AllMusic

It's remarkable that Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill struck a sympathetic chord with millions of listeners, because it's so doggedly, determinedly insular.

Rolling Stone

Q Magazine

El álbum que derrotó a Mariah en el año que DEBIÓ GANAR SUS GRAMMYS, aún así se merece haber ganado en el aoty aunque considere que Daydream debió ganar.
Este álbum es bastante curioso, no es un buen álbum a nivel de cohesión, en especial la segunda mitad del álbum, sin embargo, a pesar que se notan cuáles fueron (y pudieron ser sus singles All I Really Want, Forgiven, Wake Up) el resto están como ... read more

"Jagged Little Pill", lançado em 1995, é o terceiro álbum de estúdio de Alanis Morissette e é amplamente considerado um marco na música pop e rock alternativo. O álbum marca a transição de Alanis Morissette de uma cantora pop adolescente para uma artista madura e autêntica, com letras afiadas e uma sonoridade poderosa que aborda temas pessoais e sociais de forma intensa.

the instrumentals are cool and her vocals are okay, but this album is insanely consistent and i enjoyed every song.
