The (very brilliant) album this song is from was on my earphones in heavy rotation while flying over the atlantic ocean to her homeland. I was so looking forward spending a year and a bit there. I think she resides in the UK for over a decade now? Maybe you want to attack the other embassy now? Silly act. Nonetheless. |

I feel a little bit better knowing there's artists like Tori Amos in the world pissing off the armchair music critics. I think she probably enjoys knowing that too.

The words "Glock" and "gun" certainly belong in the same sentence. |

Trustocity wrote:This message isn't for tg3k but for anyone else who might resonate with what I'm about to say. Speaking as a Christian, not on behalf of them, I'll tell you that Christians are at their worst when we allow our selfish need to be right to drive our desire to save the souls of others. It's an either/or situation, a conflict of interests. If you ever sense a Christian trying to "sell" you something, just walk away. Tg3k is spot-on to say that he recognizes truth in Christian teachings but despises brow-beating. Salvation is, in part, a choice between covering your own ass or looking out for the asses of others. I happen to know a hundred "liberals" who care more deeply for the unfortunate and needy than a lot of the Christians I've known. If you're that liberal, I'd like you to consider, just for a moment, that you are closer to accepting Christ than you think. Tori is definitely in that boat. I had the same violent reaction every Christian does to the title "Father Lucifer," moreso because I'm probably the biggest Tori fanatic in the entire evangelical congregation. It's obvious, if you take the time to listen, that Tori is using a wildly antagonistic metaphor to say not that she loves Satan but that God, as represented by the psychotic televangelists and their throng, is not looking so cogent these days. The song is a question, not a statement. To the Christians in the audience, I say, try listening at least as often as you speak — see if that opens your mind at all. Just a thought.

I like Tori and think she is an exceptional artist and musician, but she misfired here. Some of the backing vocal is off key and the horns are horrible in the mix. Whether intentional or not, it's ugly musically; I do give her props for trying for an unusual sound. As to the lyrics and such, I can't even get that far past the musical cacophony in this tune.

At least this song delivers 3 or 4 pathetic sob-sighs to give warning of what's to come, allowing me to change stations. It would be good if she provided a similar Early Warning System on all of her songs (in case the piano doesn't provide enough of a clue).

The last run of this song came immediately before Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk. Talk about a clash. Horrible screeching vs solid jazz piano. It's almost an insult to Brubeck.

Ugh. No more Tori, please. Don't get me wrong — I really liked "Little Earthquakes." But mostly her vocal style drives me insane. Nails on a chalkboard.
