What's The Story?
Jagged Little Pill. 33 million copies sold worldwide. Heard it?
Who's To Blame?
A marketplace named for annoying, itchy bugs.
Why ♥ It?
Forget who this is by and what album it's on. It fits in about as neatly and unnoticed as There's A World does on Harvest.
The intro leaves it open to go to a lot of places; it could be any other Alanis song, or it could quickly change into something that sounds like Jane's Addiction (I'm sure Navarro had his hand in that somewhere). At 0:42, the song kicks in, and I keep thinking Genesis and Dream Theater and... progressive rock? Alanis Morissette? I rarely think of those two things in the same month, let alone the same thought.
But I've made peace with it. Alanis sings the track in the same manner and with the same efficacy as anything else on the landmark album, but the guitar shines like something indeterminate from some other genre. If you don't know the track well enough to hear it in your head, give it a listen, because it's worth a reconsideration.
