Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Pros: Songs, lyrics, melodies, attitude.

Cons: ...

The Bottom Line: Alanis Morissette deserved every accolade she earned for her debut, Jagged Little Pill. "Special" cannot even come close to describing this album. Incredible, really.

Review: Alanis Morissette came to me as a blur of white across the television screen. She had the voice of an angel, and angst-ridden lyrics to match. Then, of course there was the fact that her music was above all other things rock n’ roll. And in...

Pros: Intense, angry, ambitious, intersting

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Jagged Little Pill is probably one of the best albums of the 90's. This album is an unrivaled tribute to female pain and anger.

Review: The first time I heard Alanis Morissette I couldn’t stand the sound of her. Her anguished war cry that kind of sounded like a strangled yelp of a kicked dog made the little hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention. I wondered what record ...

Pros: Sensational melodies, and one-liners up the wazoo

Cons: Truth hurts. Overplayed singles.

The Bottom Line: If you're one of the very few who haven't heard Jagged Little Pill, you would be surprised if you did.

Review: Dearest Alanis,

I want you to be my wife. You have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that indeed, you are the one for me. Everytime I hear you singing about how fascinated you are by the spiritual man, how humbled you are by his humble...

Pros: unbelievably strong lyrics, great lyrical float of rock sound, a cappella on bonus track

Cons: not too keen on listening to You Oughta Know twice

The Bottom Line: I believe everyone owns the disc already, so let me ramble a bit on how this album changed my view on music.

Review: I can logically divide my life into several parts in numerous ways, but usually I name two dates as the turn points. On December 31, 1996 I learnt what music actually was by listening to the music marathon on my favorite [Russian-American, by the way] ...

Pros: Where Alanis began. Lyrically and creatively expressive.

Cons: Vocalizations may drive some mad.

The Bottom Line: She’s here, she’s angry, she has a message, she’s inquisitive, she rants, she vocalizes, so deal.

Review: In honor of Alanis’ third studio album Under Rug Swept I look back on where it all started. Jagged Little Pill was a rare album. Out of nowhere came this very apparently angry yet creative woman who sung songs yet told stories at the same...

Pros: Great songs, moving rhythms, nice tunes.

Cons: Not any at all.

The Bottom Line: This has got to be my favorite driving music since Boz Skagg's Lido Shuffle.

Review: I've rarely found an album that had such a strong body of work. Listening to any album, we are lucky if 1/3 the content blows us away. Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle was pretty awesome the summer I turned 17. Jagged Little Pill is filled with ...

Pros: Every single damn thing

Cons: ...

The Bottom Line: A record that has been long forgotten but always praised. By this one NOW!

Review: With Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Alanis Morissette knew she was throwing all of her fame from her debut away. She couldn't handle all of this "angry superstar" idea the media has put on her, all of the screaming fans stalking her 24/7 and ...

Pros: Angsty trip in Alanis' mind; excellent music, vocals, and lyrics.

Cons: No cons, you weirdo.

The Bottom Line: This is an essential CD that you should have in your collection. If rock is your bag of music, and you don't have this awesome album; shame on you!

Review: Well, here it is. Jagged Little Pill. When Pill first came out, I was mere 7 years old, and I had no clue who Alanis Morissette was. In 1995, I DID hear Hand in My Pocket and being an immature little kiddie, I was amused by the part of the video ...

Pros: Unique Lyrics and Artist Style

Cons: Too Much Of Negativity Can Make One Sour

Review: I was just going through a painful breakup when I discovered this album. I had never heard of Alanis Morissette before, but one of my internet friends said I should listen to her because I could relate. Boy, was he right!

Alanis brings out...

Pros: Truth, honesty, and some pretty darned good music.

Cons: Over played by me and the radio stations

The Bottom Line: Alainis Morissette's "debut" album Jagged Little Pill is an emotional and gut wrenching look at relationships gone wrong.

Review: A few years back I was in the middle of a developmental stage that included depression, coming to terms with my life to date, and feeling really sorry for myself. One day I was driving to work thinking about how terrible my life had been and really...
