EDITORIAL REVIEWS MORISSETTE ALANIS SUPPOSSED FORMER INFATUATION JUNKIE REVIEW Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie doesn't set out to re-create Jagged Little Pill in sound or attitude. Some of Ms. Morissette's new songs, like the single "Thank U," have clear-cut choruses; some don't. The tone is different, too. Where Jagged Little Pill often lashed out, much of Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is about reconciliation: with parents, with lovers, with the fears and weaknesses that Ms. Morissette saw in herself. -- New York Times Morissette means to mesmerize but more often merely annoys. With little use for rhyme or imagery, she makes these 17 tracks sound more like journal entries than songs. -- People The ambitious collection ... is her probing, shrewd, sensual and fearlessly autobiographical exploration of being young and female in the '90s.... Junkie boasts a maturity and sophistication rarely found in unseasoned artists. Add Morissette's vision and daring and you've got a spectacular achievement, enhanced by its arrival amid this era's glut of conventional pop-rockers. -- USA Today The songs on Infatuation Junkie tend to settle into polyrhythmic grooves and stay there, providing melody lines just serviceable enough to carry along all of Morissette's Zen chattiness. It's an audacious move.... -- Entertainment Weekly
