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 raw emotion in Alanis's voice is unsettling, on some tracks I would even say it's the sound of someone losing their sh*t. But it's believable and very powerful. The lyrics are intelligent and pull no punches. The music is strong enough to match the power of the vocals, with several excellent songs. Maybe her vocals come off a bit affected at times. Nevertheless, I do find this a great album. "Head Over Feet" possibly the most moving pure love song I've heard. This album did move me, so a rare and unique album as well.

Jagged Little Pill is much more than an album; it's a manifesto of the angst and rage that defined an era. Released in 1995, at the height of alternative rock, Alanis Morissette not only blazed a trail, but kicked it, with a brutal honesty that resonated with millions.
The album is a sonic catharsis. From the first guitar riff in "You Oughta Know," you know there's no turning back. Alanis's voice is a weapon: visceral, powerful, and filled with an anger so palpable it makes you shudder. Each song is a chapter in a personal diary, from the vengeful fury of "You Oughta Know" to the introspective melancholy of "Ironic" to the vulnerability of "Head Over Feet." Alanis isn't afraid to show her scars, and that authenticity is her greatest strength.
Glen Ballard's production is masterful, blending raw, distorted guitars with catchy pop melodies, creating a unique sound that served as a soundtrack for a generation that felt misunderstood. Jagged Little Pill not only addresses failed relationships but also hypocrisy, disillusionment, and the search for identity. It's an album that makes you feel seen and heard.
Jagged Little Pill is a timeless testament to female rage in music, an album that gave permission for a multitude of artists to be unashamedly honest. It's a reminder of a time when music wasn't afraid to be raw, real, and achingly beautiful. (Edited)

Great songwriting. Top sequencing with no filler. Any of the tracks on this could have been pushed as singles. This is quite a masterpiece in its own right. (Edited)
