Alanis is one of my favorite artists, but all biases aside, I think just about anyone can get into this album. It is fueled by all sorts of emotions, from childhood angst, feel-good grooving, anger over relationships, and even jealousy. Alanis seems to always put her heart and soul into her lyrics and the music is powerful enough to complement her voice perfectly.
Jagged Little Pill is a very good album to listen to in the car, on road trips, cleaning house, or even just relaxing! Some tracks are up-beat, such as "All I Really Want," which opens the album, and some are more somber and serious, such as "Perfect," which is a song reflecting on unfulfilled parent/child relationships. You will remember some of the chart-topping tracks, such as "Hand in My Pocket," "You Oughta Know," "You Learn," and even "Ironic" from their heavy radio play, especially from the mid-to-late 90's.
This album also features some interesting aspects, such as an alternate take of "You Oughta Know" (track 13), and if you let the CD play through entirely, you will find a secret track called "Forgive Me Love" written into the album a while after the last song has ended.
Definitely worth a try, I would recommend it to anyone who can enjoy a strong woman singing about her life and values in a very powerful way. Every track can be enjoyed!

This is one of those CD's that is a must-have for any music library, and is included in scores of "Best Album" lists by an impressive array of mixed reviewers. I purchased this when it debuted and literally wore out at least two CD's from overplay. It's a unique and incredibly diverse album with vocals that will sear your brain, and lyrics that explore anger, love, bitterness, angst, and jealousy in depth and with a confident, smart style that is almost unheard of in a breakthrough artist. The album contains a list of songs that are superior in every aspect and stand out uniquely and unforgettably on their own, with absolutely no "filler", and include crooning ballads, sultry soul, raging rock, and more. It's sarcastic, crude, rude, and harsh; yet it was honest and actually made sense. This album will not leave you unaffected, even for those who are not fans of this incredible musical gem. The music, lyrics, and voice of Alannis Morrissette are strong, with an incredible range of emotion and depth that reach both men and women. Although criticized for "faking" the angst and anger that are part of her new persona (Alannis was a bubble-gum pop singer in Canada before crashing into the US charts with JLP), she deserves every hymn of praise sung for this unique and talented compilation. Many people will probably remember many of the songs as they received heavy radio airplay in the 90's. It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since the release of this rock/alternative masterpiece. It's as contemporary now as it was then as a voice for young women True, it's been a while now since I reached into my CD library and listened to Jagged Little Pill, but I will always remember what it did for me back when it came out. It still carries a powerful wave of nostalgia for me when I overhear any of the songs on this memorable classic. Isnt' that what all great music should do?

Alanis rocks on this album! Of course you know the popular songs, but you will become a fan of the rest of the album! The lyrics are so tight, and straight forward. She tells it like it is. She says a lot of what most of us were too polite to say!!!

I'll keep it short and simple. I really like this cd. I also have the new version of it, and it is good too, but the original is better. Clearly one of the best of all times.

Great CD!!!Review created: 09/05/08
by:
A great cd with a mixture of angry and fun music. Alanis Morissette is very talented especially expressing herself through music. I bought this cd because I really liked one particular song on it, but it has a lot of great songs on it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes her type of music.

One of the best artists with her best CDReview created: 07/29/08
by:
Alanis Morissette is simply an amazing artist. She is a fantastic singer and a simply phenomenal song writer. Jagged Little Pill is one of the few albums I listen to everyday. The writing is just amazing. I love how unapologetic it is. She is so honest and just puts it out there to get it out of her system. This is my favorite CD from her and probably always will be. All of her other CDs are fantastic as well but nothing will ever beat this album. This is an album you cannot live without. If you haven't been an Alanis fan it is never to late to start. Get the CD that put her on the map here in the US. Alanis has the talent to keep her going for many years to come and I will be here, eager to listen.

Best Album EverReview created: 06/03/08
by:
Every track is awesome-- everyone should have this album. I used to have this is high school but i lent it to a friend who lent it to a friend and i've never gotten it back- thank goodness for ebay- i needed to hear the entire album from front to back one more time. This is the album you put in the car on a road trip- it's singable and puts you in the mood to have a good time!

One of my favorite CDsReview created: 06/03/08
by:
I had to rebuy this cd, because I wore the first one out from 95. Its a great angry CD when Alanis was still jaded. Now that she is in love, she is a little softer and not so angry lol. I recommend this CD to anyone that likes rock music.

Easy pill to swallow!This was one of the best albums to ever come out, as faras being such a great collection of songs to be offered by an artist at one time, O.K., Dark side of the Moon was, and is the A1 standard for this in my opinion, but Morissette did something that her and few,have ever done! She wont be able to do it again, and thats a good thing!

I wish Alanis was still so angsty, this album is brilliant!
My favorite female vocalist of all time.
Most of the tracks are flawless and well written.
In fact, I'm listening to it right now!

A pretty good CDReview created: 04/09/08

I rated this CD at "good". It has a "hidden" 14th song and is fun to listen to. Some of the songs sound a little much alike. There are 3 or 4 swears on this cd. If I could suggest one thing to the artist it would be not sound like she is mad/and or yelling so much. It's not that bad but could be a little softer.
In all, I will continue to listen to this cd with pleasure.

One of the BEST Female Artists Of Our Time...This album is a classic. Alanis Morissette has a unique voice that take her songs to a whole new level. Her lyrics are blunt and true. She sings about the harsh realities of life and tribulations in such an intense way that you just can't help but become a fan of her music. I love her and I can't wait for a new album!!!! Highly recommended.
