One of my favorite CDs. Mine was stolen years ago and now I finally bought a new one to replace it. Thank you for the great value

This iconic "break-up album" did not disappoint. Morisette's tomboy voice and straightforward lyrics make for an album which holds together in theme, flow and tone, much like Carol King's Tapestry, John Denver's Seasons of the Heart and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. So glad I finally heard the whole album in its continuity.

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! 1. All I Really Want 2. You Oughta Know 3. Perfect 4. Hand in My Pocket 5. Right Through You 6. Forgiven 7. You Learn 8. Head Over Feet 9. Mary Jane 10. Ironic 11. Not the Doctor 12. Wake Up 13. You Oughta Know (Alternate Take)Read full review
The cd is very unique in its music, and set Alanis Morissette on fire, and launched her into the world. Its music is very sultry, and strong, and the songs like "you oughta know" and "right through you" are a tribute to women, encouraging them to stand up and realize their independance, where others encouraged people to accept and actually enjoy their moods or feelings, rather than be afraid of them. It was a very powerful CD, and in my mind, any CD that promotes inner strength to teenagers is a definite A+ She plays many different instruments on the CD including a wonderful take on a harmonica that seems to highlight her vocals immensily. The melodies are pure A Grade in your face 'guts' with a lot of soul and character, and definately well worth listening to. The following is a list of the songs on her album. I hope you enjoyed this review. 1 All I Really Want 2 You Oughta Know 3 Perfect 4 Hand in My Pocket 5 Right Through You 6 Forgiven 7 You Learn 8 Head over Feet 9 Mary Jane 10 Ironic 11 Not the Doctor 12 Wake Up 13 You Oughta Know (Alternate Take)Read full review
This is a great CD. I wore out my original one and purchased this one as a replacement. I give 2 thumbs up and 5 stars, not to mention giving it a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10!
