Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

The subject matter throughout this album is extremely edgy and filled with teenage girl angst. I don't think I have ever heard another example of a 90s album with the combination of such raw female vocals, in your face lyrics, and at the same time bubblegum production quality like this album has. I don't think I am alone when I say that I wish she would have selected a different producer to work with on this album. I'm also not sure if I am alone when I say that I wish she would have released this album two or three years earlier. This album would have been better if the production was more raw and if it didn't seem like she was riding on the coattails of the girl-rock movement.
This album makes it seem like Alanis Morissette (or more likely the record label)was just trying to take the sounds of Courtney Love, PJ Harvey, and/or Liz Phair to the masses. I think this album is a classic case of too little too late. It's too bad because the songwriting and eclectic instrumentation on this album is great. It's the concept and the production quality that I have a problem with.
This is an okay or maybe even good album but definitely not great. Most definitely overrated. All I really want is to give it a high score and it makes me a little sad to not do so because this album is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine but it must be done. I would have given this album a much lower rating if it didn't have a couple of saving qualities.
You could say that the production was purposefully done the way it was because she was inventing her own sound. She was trying to break away from the girl-rock movement but it isn't enough for me. I'm not a believer. her sound is still much too similar to artists before her time. I can't believe that the production quality was an attempt to be different. I have to believe that it was an unfortunate attempt to sell a lot of records with someone else's style. If only Courtney Love, PJ Harvey, and Liz Phair had not have beaten her to the punch.

Fantastic angst
This album would be in my top 100 purely for the fact that it contains the five singles, you oughta, hand in, you learn, ironic and head over....
However it also contains some really great album tracks , which make it, as a whole a fantastic album.
Brilliant

I have every reason to hate this album. Alanis was the Tiffany of Canada. She breaks up with Felix Potvin (NHL goalie) and gets taken advantage of by a record executive, and she develops this anger... which subsequently was played to DEATH on Canadian radio. Every station. Even country. All the while, she comes across as pretentious, entitled, and a little phony.
But you can't deny the music. This album kicked my ass. Alanis expresses such emotion, she overcomes all the image-crap associated with her. She was fucked over, and she's lashing out in her own way. Just like Nirvana copied the Pixies and Sonic Youth to blow open the door for Pearl Jam and a load of copy-cat shit (Silverchair, Goo Goo Dolls, Bush), Alanis copied Liz Phair and Tori Amos to blow open the door for Fiona Apple and a load of copy-cat shit (Meredith Brooks, Avril Lavigne, Joan Osbourne). A quality album by a flawed artist.

If "Jagged little pill" were a movie, it would be the PG-13 remake of "Exile in Guyville". Which I'm totally okay with, by the way.

Well, technically, Jagged Little Pill wasn't her debut album. This was her third one (as a huge fan of hers, I suggest that you don't get her first or second albums. They SUCK epically).
But yeah, I love this album, even though it isn't that polished. It also happens to have the best harmonica solos since Bob Dylan.
