Advantages: Alanis back doing what she does best, writing infectious but powerful songs, Demonstrates a more mature approach both musically and lyrically, 'At That Particular Time', 'Precious Illusions'
Disadvantages: 'You Owe me Nothing' edges a bit too close to filler for comfort, It's still recognisably Alanis, so if you hated 'Jagged Little Pill' you'd best steer clear

...', 'That Particular Time' describes the collapse of a relationship without recriminations or blame. The Alanis of 2002 acknowledges her own failings as well as that of her feckless men, 'Narcissus' is as much about her own foolishness, "Why do I try to love / Try to love you when you really don?t want me to?" as it is about the idiot of the title.

They proved that they could make new, fresh dance music with big, powerful beats but team it with vocals from the likes of Beth Orten. After this release the Chemical Brothers continued to bang out more hits and fantastic albums. Guest vocals from the Noel Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft on their tracks done nothing but enhance their status even more. They had massive chart and club hits with singles such as "Setting Sun", "Block Rockin' Beats" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl" to name only a few. So ten years... Read review
