Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, or SFIJ for short, was not "in" at the time it came out.
With Junkie the expectations were high that the album would affect people in a similar manner, and for the most part, that didn't happen.
Junkie is a much more somber and cryptic approach to the art of music than Pill was.

(one who is a junkie for infatuations that she is supposed both to have had once and to have no longer)
But that bracketing does not entail that the bearer of the property was ever an infatuation junkie.
Alanis's title seems to specify a property that holds of an individual x iff x was an infatuation junkie in the past and is supposed now to have gotten over that.

 Amazon.com: Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie: Music: Alanis Morissette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is one of the most eccentric albums to have been released in the 90's.
In the case of "Supposed Former," the lyrics are painstakingly overwritten well beyond the point of gratuitousness and rather than follow a coherent format, they meander.
"Supposed Former," on the other hand, is far too self-involved and should have remained in the pages of Alanis' diary; where such clumsy, wordy, overreaching attempts at poetry belong.

Review: While it's not a repudiation of her blockbuster, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is a clear step forward, teeming with ambition and filled with new musical ideas and different sonic textures.
That said, it won't win any new fans -- for all of her success, Morissette is a weird acquired taste, due to her idiosyncratic vocals and doggedly convoluted confessionals -- but it certainly confirms that she doesn't quite sound like anyone else, either.

And while Junkie shows that Morissette is no less stingy about revealing herself to her fans--her staccato stream-of-consciousness style is again employed to surrender her secrets and foibles a little too easily in these tales of abuse, lost love, and self-flagellation--Junkie also makes one wonder what this musical sphinx holds back.
The former is a mid-tempo composition with yet more excellent lyrics and wonderful sounds - on this song, the beat sounds like two pieces of wood bashing together slowly.
Hopefully SFIJ will be re-released and re-mastered one day (for it's 10th anniversary perhaps?) as it is the essential CD if you are an Alanis fan...start with JLP if you are a newcomer then come to this.

 Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is the fourth album by singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, released by Maverick Records in the United States on November 3, 1998 (see 1998 in music).
Morissette opened most of shows during the Junkie era with the song, and it was featured as an opener during her 2002 tours.
It charted considerably high in initial airplay because of the anticipation for the album, but many critics and listeners who had pigeonholed Morissette as an angry woman were surprised by the song's calm and serene feel.

Alanis has a lot to answer for; in the process of changing the face of '90s pop music, she opened the door to scores of inferior imitators who crowded the charts with their transparent careerist fury.
From awkward title to the unconventional lyrical construction, it's clear that the years between this album and Morisette's previous breakthrough recording have not dulled her iconoclasm or put soft edges on her anger.
INFATUATION JUNKIE is at once more immediate and more artfully constructed than its predecessor.

While it's not a repudiation of her blockbuster, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is a clear step forward, teeming with ambition and filled with new musical ideas and different sonic textures.
Also, she has clearly spent some time crafting her lyrics; not only do they never sound like straight diary entries, she no longer is trying to fit too many syllables into a phrase.
That said, it won't win any new fans -- for all of her success, Morissette is a weird acquired taste, due to her idiosyncratic vocals and doggedly convoluted confessionals -- but it certainly confirms that she doesn't quite sound like anyone else, either.

 Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie | Music Review | Entertainment Weekly
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, the follow-up to '95's bitter Pill, Alanis Morissette flirts with goodness (if not greatness).
The prevailing songwriting strategy in her new collection, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, is to reiterate phrases over and over with always varying degrees of emphasis and interpretation.
My favorite example of Morissette's ongoing teen-angst urgency on Infatuation Junkie is ''Are You Still Mad.'' It's another list song, this one a catalog of all the aggressive things Alanis did to a former loved one.

The songs on Infatuation Junkie tend to settle into polyrhythmic grooves and stay there, providing melody lines just serviceable enough to carry along all of Morissette's Zen chattiness.
Though in my opinion not as good as Jagged Little Pill or Under Rug Swept, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is a spiritual journey through the thoughts and mind of Alanis.

I would like to review the album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie...This cd is probably the deepest you WILL EVER hear Alanis go....Not only did it pick up where Jagged Little Pill left off at, but it also brought us up to date where Alanis...
’Supposed..’ as opposed to the Alanis’ Debut ’Jagged Little pill’; is a more self-indulgent album, the sort success gives you the freedom to produce.
Some songs have been inspired by her trip to India, probably there appears to be the same sort of detachment...

 Rolling Stone : Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Morissette calls her follow-up Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, and in case you can't tell from the title, she's not big on false modesty.
When she sings "Thank you, India/Thank you, Providence," it's a quintessentially Alanistic moment – you can't be sure whether she's bowing down to divine providence or to the city in Rhode Island where they drink Narragansett beer, and it sounds fabulous either way.
Morissette co-produced Junkie herself with regular collaborator Glen Ballard, and she obviously has fun twiddling the knobs in the psychedelic rant "Front Row." The dense music complements the peaceful vibe of the lyrics.

 Slant Magazine - Music Review: Alanis Morissette: Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
udging by many of the tracks on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, the follow-up to Alanis Morissette's breakthrough 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, the singer was clearly trying to negotiate the pressure of having sold 16 million albums.
Though distinctly "pop" in style and execution, Junkie runs the gamut from dance-pop to rock and includes everything from dramatic string orchestrations to hip-hop loops and roaring electric guitars.
Of course, the stacked vocal overdubs that have become her trademark are all over Junkie, as is her cute verbage (she uses the word "muchly" in both song and liner notes) and disjointed phrasing: "I was afraid of your ex-plo-si-ons!" she sings on "Sympathetic Character."

 Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - (Album Commentary via proudestmonkeys.com)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, confusing title aside, is seventeen songs worth of the dazzling young artist.
Still growing and maturing, both musically and in life, Junkie contains significantly less anger and angst, and more of the joy she has experienced of late in her life.
No one knows how this will translate into future albums, but in an era where a great many bands capitalize on current trends, it is refreshing to hear an artist who evolves with the beat of her heart, not her wallet.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
In the case of Alanis Morissette, however, it is indeed a factor in the artistic failure of her latest release, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.
The first is a sense of poppiness that spread through much of Jagged Little Pill, though her track "Uninvited" from City Of Angels - a decent song, in my book - was a warning of things to come.
But Morissette has made a turn for the worse with Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - and I suspect that I'm not the only person that's going to call Morissette on the carpet for making a move that could equal popularity suicide.

 Alanis Morissette, Fear of Pop, John Mellencamp — Pop Stops for 12/03/98 by John Everson
The thing that gave Morissette a monstrous hit with Jagged Little Pills was her merging of youthful, sometimes frighteningly frank feministic angst with undeniable pop melodies and beats.
The thing that shoots down Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is its lack of attention to the latter half of that equation.
But for the most part, while there are moments that approach the perfect synergy of Jagged Little Pills, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie relies on too much internal talking and too little on choruses the rest of us can sing along with.
