Though the mainstream might have all but abandoned Alanis Morrissette since her mid-90s breakthrough as the MTV grunge generation's Madonna, she has forged on with a handful of albums of a reasonably steely consistency, although even kindly ears would recognize her output since Jagged Little Pill as reduced strength versions of that celebrated album. Its slightly convoluted follow up, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, remains her most intriguing if long-winded work, and with her most recent record (2004's So Called Chaos) more or less finding peace with itself--filing down the angsty internal dialogues and sounding almost content even at its loudest points--the future seemed to be heading on a downward spiral. But talk about an about turn. With Flavours Of Entanglement the bronco is very much bucking once more, often causing whiplash-inducing stylistic swerves. "Citizen Of The Planet" opens the album, erupting out of eastern strings and a sequenced underlay with blunt, compressed guitars and thumping beats, sweeping through desolate plains previously inhabited by nu metal fantasists Evanescence. The dark tension is upheld through the robotic techno of "Straightjacket" and dark string-laden drum `n' bass of "Moratorium." Landing amid the lonely Tori Amos balladry of "Not As We," Texas-pop of "In Praise Of The Vulnerable Man," and the more typical Alanis fare of "Underneath," this is an often unsettlingly mixed bag achieving varying levels of success, but it is also probably her most emotionally satisfying work for a decade. -- James Berry

The first studio album from Alanis Morissette since 2004, Flavors Of Entanglement fuses the organic and the techno—prompted by producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Björk). Incorporating beats, loops and synthesizers, the album was designed, says Morissette, so listeners can "dance your face off." Balancing introspective confession and delirious joy, the global and the personal, Flavors Of Entanglement is a tasty new musical feast from one of pop's most intriguing artists.

- Another Spiritual Journey for the Attentive Listener
I've been struck ever since I was the co-administrator of the now-ancient Alanis Morissette Mailing List all-mensa yakathon waaaaaaay back in '96 how many =males= were into this supposedly "feminist" artist.
I've been struck by her millennial-era recycling of the Gestaltism and other Asian-influenced perspectives of the late '60s and early '70s, as well as the "poisonous pedagogy" movement of the '80s and '90s.
I've been struck by her ability to walk right through any ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Alanis Morissette Music!
This is Alanis at her best.The song 'Not As We' is heartbreaking, vulnerable and beautiful.I thought she would never again do anything as fabulous as her first album "Jagged Little Pill" and I personally thought maybe she never would, but this proved me wrong.Her heart on her sleeve, her vulnerable words, and the plaintive tone in her voice is enough to move even the most heartless!She has moved in maturity from anger to pain to vulnerability and now has some real wisdom to impart from her ...

Rating: - Gotta have it!
Although I love all her CDs, Supposed Informer Infatuation Junkie has been my favorite thus far, but this new CD may top it.I absolutely LOVE it - it comes with 2 discs, both are great.The songs have a variety of different moods and it makes you want to put the CD on repeat for the whole album, then random, then repeat on your new favorite song.I LOVE IT!I can't say that enough!!
Rating: - Continued evolution of a songwriter
Far from running out of steam, Alanis continues to evolve as a songwriter.This album isn't a reinvention, it's not unlike what she's done before, it's not something new or someone new.But it's also not a retread.It's a new version of the things that made Alanis great, a new step in her development.Nothing on this album feels like filler.
Admittedly, nothing on this album feels like the immediately infectious hooks of some of the previous albums.This is not a few singles on an ... Read More
Rating: - Flavors of Entanglement
I was very impressed with this CD and the condition in which it arrived.Some of the songs were mixed very well (by Guy Sigsworth) and others were a little too angry for my taste.Over all, I would recommend it.
