THIS song, however, still remains the weak link and will always be skipped by me....!
I agree... I love Tori; she's my favorite artist and my own muse... but this song is not her best, by any means. |

I used to love Tori Amos. But her new "adult contemporary" flavor makes me nauseated. I respect that artists need to change, and she is no different... but I wish she'd stopped while her music was still good and not just a bunch of high-pitched, tame melodies with nonsensical lyrics. I think having a kid changes everything. You lose your edge. She and Sarah McLachlan need to form a club. Depressing.

ug. I always have to turn down my sound when Tori is playing, way too sharp and piercing for my taste. And this song is definitely not one of her better ones...

Some brilliant songs (Parasol, The Power of Orange Knickers) are mixed together with some b-side -quality stuff (Ireland, Original Sinsuality).
It's sort of like Kate Bush's "The Red Shoes". Not a bad album in any sense, but just not up to the high standards set by the previous ones.
I liked Little Earhquakes quite a lot--even saw past the Kate Bush comparisons, but after Boys for Pele I think she has been floundering a bit. |

HER MUSIC , IF YOU CARE TO LISTEN THAT LONG, IS A MUSICAL JOURNEY...
I CAN'T SAY THAT THERE'S EVER BEEN A SONG THAT I DIDN'T LIKE...
I KNOW ,I KNOW, I'M A TRUE TORI DEVOTEE.  She truly is a talent. Only problem is that her composition and arrangements are so HEAVY that all my thoughts are a jumble after about 30 minutes of listening to her music. She needs to lighten up and have some fun. |

Other Tori people, any insight so far? (and please, no "Tori always sucks" responses! We are well aware of how you feel!) =; I've liked all the songs I've heard so far enough to buy the album. |

First I've heard from the new album... if this is any indication... it's a good sign!
