Jagged Little Pill

Jagged Little Pill is the third studio album and the first internationally released album by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. It passed me by completely when it was released which is a surprise given that it sold over 30 million copies. One of those copies made its way to a charity shop in Eastbourne where I picked it up for a mere 99p. Suffice to say Alanis is a young woman with "issues" and spends most of the 44 minutes berating her sadness, denial, lack of love, being in unhealthy relationships, forgetting to buy the catfood, forgetting to take her library books back - you get the picture. Some genuinely good tracks for the angst devotee. However, even by the end of the last track there is no serious prospect of her cheering up.
