Alanis Morissette - So-Called Chaos sync listen

[Iguana]

Here's the obligatory "I WORK TOO MUCH!" whiner from multi-millionaire Alanis Morissette.

EXCUSE ME, she releases an album once every EIGHT YEARS thanks very much

 

[BoysForSeles]

So Called Chaos. I hate lazy female artist comparisons, it’s reductive, but I always feel she wrote this subconsciously having heard Tori’s ‘Cruel’. Regardless it’s a good track.

 

[Tisch]

Moaning about deadlines and broken contracts when her last album took right years

TOO PROLIFIC according to Enya

I LOVE the title track. So dark-sounding.

Another over-achiever's anthem, @Barnacle

i've been interrupted.

would love recommendations in the end of the best trax though.

 

[Iguana]

I adore "expectations-up-to-living"

 

[Tisch]

The Chorus is rather ROUSING on this isn't it? Imagining her naked in the Thank U video having all this life swirling around her.

 

[COB]

Not knowing the context this is a fabulous frustration anthem, but LOL at it after these LAZYBONES accusations

I'm in a very Alanis-ish place today I think.

 

[Jark]

definitely the only song I've heard all year that calls out ULCERS. I think this is my first toilet break moment of the night.

08.5 Out is Through
08 Excuses
08.5 Doth I Protest Too Much
08 Bees of My Knees
07 So Called Chaos

There's only TEN tracks!

I love how she'll fit a turn of phrase into a verse WHATEVER IT TAKES.

Canada?

 

[COB]

Halfway through the album already

7. Not All Me

 

[Iguana]

More than!

if you could rate and rank the tracks of every album besides JLP (normal and acoustic) and URS that would be just perfect THANK YOU. x

 

[Tisch]

Not All Me next which is a BIT WEAK but also rather lovely. I really like the strings in the intro.

 

[Iguana]

I hope you like this song because she completely recycles it in the song Havoc 7 years later.

Canada?

was thinking self-pity but I'll take Canada if you're offering

 

[jivafox]

I bare the BRUNT of your LONG BURIED PAIN

 

[Iguana]

This can be arranged!

 

[jivafox]

Lest I find my voice
Find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I stay to my limit
And only take on what is mine to...

 

[BoysForSeles]

Not All Me, another one that feels “light” but good enough to get away with it. It kind of sounds like she wrote a song she planned to pitch for the next Sheryl Crow album. That is my last other female act reference, I don’t normally do that.

Giraffe could sing this about me when I've had a small kylie wine

 

[Jark]

I feel we've reached a bit of a mid album lull here. Very pretty chorus though. Did this record spawn any (semi) hits anywhere?

08.5 Out is Through
08 Excuses
08.5 Doth I Protest Too Much
08 Bees of My Knees
07 So Called Chaos
07.5 Not All Me

I think I read this years ago but will revisit. followed by POP! does every Minogue single.

The last track is the first single! That was a semi-hit....her last

To clarify, I mean the last track on the album was the first single (not the last track played)

8. This Grudge

*has a cry for @Diddy to This Grudge*

Everything reached #22 in the UK. It had some radio play though wasn’t omnipresent.

 

[COB]

Me to myself after the admin elections drama last year:

 

[jivafox]

The VISUALS

Like an abandoned house
Dusty covered
Furniture
Still intact
If I visit it now
Will I simply re-live it
Somehow gratuitous

 

[Tisch]

Hope everyone remembers to #cry4diddy on this one!

So This Grudge could be seen as overlong and I used to think it was, but it's got to me more and more as I've got older and more emotional. She really paints a picture of a old dusty relationship that has turned into nothing (and yet she can't let the grudge go)

 

[jivafox]

Maybe as I cut the cord
Veils will lift from my eyes
Maybe as I lay this to rest
Dead weight off my shoulders will rise

Maybe

BfS still bringing the STATS!

 

[Jark]

what's the story about her returning to collaborators after doing URS entirely alone?
