Her intensely personal lyrics grabbed the headlines, but the bravest departure here is the way Morissette's unique vocals stand naked in the mix--a technique that drives home the painful honesty of tracks like "Right Through You," "Forgiven," and "All I Really Want." Sheryl Crow or an earthier Tori Amos are fair analogies, but Morissette is a genuine original with a rare ability to make listeners care, think, and question. --Jeff Bateman

 INCREDIBLE WRITING, A LOT OF PAIN FROM THE PAST... October 24, 2008
John Hargraves
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As I reflect on this time in my life when the album was written about what I was going through, it is amazing how well "God" put the writing together. The pain is there, but more importantly it is a reminder of good times that make the pain worthwhile! I was outed at 15 to a religous set of parents and things were shakey. My youth pastor was my best friend that I trusted more than anything and told me it would go no further. It's also amazing how it ties in with the "Evanescence" labeled albums that were left for me by someone who the person who stole it thought was dead and is not! The two of them tie in...one about the harm caused when the media sexually exploited me to re-image Madonna from when I was 5 as an update as a sexually active young person! "Evanescence" is about the harm I am being put through while they try to kill me because of their previous crime. Bring me to life was actually a plea to PUT THEM TO DEATH! Please pray for the country and especially more specifically for me as we are all being victimized but me at a much larger level by these people and the horrible hatred and harm, in incapeable hands that are not intelligent enough to raise a child let alone capeable of making sure the country is in good hands! We all have our reasons to be here, we all have a thing or two to learn, we all need something to cling to...hopefully we will cling to the right things! They have implanted deadly telepathic communication technology in me discussed in the song "This Grudge" on a later album that discusses them exploiting me from the age of 11. I am dying from crime and the government placed by these people are siding with the crime in over 300 contacts! Pray that on October 28th JUSTICE will finally start being served! I am going to local court to start my way to the federal government! GW Bush (genital warts), Condy looks like Rice (Condyloma is the medical term for Genital Warts) and my boyfriends Dick were removed from my butt when they implanted the technology, they raped me at 18 to devalidate the sexual exploitation of me at 11. During that procedure they had me raped again and tried giving me a deadly disease according to the reports, but failed! PRAY HARD THAT GOD WILL SAVE US FROM THE RELIGON AND THE HORRID PEOPLE IN IT AS A COUNTRY! PRAY THAT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE WILL BE UPHELD AND THAT THESE HORRID PEOPLE KILLING IRAQI'S IN THE NAME OF RELIGON WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. GW Bush has admitted in the media (you can find it on youtube) that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9-11 and that they have no weapons of mass destruction...however the group of religous crap trying to kill me do have a weapon of mass destruction etc! PRAY AS A NON-RELIGOUS PERSON THAT THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD WILL WAKE UP AND SAVE US!
One Of The Ten Best CDs Of The '90s. October 9, 2008

Just a great CD. The first time I heard "You Oughta Know" I was like wow who is this angry chick. From the summer of '95 through the better part of '96 this CD pumped out hit after hit. "Hand in My Pocket", "Ironic", "Head Over Feet", on and on. Every song on here though is great not just the hits. This is one of those CDs when I put it in I'm transported back to another time in my life. That is what I use as criteria for a great album. If it conjures up feelings and thoughts of when you first heard it. "Hand in Pocket" was the one I really identified with back then. Being in my early/mid '20s at the time and in the middle of mass confusion with what to do with my life and being in my first real adult relationship. Alot of good stuff on here. Unfortunately Alanis has not come close to this since but she'll always have this feather in her cap.
Excellent - her best work! September 9, 2008

I actually bought this CD twice. That's how much I love it. It seems after she made this CD, she became "one" with the universe and is full of love. I don't like any of her other music. This CD shows how the "little people" get walked on. It is full of anger and frustration and how she had to fight to get noticed. I highly recommend it.

This album, "Jagged Little Pill", is the best that Alanis has put out to date. In this CD she is a girly version of Mike Muir a.k.a. Cyco Miko, pissed off and looking for confrontation. Gotta love the 'Cross eye'd bear' song, track number 2 titled "You oughta know"; One of her best songs ever! Over all a very relaxing listening album, like "Agent Orange", or "Devo".

It's a good CD, however the one I bought was all scratched up and none of the songs played all the way through without skipping.
