Alanis Morissette - havoc and bright lights sync (1 Viewer)

[straightorbroken]

Woman Down I'm sure I've heard, but let's give it a bash.

 

[straightorbroken]

Alanis at her most dance pop since she was the Blossom of pop

 

[straightorbroken]

What a racket. I couldn't be happier.

 

[straightorbroken]

The album cover is very Boomerang by The Creatures (an awesome album I hope our mystery ASFM entrant is a fan of). This song is also very Hey Creepos as it happens

 

[straightorbroken]

Love the dense guitar groove here.

 

[straightorbroken]

In praise of 'Till You, it's very In Praise of esque, but softer.

 

[straightorbroken]

Dreamy enough to have been a Sara Jorge jackpot.

 

[straightorbroken]

Those guitar shimmers. Divine.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Celebrity. I love this!

 

[straightorbroken]

She's on the couch in the dungeon ... WREAKING HAVOC, etc.

Alanis doesn't go this heavy enough. This really could be a Former Junkie track.

 

[straightorbroken]

Metal mode Morissette is on the 10.

 

[straightorbroken]

Empathy. An instant ripple of beauty.

 

[straightorbroken]

I hope she sent it to Vanessa Carlton with the caption "LOL". Jaunty.

 

[straightorbroken]

I haven't banged my feet this much since I was new at LA Suite.

 

[straightorbroken]

My humble opinion of Lens is that it's mid tier Lanis level. Maybe it's a grower. A long way off the pop rock armageddon of Celebrity and grunge grandeur Guardian, but it's fine, okay, decent, not bad.

 

[straightorbroken]

Spiral. A much chewier centre.

 

[straightorbroken]

Proper fuzzy, borderline welling up power pop.

 

[straightorbroken]

7 songs to go though. I was hoping maybe 3 or 4

 

[straightorbroken]

Numb. Well who hasn't had a go at this song title?

 

[straightorbroken]

luxuriant doom and despair. Okay I'm back on board. That violin. Wow.

 

[straightorbroken]

Guitars like barbed wire. Alanis as an onslaught of sound will always get me good.

 

[straightorbroken]

My favourite version of violence so far. And we've had at least 3 outbreaks.

 

[straightorbroken]

Very "you and your chronic", but sustained into a whole chorus.

 

[straightorbroken]

5 songs though

 

[straightorbroken]

Win and Win. Oh this is lovely. And we have our title lyric touching down.

 

[straightorbroken]

She should work with Arcade Fire. That violin thing is making me moist for a bit of Rebellion (Lies).

 

[straightorbroken]

Well sleeping in on this album was not wise, it's up there with Flavours. Junkie, this, Flava Flav and Forks are all brilliant. Still 4 left though. This song is just lovely.

 

[straightorbroken]

Recieve is rehabbing my soul.

 

[straightorbroken]

The melding of jangly atmospherics are really pretty.

 

[straightorbroken]

The gut wrenching ad libs. What a deliverance.

 

[straightorbroken]

Edge of Revolution. Caught in the same storm of sound occupied by most of the others that I'm very much enjoying here.

 

[straightorbroken]

Good drums.

 

[straightorbroken]

That reminds me, I wonder if that blond Foo Fighter aged well or not

 

[straightorbroken]

Ugh, 2 songs, let's do this.

 

[straightorbroken]

Will You Be My Girlfriend. I like how presumably deliberately awkward the title is sung. It's quite cute.

 

[straightorbroken]

The texting line <3

 

[straightorbroken]

Magical Child. Finally, I got here.

 

[straightorbroken]

This is the kind of sound I always love being immersed in.

 

[straightorbroken]

That lightning bolt banshee voice distilled into this soft, ice-cold spritz works so well.

 

[straightorbroken]

Kind of stream of consciousness. Right up my Straße basically.
