Unlike most Radiohead albums, which generally challenge the listener to delve into their minds( Kid A, Ok Computer, Amnesiac) this album brings the listener to the deepest parts of their souls. An introspective album that captures darkness, beauty, and range of emotions of the human condition. Radiohead may have strayed very far from this sound in their future albums, but that only adds to the gravitas and significance of this emotional journey. Best Tracks: Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit Fade Out, High and Dry "  [+]  Reply

Jarvis is the most British of the bunch capturing Albarn's campiness and the Galleghar brothers bravado in one fail swoop. Lust & licentiousness, class warfare & social mischief its all here and its a hell of a lot of fun while also expertly crafted."  [+]  Reply

"This is the greatest album of all time. Every sound and word is pure gold. If you don't like this I don't know what is wrong with you. It is the perfect collaboration between an MC, The GZA, and a producer, The RZA. I don't think it gets any better and it is #1 to me."  Reply

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.
