Alanis Morissette - Flavors of Entanglement

Alanis Morissette - Flavors of Entanglement

P. I give it a C+, On the First song I thought oh crap.. track 3 and 4 were amazing Not As We was a Nice song but that is about it.. Didn't go anywhere.. There are a few songs that I would like to hear again..
I think it had elements of good, and elements of EH..

D. Hmm.. I want Alanis to do better.. I have to give this a C+.. It is ok.. I probably wouldn't turn it off, but wouldn't turn it on either. I may give it a second listen though... The sounds are cool on it though. And I dig into those.. so on the engineering/tracking side I have to give it a B+..

1. Citizen of the Planet
P. This is my fear this album is going to sound like this..
D. Cool Sound, The Aribic Feel is Erie, but the song is a little slow

2. Underneath
P. I would rather hear her cover of my humps.
D. This is ok.. Not sure if I would buy it.. but.. eh.. I wouldn't turn it off.

3. Strait Jacket
P. If I could find a clean version I'd play it.
D. Very Dancy.. Clubby.. I like

So with the guys from Secondhand Serenade here I had a hard time keeping up.. That and I was on a mission to find headphone.. Sorry all

P. Not as good as Rush of Blood to the Head, But...This will be my Favorite Album this year.. I give it an A..

D. I am going to give this an A-... It is a moving album, with a lot of great things to say on it.. I find the 2 songs that are really 4 songs to feel a tad bothersome, and I find that the 10th song.. I wish that all the aliasing wasn't there.. And I wish the Acoustic Tracks were on it..
