No. And the consensus agrees with me.

SFIJ is rambling diary-poetry with words used out of context and off-melody. It's still a fascinating record and it has its moments, but not her best by any means.

Gurl, will you take a chill pill? It's your opinion, and everyone else who likes it. I like SFIJ more than Jagged Little Pill though, and you won't change my opinion.

OMG.........it hurts my eyes to read this. Go and find out what context and melody are...............please.

I will not tolerate the bashing of SFIJ. All of Alanis' songs are lyrical masterpieces.

I should've made this thread

I'm not telling you what to like more, I'm making an objective observation. You were the one in the first place who scoffed at someone else's opinion.

I'm aware of what those words are, otherwise I wouldn't have used them. I only wish I could have said the same for Alanis when she wrote SFIJ.

I'll ask you to refer to "The Couch," "One," or "Unsent" and tell me where the melodies are. I'll ask you to look up the word "renunciate" or the phrase "sexy treadmill capitalist" and tell me if they belong in a song (if they even exist at all). I'd especially like you to defend the technique of laundry-list choruses (see "Thank U," "Would Not Come," "Sympathetic Character," "Joining You") as a genuine example of skilled songwriting.

You should seriously search for one those groups like: "Understanding and/or discussing Alanis Morissette"

Have you ever heard of "speaking melody"?

I'm not gonna take this too far because if you're a true Alanis fan, you should know that SFIJ is the most real and raw, and of course, critically aclaimed Alanis album. So who are we to talk about her melodies and lyrics?

Ow.....and I can't wait for Guardian and HABL

I love SFIJ, don't get me wrong. but it's a deeply flawed record. What kind of stan would I be if I didn't recognize that?

Anyways, I'm excited for the next album too.

Why am I always late to the Holy High Priestess' threads?

And, no, JLP is NOT her best. SFIJ, FOE, and even (though this one is a bit of a stretch) URS are better. But all her songs are masterpieces, and anyone who thinks otherwise should be stoned, tbh.

I agree. You pretty much have to be stoned to think they're all masterpieces.

[jgaga]

SFIJ, the empress of all the other Alanis albums.
Flavors is the princess!
This song sounds so good tho!
Here's hoping for another Citizen Of The Planet!

[Michael]

It sounds great!

[Riverwide]

It sounds really bland and dated. I miss angry-Alanis.

Celebrity is gonna **** on everyone!!!!!!

It's her best album so why wouldn't it be their favourite? Jagged Little Pill is nothing short of a masterpiece!

queen of pop/rock

[Razzle]

Sounds good

[as926]

I prefer Under Rug Swept to Jagged Little Pill. Flavors Of Entaglement is good as well, but it's quite different for her and it's hard to compare to the others. I actually do enjoy So-Called Chaos quite a bit, the tracks that are solid on it are WAY good. The only album that I am not super crazy about is Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie as whole. Lyrically it's lovely, but I just can't get into some of the tracks as much.

[ALΞX]

Jagged Little Pill and Flavors Of Entanglement are her best albums, and you will deal.

[Graduation]

First off, anyone that doesn't think Jagged Little Pill is her best work is delusional. Flavors of Entanglement is great as well (her second best), and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie doesn't get nearly enough credit.

But to be on topic, this song has a lot of potential. This is like a mix of JLP and FOE, at least from a :30 snippet
