Studio album debut by Alanis Morissette - her first and only album to be released as Alanis (only).
Now, the only reason I ever came across this was because of her international giant breakthrough and also her third full-length album, Jagged Little Pill from 1995.
Alanis is something else - in fact, it's something completely different than what I believe most people associate with her name. The debut is primarily dance-pop, and that fact alone should make people realise that Morissette started out on with a different mission and in another ballgame. Some critics pointed out that this sounded a bit like Paula Abdul, and I do concede to that perspective.
Musically and artistically, this isn't all bad, it's just dance-pop of the early '90s sounding much like something else from the mid-80s, and frankly, I don't like it.
