, May 19, 2004Reviewer: alevel5a - See all alevel5a's reviews2 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this So-Called Chaos review helpfulPros: Alanis morissette is one of the songwriters that i like most. Every song in the record, every word in the record, can reflect what i am in the current situation. (Maybe my situation is similar to Alanis.....) I like "Jagged Littel Pill", "SFIJ" and "under rug swept"..they are all my favourite. This album, is the album that i think alanis morissette has progress in music, lyric and mind. She becomes more mature , has mature thinking towards the same thing, and the music elements, she has tried some new one...for example" Knees of my bees"...very eastern feel.........Amazing. Also, "this Grudge" is the song that truely reflects her maturity......and the title track , "So called chaos".......reall
y tells us that she is back.........so..this album is the album that you must not miss Cons: I think 10 songs is not enough.....she can write more..........Hope she has some b-sides for this album and release in the coming accoustic album at the end of the year..
One sentence can conclude this album.......
"Alanis morissette is back, she rocks, rocks your heart and she is the rock queen in the world."
Everyone must have this album at home.......makes your heart feels good.......

Pro Reviews: So-Called Chaos
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Alanis Morissette has often written about affairs of the heart, but she's rarely written from the perspective of being in love, and she's certainly never recorded an album where she seems so in love and at peace as she has with her fourth album, SoCalled Chaos. She doesn't hide her romance with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, perhaps best known as the title role of National Lampoon's Van Wilder, thanking him in the liner notes and alluding to their relationship throughout this romanceheavy record. There are still strands of bitterness, cynicism, and jealously, yet they feel like unfinished business that she's slowly putting to rest. Nowhere is this more true than on "This Grudge," which for all intents and purposes looks like the final chapter in the tale of "The Relationship," the one that fueled "You Oughta Know," since she acknowledges that she's held "this grudge" for "14 years, 30 minutes, 15 seconds" and through "11 songs" and "four full journals" (and, given Alanis' penchant for confession and singleminded obsession, chances are she's not exaggerating). She's not just leaving this relationship behind, she's maturing, and there's a calm directness to much of her writing that leads her to both openhearted love songs and, occasionally, a sly sense of humor (as on the sardonic opener, "Eight Easy Steps"). Morissette still has a tendency to overwrite and then deliver these tangled tenses in exceedingly odd phrasing the chorus to "Knees of My Bees" doesn't sound much like "tremble and buckle," it sounds for all the world like "jambalaya, Bucko" but that's simply par for the course with Alanis. What's unexpected, though, is the confidence of her music, which recaptures some of the vigor of Jagged Little Pill, as it's brighter, denser, catchier than either of its immediate predecessors, and boasts her most assured singing yet. Even with all this, it's not heavy on immediate singles the first, "Everything," takes awhile to have its hook settle in but as an overall record, it's her most satisfying since her blockbuster breakthrough. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: she's at her best...the lyrics are so amazing
Cons: radio isn't picking her up and playing shi*t like avril instead
So I've only been able to hear 30 second previews for all of the songs, but from what I can tell SCC represents Alanis returning to form. I must confess that I'm one of her crazier fans...so I enjoyed SFIJ and URS despite their lack of popular success. However, if you're a fan of Jagged Little Pill, then you should enjoy this CD.
The production is edgier. The lyrics are less emotive. The CD is just amazing.
Go out and buy it on May 18th!
