Title: Ten Years On - Still A Fantastic Album
Review: Tori Amos is a magnificent musician.She is also one weird chick.Little Earthquakes is her first solo album, and its lyrics and melodies easily make it the most approachable of her albums.Boys for Pele, though, has an ingenuity and diversity that most "pop" albums fear. Ms. Amos has enough musical chops to carry it off, too. She varies her instrumentation, uses sounds of nature mixed in with extremely bizarre lyrics to create this wonderful tapestry of art.There aren't a lot of tunes to dance to (as in her middle-years albums), and no apparent rallying causes (as in her first two albums). But Boys for Pele has such a richness in melody, harmony, and lyrical sound that it remains, ten years later, one of my favorite albums.(*)>
