand in My Pocket). Replace these two tracks and this is probably nearly a 5-star album.

Really strong album with a whole lot of songs to love. Standouts for me are All I Really Want and Hand in My Pocket. Lyrically great - themes covered might be common in love, heartbreak, family drama - but there’s a rawness in how it’s presented that is moving. I really want to give this a 5 but basically every song that isn’t a charting single (of which there are so many!) feels like filler.

IT'S LIKE RAIIIIINNNNNNNNNN Dug the reprise of You Oughta Know/hidden track to end it

Great voice, she would benefit from having some dedicated bandmembers. Mainly to diversify the instrumentals.

Alanis Morissette is one of those names I've always known, but didn't know much about. However, I'm glad I discovered this album. This album has 1990s nostalgia written all over it. Favorite Track: "Perfect"(well, not literally perfect, but you know).

I'd give this a 3.5, as there are some good songs on here. "You Learn" is a pretty good song, but I really do think "Head Over Feet" is a great song. I have always disliked "Ironic," and I find most of the other songs to not be for me. However, I can respect what she was doing and what she did for many listeners, especially for the female voice at the time.

A really great listen, I kept wanting to find reasons to rate this lower, but I feel like every song is enjoyable and adds to the greater context of the project. I really enjoyed revisiting.

Wow. The power and tenderness in her voice in the final track tempers the rage and drive in the rest of the album in a really beautiful way. Adds closure to the overall feeling of catharsis embodied in the record. Throughout the rest of the songs, her unique voice, intonation, and delivery cuts a really interesting picture with the music. Obviously I was aware of the bigger songs on the album before listening, hard not to be if you've listened to any radio on the last 20 years. But the less popular tracks are just as good. Fascinating music and not really something that's been replicated. Strong 4/5.

Perfectly captures the edgy teenage girl vibe. Really genuinely enjoyable music too, the only song I didn't like (ironic) was due to it being A. being overplayed and B. because my high school L.A. teacher dunked on it for 30 minutes for using the word ironic wrong. Giving this a four due to personal taste but I can't imagine it performing better on its premise.

They made a musical where the soundtrack was this album and that storyline/images from when I saw the production sways my vote up. This is the perfect angsty girl album for me, songs you have to sing from deep within you. Not super listenable in my day to day life as a whole

A classic 90's rock album that makes my inner rebellious teenager to scream loudly Fav song - Ironic 4/5

There’s 3 songs that I like from this album: “You Oughta Know,” “Hand In My Pocket,” and “Ironic.” These songs are really great, and I hope the rest of the album’s good. Unable to listen to it now, but I will soon.

This album is pretty legendary, looking at the track listing. Loved this throwback to my childhood.

Extremely strong album. So many good songs. Saw here in 2025 and she still ha such an amazing singing voice. The stand out tracks are good but the others are less memorable. Still 4/5.

Her voice and vocal performance are truly one of a kind. All the songs are quite long, but it somehow works quite well. Very personal and evocative writing.

There are a lot of great songs on this I have to admit. My faves are "head over feet", "you oughta know", "ironic", "hand in my pocket". Alanis has a great voice.

'Why are you so petrified of silence? / Here, can you handle this?' Angsty, shallow, eccentric, bold, Jagged Little Pill is an undeniable success and an enduring statement, an uneven and imperfect record, but ultimately soulful and compelling. Morissette's voice is shrill, indeed jagged, even when she slows down on tracks like 'Perfect' and 'You Learn,' intent on shouting and quavering her way to some sort of pieced-together discordance: 'I'm sad but I'm laughing / I'm brave but I'm chickenshit'; 'A traffic jam when you're already late / A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break.' Not much ironic here, but it flourishes in a way sincere pop frequently missteps. And who would've thought that the next great harmonica-ad-libber would be Alanis?

It figures

A nostalgic 90’s classic. Has some favorites and the rest are not bad. Always sing along when it comes on, but don’t play it on repeat.

A proper classic and not ironically

really loved this, only knowing the singles I was surprised by how many songs I was into

It's very good, needs more time with my lyric-listening head on

Alanisssssssssssss❤️❤️❤️❤️

- des classiques - oughta know toujours un banger! - Forgiven !!

Favourites: All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Right Through You, Forgiven, Ironic, Wake Up

Muy bueno

4/5

Lite mer old-fashioned rock än jag trott, inte som tex Sympathy for the Devil

A classic with lots of bangers

Great Album, vocal performance is really good.

A mind-blowing, life-changing album for 14-year-old me. It got huge and overplayed so fast though that I lost connection with it. Still, it remains a pivotal album for me.

I appreciate her warts-and-all approach to songwriting, and willingness to put it all out there. So many catchy songs too!

3.5

4.5

Didn’t think I would love this album, but it turned out that it’s GREAT!

An all time classic 90s album. I don't love it, but it's so quintessentially 90s I enjoyed listening to it

Absolute banger! It formed a generation of angsty girls. Decade-defining. 4/5

They did a Glee episode AND a whole Broadway musical about this album so it must be really good. I've definitely enjoyed some of the tracks from this album, I especially like Hand in my Pocket. All I Really Want: She is soooo angsty and angry and I love her voice. The silence bit is really fun. You Oughta Know: I knew this song existed for a long time and I knew the chorus but then it blew up on Tiktok and I was like, "woah!" I didn't know the intro to the song was so... intimate. It really feels like a direct attack on ME which is crazy. It's a great song. Very emotional but not in a mushy way. Kinda like Deja Vu by Olivia Rodrigo if she had balls. Perfect: A short, soft change in pace from anger to vulnerability. Definitely gifted kid burnout song love it Hand In my Pocket: Just really nice and feel good and indifferent. Sort of like 4 Non Blondes to me. I love her voice. Very unique. Right Through You: She sees right through them. Good song! Forgiven: A sweet blend of rage and softness. I like the refrains. You Learn: Definitely heard this one. Pretty good but not something I’d turn on for fun. Head over Feet: Like this! Love song with a little bit of edge and almost Irish sound (wtf?) Ironic: Better than Bo Burnham’s song about Irony (even though that one’s really funny) because this one is both witty and a genuinely great song. Not the Doctor: These songs are all quite similar although I like them all! Good song. I’m not the doctor! Stop trying to make me solve your problems! She has great lyrics. They’re a little acerbic but super relatable. Very funny. Wake Up: Good end to the album. !!!! Overall, a teensy bit repetitive but REALLY good definitely and i understand why it's so iconic and well loved. I'd give this a 4.5 for like the actual music but it's got a certain grit and charm that's gonna bump it up. Rock n roll! Edit: Maybe I was in too good a mood here -- I'm giving it a 4. The slower tracks don't work well enough for me, but I still LOVE You Oughta Know and Hand in my Pocket.

👍👍👍

accurate sonic depiction of coming of age in ontario. fuck yeah, alanis.

Classic

This one was really strong; great voice, melodies and sound to it. Will be in the main rotation

Like a true 1990s teenage girl, I had Jagged Little Pill on a cassette a friend copied for me, but with the exception of You Oughta Know, I haven't listened to it in years (well, decades). That's definitely still the stand out track for me, but the gap between You Oughta Know and the rest isn't quite as big as I'd remembered - I enjoyed revisiting this.

I find Alanis kind of annoying, but I'd forgotten how good most of this is, and enjoyed listening to it again. You Oughta Know is a 5-star song. Also like All I Really Want and several others. The bad parts: the a cappella hidden track, one or two of the other slow ones, and everything in Ironic except the chorus.

4/5 - Why do you need to hear this album before you die? So that you can hear exactly what 1995 and 1996 sounded like. This is not a timeless classic. This is a time capsule that you dig up, dust off, and feel all the disillusionment, angst, and GenX attitude wash over you in waves. written and sung by a woman who is flat out going for it, because who gives a flick what you think. The lyrics are sometimes brilliant, and frequently bad, while Alanis' voice is sometimes perfect and frequently grating, but this is catharsis on compact disc. There's thousands of singer-songwriter records, but few have this specific of a voice for a particular generation. Just sing along. You know the words.

Great vocals, total 2000s sound. Edgy, interesting song writing.

4.5 I love 90s angry girls

Alanis Morissette is really fuckin' angry for most of this album. And I LOVE a good "I'm angry" album.

Really great, heard the single a bunch in the 90s but the whole album is solid with great flow. She is a fantastic songwriter

The precursor to all the Pop/Rock female Singer-Songwriters of the late-90's and 00's. Angsty lyricism that characteristic of the mid-90's but from a female prespective. The guitar-heavy sound contrasted with the softer, more acoustic artists of the Lilith Fair circle. There are so many great songs here, no wonder this was huge back then. Key tracks: You Oughta Know Hand in My Pocket Head Over Feet Ironic

Iconic. The harmonica had an iron grip on the 90’s, an unshakable hold

Aaaaaaalll the hits. Genuinely surprised how many I knew. I don’t ever really seek out Alanis Morissette but I’m not really gonna complain when she’s on unless it’s that stupid ironic song

Great rockish album that embodies 90s alt rock/pop rock, so if you like time travelling to a different time give it a listen. Feels a little boring at times but fairly bloody good at its peaks.

I'll never be able to articulate why some pitchiness (some Kim Gordon, Hayley Williams) works perfectly for me and others (this) slightly miss the mark. But that's basically the only thing keeping this from a 5 for me. Everything else is great
