Under Rug Swept (Alanis Morissette)

Alanis is my favorite music performer and song writer. I love every CD and recommend them all to anyone who wants to hear the truth, be inspired and heal their heart.

Alanis' melodic turns are a thing of beauty. I've come to depend on her for melody with substance. So very glorious to my ears and my tears.

this is where alanis was made herself no longer valid in the good music industry.

I wasn't as into this album as some of her other albums, but still her work is wonderful.

Some will say that Alannis is caught up in the fervor of lyrics and will sentence the fullness of "song" in this magnificent album to the gallows. But when put to test, the full force, words and music, of Flinch and Hands Clean as well as others on this album have to cause one to demand a re-run. Flinch has to be one of the finest songs of the period: pulsing with energy, caustic yet soothing; this song itself has to be the gem that completes the transition from Jagged Pill's subway high school diva to Central Park grown-up lover.

Most of the "bubble gum" and synth-pop of the 1980s was beginning to fade, yet Morissette's anger just seemed too raw for me to absorb at the time. However as the subsequent singles from Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album were released, I soon began to see more than an angry young woman. When I listened to "Jagged Little Pill" in its entirety, I realized that this album lived up to all of the hype. Not only did this album garner critical acclaim, but it was one of the best selling albums of all-time. When there is a monster album, expectations are usually through the roof for a follow-up album, and while Morissette's "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" was still a very good album and sold well, many considered it a d...

Not a bad cd, but it doesn't even come close to the impact of Jagged Little Pill.
