Review


I listened to Alanis' new disc

expecting joyful song and new laments

but the music is of meditative bliss

and not the angry voice of malcontent.

It doesn't help I had it on 'repeat'

and thought it most repetitive at first

especially the track with jumping feet

"The Lightworker's Lament" my brain to burst. 

The album becomes reminiscent of

the seventies explosion of New Age

where Brian Eno utilised the love

of tranquil ambience upon the stage.

   So in the month of existential dread

   I think I'll listen to The Clash, instead.
