I first became addicted to Alanis with "Jagged Little Pill", while I still like those lyrics and the songs on the album, I'm glad to see she has evolved. Her new album, Flavors of Entanglement, expresses more inner and world conflict.

Her lyrics are witty and profound. She's not such a hater, but perhaps a "thinker" an "analyzer" of the world around her.

The song "moratorium" speaks volumes about her "growing up" she's accepting that it's okay, to let go, "hit rock bottom" and essentially "die" so she can move forward.

We see compassion in her lyrics of "missing you...raising our children"

So perhaps, this time, after the nasty break up, Alanis has taken time to ponder her love, rather than her hate.

It's an album that will put her back on the top of the charts and one I won't be taking out of my cd player for awhile.
