Alanis Morrissette : "So Called Chaos" (HQ MP3, FULL CD)



ALANIS MOST RECENT STUDIO ALBUM - THIS ONES A WINNER!

It had been two years since Morissette released her 3rd studio album Under Rug Swept. In that time, she had met her fiancee Ryan Reynolds, so this cheery disposition made its presence felt in many of the songs she wrote for her upcoming record "So-Called Chaos."

The album found her in a more contented and relaxed state than ever, and her songs were brighter and happier than her more volatile works like You Oughta Know and Uninvited. The first single Everything was released to radio in the spring of 2004, and was met with mixed reaction. The Adult Top 40 gave the song good airplay, but mainstream radio and the top 40 stations were colder in their reception. As a result, the single became her lowest peaking song on the Billboard Hot 100 ever.

The album came out in May of 2004. Reviews were mostly positive, with many critics calling the album her most accessible and mainstream record since her landmark debut Jagged Little Pill. Still, some thought she had "sold out" for the sake of sales and radio play. The album debuted at #5 on the charts, selling 115,000 copies out of the gate. But it only spent a week in the top ten before falling down the charts at a very quick pace. Ultimately, the album sold 450,000 copies, making it her poorest showing to date for a studio album. The second single on the international scene was Out Is Through, which had a poor showing in the UK. The second American single was Eight Easy Steps, which, despite a creative music video, failed to revive interest in the album, which had already fallen off the Billboard 200.
