Alanis Morissette - 'Such Pretty Forks In The Road' (and 'Mix') OUT NOW!

[straightorbroken]

Several fucks out of 10.

 

[straightorbroken]

Like ten thousand fucks when all you need is a fuck. Alanis is on a roll.

 

[straightorbroken]

In the words of Keish, where do we go from here? Seriously, surely she's peaked here.

 

[straightorbroken]

Uh hu, Her.

 

[straightorbroken]

This stream of Alanis unconscious is quite something.

 

[straightorbroken]

Nemesis. What a grand atmospheric moment this already is.

 

[straightorbroken]

No one does gut wrenching splendour like Lanis.

 

[straightorbroken]

If suicidal murmurs and gallant melancholy are your thing, Alanis has burst the pinata for you here.

 

[straightorbroken]

Armies have just marched over me here.

 

[straightorbroken]

WHO is she? Who IS she? Who is SHE?

She is ALANIS.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh 1 more. Pedestal. I'm kind of exhausted and ready for the 10s again.

 

[straightorbroken]

One day you'll see you've not yet seen me is somewhat recycled from Strait-Jacket.

 

[straightorbroken]

This has quickly burst its bombs beautifully.

 

[straightorbroken]

The album is a proverbial giant piece of life hitting the fan and the most beauty I've experienced from Alanis since she flashed her moose in the Thank U video. The suffering, the relief, what an album. Worth the wait.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm still so satisfied and utterly beguiled by this album. A covid cushion if ever I needed one.

 

[VoR]

It grew on me after a few listens too.

 

[jivafox]

 

[Tisch]

"with my vocals" thanks for letting us know!

 

[jivafox]

Imagine if she released the song under her name with that cover and it wasn’t

 

[Tisch]

I guess she's just making it clear that it's not the musical version, but still a very ODD thing to say about YOUR OWN SONG.

 

[Iguana]

At least she's CLAIMING her vocals

 

[straightorbroken]

I don't think this song is ultimately successful, but I'm glad she goes there, here, with the subject matter:



What I get with the lyrics is the powerlessness to find the words, even for Alanisaurus, and to figure out what is happening in these conditions (that's condisheeyons in Alanis). Taken from my upcoming playlist This Shit's Making Me Crazy/Skewed Interpret.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh

 

[Iguana]

I still haven't listened to Predator. I think I'm sitting on it in the knowledge we'll probably not hear from her again for 8 years

 

[straightorbroken]

Same post, different vocals I guess

 

[jivafox]

 

[Cerro de Casa]

She released some 'limited signed prints' on her web store for £399 or something. Taking the piss.

 

[Marilyn]

I very belatedly listened to this for the first time yesterday and I enjoyed it more than any Alanis album in... I don't even know when. Love the remixes too

I have all her albums but I rarely enjoyed them much as full-length pieces (aside from JLP and SFIJ). This one was holding my attention all the way through

 

[jivafox]

Well this isn’t as mortifying as I expected. It’s actually very nice.

 

[Generic Account]

Well this isn’t as mortifying as I expected. It’s actually very nice.

It's lovely!

 

[jivafox]

New song (?) “Rest”

 

[Tisch]

It's nice!

Can't wait to never think about playing it again.

 

[funky]

That new song is stunning and her best in a few years IMO

 

[Tisch]

On the Road Again with Willie Nelson (and using 9 year old shots from HABL )

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Give us the deluxe reissue Queen!

 

[jivafox]

Why does Willie look like a ghost watching her from heaven on that single?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Because he probably is

 

[Jark]

Rest is gorgeous.

 

[Tisch]

She's doing some Masked Singer knock off I think?

Oh ​

 

[Iguana]

Oh.
