"Excuses" comes from So-Called Chaos, the album Alanis Morissette put out on Maverick in 2004, her sixth in all and fourth released internationally. She wrote it alone and co-produced it with John Shanks, who plays acoustic and electric guitar and, for an unexpected color, hammered dulcimer; Tim Thorney added production and bass.
The band is a deep bench: Kenny Aronoff and Blair Sinta on drums, Eric Avery and Paul Bushnell also on bass, David Levita and Jason Orme on electric guitar and Zac Rae on keyboards, with Chris Lord-Alge mixing. The album split critics, some calling it her most accessible work since Jagged Little Pill, others put off by its muddled messages.
