The new Alanis album “Flavors of Entanglement” dropped today. There is the regular version or a deluxe version with an additional 5 bonus tracks. Any Alanis fan will want the deluxe version of course just to get themselves more Miss Morissette.
The album streamed on VH1.com last week, so I gave it a listen there then. I ordered it from iTunes and actually got it last night. This is without a doubt her BEST album since “Jagged Little Pill.” I absolutely love love love it.
Alanis is back to her angry roots, as this album plays to her breakup with Ryan Reynolds. She’s also for some songs tapped back into her Canadian dance-pop roots a bit, as some of the songs have a very electro-dance-techno aspect to them, but not the sugary 80s kind. Some Alanis fans might hate this, but I love this aspect to the album. It gives it a harder edge believe it or not (think NiN actually).
If I had more than two thumbs, I’d give it more than two thumbs up!
i love Alanis but I really didn’t like this album upon first listen. I might have to give it another try though after ur rave review here.
Hey Dustin!
I have ordered this deluxe album, but it didn’t arrive yet.
Last friday, the 13th of June I went to her concert. She performed in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) as part of her 2008 World Tour. I had never seen Alanis in concert and I was positively surprised! What a great concert it was!
Can’t wait till the new album drops in my mail box.
Some nice videos were posted of the Alanis concert in Amsterdam. They’re not mine. I hate the sound quality, but at least it gives a nice impression of the concert… 🙂
