It was called "So-Called Chaos," and in my opinion is one of the best albums of the year to date! Being the massive fan of Alanis that I am (yeah, my desertcart nick name was influenced by her as I consider myself to be a somewhat jagged teenager - not the norm!), I anticipated the release of her new album months before and practically counted down the days. I wasn't expecting anything to top "Jagged Little Pill" and "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" in terms of genius and breaking ground, but still my expectations were high. I wasn't overtly impressed when I first heard "Everything," but it did grow on me. There was one song, however, that I did like, which was called "Out Is Through." I was happy and surprised when I heard this would be the second single from the album. The second single in Europe, that is. The second song that the States received was "Eight Easy Steps," the album's opening track, which is one of the best Alanis songs ever! Eight Easy Steps opens strangely with a little whispered line from Alanis and soft percussion beats layered over an almost psychedelic hum that evokes Eastern chanting images. After eight seconds Alanis starts singing the first verse, "How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment. How to defer to men in solveable predicaments. How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you. How to have that not work and have them run away from you. How to keep people at arms length and never get too close. How to mistrust the ones who supposedly love the most. How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone. How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone." Alanis sings these lyrics at a sonic speed in what seems like a stream-of-consciousness style. This works extremely well with her voice and what is her trademark left-of-the-middle lyrical style. Alanis then sings the chorus, "I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps. A course of a lifetime you'll never forget. I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps. I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best." The chorus that has just been is an all out rocker with heavy guitars and chunky beats, and then it dies down for the second verse, where Alanis sings, "How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist. How to play all pious when you're really a hypocrite. How to hate God when you're a player and a spiritualist. How to sabotage your fantasies by fears of success." Alanis then repeats the chorus, before moving into the best bit of the song, "I've been doing research for years! I've been practicing my ass off! I've been training my whole life for this moment I swear to you! Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you!" The desperation for recognition in her voice is hilarious and adds humour to the song, before Alanis sings, "How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else. How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself. How to numb a la holic to avoid going within. How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything." Alanis then repeats the chorus a few more times as this fast-paced Alanis-classic draws to a satisfying conclusion. The video to Eight Easy Steps is quite remarkable, almost scary! I had heard a lot of positive comments over it, and was desperate to see it. I've only seen it once, but that's enough! It is so remarkable that it will stick in your mind for ages! The theme basically is a montage of all Alanis' past videos from her nine years (1995-2004), but what is interesting is that the mouths of Alanis in her old videos ("Ironic," "You Learn," "You Oughta Know") have been removed and a new voice is singing Eight Easy Steps! On paper the concept sounds corny but technology has made this a seamless production and early child footage of Alanis singing the song is just plain creepy! All in all, a fantastic song with a great video. ## Images ![Eight Easy Steps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vRNcn7JVS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***Z on November 3, 2014* A GREAT SINGLE ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fast-Paced, Stream Of Consciousness Alanis Rock Classic! *by A***X on November 4, 2004* Alanis Morissette made her welcome return to the music scene in May 2004 with her fourth proper studio album, and first in more than two years.
