And all I really want is some peace, man

I like the vocal affectations, the guitar and the intensity.
And the lyrics are really good too.

Nice follow after Bastille, William. Not lost on me. Good intuition!!!

She is masterful at emotional deep dives. She gets turned upside down and messy and out comes very compelling and insightful lyrics and music. Grateful for her.

Her intensity is palpable and I love the Beatle-esque lead guitar tone!

I like a bit Alanis, just not this bit.

I ran to turn it off. Makes me feel unsettled every time.  Such an angry voice.
Funny thing is that I thought it was cool when my teenage daughter listened to it when it first came out. 
Posted 1 year ago by gregerigeraldine    [ Reply ]
The singing style just doesn't work for me. The extreme vocal slippage would be fine when used sparingly as on You Oughta Know, but here there's just way too much of it.
Posted 1 year ago by DrLex    [ Reply ]
I used to like her when she first came out, but now her voice really grates on my nerves. This comes from somebody who likes Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. 
Posted 1 year ago by smartn1    [ Reply ]
I'm in the minority.  Always liked this, especially the guitar backing.
and yes, I like her voice.

Love the drumming and Alanis’ roller coaster like vocal lines. Guitar has some 60s vibe too. Cool song.

Holy cow, look at that graph.  It's lighting up red.  I'm sick of "You Oughta Know" but this one is pretty decent.

Funny story-Glen Ballard, the producer for this great recording, is from Meridian, MS (my home state). After the success of the album (five grammys) the city leaders decided to have a "Glen Ballard Day" celebration. During the meeting regarding the accolade, they played the entire album. After listening they called off the special day due to the explicit lyrics. Ridiculous but true.

I never expected so much hate for Alanis at RP.  Don't really get why. You might not like her music, but why the hate?

Why are you so petrified of silence
Here, can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?

Truly!  Great voice, but what is she trying to do with it?

Ah, memories of driving around the west LA freeways in my mid-20's when this hit the radio.  Grunge and Alt Rock had blown away the 80's Milli Vanilli and Madonna from much of the airwaves.  A lot of new and different sounds were coming out, not from committees and corporate songwriting teams, but individual artists.  This was fresh and different - and I liked it
Posted 5 years ago by obankenobi    [ Reply ]
I don't care.  I like it.  She's great in concert, too.

Never had a lot of time for Alanis, but listening to this now I'm really liking the rhythm and imagining it's a terrible karaoke version of a Beck song.

This sounds like a conversation during a bad date. Or maybe a perfect one? Or an overacted scene?

Either of the three...or another of your own choice...this song rocks.

Ha ha! Haven't heard this for a good 25yrs. Reminds me of a rather fraught relationship with a girl from Alaska, who was as crazy as Alanis sounds. Thanks Bill

This aged really bad - she rerecordes the album 2005 in an accoustic version. there one can see, that the songs actually are quite good. its just a horrific production here, despite its succes in the 90ies

I don’t know what I think of this as a song but it just takes me back to my teens so I’ll give a worthy score for making me remember a time when I didn’t care about the price of Nivea Q10

I missed this one for the most part back in the day--probably 'cause I was switching the FM station or running away from the speaker. An angry screed that hasn't aged well.

Ms. Morissette was actually upstaged last night by Crystal Bowersox, whose voice and performance were anything but pathetic.  I think if you had seen the performance you would have noticed that Morissette felt the same way as I do.  Of course she wrote the song, which is a more impressive feat in my mind.  But the Idol contestant clearly has the better vocal ability.  No contest. 

 
I have different spin on this. I think Alanis recognized the moment was not about her but rather Crystal's and took an appropriate back seat. Hard for some to leave ego at the door.

Totally agree.  Sometimes I'm in the mood for it and other times I'm not.  It's really black or white.  Evocative, but. . . . not today, thank you.

Please... let this be the last time she ever darkens this channel.

Banal lyrics, pretentious vocal 'stylings' and overplayed, cliche progressions.  She is the 'Tiffany' of alternative songwriting.

There is soooo much, that is sooo much better than this.  She belongs in the dustbin of mediocrity.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH, Turin Brakes.  Thanks, Bill.
