This CD hasn't left my car player since I bought it! The bonus version extra CD has some of her best work ever.

"Is this Alanis Morissette?" my wife asks from the other room.
"Yeah," I say, "It sucks, doesn't it?"
"I love it!"
Hmmm. Not my favorite Alanis. Nossir.

I have always admired the work of her band, especially her guitarist.

A 7 from me, with potential to rise. I'm not as fond of Wonderkind from the same album though.

So here's my question, do you know how right you are? For example, did you know that she put out an album well before "Jagged Little Pill" that was really, terribly poppy and exploitative and just generally bad? And that before that she was a "star" on a tween comedy show in Canada? I don't know if her management took advantage of her the way you're thinking (she was probably managed by her parents in the earlier parts of her career) but there's no question her talent's been exploited. |

The live version of this track would almost certainly be better; this version seems over-produced. I want to see her shaggy lead guitarist ripping into his music like an over-caffeinated pitbull (click here)... not some Paula Abdul or Michael Jackson number.
I like it.
I think you are right about the potential of this song live and in person. The dynamics would be huge!! |

sheesh, rough crowd here!! When Loreena McKennitt re-invents her sound (for every album) she's praised, but when Alanis does it, she gets no love at all!!
Certainly a change for Alanis...but c'mon - still WAY more mature than her early stuff!! Anyone remember her first pop album? This rises WAY above!!

Can't get past her whiny vocal tone. I don't care how much of a departure it is for her. Her voice is less enjoyable than a razor blade on frosted glass.

Yeah, its a little on the produced side... but this is the first track off this album that sounds like the instrumental part and the singing are for the same song (IMHO).

Yikes...seems that Alanis and this song really strikes a nerve. I really like the building tension of her songs. The Canadian part is ok too.
