Flavors of Entanglement
By Alanis Morrissette, 2008

2 1/2 of 5 stars

Alanis Morissette’s best album will always be Jagged Little Pill. Most artists achieve this musical perfection on their 2nd or 3rd release. It must be extremely difficult to top one’s self, but she continues to write songs and put out new records. Morissette’s songwriting is at its best when she has a broken heart, and there are 2 stellar tracks on “Flavors of Entanglement” to prove it: “Not as We” and “Torch.” The rest of the tracks are OK, but often too wordy and hard to understand, as well as the production making her sound a bit too much like Evanescence. Still, Flavors is worth a couple repeats in your stereo. It will grow on you.
