Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 69/500!
When Alanis Morissette targeted an ex-boyfriend who had wronged her with her reckoning lines in the song "You Oughta Know" in 1995, everything about the Top 10 song communicated it wasn't the usual narrative about love gone south. Or the typical wounded singer wallowing in self pity. Morissette, and both the lead single from and her entire American major-label debut — the profoundly personal Jagged Little Pill — represented a sea change. They kickstarted a movement, one whose impact continues to echo throughout the mainstream nearly three decades later.
"Jagged Little Pill" was voted number 69 of the best albums of all time by Rolling Stone and sold over 17 million records in the USA alone and over 33 million worldwide! With 3 times diamond, 130 times platinum and 3 times gold status, it is one of the 20 best-selling albums in history! In addition, "Jagged Little Pill" received four Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, and eight Juno Awards. In 2018, the album became the basis for a musical that received 15 Tony nominations on Broadway.
Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set of Jagged Little Pill presents the landmark effort in audiophile-grade sound for the first time. A key part of the record's appeal and accessibility — Glen Ballard's smooth production, touches that help Morissette's exposed-nerve fare seem more accessible and melodic — comes through on this special 30th anniversary edition with an openness, presence, and dynamic explosiveness that make the vocalist's songs that much more real and visceral.
The singer's distinctive mezzo-soprano deliveries — the octave-rippling highs, dark-hued lows, dramatic crescendos, belted choruses, wispy reflections, occasional yodels — resonate with full-range ardor and depth. As crucial as anything on the record, Morissette's confessional words take center stage like never before. Ditto the instrumentation and atmospherics that form the magnetic backgrounds of the songs. Key in on the contributions from Red Hot Chili Peppers Dave Navarro and Flea on "You Oughta Know" to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' co-founder Benmont Tench's organ playing on six tracks.
The deluxe packaging of Mobile Fidelity's Jagged Little Pill UD1S set underscores the work's distinguished status. Housed in a slipcase, the LPs come in special foil-stamped jackets with faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. Benefitting from an ultra-low noise floor, superior groove definition, and dead-quiet surfaces, this UD1S reissue is for listeners who prize sound quality and desire to engage themselves in everything involved with the album, including the now-iconic cover art that juxtaposes two portraits of the then-21-year-old singer-songwriter and features typewriter font.
The album is a statement, an attitude, a soundtrack – for all those who are looking for inspiration, an outlet or a reason to finally be themselves. The intimacy, honesty and catharsis with which Morissette works on "Jagged Little Pill" is amazing. Named after a phrase from the clever song "You Learn", the album explores the emotions, inner contradictions and longing desires that people feel every day but often don't dare to express out of fear – without fear or shyness. Much like a woman reading from her diary, Morissette leaves nothing to the imagination as she pokes fun at hypocrisy in the poignant "Forgiven," demands vengeance in the vengeful "You Oughta Know," and pours out her heart in the soul-cleansing "All I Really Want." Despite all the anger and bitterness that is said about the singer and the album, "Jagged Little Pill" is incredibly vital and optimistic. Morissette uses catchy pop-rock structures: There's the clever longing of "Hand In My Pocket", the ironic controversy of "Ironic", the goodness of "Hand Over Feet" and the live-and-let-live attitude of "You Learn" – all positive and endearing.
The numbered, strictly limited and numbered double LP box of "Jagged Little Pill", strictly limited to 4,000 copies, was remastered from the original tapes especially for this edition in the Californian MoFi studio and pressed in the sonically superior ultra-disc one-step process on 180 gram SuperVinyl (45 rpm) at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, USA. The records are housed in foil-embossed sleeves, the luxurious slipcase comes with the iconic artwork that underlines the sonic splendor of this new edition. Originally released in 1995, the masterpiece shines in rich timbres thanks to the one-step version of MFSL: Glen Ballard's smooth production comes into its own here with an openness, presence and dynamic explosiveness that make the singer's songs even more haunting. "Jagged Little Pill" transcends generations, genders, trends and is therefore a timeless classic that belongs in every well-stocked record collection!
Ironic? Anything but. Jagged Little Pill transcends generations, gender, and trends. As Morissette sings on the opening "All I Really Want,", the album represents "deliverance" — "a place to find common ground."
