It's that time of year when I make a list of the albums I bought (or, downloaded) and rate them in my own humble opinion. So here's the list and a little description (along with fave tracks off each). It was all done in alphabetical order, but they're rated. My rates go from ( ) to *****, ***** being the best and ( ) being the worst.

Tori tried to give us another Under the Pink, but it met with a little To Venus and Back and to be honest, I didn't…

Mon 16 Feb – Alanis Morissette

My god Alanis Morissette knows how to rock. I just saw her live for the first time (hoping it's not the last one), and trust me, very few times I've felt such an adrenaline rush. And by the way, SHE IS GORGEOUS. I mean, I thought she didn't fix herself up muchly on the pictures, but I guess it's just the fact that she isn't photgenic.

The setlist:

The Couch I
Uninvited
Versions of Violence
All I Really Want
The Couch II
Not The Doctor
Not As We
Head Over Feet
The Couch III…

FLAVORS OF ENTANGLEMENT *****
ALANIS MORISSETTE

When Alanis came back with her 5th studio album early this year, more than one was surprised. Although the lead single Underneath doesn’t spin off too far from what she has previously…

I wanna go to bed with arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping
Until you go home
Oh I can't look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign
That says leave right now or quicker
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love, you're too close to me
That's why you have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder
Your arm warm around my…

3/5 American Doll Posse by Tori Amos

I just got into Ms. Amos this year. I found her musical skills to exceed my expectations and her songwriting is witty and dark. I love her previous albums, but this one wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. She went on creating her alter egos and wrote songs that fit those alter's profiles. Nice experiment, although I don't find it as smart and brilliant as others do. Anyways, it's not a bad album at all. Best tracks: Big wheel, Teenage Hustling, Bouncing off Clouds, Mr. Bad Man, Devils and…

Sun 2 Sep – Dolores O'Riordan

Dolores O'Riordan rocks the National Auditorium
The Irishwoman proves that she doesn’t need her former band to make the fans go wild

Mexico City, Mexico; September 3rd, 2007

Few minutes ‘til 7 o’clock, and the national auditorium looked half full. Many were still outside chatting with friends about how unbelievable it was for the event to happen. It was unlikely from the beginning. Her solo debut, “Are You Listening?” (Sequel/Sanctuary/NoiseLab), had not gotten into the Mexican top charts. The single “Ordinary Day” had been played very scarcely on Mexican radio. The show had been…

Bury The Hatchet was the first CD I ever bought. I completely loved it from day 1. I bought it on December 17th, 1999 which means I've had around 6 years of the best of the best. Great opener, amazing singles, and Dolores O'Riordan's voice at it's best. It's the point where the cranberries swithed from great music to music for gods. Seriously, it is so mature, yet so emotional. So loud yet so soft. It's the best they've ever done, and it's just mind blowing.
