KatiePMay 19, 2004It's a great CD for every Alanis fan. And even for those who aren't. She's fantastic, I love her.

-
MarkMay 27, 2004It deserves to be a word-of-mouth smash like her first disc- Jagged Little Pill. Rock, pop, folk- it's just catchy. She continues to grow as an artist and I appreciate that.

BecksDMay 21, 2004What the hell were the critics listening to? Let's hope metacritic can find more than five reviews on this. The 57 rating doesn't make sense. It's a lyrically and musically genious record.

DarrochCMay 20, 2004A fantastic blend of classic and free spirited Alanis.

RonBMay 20, 2004Catchy rock beats with mid tempo single worthy material. Better then Under Rug Swept but falls short of Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.

LaurenceHMay 20, 2004If 'Knees of my bees' don't become a single, I'm eating my shoes with ketchup. It's worth a lot, even though there is less vocal surprises in here. Some tracks fall flat like 'Spineless', but the spiritual ambiance like in 'Everything' is totally excellent.

VeronicaOMay 23, 2004I love this record. She has many music influences in the record and to finally see her happy and in love is refreshing.

MarkFJun 18, 2004This is her best album -- even better than her classic debut, IMO. It is totally addicting. It took me a while to get into it -- I kept listening to a few tracks and then going to something else. But once I let myself listen a few times, I started becoming addicted. Excellent album. Please give it a chance.

KatieUMay 24, 2004Alanis fans will definitely like it. Some interesting new musical turns here. It's not immediately addictive, but it grows on you fast. I like "Eight Easy Steps" "Knees of My Bees", "So Called Chaos" and "Everything" best. See what you think...

-
JaneHMay 25, 2004I love the catchy music in So-Called Chaos. Combined with Alanis' introspective and thoughtful lyrics, it's definitely something worth chewing through.

RuanH.Aug 12, 2007One of the more enjoyable Alanis Morissette albums.
-
-
Aug 23, 2013It's a good album, but not a great album. The sound is more relaxed and radio friendly, but it misses some of the deep emotion that Alanis has. Still, there's plenty of appealing songs to choose from, such as "8 Easy Steps", "Excuses" and "Everything".
-
Nov 22, 2021It's so increadible how Alanis Morissette have managed to keeps such high standards thorughout her carreer
-
Nov 24, 2021Alanis Morissette delivers another great album with her amazing voice and smart lyrics
-
Nov 25, 2021Another great album by Alanis Morissette, even without any major single she still makes a great work here
-
Nov 25, 2021Alanis Morissette's lyrics here are as great as ever and so it is her voice

Entertainment WeeklyOnce more, her songs become little more than cloying ruminations or sarcastic harangues aimed at those who want to squash her individuality. [28 May 2004, p.121]
-
By track three, something awful is apparent.
-
It's brighter, denser, catchier than either of its immediate predecessors, and boasts her most assured singing yet.
