Review

"Jagged Little Pill" is the musical equivalent of a caffeine-fueled therapy session with your ballsiest friend. Alanis Morissette ditched her bubblegum pop past and dove headfirst into a sea of angsty alt-rock, emerging with an album that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. It's like she took all the rage of a scorned lover, mixed it with the confusion of your early 20s, and set it to a killer soundtrack.

From the seething "You Oughta Know" (which probably made a few exes sweat) to the irony-laden "Ironic" (which isn't actually that ironic, but who cares?), this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. It's got more mood swings than a teenager on prom night. But that's what makes it so damn good. Morissette's raw, unapologetic lyrics paired with Glen Ballard's slick production created a perfect storm that swept up 33 million listeners worldwide. Five Grammys and a spot in Rolling Stone's greatest albums list later, "Jagged Little Pill" is still the go-to album for when you need to scream-sing your feelings into a hairbrush microphone. It's not just good, it's change-your-life, question-everything good. - Leo
