Summary
In this episode of Trimming the Musical Fat, TTMF hosts Stephen & Paul, plus special guest Caroline Gilmour of pop band The Eves, discuss Alanis Morissette's follow up to her blockbusting 1995 album ‘Jagged Little Pill’ - 1998’s 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie'.
They share their personal fandom of Alanis and discuss the critical reception to the album & its sales. They also analyze the themes and lyrics of the album, highlighting its evolution from 'Jagged Little Pill' and its dark and honest storytelling.
The conversation then turns to choosing the songs that make up the under 50 minute TTMF Supercut of the album, and critiquing them . The themes include the positive vibes and beautiful sentiment in the lyrics, the use of unconventional instruments and arrangements, the vulnerability and self-deprecation in some of the songs, and the exploration of personal relationships and emotions.
The show then concludes with a discussion on the reasons why the album sold significantly less than its predecessor.
