Title: A huge disappointment to a huge Tori fan.
Review: I am a huge fan of Tori Amos - I have been since the days of Little Earthquakes. She is a stunning song writer and singer - probably my favorite out there. But I was terribly disappointed with this album. She seems to swing too far in the direction of self-consciously deliberate "alternativeness." While it is an interesting musical exercise, and perhaps we should appreciate it as artistic growth that allowed Tori to reach the heights she does in her most recent album, "Songs from the Choirgirl Hotel," the album comes off as almost pretentious. I ended up selling my CD back to a used CD place. If you want to hear Tori at her best (which is a truly magical musical experience), get either "Little Earthquakes," her first, or "Choirgirl Hotel." A disappointing musical experience overall!
