...unfettered anger, Alanis' best workis her most subtle. "You Oughta Know" might be thesong that made her famous, but tracks like "AreYou Still Mad" will provide her with careerlongevity and new creative outlets. Much like thehidden number on Jagged Little Pill, thesong asks seemingly apologetic questions to aformer lover: "Are you still mad that I kicked youout of bed? / Are you still mad I gave youultimatums? / Are you still mad I had an emotionalaffair?"
