Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0093624855521 Format: Enhanced Label: Maverick Manufacturer: Maverick MPN: 48555 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Maverick Release Date: May 18, 2004 Studio: Maverick Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It's been a long time in coming, but with So Called Chaos Alanis Morisette has finally produced a worthy follow up to her globe-conquering debut. Calmer and more focused, the songs exude a new, mature woman, firmly in control of her life. "I'm not threatened by every pair of legs you watch go by," she sings with Zen-like serenity on "I Doth Protest Too Much" (as if she'd have said that on Jagged Little Pill). Time mellows--leave the angst to Avril Lavigne. Overexposure once made her fantastic voice grate, but now it's like welcoming back an old friend--that distinctive little warble, that softness…it's her most valuable asset and the simple, clean production wisely allows it to breathe freely. Most of the songs follow a slow, quiet verse/loud sucker chorus pattern and there's nothing on here that rivals anything from her debut, but everybody (including herself) has accepted that now. The absence of a world-class co-songwriter plays a part, but it's a refreshing change to see no external involvement. Accept Morisette for what she is--a female singer/songwriter with an exceptional, original voice and you won't be disappointed. --Ben Johncock Average Rating:
 Rating: - Dark sounding, decent mixes/effects on the songsIf you are already a fan of Alanis' fan, you won't be disappointed. There are a few dark sounding songs with decent mixes and effects. It has got some of the Infatuation junkie feel to the album. In my opinion, it's a satisfying release. Notable songs i enjoy are: So-called chaos, not all me, spinless and eight easy steps. 1 star was deducted for the number of songs on this album. A few more please next time :D Rating: - Short but Cohesive : Alanis' Most Underrated Work"So Called Chaos" may never reach the cult status of "Jagged Little Pill" or even "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie", but I've always believed this album contains the best set of tunes Alanis has ever released. The only problem is the production, or rather the 'over' production that takes away from the melodies a little. However, this is very much a repeat-play album and it will take you a good six to seven full spins to truly appreciate. Eastern-tinged tracks such as "Knees of my ... Read More Rating:  - All Aspect of LivingI received "So-Called Chaos" on MP3 about three months ago. And I am stilling loving listening to it! I have always enjoyed Alanis Morissette, but this is my all-time favorite. I have to say that I don't think there is one song on this CD that could have been written just to be a fun song. Every song on "So-Called Chaos" is meaningful, and pertains to intense spiritual and personal growth that many of us are currently facing. "Excuses," my favorite track, ...

Love permeates through this disc, but never allows you to feel it without paying dearly prior to. Rating: - wtf???Under rug swept and beyond alanis sucks. Before under rug she was awesome. This new album sounds like Avril....Shameful!!! |
