Members Adam Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Alanis is back. Its been four years since she last released a studio record, and that was 2004's So-Called Chaos. I have heard about 4 tracks so far from the upcoming record, and as an Alanis fan I am very excited and intrigued. So-Called Chaos was a complete flop commercially, and a flop in general for me. It did not feel like an Alanis record. Alanis teamed up with Guy Sigsworth for this offering, who has worked with many artists including Madonna and Bjork. Interesting combination don't you think? Here is the video for the lead single "Underneath" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Sadly, I did, too. Not that I ever liked her all that much. She just seems so last decade, sort of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 2shane8 Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 My favorite album by her is Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, although Under Rug Swept is up there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hey Shane...nothing else grabbed me from the other albums. At one point is seemed like she vanished from the music world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted June 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 That's because she wanted too. JLP brought her worldwide fame that she didn't know quite how to deal with. After JLP, she told many that she never wanted to create a piece of music ever again. Following spiritual journeys to India and other places, she felt more at ease with herself which allowed her to write again. Alanis' best work has come following JLP in terms of rawness and emotional power. JLP was the album that affected everyone, her later records are much more personal and do not appeal to everyone. The money she made off of JLP and continues to make from it allows her to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 2shane8 Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 I have only listened to the CD once, but I think it's going to rank among her finest work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted June 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 Alanis continues to try new sounds and ways to express herself. Flavors of Entanglement is the perfect blend of anger, sadness, and happiness. Alanis has struck a great balance and to my surprise her vocals fit perfectly with some of Guy Sigsworth more sonic and modern sounds. Very good fit. Very good record. Shane, what are some of your favourite songs on the album? I am in love with Versions of Violence and Moratorium and Straitjacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 2shane8 Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 "Underneath," "Straitjacket," and "Not As We" are my immediate favorites, but I am loving the entire album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
