Negative Positive
Title: The piano has been putting on makeup, not me...not me...
Review: Tori is tori and Scarlet's Walk, as one reviewer stated so well, is still better than 90% of what's out there. Lyrically, she's in top form, great images, shocking, quirky, rough, but the music has her sounding closer to a lounge act than ever before. It's uninspired, repetitive(I keep thinking I've played the song all ready and keep reaching for the CD button). Evidently she was going for that American Landscape atmosphere, I suppose. I think she should spend a little less time on her marketing and more on capturing a musical direction that is on par with her lyrics. What happened on her tour of America? No clubs or punk bars? Just diners and truckstops and that occasional, sinful, wine and cigar bar?(Let's just hope she doesn't hook up with Rod Stewart and do WW 2 music...)
Is the review positive or negative?
