Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis Morissette

Pros: 17 songs, 17 great songs. Well, maybe 15.
Cons: Alanis learned true irony the hard way.

It's funny how an artist can sell 15 million of a single record, and almost never be talked about le ...

Pros: Some moments of musical talent, Some decent lyrics/good sense of philosophy, Moments of voice
Cons: Most of the production,Much of the music is generic and closer to chanting than harmonic

So, I'm back after a little vacation in which I took on a few weeks of factory work that is absolutely miserable. My fingers are swollen and cracked from repeated beatings and I return to Epinions eager because I have an hour commute each way to and ...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Listener must be willing to invest time in album.

My journey with Alanis Morissette has been a long and strange one. Much like fellow mid-90's singer/songwriter starlet Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette's songs have been played on the radio since before I can remember. So while I was familiar ...

Pros: Much more mature than Jagged Little Pill; at times is wonderfully listenable
Cons: Repeated use of repeated phrases repeatedly through songs that she frequently repeats.

When Alanis released the typecast "man-hating" album Jagged Little Pill in 1995, I was a rabid anti-fan.

Pros: beautiful music, insightful lyrics
Cons: still looking for any

I have to admit I'm a little late on the bandwagon with this CD. It was released in 1998 and I just purchased it yesterday. I have Alanis' first CD, "Jagged Little Pill" which I loved, but I guess I just assumed she would be in the same sophomore slump...

Pros: Philosophical, sometimes even uplifting songs that are better than most stuff on the radio today
Cons: Not for everybody, 17 tracks is a bit of overkill

After her first CD came out, I was an Alanis Morissette fan. I was fascinated by her songs and her voice. Although my mom compared her voice to a cat painfully dying, I loved it. So I rushed out the day her second CD was released and gladly forked out...

Pros: Many nice songs and cohesive purpose
Cons: Some odd experimental things which barely qualify as music to my ears

I was a huge fan of “Jagged Little Pill” when I bought it a few months ago, so when I came across this follow up album at reduced price, I got quite excited. The opening of ‘Front Row’ came as something of a shock. Alanis Morissette appears to have...

Pros: A few good songs
Cons: A few bad 'uns

There is a problem when an artist has a hugely successful album, one thing that they are all scared of. The thing that worries them is making their next album as successful and popular as the last one. This has afflicted many bands/artists, a couple of...

Pros: witty, in her forthcoming way
Cons: drawn out conventialism

You know, the real problem with Alanis Morissette is the weight of expectancy that surrounds her. Her listeners can be broken down into three groups; those who are perpetually annoyed by her nasal whinning but pay attention to put her down. Those...

Pros: Beautiful, Brilliant Album
Cons: May be a little too soft for people expecting another "Jagged Little Pill"

I recently had a chance to catch an Alanis concert, in Israel, and it was simply amazing! The raw intensity of this beautiful young woman on stage along with some of the world's top musicians was simply marvelous. I was in the front row ("the front...

Pros: Awesome singles and many other rocking, dancing and ballady tracks. Work of art.
Cons: On an 18 track album there's sure to be some duds.

Damn this woman is annoying!
I used to think that, after all her tracks from Jagged Little Pill were overplayed on the radio. But no more. Why? Because after about a year of her new album being released I decided to have a listen and wow! There are...

Pros: formula sound is not altogether unpleasant
Cons: lyrics; little artistic progress since Jagged Little Pill

Apparently, Alanis Morissette’s jagged little pill habit has gotten tragically out of hand. Sad to say, but in the three brief years separating freshman effort from sophomore offering(1), she has become a junkie. A “supposed former infatuation junkie,”...

Pros: music appropriate for all audiences, good beats and lyrics, soothing
Cons: none i can think of

In late 1998, one of the best sophomore albums ever released by an artist was released. That was "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" by Alanis Morisette. This album was not given it's due credit for quite some time but is now starting to...

Pros: Great album with awesome mixtures of edge and softness, and lyrics are deep
Cons: The only flaw I find, is people who mis-understood this album and Alanis in general.

When Alanis Morissette debuted in 1995 with her album Jagged Little Pill, she did not realize just what this album would exactly do to her! She shared her truth and exposed alot of her soul, her pain, and in some cases her humor and joy! Jagged ...

Pros: grown up Alanis, Lots of songs
Cons: Alanis repeats a lot of words at the beginning of the verse "how bout how bout how bout"

Being a huge Alanis Morissette fan since the start of her "American" career in 1995, I anxiously held my breath for the new album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie to be released on November 3rd, 1998. From hearing "Thank U" on the...
