The ninth (and seventh international) studio album by the Canadian-American singer-songwriter. It is Morissette's first studio album in eight years, following 2012's 'Havoc and Bright Lights'. Features the singles 'Reasons I Drink', 'Smiling', and 'Diagnosis'. Review: Fantastic album! Possibly my favourite Alanis album!🤗 - Wow! I have always admired alanis morissette,and am grateful to her for creating such brilliant music for people to enjoy. Music brings joy and happiness! I must say I particularly like jagged little pill...😊but there were some amazing songs on supposed former infactuation junkie ie front row and thankyou...I didn't think the following albums were bad at all,just not played as often SORRY ALANIS ,although guardian from havoc and bright lights I think is wonderful. Then I buy and play such pretty forks in the road! I can honestly say I was not expecting it to be an album of such sheer brilliance! I hoped it would be great but as soon as it began to play, I realised this had a different sound and was not quite the same as anything heard before, in previous albums. It was worth the 8 year wait! - but I hope if another album is made it may not be in another 8 years! Alanis's voice is strong and so are the songs. My particular favourites are smiling,ablaze, reasons I drink(and the videos are great!🤗), losing the plot and nemesis... oh my goodness, the work of a genius! Thankyou Alanis... good luck with the tour , and all the very best. I hope to see you live one day,and overcome my agoraphobia. 'Thankyou' Review: Alanis’ best album in 25 years - I'm going to come out and say it: best Alanis Morissette album since Jagged Little Pill. This is, from beginning to end, a brilliantly written, recorded and delivered record and, undoubtedly, one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises of this year. The opening track, Smiling, sets the scene for the whole album; a classily orchestrated song with plenty of the wow factor. If you listen to the first song and aren't immediately hooked, I'd be surprised. This is the top quality record that we've all been waiting for, that we've seen glimpses of, that we knew she was capable of. It's a brilliant record, very different to Jagged Little Pill, of course, but she's twenty-five years older now. It's lush, understanding and emotive rather than angsty and indignant at life's injustices, but it's unmistakably Alanis... and it's wonderful.

A superb, thought-provoking album for these Covid times and beyond.
I already knew this album well enough to know it was likely to be a five star experience, and it is! Above all else, the songs are lyrically and musically stunning. More than that, the album feels very personal and, as a result, pleasingly complex. I bought the CD rather than the MP3 version so I would get the album booklet with song lyrics. The songs are really in my mind right now which I take to be a sign of how I'll be playing this for years to come. Finally, search out for the online video of Alanis performing 'Ablaze' with her small daughter on her knee. It's so beautiful and uplifting!

Miss Big mouth strikes back
Alanis = Jagged Little Pill. That is and will always be her finest moment, the record that literally everyone who knows her instantly associates her with. 25 years on, and 8 since her last set, the promo singles suggested that this could be a glorious comeback. Guess what... it is. As someone who lost interest after the unexciting "So called chaos", but kept supporting her throughout the decades, "Pretty forks..." is a return to form. "Flavours of entanglement" was the last great set I remember, and the last before that was waaaay back in 2001 ("Under rug swept"). This new one is better than both. There has been an immense shadow for 25 years hanging over her with the legacy she has been forced to uphold. My personal favourite Alanis record is "Supposed former infatuation junkie". Listen to "Reckoning", "Nemesis", and the triumphant "Reasons I drink" single, and if they don't take you back to the 1995 and 1998 greatness, I will shut up. This 11-track set is among her very best, simply put. "Pill" became a seminal album, arguably the most celebrated angst-ridden album of recent times. A landmark for the '90s generation, who crowned Alanis Morissette as the voice of an era that explored and expressed the emotional wreckage of youth and femininity in such an arresting manner, that her personal experiences became universal. In her 40s and a mum, everyone's favourite rock chick is back and sounds just as fantastic as she did when she was 20. And no, it's not ironic! PS: Collectors look out for the purple vinyl available through her website, it's a beauty.

Fantastic songs
Alanis has great depth with her songs and this album is a joy. Her talent shines through in this collection.

Still Alanis!
I rarely listen to a whole album more than once before picking some favourites for my mp3 player. This is different. Alanis still being Alanis one generation later, I love it. Plenty of life experience behind each song. Well done!

Dopo otto anni di silenzio, Alanis Morissette ritorna con questo prodottino che mi ha lasciato positivamente sorpreso: Such Pretty Forks In The Road, a differenza dell'ultimo album, ha un concept ben sviluppato: i brani - per musicalità e testi - sono coerentemente presentati in una tracklist che impatta emotivamente l'ascoltatore, ma che potrebbe risultare anche un po' pesantina al primo ascolto. Depressione post-partum, dipendenza da alcol e crisi psicologica sono alcuni dei temi tratti in questi brani, affiancati da qualche smielata dedica alla propria famiglia. Degna di nota è "Nemesis" con un finale che sembra tratto da un film di Tarantino. Altri gioiellini "Losing the plot", "Reasons I Drink" e "Ablaze". Un album da ascoltare a 360°, nel quale immergersi per sperimentare o riconoscersi nei testi di una Alanis che ha dato un taglio - pensando anche ai suoi capelli - più diverso alla propria musica, lasciandosi alle spalle quella spiritualità relazionale che ha caratterizzato i suoi predenti album, passando a temi più impegnativi e concreti.

ALANIS MORISSETTE - "Such Pretty Forks in the Road" (2020) Ich gebe es ehrlich zu, ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich mir dieses Album überhaupt anhören soll, es mir zu kaufen stand schon mal gar nicht zur Debatte. Warum? Na weil die letzten beiden Alben der Kanadierin für mich sehr enttäuschend waren, es war schon schockierend zu hören, wie sie es sich im Pop-Mittelmaß gemütlich gemacht hatte. Dass 8 (!) Jahre später alles wieder wie "früher" sein sollte, konnte ich mir nicht vorstellen, umso größer war dann meine Überraschung, als ich dann doch mal in das Album reingehört habe. Die Songs sind wieder extrem auf die einzigartige Stimme von ALANIS MORISSETTE zugeschnitten, unnötiger technischer Schnickschnack wurde rigoros über Bord geworfen. Die Songs sind wieder sehr viel "purer", man merkt endlich wieder, dass ALANIS MORISSETTE eine Songwriterin ist, eine mit einer begnadeten Stimme. Die Songs sind wieder schön eingängig, die Melodien gehen direkt ins Ohr und die Stimme der Kanadierin sorgt für jede Menge Gänsehautmomente. Da sind wieder die großen Emotionen und Gefühle zu hören, das geht ganz tief unter die Haut ..... die "alte" ALANIS ist endlich wieder da! Das letzte Album von ihr, das mich so gepackt hat, war "So-called Chaos" aus dem Jahr 2004, dazwischen war nie mehr als mittelmäßiger Pop von ihr zu hören. Ich weiß nicht genau woran es lag, ob sie sich selbst auf ihre alten Erfolge besonnen hat, oder ob es an den neuen Produzenten ALEX HOPE und CATHERINE MARKS lag. Was immer die "Initialzündung" war, es war in jedem Fall richtig und verdammt gut. Selten hatte ich so wenig Lust auf ein Album, selten wurde ich dann so brutal eines Besseren belehrt, "Such Pretty Forks in the Road" hat mir auf Anhieb den Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen. Die Songs sind überwiegend ruhig, man hat eine Atmosphäre aufgebaut, bei der man sich sofort wohl fühlt. ALANIS MORISSETTE nutzt wieder die gesamte Bandbreite ihrer Stimme, sie wechselt in einem Song die Stimmlagen von traurig bis himmelhoch jauchzend, da kriegst du als Zuhörer weiche Knie. Das Tolle an diesem Album ist, dass es durch die Bank mit erstklassigen Songs bestückt ist, es gibt keinen Megahit, das Niveau ist gleichmäßig und unheimlich mitreißend. Eigentlich würde ich empfehlen das Album am Stück durchlaufen zu lassen, am besten in der Dauerschleife, weil es, wie bereits erwähnt, keinen "Überhit" gibt. Das Album wird von den ruhigen und nachdenklichen Songs geprägt, da kann ALANIS MORISSETTE ihre ganzen Emotionen reinpacken, die Nummern singt sie so perfekt .... zum Niederknien. Wer trotzdem erst einmal reinhören möchte, dem würde ich "Smiling", die Piano-Ballade "Diagnosis", das rockende "Reason I Drink" und "Nemesis" empfehlen. Die abschließende Ballade "Pedestal" knipst einem dann die Lichter aus, was für eine emotionale Nummer, perfekt gesungen. Diese Songs sind vielleicht noch einen kleinen Tick stärker als die anderen .... vielleicht?! Wer die ALANIS MORISSETTE von "Flavours of Entanglement" oder "Havoc and Bright Lights" bevorzugt, der könnte hier eventuell an seine grenzen stoßen, denn damit hat dieses Album GOTTSEIDANK nicht mehr viel zu tun. Das ist eher etwas für die älteren Fans, für diejenigen, die ALANIS MORISSETTE mit "Jagged Little Pill" kennen und lieben gelernt haben. Mein Fazit: ALANIS MORISSETTE hat sich auf ihre Trademarks und ihre großen Stärken besonnen, die sicher nicht im modernen Pop liegen. Sie ist eine Songwriterin, sie kommt aus der rockigen Ecke, sie ist emotional und gefühlvoll, ihre Musik hat Tiefgang .... sie ist eine Göttin! :-) Zu euphorisch? Ja .... aber ich freue mich einfach, dass eine meiner Lieblingssängerinnen wie ein Phönix aus der Asche auferstanden ist. :-) Es gibt Alben, die hört man einmal und man weiß sofort, dass man sie lieben wird, "Such Pretty Forks in the Road" gehört für mich zu dieser Sorte ... ich bin begeistert!

magnifique retour que cet album ! magnifique de bout en bout ! belle ambiance ! pour moi c'est son meilleur album ( avec le unplugged) un album certe assez "calme" , plein de balades et morceaux presque planants, mais aussi quelques titres plus pop bien envoyés ou chaque titre pourrait etre un tube (pas d'electro et c'est tant mieux)...sa voix est tjs magnifique (comme le bon vin, ca évolue...on ne chante pas a 46 ans comme a 20 ans) je préfère quand elle chante de cette façon, sans hurler comme c'est parfois le cas....vraiment un disque homogène qui s'écoute avec grand plaisir de bout en bout, rien a jeter ! parfait pour un retour attendu au tournant, bravo ! a faire tourner en boucle ! trop court !
