So‐Called Chaos by Alanis Morissette
So‐Called Chaos is an album by Alanis Morissette, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Everything”, on 2 lists with a best position of #51.
So-Called Chaos, Alanis Morissette's sixth studio album (the fourth to get a release around the world), arrived on Maverick on May 18, 2004, with John Shanks credited as producer. It came two years after Under Rug Swept, the record she had produced entirely on her own, and it sounds lighter on its feet: sunnier pop rock, fewer sharp edges, the confessional voice intact but less inclined to draw blood.
Critics couldn't agree on it. Some heard her most approachable set since Jagged Little Pill; others found its messages muddled and wondered where the woman who defined '90s angst had gone. It opened at number five on the Billboard 200 on 115,000 copies, the first of her international studio albums to miss the top spot, and later singles "Out Is Through" and "Eight Easy Steps" couldn't turn the tide. "Everything", the lead single, is the one the countdowns remember.
