Chris Belman did an amazing job mastering the Jagged album. And Taylor rocked this song. Wouldn't have had the impact without those drums. Not close.
one of the best artists of all times. did you guys know that her debut album, "Jagged Little Pill" was the best selling debut album in music history? search for alanis morissette in wikipedia if you doubt me...
again disagree- lyrically her second album "supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" was deeper and more personal. and her New album is Amazing. Have you heard it? Tracks like "Versions of Violence", "Citizen of the Planet" and "Moratorium" and "Tapes" rival anything from Pill
SFIJ was a lyrical trainwreck, however the production and instrumentation on it was enchanting.
Flavors of Entanglement was another ill-conceived attempt to write insightful lyrics, but the music tapped into an entirely new and fascinating realm.
Jagged will always be her best, because it was the most straightforward annd potent, and Alanis actually knew what she was trying to say instead of getting lost in the pretense of big words and tacky phrasing.
SFIJ was lyrically experimental-covered a range of topics ect. While it wasn't as straight forward I have always been one to feel that lyrics are poetry and that poetry as an art form is meant to be interpreted. Straightforward gets boring.
Wow! I like the energy I see here. I wish that had stayed around- but I respect that she is a very in the moment person and if she has those moments then she conveys and if she doesn't she won't fake it.
Wow. I'm speechless. All I know is that angry Alanis scares me a litte...a lot actually. It's an excellent song though, but I want to go lock myself in a dark closet. I'm glad she got over her depression. Although, she does write good music when she's angry.
Her voice was just naturally piercing. She wasn't pushing it. If you hear her sing now, its nowhere as powerful as it was back then. She lost her thunder.
"Break" is a rock song powered by loud, aggressive guitars, but it doesn't hide the fact that Alanis's voice is only a mere shadow of what it used to be.
I still disagree watch a live performance of Mary Jane from 96 and an acoustic of it in 2005-Alanis voice isn't as high pitched but it's just as if not more powerful (how long she holds the note on the word dry in that song.).
You should hear elizabeth gillies singing this song she's fantastic great song

Ask ALANIS about Marilyn Manson. She will react to his name with shame and guilty conscience. Because she is deceiving her fans.

It's too bad she didn't keep working with Ballard. None of her subsequent albums have stood up to her debut album.

She pushes her voice way too hard. She sounds like she's gonna spit her vocal chords. It's still a good performance tho.

Her voice was just naturally piercing. She wasn't pushing it. If you hear her sing now, its nowhere as powerful as it was back then. She lost her thunder.

"Break" is a rock song powered by loud, aggressive guitars, but it doesn't hide the fact that Alanis's voice is only a mere shadow of what it used to be.
