I looked over the track listing before I hit play and I guessed that I know all but a few of these songs via general exposure, but I haven’t ever sat down and just listened to them before.
I think the thing with me and Alanis Morissette is that I needed to just accept that her voice is unconventional and that if I could just go with that and listen to the songs I could get a real sense of this album.
It was hard for the first song as it starts off with a bit of a caterwauling but things settled in and since I was already sort of familiar with this, it wasn’t all that shocking as it progressed.
I think most of the songs are good, the backing guitar is nice and they are catchy and memorable. Some of the lyrics are a bit cringey but whatever. It’s different, it’s unique and I like and respect that from an artist. I think I kind of liked it.
