Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Alanis Morissette Reviews

Brill album well worth a listen! - Advantages: powerful, a great way to vent your anger! - Disadvantages: Not a very good love album

As always... sorry if something isn't clear on this op... it's caused by my poor english level. I'd received that Music cassette from Dooyoo-spain because I was awared in a prize. I'd received the MC today and I'd listened twice to write an op about it. I'm not an Alanis "fan". I know some of ...  Read the complete review

This is the second album from the highly acclaimed Alanis Morissette. Obviously after the first album she has a lot to live up to on this album, and she falls far short.... Whilst the first album had a great sense of rhythm, and emotion throughout, and the listener was bombarded with song after song. This is a collection of general rock ...  Read the complete review

With this album, Alanis avoided the obvious pitfall of trying to write 'Jagged Little Pill 2', and has avoided the temptation to rush out a second album in an attempt to let it ride the crest of the wave created by the former. Weighing in with 17 songs, spanning over 70 minutes, doesn't make for easy listening. As expected the lyrics ...  Read the complete review

I am not a huge Alanis fan, and only bought this album because it was reduced to £3.99 or something. I think I was aware it had got some bad reviews, but quite liked the single "Thank you". My overall impressions of the album are: 1. It is too long. At over 70 minutes, it ought to be good value, but not necessarily, ...  Read the complete review

After enjoying Alanis's singles such as 'Ironic', 'Hand in my Pocket' and 'Thank You', I brought this album. The title-'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' should have warned me off I think! I listened and re-listened to this album many times, feeling sure I would eventually like a few of the tracks, ...  Read the complete review

After really getting into Jagged Little Pill I was excitedly awaiting the release of this new album, despite hating the single Thankyou. What a disappointment, a CD full of self absorbed psychobabble. The tracks have none of the quality of those on JLP such as ironic and You Oughta Know. The single is actually the best thing on ...  Read the complete review

Too long for a bloody album name firstly. And besides that this isn't a patch on Jagged Little Pill. Nope. It just doesn't have that magic that Jagged Little Pill did. It's not bad of course, but the songs aren't as good. Apart from Thankyou of course. That's the song that saves this album. One of Alanis's best songs no ...  Read the complete review

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is quite a departure from the mostly miserable feeling of the songs of Jagged Little Pill. It seems to show that she is perhaps moving on from the state of mind she was in whilst writing Jagged Little Pill. This seemingly enlightened aspect of Alanis Morissette is quite refreshing. It has the same happy, sad and ...  Read the complete review

This must go down as one of the bigger disappointments. After the success of Jagged Little Pill, with a lot of good tunes, if a little angst-ridden, this album is, at best, bland and boring. As happens so often, the best track, Thank U, was released as the first single from the album and that in itself should have been a warning, given ...  Read the complete review
