Though the mainstream might have all but abandoned Alanis Morrissette since her mid-90s breakthrough as the MTV grunge generation's Madonna, she has forged on with a handful of albums of a reasonably steely consistency, although even kindly ears would recognize her output since Jagged Little Pill as reduced strength versions of that celebrated album. Its slightly convoluted follow up, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, remains her most intriguing if long-winded work, and with her most recent record (2004's So Called Chaos) more or less finding peace with itself--filing down the angsty internal dialogues and sounding almost content even at its loudest points--the future seemed to be heading on a downward spiral. But talk about an about turn. With Flavours Of Entanglement the bronco is very much bucking once more, often causing whiplash-inducing stylistic swerves. "Citizen Of The Planet" opens the album, erupting out of eastern strings and a sequenced underlay with blunt, compressed guitars and thumping beats, sweeping through desolate plains previously inhabited by nu metal fantasists Evanescence. The dark tension is upheld through the robotic techno of "Straightjacket" and dark string-laden drum `n' bass of "Moratorium." Landing amid the lonely Tori Amos balladry of "Not As We," Texas-pop of "In Praise Of The Vulnerable Man," and the more typical Alanis fare of "Underneath," this is an often unsettlingly mixed bag achieving varying levels of success, but it is also probably her most emotionally satisfying work for a decade. -- James Berry

The first studio album from Alanis Morissette since 2004, Flavors Of Entanglement fuses the organic and the techno—prompted by producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Bjoerk). Incorporating beats, loops and synthesizers, the album was designed, says Morissette, so listeners can "dance your face off." Balancing introspective confession and delirious joy, the global and the personal, Flavors Of Entanglement is a tasty new musical feast from one of pop's most intriguing artists.

Alanis is the bomb, but this album bombs. Her voice is completely buried by an atrociously arranged, synthetic beat. It's sounds like Alanis was asked to create the soundtrack to a Mario Bros game--Super Morisette Brothers. As for the title, Flavors of Entanglement? The only flavor here is cotton candy. Kate Perry's album feels more real, and that's really saying something.

Well, this album definitely did not meet my expectations. "Jagged Little Pill" in my opinion is still undoubtedly her best album ever. Some songs on this album fit in the electronica genre. I think she should stick to the rock genre. I guess this album would appeal to a new group of fans and lose some of her old ones. The good songs on this that are worth a few more listens are:
4. Versions Of Violence
5. Not As We
7. Moratorium
8. Tapes
Love the album cover though....
Alanis' New Album October 24, 2008

As an accomplished orchestral performer with graduate degrees in music performance, I have always been impressed with Alanis' unique approach to popular music.
It's my personal belief that she is one of the few entertainers in popular music who actually sounds like a musician:) She obviously realizes that with the simpler fundamentals of popular music, she has less expressive musical devices to work with. It is most impressive that she is able to take this limited palette of devices and accomplish so much, in terms of musical expression.
She has an excellent command (and understanding) of the chord progressions, and uses them to her full advantage. It's really nice to hear someone in popular music understand what's she's doing musically, at all times. In my opinion, this is the greatest popular music achievement in a long time. It would be a shame if she didn't win a grammy....I wish that popular music wasn't judged almost solely on the basis of whether it's fun on not.

I think most of the people concerned about Alanis Morissette's music is the deviation from album to album. You definitely won't get the harmonica solos from her CDs after year 2000. On this album Flavors Of Entanglement, Alanis and her manager experimented a variety of sounds. From the gothic rock riffs to piano Ballard, from RnBish to radiohead's experimental.
I appreciate this album a lot. The opening track 'citizen of the planet' is my favorite track. I got the same feeling when I first listened to 'Baba' from her 2nd album. Very loud guitar riffs. But this time it's even louder and meaner. I was jumping on my chair, way too excited :D
Second promotion track is 'In praise of the vulnarable man'. A well laid out song with a message. Lovable chorus, the bridge is a killer. You cannot miss this.
This album has more elements from 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' than any others. I think the majority of the songs are up to her standard. It's not something she wrote randomly. I was little disappointed on her last two albums 'Under Rug Swept' and 'So-called Chaos'. Both CDs got some really boring songs. Now I'm back listening to her music again. It sounds nice and fresh.
Her new band members are not bad. A funkier drummer is replaced. See them play live. You'll be surprised by how the songs sound on s stage.
