Title: Talented artist seriously stumbles on her thrid go around
Review: The first pair of Amos' albums proved her to be a vital and talented artist - a writer of gorgeous melodies, startling lyrics, and imaginative musical arrangements. Unfortunately on her third go around she is dangerously close to self-parody with an unfocused piece of work that does little to alter her growing image of a self righteous, humorless, man hater (the later of which is reinforced by the album's title and cover photo) who sadly just may be running out of musical ideas. While songs like "Blood Roses" "Talua" and "Caught A Lite Sneeze" hint at the promise of her first two albums, far too many others undercut the momentum Amos gained with her debut and its follow up.If you still think you might be interested in this CD, save the dough and hit the used CD bins first. I run into this one all the time there.
