Outstanding Release by Alanis Morissette (2008-07-15)

I'll be brief. This is by far one of the best releases of 2008. Alanis Morissette's latest is outstanding in every regard. The songs are heartfelt testimonies to loss, love, friendship, heartbreak, release, redemption, forgiveness, and sorrow at things imagined, but never realized. The production is superb; the CD holds wonderfully well as a song cycle; and Alanis has never sounded better. Five stars all the way!

One who hears the cries of the world (2008-06-14)

"I am a citizen of the planet My laws are all of attraction My punishments are consequences Separating from source the original sin" (Alanis Morissette - "Citizen of the Planet") Back when I started reviewing on Amazon.com, I was asked to name my favorite artistes, and without pausing I chose Alanis Morissette and Queen. Well, many years later, Freddy Mercury's passed on, but Alanis still reigns. Her music and lyrics are intelligent, thought provoking, honest, and most definitely non-mainstream and anti-karaoke. The album starts off with "Citizen of the Planet" a track with a Middle Eastern vibe, and a shout out to Kwan Yin, the Buddhist Goddess whose name means "One who hears the cries of the world". The second track is the first single "Underneath", a mid-tempo track with a soaring chorus about people who aren't communicating effectively. This is emphasized when she sings "Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues". An excellent track by any yardstick. Other noteworthy tracks are "Straitjacket" (PA lyrics, bass heavy dance beat on the chorus); "Versions of Violence" (one of my favorites, rock beat); "Not As We" (plaintive piano-backed ballad); "Moratorium" (classic Morissette); "Torch" and "Giggling Again for no Reason" (simply beautiful - music, lyrics, everything). The album closes with the second single "Incomplete", an Alanis-styled ballad and second shortest track, where she seems to describe her career when she sings "Ever unfolding / Ever expanding / Ever adventurous and torturous / But never done" Another great album, no filler material, and definitely a keeper.
