S3E5. Inconsistent Affectation Junkie

Listen Later

Under Rug Swept by Alanis Morrisette.

Alanis' fifth album is a huge step up from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. There are some very good, very moving songs on this one—and thank god she decided to make it shorter than 27 songs. 

There are still things to quibble over here, and still some missteps, but this album definitely has some of the best songs Alanis has written to date.
