Amazon.co.uk : 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
Outstanding I've been waiting for Alanis to come out with a new CD for a while. She maintained her artistic vibe and deep lyrics. There is a mix of intense and softer songs. Loved it.

Once again....she just knows how to write and make music! Go Alanis....go... keep going all the way.
Back and Better than ever Just wanted to say I think this is her best work in some time. It is edgy in a great, energetic, way, still with great vocals and lyrics. Has been in constant play since purchase. Very happy to have taken the plunge again with Alanis!
Loved It This album was a different sound style for Alanis but it still had her trademark lyrics. Love Her Music!!!!!
Alanis got this one backwards. I have really enjoyed this new album from Alanis. The funny thing is 80 percent of the time I am listening to the bonus disc. It has the best songs on it, which the people who bought the regular album are missing out on. How did this happpen?
