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: Sensational melodies, and one-liners up the wazoo Cons: Truth hurts. Overplayed singles.
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...
The first time I heard Alanis Morissette I couldnt 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: Well, there's "Head Over Feet" and the vocals on the second hidden track Cons: Many of the lyrics, Most of the vocals, Much of the production,Many of the instrumentals
Here's my big confessional moment for the day; for all of my love of Girl Power, Feminism and Equal Rights and Women's Lib and all that, I've never liked the music of Alanis Morissette. I was in college when "Jagged Little Pill" was released and I ...
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
I can logically divide my life into several parts numerous ways, but usually I name two dates as the turn points. On December 31, 1996 I learnt what music actually is by listen to the music marathon on my favorite [Russian-American, by the way] radio...
Pros: Where Alanis began. Lyrically and creatively expressive. Cons: Vocalizations may drive some mad.
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.
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: Angsty trip in Alanis' mind; excellent music, vocals, and lyrics. Cons: No cons, you weirdo.
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: Mega selling album, great songs, songs with truth Cons: Not one single flaw here
Alanis Morissette took the music world by storm with her auto-biographical and sometimes angry album Jagged Little Pill! Over all Jagged Little Pill is an album filled with more than just an angry person! If you really listen hard and deep enough, you ...
Pros: Unique Lyrics and Artist Style Cons: Too Much Of Negativity Can Make One Sour
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!
Pros: The lyrics,the screeching vocals,the amazing production,everything,damn it! Cons: ...cough.Ok,I'll bite,Right Through You!
Since I am the mere age of 14 years old,I wasn't around to realize the amazing achievements some legends in music made.And,if I was,I was too little to understand them anyway,so that itself makes me pretty much angry and angsty at the whole world.Which ...
Pros: her tongue..."in your face"lyrics, and unique voice Cons: if i had to name one, I'd say WAKE UP. Normally would be a good song, It just doesn't have the edge that the rest of the songs do.
In 1995 MCA Music Publishing gave us Alanis Morissette. Releasing Jagged Little Pill, Alanis's debut, we listened. With her unique voice, her wail, and her "send you home crying to your momma" lyrics. She kicks butt!
Pros: A full array of passionate songs -- songs of anger, frustration, rage, and disappointment. Cons: "Head Over Feet" doesn't really fit with the other songs on the album.
Before Jagged Little Pill's release, Alanis Morissette was a virtual unknown to the United States. After she released this monster of an album, everyone knew who she was and perhaps more importantly felt her pain. Now let's get to the review. I'm going ...
Pros: An all around terrific record, with sensational lyrics Cons: very commercial record.
I was watching an episode of 'Before The Were Rock Stars' on VH1 the other day, when they were profiling Alanis Morissette. They chronicled her career from the time she was a childhood star, to her days of bubble gum chewing pop in the early 1990's....
