Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette

It was a long road to begin to feel ok with hearing the way Alanis sings…it worked after a while though and by the time I got to Right Through You I was mainly just hearing someone share their story. Pretty personal / intimate details about her life on most of the tracks. She kind of forces you into her world. It’s all good, in that regard. RIGHT THROUGH YOU “You scan the credits for your name…” wow, it hadn’t hit me yet that with streaming music we don’t usually see the credits / thank-you’s. His name still isn’t on there. The album itself doesn’t transition at all between songs, the different styles sometimes are pretty stark. Even though I got used to Alanis’ voice, I wouldn’t listen to this again unless someone else wanted to. There’s quite a few songs that I grew up hearing everywhere I went (including the music videos on MTV). I DO appreciate how much she shares…I could see my daughters checking these songs out when they get a little older. That’s when the content of the lyrics started to win me over a bit. Although sometimes the lyrics are really heavy, but I think they’re all justified.
