Product Description
Amazon.ca
You could argue that Jagged Little Pill is the commercialised face of grunge. You could argue that Morrisette is just a cynical businesswoman, courting controversy with a few carefully placed, risqué references. You could even argue that this whole angst-rock is just a comfort-blanket for the therapy-generation. But it's still hard to argue that Jagged Little Pill isn't a great album. After all, it's the perfect alternative/mainstream crossover. There's "You Oughta Know", which marries its vitriolic, explicit narrative to thunderous, airbrushed grunge. With references to oral sex, Middle America were shocked, but not quite offended: it sold by the truckload. There's "Ironic", where Morrisette laments the trials that face every housewife ("there's ten thousand spoons / when all you need is a knife") to a scream-along, mosh-friendly chorus. The simple truth is, on Jagged Little Pill, the Canadian-born Alanis Morrisette does a very good job of being America's Everywoman. --Louis Pattison

This is a good price for the record. I'm glad they finally reproduced it on vinyl as the originals sell for up to $200+. I was hoping the secret song would be on it but no luck. Happy to have it in my collection though.

It took a long time for me to warm up to this album her histrionic vocals caught me off guard but with every listen I grew to like it more and more and now I think it is one of the best albums of the 90's. This vinyl version is definetely better sounding than CD I have. Warmer and a little more dynamic. I still feel that the sound is fuller on some songs than others, maybe it was recorded in a couple of different studios. I would go out and get this if you are interested.

Amazing
So amazing in fact, that most of the 1 star votes just flat out hate on her. No constructive information at all. I recommend reading them for a laugh. I know I got one. Read more

Angry on the surface but empowering at its core
When you talk about the biggest albums of the 90s, you certainly have to talk about 1995's Jagged Little Pill. Read more

A modern classic
Morissette has lately proved that 'happy' singer-songwriters don't breed the most memorable albums. However, her angry, raw, jarring classic delivers exactly what it promises;... Read more

Excellent Singles, So-So Filler
Let's face it: the singles became so huge, the filler was overlooked by almost all the fans of this album. But the singles are excellent. I think Head Over Feet is excellent. Read more

Amazing
One of the best Albums of the 90's. It has a richness of sound and lyrical focus that she has never come close to repeating.

One Of The Great Ones
I consider Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie to be her best work, but Alanis made an amazing debut with this album. I don't know why she was labeled as angry. Read more
