Alanis Morissette delivers a candid record of confessions that mix anger and liberation.
The songs effortlessly cross the boundaries between guitar rock and pop, sublimating personal emotions into universal messages. "You Oughta Know" is a torrent of intense emotion, while "Ironic" weaves irony and philosophy, creating a diverse album. The production, co-written with Glen Ballard, is also excellent, making this a historic work that opened up new horizons for female rock.
