Comments

Alanis presents this somewhat random collection which could well be described as her greatest hits. Spread amongst her hit singles are covers and songs from movie soundtracks, hitherto unreleased outside the respective soundtrack albums.

Although there are a few oddities with respect to layout (Going from "8 Easy Steps" to "Everything" makes me feel like I've just skipped an entire album...) I enjoyed this collection a lot. Many of the tracks I hadn't heard before. I love her version of Seal's "Crazy" and "Mercy" is just wonderfully beautiful. Although hearing Alanis sing "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)" somehow feels very very weird - moreso than her cover of "My Humps".

Overall, smashingly good, and a must buy, even if you have her regular albums.
