Alanis Morissette — Flavors Of Entanglement

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 3, 2008 2:56 pm
As she sings on "Moratorium," Alanis Morissette is re-evaluating her priorities, placing a hold on relationships and trying to renew herself. This extends to all of her seventh studio album, which was produced by Guy Sigsworth (Frou Frou, Temposhark). Opening track "Citizen Of The Planet" is nothing new, since it features the...

Alanis Morissette And Matchbox Twenty Remember The '90s

in
By Jill Langlois (CHARTattack) February 25, 2008 3:30 pm
At first I didn't understand pairing Alanis Morissette with Matchbox Twenty, but the reasoning soon became apparent: Friday night at the Air Canada Centre was every '90s child's dream. When I took my seat in the acoustically-challenged arena, however, the 20- and 30-somethings hadn't yet arrived, so I was feeling rather youthful. That is, of...

Alanis Morissette — Jagged Little Pill Acoustic

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) August 2, 2005 10:52 am
You'd think it would be impossible to sell one more copy of Jagged Little Pill, the CD that marked Alanis' "Morissette" debut 10 years ago. The original album's rock-edged single "You Oughta Know" quickly pegged her as the next angry young singer-songwriter, but Morissette soon earned a new rep as mellow, spiritual and happy....

Alanis Morissette — So-Called Chaos

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) May 18, 2004 11:15 am
Alanis’ fourth "grown-up" album sees the singer/professional diarist in a happier mood than her last burst of self-expression, 2002’s Under Rug Swept. With each album, Alanis gets a little less angry and while that means she’ll likely never recapture the fire of Jagged Little Pill, her music is also becoming more consistent (and...

Pumping: Alanis Morissette — MTV Unplugged

Submitted by The Stereo on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 12:11pm
in
By The Stereo (CHARTattack) January 16, 2009 12:11 pm
This album heralded Alanis' decline and her descent into wimp-dom. I mean, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie wasn't that great in the first place, but at least she had the guts to do that nakey video for "Thank U." What's funny is a lot of these songs are from Jagged Little Pill, but as acoustic renditions, they just don't hold up.
