Product description

Product Description

On So-called Chaos Alanis Morissette sounds paradoxically like a woman who has found her own peace with the world. So-called Chaos finds her in a life-affirming, positive place, making music that in a sense sums up her past strengths along with some newfound maturity and perspective. The resulting album is a set of Morissette's most adult and compelling songs, compositions that more than ever explore life's emotional dualities.

Amazon.co.uk

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.

Over exposure 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 cosongwriter 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

    5.0 out of 5 stars A bright shining light in a sea of musical darkness.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2004
    Verified Purchase
    It's fantastic everyone should go and buy it. And judging the Amazon sales rankings everyone already has. I love this woman she's a bright shining light in a see of musical darkness and cheap plastic pop. This is woman who isn't afraid to bear her soul for all to see, leave herself exposed and by doing as much she inspires me to be more open. The First track, (Eight Easy Steps) is one of the best I've heard from her. It says something, it's lyrical and has this wonderful bouncy rhythm to it, and it just makes you wanna dance. It's a bit short though, only 10 tracks and about 45 minutes long. There's all sorts of added extra's on it though. But who's interested in that, just give me the music. Like some have said it does seem a little overproduced and a tad mainstream, a far stretch from Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. But her profound and utterly unique lyrics are still there and isn't this what makes her?
    Give yourself a soul feed, buy it and love it.
    It's a fantastic world when a woman like this can sell bucket loads of records, I feel blessed that God created her.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Never Mind 8 Easy Steps - Try 10 Brilliant Songs!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2004
    Verified Purchase
    This is easily the best album Alanis Morissette has produced. Catchy, exciting, agressive and full of the trademark self-deprecating/poetic lyrics. Sure, there's only 10 songs -sure, it only goes on for a little over 40 minutes - but when every one of those songs, and every one of those minutes are as good as this - you can't complain. Every song has something about it that you can't help falling in love with - from the catchy Eight Easy Steps & Knees of my Bees, to the amazing sound of Doth I Protest Too Much and the simply ingenious So-Called Choas (which, i.m.o, is the best song she's ever done) with it's fantastic melody and awesome guitars.
    Other high-lights include: Excuses, The Grudge, Spineless and (of course) the wonderful Everything.
    Overall, this album is a clear-cut case of quality over quantity - it never gets boring, the music is exciting and the lyrics are poetry-in-motion!
    So go on and treat yourself to a little bit of chaos - I promise you'll be glad you did.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fine album!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2015
    Verified Purchase
    For me, I like this album- it is filled with catchy tunes, and Alanis's wonderful vocals. It's not my favourirte album but, I do prefer it to Under Rug Swept, which, although isn't bad feels less inspired with little that jumps out at me. Here, however, there isn't, in my humble opinion, one bad track-7 and 8 being my least favourites on the album- Yet 4. Doth I protest too much, 5.Knees of My Bees, 6. So- called chaos and 9.Spineless stand out as the most enjoyable- with no complaints on the rest. Alanis does sound happier here-, it isn't a dark sounding album- and, if you are a fan , like me, you would want this as part of your collection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 傑作
    Reviewed in Japan on 20 May 2004
    Verified Purchase
    今回は上手く今までのマンネリ感を回避し良作に出来上がった印象。
    今までの作品に比べ激しいロックナンバーが多く非常に前向きなものが多くどちらかというと‘ポップアルバム’という感じであるが　This　Grudge　や　Not　all　me　や先行シングル　everything　のような美しくアラニス自身の感情がびしびし伝わるミディアム・バラードもある。なにより、今回はサウンドが今までに比べてシンプルで新しい試みのものも多い。　Knees　of　my　knees　や　Eight　Easy　Steps　や
    表題曲　So－called　chaos　のような曲があげられるだろう。
    ボーナス・トラックは　everything　のバンクーバー・セッションで
    個人的にはこちらのシンプルな引き語りの方が好きだ。
    CD　EXTRA　の　This　Grudge　のアコースティック・バージョンは
    非常に美しいピアノのみのシンプルな弾き語りで涙腺を刺激してくる。
    スタジオ音源もありアラニスの迷いが吹っ切れた表情も見られる。
    今回は非常に勇気を与えてくれる作品に仕上がった。
    今までアラニスを敬遠気味だった人にもぜひ聞いてもらいたい。
