Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette > Reviews

Advantages: All of the songs are excellent and alanis has a really strong voice
Disadvantages: none really

I bought this album because I liked "Ironic". i thought the rest of the album would probably suck but it didn't. Everyone knows Alanis is a bit of a kook but shes totally cool and this album is so bad. Its better than "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" by miles and almost every single song is brilliant. "Head Over Feet" is one of my faves. Why do people look at you funny when you say you like Alanis Morissette. Well, they don't always, its normally ... Read review

Advantages: Full of heartfelt anger
Disadvantages: not for the feint hearted

...is perfect depression music. For me, Jagged Little Pill is a remarkable album. It’s packed with great songs, and beautifully produced and shows an enormous talent. ... Read review

Advantages: Flows through the emothions
Disadvantages: can't play it loud enough

This album is one of my utmost favourites, especially when im p####d off with everything! When I have had enough of the world and I couldn’t care if the neighbours complain or not I put this CD in the player and play it very loud. Its not the type of CD that you can play quietly, it begs to be played loud, the louder the better! I don’t dislike any of the songs but I do have my favourites “All I really want” and “Ironic” ...

Advantages: one hand in my pocket
Disadvantages: none

Jagged Little Pill is one of the most famous albums of the Nineties. In some ways the overplay of such songs as Ironic has spoilt the appeal of the album. Heard in isolation, it is a great album, but with all the radio play of many of it's songs it is not so good. This notwithstanding, the album is great. Mary Jane is the only bad song on the album, the rest are brilliant pieces of music, and the songs all work together to produce an album of top ... Read review

Advantages: An album of great, catchy songs
Disadvantages: a bit of a moody album

A very good quality and completely recommended album. As the name suggests not the happiest album in the world. But a realistic and very enjoyable album none the less. I have played mine to death so recently had to but a replacement. All tracks are enjoyable from this amazingly popular album. Some of her lyrics on this album are so cool. She hs such a good way of expressing herself. Good number of tracks 13 on the disk and all are good. My ... Read review

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

When ‘Jagged Little Pill’ came out, it was Alain’s debut album, and what a great album it was. Full of loads of great songs, with sublime lyrics which were deepful and meaning. The angry was quite an angry one, songs like ‘Perfect’ resenting having to meet to everyone’s needed. And it was a song that you could relate to, how pressure was on to finish first and how second was never good enough. This album ... Read review

Advantages: Everything about it!
Disadvantages:

Great vocals, great lyrics and great music. I love this album. It literally lives in my stereo. If you are feeling sad it picks you up, feeling happy it keeps you happy or feeling angry it is a great album to sing along to and vent your anger. You Oughta Know is a great track for any woman scorned and Perfect reflects on all pressured children everywhere. In “Right Through You” Alanis practical sticks her finger up at all the people in the music industry ... Read review

Advantages: Feel good factor from the queen of angry
Disadvantages: The songs never leave you -EVER!

So she tends to be a bit of a winge bag with 'issues' - so what? After owning her album for many years, a few select songs still to this very day make a well deserved appearance on my ipod which in turn, gives me the opportunity to sing (shout) the hard hitting words, enabling me to let of steam or simply scare my beloved 4 legged little friend back into his dog basket. Madonna did well in signing Alanis to her record label! I'm sure she's still ... Read review

Advantages: wonderful lyrics, emotional melodies, catchy enjoyable songs.
Disadvantages: overplayed

This is Alanis at her finest. This album will never become dated. Although it is over ten years old it still manages to be one of the greatest alternaitve albums ever made. With a mixture of angy rock, 'witty' lyrics, sing-alongs, and wonderful melodies, this album is a must for any true music fanatic of any kind. Morissette seems to have strated a trend with leaving secret tracks, the one on this album being spectacular. Whether or not she wanted ... Read review

Advantages: brilliant lyrics, brilliant voice
Disadvantages: none

...classics on there such as Jagged Little Pill, Not The Doctor, You Learn, Ironic, All I Really want, Right Through You and Hand In My Pocket. There are some good instrumental pieces in some of the songs and some superb singing. This is not a CD to buy if you don't like loud music because once you buy it you will want to keep turning the volume up and up. A full set of lyrics are enclosed in the inlay and some of the lyrics are very thought provoking. If ... Read review

Advantages: The best lyrics by a female songwriter for 20 years.
Disadvantages: Can be a but depressing. ;)

Let's be honest, there aren't a great deal of truly original female songwriters out there, are there? Kate Bush, Tori Amos... then, of course, Alanis. I first heard this album in about 1997 and if I'm honest, it wasn't the best thing I'd ever heard. Well, that's not quite right - it wasn't the best thing I *thought* I'd ever heard. Since then, and in-numerable plays later, it's grown on me to become one of my favourite albums in my collection (which ... Read review

Advantages: Some classic songs
Disadvantages: Bit moody at times...

This album was received very well when first released, and it still is very good. Alanis has gone down in everyone's estimation since then, but this is still worth listening to. It was released around the same era as Sheryl Crow's Sheryl Crow album and out of the two this is worse. The songs are more angst than Ms. Crow's, and some are quite dark and harsh. None the less this album does still hold it's head high as being a classic at a certain ... Read review
