Tori Amos

[Thessi]

... there was a thread on the old mb....... couldn't find one here, which is an outrage, really :eek:
this woman blows my mind.. when i heard that she'd covered smells like teen spirit, i thought that that must be one odd song. then i heard it...... and i tells you, that woman can cover any song by any artist, she's so skill!!
my fav albums of her must be boys for pele, and the scarlett's walk. but i think anything she does sounds amazing!!!

[Mullin]

Not to familiar with Tori!! Must check her out!!

[Noodles]

You should do, she`s a very emotive passionate singer! :D <3

[mally]

She's pretty damn cool as well. I like the fact that in conversation, she refers to her husband as... 'husband'.



i.e. "I was out with husband", "I leave my daughter at home with husband." etc.

[Thessi]

You should do, she`s a very emotive passionate singer! :D <3
she sings her wiccle heart out!!! :'(
ohh she really has THE voice, and that piano + her !!!! wow!!!
anyone lucky enough who's seen her live?

[Velouria]

She does?! :eek:

She had a relationship with him, didn't she? Then he went out with Courtney Love, and that went badly. Then Tori wrote Professional Widow, which was apparently about Courtney Love.

Tori is brilliant though, and I'd love to see her live.

Wow. You learn something new every day after all...

[Mullin]

Yeah right!! I love finding stuff like that out!!

[Black Velvet]

Oh I so adore Cornflake Girl.
But for the rest I really dunno much from her *blushes* :(

[inn]

From the choirgirl hotel a great album :) plus she's a great musician

[Gem]

Did anyone see her on punked?

[Thessi]

well i haven't heard that tori and trent have been envolved in that way :eek:
just that they made the song "past the mission"..... and ever since there have been odd connections.....
Tori sings on professional widow :"starfucker , just like my daddy......." - NiN song Starfuckers Inc.
and again on caught a lite sneeze :"..make my own pretty hate machine..." - NiN album Pretty Hate Machine
:D
ahh, the conspiracy ;)

Have you seen punked? With that little lad who goes to the read carpet and basically takes the piss outta all the celebs and gets them all mixed up?
Well she was got on that; He "thought" she was Tori Spelling, and kept asking her loads of stuff to do with Tori Spelling while she stood their trying to explain she was Tori Amos. It was quite amusing really :D

I don't know if i'd have had the guts to do it. She can be pretty intimidating.

No, you know she is not quite right in the head.

ah she was brill, she was like "aaaaww that poor thing, trying to be clever" :LOL:

[mally]

I agree with you to an extent.
...I'm assuming you've heard about when she performs 'Me and a Gun'?

[Velouria]

I agree with you to an extent.
...I'm assuming you've heard about when she performs 'Me and a Gun'?

Ah, is that where she gets very annoyed when anyone talks through it?

[TisWas]

I agree with you to an extent.
...I'm assuming you've heard about when she performs 'Me and a Gun'?

Nope.

I have nothing against her music, but when i've seen her in interviews she's the biggets tit i have seen. Last one i saw she was staring of into space and talking really slowly. I could understand if she was stoned, but the shite she was comming out with was worse than a Britney Spears interview.

What happens when she preforms that song?

[mally]

What happens when she preforms that song?

Velouria's half-right. If anyone speaks whilst she performs it, she stops... stares at them... and then screams. Allegedly. It is about when she was raped though... :(

[TisWas]

Lol what a fucking nobhead. Not laughing at her being raped, but thats just bigheaded if you force people to listen.

[mally]

Lol what a fucking nobhead. Not laughing at her being raped, but thats just bigheaded if you force people to listen.

Granted. However, as being a musician is her release, and part of that is fulfilled through performing live, surely those that go to see her should respect that?

[Black Velvet]

So is her latest album as good as her others?

[mally]

I haven't bought it yet, as from the tracks I've heard so far, I think it's quite a letdown. Kudos to her: she's settled down, and she's happy. However, her music was best when it was tortured and more self-exploratory. Now, it's merely meh.

Yeah you have that with alot artists. I heard it on tv, when they had an interview with her they said afterwards, it was a bit a dissapointment.

First track I heard was 'A Sorta Fairytale'...

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

..Tori.....No.

[TisWas]

Yes but she should also respect that people maybe commentating on the preformance or have a ligit reason to speak to their friend. Plus screaming just comes across as her not being able to get her way. I could understand if it was a small crowd, but i've seen her play to big crowds. So i basicaly just mean it's over the top on the basis of big crowds if thats is when she has done it.

[mally]

Yep. Definitely see your point.

[Thessi]

So is her latest album as good as her others?
i have it. it is great! not a letdown, how can you even say that when you haven't heard it thoroughly? :p
her voice and that piano could never let me down.
Yes but she should also respect that people maybe commentating on the preformance or have a ligit reason to speak to their friend.
the song is very, very emotional. so i don't wonder at all if she freaks out while bringing out those feelings.

[mally]

I shall try to listen to the whole thing soon... I am being a bit judgemental. :rolleyes:

[slightly bemused]

Are you talking about Scarlet's Walk? Because her latest album would be Tales Of A Librarian collection actually :P

I love Scarlet's Walk, it's long but it flows really well. It's one of my favorite albums by her, after Boys For Pele (my fave) and maybe From The Choirgirl Hotel.

Tori has her manias, I think it's a little weird this Me and a Gun thing but if you go to her concert you're not gonna die to keep in silence for a while, right? If she wants to create a fuss, just don't give her reasons ;)

[mally]

Are you talking about Scarlet's Walk? Because her latest album would be Tales Of A Librarian collection actually :P

Hehe, true... but Greatest Hits never quuuuite figure as proper albums to me.

[slightly bemused]

^it's not actually a Greatest Hits, it's more like...a collection of songs :D

[mally]

^it's not actually a Greatest Hits, it's more like...a collection of songs :D

How did she choose which ones to put on there?

[slightly bemused]

well, considering you have to ask her and not me, she answers (you know, I gave her a little call :p ) :

"I'm referring to it more as a 'best-of' because I think to have a 'Greatest Hits' you need like ten Top Ten hits. This is more of a chronicle of what we know of Tori from 1990 to 2003...So it's from her perspective of the last many years, having traveled around the world and going through her own personal stuff. And the songs do that. Maybe it's the closest thing to an autobiography of this woman's life that there's ever been."
--Tori; Rollingstone.com 09/05/03

"It includes things like Precious Things and of course Silent All These Years, Cornflake Girl, Spark, songs that people might be familiar with on one level. And then there are quite a lot of songs that I felt gave you more story and a bit of sizzle with variations musically. It had to represent a whole musical spectrum because that's very much a part of the story. It's not just the ballads. It's not just what you heard on the radio."
--Tori; Rollingstone.com 09/05/03

Wow, thanks hun! :D

here's a question, and me and a mate of mine are unsure of this, how many miscarriages has tori had?

i'm not a freak for knowing that straight away... i just happened to read it in an article the other day

i think you'll be pleasantly surprised ;)
it has such a lovely athmosphere that album.

Playboy Mommy and Spark are about her miscarriages, I know what.

Playboy Mommy makes me cry. :(

That does make sense, what if people were just innocently talking. No need to scream and why should someone have to listen to someone sing about a rape. Like i say i can understand when it's a small audience, but not when you can't hear them, you just see them talking.

[inn]

Yea we heard it was 3 too, but I was unsure because that's alot of miscarriages to have :(

[inn]

Playboy Mommy makes me cry. :(
Yea I heard that too. And spark is one of my favourite songs by her

[mally]

Yea we heard it was 3 too, but I was unsure because that's alot of miscarriages to have :(

It is. Hence, she was extra-careful the last time she got pregnant... and now she has a little girl.

[Fingerprints]

she's been sexually abused by a friend of the family when she was a child. Black dove is about the nightmares she has a result of that. And iieee is about after the misscarriages how she started to hallucinate about a small boy with whom she would try to save the world the world but they would always be too late at every town they get. That album(from the choirgirl hotel) was very self exploratory of her demons I believe....

Btw, she admits to being nuts and not doing a drug called Datura because that could push her over the edge and she doesn't want that....And she talks to her own self invented deities among others called Space Dog, hence the song...

LOve, Sel.

[Thessi]

Still doesn't justify forcing people to listen.
the people on the gig have come there to listen to her... they shouldn't even be there if it was something they'd be forced to do.

[TisWas]

the people on the gig have come there to listen to her... they shouldn't even be there if it was something they'd be forced to do.

That's bollocks, what if they like every other song except that one song. Music is entertainment.

[twovolumenovel]

I've seen Tori Amos live three times, and every time she has been so utterly amazing. The music is unbelievable. So, I don't know what all this nonsense is about her screaming and that, she has a good time onstage. But Me And A Gun isn't the easiest thing to hear live...

But she does seem totally crazy. When you read articles, she comes across as a nutter. But thats probably what makes her music so unique.

She scares me when she talks about faeries. And those pictures from pele of her breastfeeding the pig... :LOL:

[slightly bemused]

Perhaps she is a little crazy, but man, that woman is CLEVER like only a few are.

...at least when I understand what she's talking about :D

[twovolumenovel]

Have recently gotten a hold of her cover of Famous Blue Raincoat. It's utterly incredible. The woman is a goddess.

Tori and Muse are my favourite artists. I think both have a certain kind of ethereal quality to them at times, when they are at their very best. They are two live acts that I have seen and been utterly mesmerised by. But as well as that, they both rock.

[inn]

I think she would be stunning to watch live, though i doubt to see that happpening anytime soon

[slightly bemused]

Has anyone got the DVD?

[Thessi]

Has anyone got the DVD?
me!! :D
still haven't seen it though. don't have a dvd player at the moment.

[Velouria]

Has anyone got the DVD?

Yep, though I haven't got around to watching it. I've listened to the songs on the CD with it though, and some of those seem good.

[twovolumenovel]

I think she would be stunning to watch live, though i doubt to see that happpening anytime soon

She tours a lot. Put money aside now, cos she's due a tour. And it is well worth it.

[Ammaeli]

I absolutely adore Tori. I believe Boys For Pele is one of the best albums ever written & is my favourite of them all. She's a very unique talent.

I also get very defensive when it comes to her. So when you say she "should be shot" i think that's a bit of a harsh reaction, don't you think? Sure you think she sounds weird because she speaks using alot of metaphors & has different opinions, but that doesn't make her 'demented' in any way. She's very intelligent.

Anyway, it's great to see there are so many Muse fans that like Tori!

If you want to see her little stint on punkd, its available at www.hereinmyhead.com

Just to be annoying, Professional Widow isn't about Courtney Love. But there was something going on between her & Trent for a little while.

Out of curiosity, where did you hear she screamed at people during Me & A Gun? I've never heard of her doing that. It's a very emotional [& confronting] song about her rape, & she often gets rude comments from the audience when eprforming it so, that could explain her getting angry at the crowd. *shrug*

Sorry for the long post & for bringing up an old thread. I'm new by the way so hi! :)

I don't know about MAAG, but I do know that awesome Gold Dust version where she says fuck you to the girl who screams for Silent All These Years.
I wouldn't doubt she'd make that - she really seems to take her music seriously. Nevertheless, it sounds a little out of proportion and I've never heard of it either. And I still think listening to her is the point of seeing her live, I can't see why people would go to her concert if they're not interested.

Hello there :)

[inn]

She tours a lot. Put money aside now, cos she's due a tour. And it is well worth it.

I'd keep a look out then. As long she does a venue that isnt too far north or south then I'd be ok.

[Keys]

could someone tell me where to download piano scores on the internet please.

thanks

[autostop]

Ah, Tori Amos! I love her dearly. Songs like Cornflake Girl, Mr. Zebra and the not-so-popular (although I can't figure out why) Leather are some high-quality stuff.

[slightly bemused]

Leather is amazing. Especially live. One of the highlights of the DVD for me.

[slightly bemused]

Anyone heard The Beekeeper yet? Another great piece of work to come out.

I am just listening to it for the first time. I like it very much, though I have to admit that that the album could be a bit more versatile... I'm too much of a "Boys For Pele" -girl :)

Boys for Pele pwns.
I love the version of Mohammed My Friend that she did with Maynard. :D

www.toriamosonline.com has heaps of scanned scores, but its down at the moment. It's getting fixed up for something so, should be up later.

I bought Beekeeper this week & my first reaction was...blah. It's really growing on me now though. I love Mother Revolution, The Beekeeper, Original Sinsuality & Mary of the Sea.

Do you reckon everyone would sit down?

I want to see her... :'(

[mud]

Awwh! Tori! :p

I love her music :happy:

Oh, seriously.. A friend of mine made me a collection of her songs and I now love her stuff. The piano is mad, her voice is so nice. I just am captivated by it all.

I dunno. I just listen to her, and I am like "qulaity plus one". Wonderful :)

The new album is really good. Her voice just makes me shivvvvver :happy:

Oh, and on the topic of beatles, i reckon she must like em a bit. She did a cover of Happiness Is A Warm Gun and she has a song called Abbey Road. She mentions Strawberry Field in a song. Oh dear, i forget the song name :( Anyway, she says, "wake up in Strawberry Fields everyday..". Theres some other stuff but i will leave it for the time ;)

I just got backrow seats.

[springa]

Tori is great, I absolutely adore her music. For the last ten years she's the only artist that i didn't get tired from, and i don't think i ever will. She has an incredible voice that blows me away every time. And I'm going to see her next week! wait a sec, is it 9th already? Yohoo, 3 days left!

And as for the tickets, you should really buy them as soon as they go on sale. I waited two days only and they were gone! I couldn't believe they would sell out so quick. So I ended buying mine on ebay.

Cheers to you all

[Ammaeli]

tell us how it was! :)

[Gemsy]

fuckholes
:'(

[springa]

tell us how it was! :)
I loved it! To say that it was incredible means not to say anything, her voice just blew me away. It’s one thing to hear a beautiful singing on a radio but when you actually see her singing - no gimmicks, no editing, just an amazing voice and a piano, it fills the hall with something out of the ordinary. I was in the state of awe for the big part of my way back after the concert and i wasn‘t the only one. The majority of the people looked after the concert like they didn’t quite come down to earth yet. Or i might just imagined all this cause i never saw Tori or any other artist like her for that matter on a concert.

She sang many songs from the early albums, several from Boys for Pele and Sweet the Sting from the new one. I don’t remember the play list cause i didn’t know some of the songs, but it was a very long, and with 2 encores it came to an hour and 50 minutes! The Muse concert in Boston was one hour with 1 encore, btw.

There was some other guy opening for her whom i never heard of, whose guitar made my ears ring so quickly i wasn’t sure if being close to the stage, and to the speakers for that matter, was such a great idea. It definitely was! There was some girl who left short after the first encore and i took her seat - right in the front edge of our box. Man, you should really try and grab the tickets in the first rows, it makes such a difference! I looked at the people down in the orchestra section, everyone was standing trying to get a good view cause many people were glued to the stage. It was an old-fashioned theater and with all the seating arrangements before the show it looked kinda funny.

Anyway, loved the show. I’ll definitely see her again if i have a chance.

[halo eighteen]

The Detroit show is tomorrow already! I can't wait! I'm hoping for Blood Roses, Little Earthquakes, any kind of Cure cover she can churn out... right.

[springa]

I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

And from what i remember, she sang Happy Phantom, Sweet the Sting, Goodbye Pisces, Little Amsterdam, Leather, Sweet Dreams (cover), China, Space Dog and Wednesday. This list's way too short, i guess that i didn't know about half of the songs but i'm sure there was nothing from "To Venus And Back" and "From The Choirgirl Hotel" albums. I have those two and i listened them too many times to forget the songs! :p

I'm trying! Got crappy seats for the first show, but she announced a second one here so I'm trying to get good tickets at the moment. ticketmaster7 really doesn't like working in my favour though.

& Halo, did you request The Cure for the piano bar? I requested PJ Harvey, but i'd die if I heard her play the Cure anyway.

[xush]

everyone in my band is a big Tori fan (P J too, for that matter)
We've found her fans to be some of the most devoted out there.

Cool lady, great music.
Fun to play too!

[Ammaeli]

Just met Tori herself a couple of hours ago...

she would have to be one of the kindest people I have ever met.
I now have a signed Boys For Pele & a hug. woo!

Going to see her second Melbourne show tonight, the first one was incredible! :)

was she nice to hug? i want a hug, how did you hug her? huh huh?

[Ammaeli]

hahah. She is nice to hug! I said something to her, kind of personal but then I thanked her for coming to Australia & she pulled me in & hugged me. She's lovely. :)

[Gemsy]

Awww, I'm seeing her on the 4th June.
Can't wait... :happy:

[Shingles]

I think Tori Amos is da bomb

[Ammaeli]

Awww, I'm seeing her on the 4th June.
Can't wait... :happy:

ah! you'll love it, i'm sure. tell us all afterwards! :happy:

[Gemsy]

I was like :eek: the whole time. Heehee, and I cried as well. That is MUSIC, goddamnit. So fucking emotional, babeh.
Honestly, you can't take your eyes off her. She straddles the stool and plays the grand piano and hammond at the same time, then turns around and sings from one microphone to the other... she's a fucking genius.
I love her.
And she's so pretty.
She had a beautiful floaty green dress on like a little pixie fairy. :happy:

But she's pure filth. :LOL:
"Fuck! Let's try that again shall we?!"

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Did she cover Smells Like Teen Spirit?

[Gemsy]

Did she cover Smells Like Teen Spirit?
No, but she did take requests and chose two to play.
She did Father Figure by George Michael/Wham, whichever it was. And another one that I didn't know, or barely knew, anyway.
Tori's Piano Bar.
So cute. :happy:

[Keys]

wooo 19 hours till tori :happy:

[Ammaeli]

Gemsy - was that the show with the gospel choir?

[Gemsy]

Gemsy - was that the show with the gospel choir?
Yep, she had the choir for some songs. :D

[Keys]

:( we didnt get a choir, but she did sing Fog on the Tyne :LOL:

she is now my new god, and i got lots of pictures, videos and audios so will probably post them later or something. Would have maxed the memory on the camera if it wasnt for stupid man who said "no cameras allowed" so had to wait till he fucked off before resuming :happy: WOO!

[Ammaeli]

Awww, Tori can cover what the hell she likes. :(

She covered Kylie Minogue at my show & it was still incredible.

I love when she used to do Hurt by NIN in the Pele days. :happy:

[Velouria]

You've only just noticed that she covers unfashionable songs? She covered a load of Chas and Dave stuff years ago. :LOL:

[Gemsy]

[twovolumenovel]

I know, but it was Travis. The worst band in the world...ever.

[Neon Ghost]

She covered "Smells like Teen Spirit" live once...
It wasn't that bad...
I still prefer the original though. :rolleyes:

Generally I love her music... She has a certain style and voice you won't confuse with any other artist. That's worth something.

[breaking_porcelain]

Has anyone ever seen her live?

She came to Australia just last month, for the first time in over 10 years.
So I went to 2 out of 3 of her Sydney shows. Fuck. She was brilliant.

[Ammaeli]

I want to hear this! Anyone have an mp3?

she never did it as a full song (as far as I know) but usually as an improvised intro for Caught a Lite Sneeze. if you go to Diagnosed Sounds, http://www.hereinmyhead.com/sounds/bfp.html , just find the ones called Hurt/Caught a Lite Sneeze.

Also heaps of stuff there from the recent tour for anyone interested.

breaking_porcelain: I went to both Melbourne shows. she was incredible...

[Blue lagoon]

Cornflake Girl is one of Tori Amos most well know song's.I have not heard her other song but that one where she is in a black and white video.

[mayblossom]

I really like Sweet The Sting that's being released from The Beekeeper album.
You can see the video here. (http://www.toriamos.com/tori_sweet_video.html)

[egomaniac]

I just want to state for the 3867890 time that i fucking love tori amos

I'm watching the welcome to sunny florida dvd and I just need too quote this

"Boys just watch, just watch what they’ll do
Sweet boy when the find you out
Tell me what you think they’ll do, when they find out you have a little dick
Tell me what you think they’ll do, when they find you out
When they find you out, when they find you out, find out
Your just a pussy, my sweet boy
My sugar"



purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Gemsy]

I watch that DVD every single weekend when I get home from clubbing and it's chill time. Tori time... :D
It's fucking wonderful. :happy:

[mercuryqueen]

I'm a fairly porr tori fan - I've only heard leather. *ashamed*

It's a brilliant song though. Relaxing yet sexy.

[breaking_porcelain]

I adore this woman. I crown her as my #1 favourite artist.
Best album: From the Choirgirl Hotel.
To Venus and Back, comes in close behind.

And just to be an annoying groupie...
This is the awkward hug her + I shared last year:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y281/pastel_paper_doll/CopyofCopyofDSCN0455.jpg

[Ammaeli]

Tori is a dirty bitch. :happy:

Wrapper around you finger is my favourite tori amos song at the moment. I just wanted to share that

[Ammaeli]

Did anyone buy Fade To Red? Even if you already have all the videos, it's worth it for all the commentary. It's great.

I've heard she's working on her new album at the moment & its due for release next year! woo! :D

[egomaniac]

I FUCKING LOVE TORI AMOS, caught a light sneeze puuuuuuuurrrrr:D

[egomaniac]

It is on my list of album's to buy

[egomaniac]

It's the type of album that grabs you with the first listen. I'm positive it's her best work

[Fingerprints]

I have it and it worth all the money I paid for it. The postcards are so cool :D

LOve, Sel.

[egomaniac]

Something like 23 anyway. Not too sure. Only listened to it in the car so far hehe.

[Emma Loves Muse]

Ooh yay, shes gonna be on The Late Show in a sec!:happy:


EDIT: Yay:happy:

[Fingerprints]

23??? Are some of the tracks random Arnie quotes?

Five songs are under two minutes. It doesn't feel that long anyway. Fat Slut only is almost a minute long. Besides, the dvd version has a bonus track on the dvd: My Posse Can Do, sung by Santa. It's such a cute song. More bonus tracks via itunes and special download code, from barnes and noble, are Miracle and Drive All Night. They haven't stuck inside my head yet though.

LOve, Sel.

[guitarchaeologist]

Did anyone watch her on Letterman last night? OMG she was brilliant!

And she looked AMAZING.

She's coming to Australia in September!! :happy:

[Hebetude]

I'm loving the new album. :happy:
Lots better than The Beekeeper.

[Thessi]

I'm loving the new album. :happy:
Lots better than The Beekeeper.

It is amazing :happy: Love her different stage personas too.

American Doll Posse has so many of my new favourite songs on it.

[Lynzi]

She does a lot of cover songs doesn't she?:happy:

Enjoy the Silence
Killing me softley
Smells like teen spirit
Losing my religion
American Pie
Somewhere over the rainbow
Amazing Grace
I'm not in love

I have them all, I really like Tori but her latest stuff not so much:noey:

[Hebetude]

She does a lot of cover songs doesn't she?:happy:
Some better than others, though :LOL:

But I really like the cover she did of Famous Blue Raincoat.

[Lynzi]

Some better than others, though :LOL:

But I really like the cover she did of Famous Blue Raincoat.

I edited but yeah I think sometimes the poor quality on the songs make them bad, ive got 3 mp3s of killing me softly and everyone is kinda crackily idk maybe it's how it's supposed to be but yeah I didn't like smells like teen spirit or american pie.

I love I'm not in love though and Amazing grace which she sang with Tool:happy:

[QueenOfNerds]

icicle is one of her best. Definitely the most beautiful song about masturbation.
"Getting off
Getting off
While they're all downstairs
Singing prayers":LOL:

[Gemsy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P_33BbQlBg&feature=related

One of my most favourite things ever.

[HarmonyLover]

Tori bores me.

[egomaniac]

I have been well into Tori the last couple of months, it's only been in the last week I could listen to anything else. The only artist that is at the same level as the pumpkins in my love list.

Gemsy that's why you rock, I love that video and song. Maynard just makes it orgasmic

[Gemsy]

[guitarchaeologist]

HELLO, NEW ALBUM, NEW SONG!!!

http://perezhilton.com/2009-03-18-new-tori

:awesome:

[Pib]

Listen to her cover of Raining Blood by Slayer. That's a good one.

Tori is awesome.

[QueenOfNerds]

HELLO, NEW ALBUM, NEW SONG!!!

http://perezhilton.com/2009-03-18-new-tori

:awesome:

oh oh oh oh oh New Tori :awesome:

New Placebo, New Yeah Yeah Yeahs and now this! I am in heaven:happy:
Just waiting on Muse and Joanna Newsom now....

[QueenOfNerds]

I have been listening to Scarlets walk, just an awesome album.

[ArrowSmith]

So is anyone listening to AATS yet? I think it's her best album in 10 years.

[egomaniac]

I picked it up today, I must say I'm really impressed with this first listen, not a bad song yet. I love the opening track a lot

And on another note, I think this is my favourite album art of all time, I love the boolet in the special edition, the pictures and artistic vision is awesome

[Press Gang]

And Tori in leather with a whip doesn't hurt it either.

[egomaniac]

curtian call is fucking amazing, really likeing this album. She hasn't made an album the flows so well since choir girl hotel. Not saying it better than the other in between but as a whole it seems to fit much better

[egomaniac]

Now that I have given it the once over while laying bed I will give my final opinion.

It's my favourite tori album. It's amazing, give, strong black vine, curtain call, starling, ophelia and lady in blue are some of the best songs she has ever written.

It has two weak songs 6 amazing songs and 6 great songs and 3 good songs. In a whole it's her greatest work and the best album of the decade.

Placebo has their work cut out for them. But it's hard to see them top this

[Kid B]

I love Tori's old stuff but recently her albums have just been toooooo long. Choirgirl was fantastic and IMO her last really great album but I don't understand why she can't just cut it down to a 12 to 13 track album. American Doll Posse could have been a GREAT album if there wasn't so much filler. With that said, I will listen to this and some of the reviews have given me some hope.

[QueenOfNerds]

So is it better that the last one peeps? Might buy it soon.

[ArrowSmith]

So is it better that the last one peeps? Might buy it soon.

You SHOULD buy it! The best Tori since Choirgirl.

[Cydoniababy]

I've just listened to the album for the first time, I liked Curtain Call and Mary Jane the most <3

Oh and Welcome To England too.

And Lady In Blue.


*yeah I've been listening to it all night now :awesome:

[QueenOfNerds]

You SHOULD buy it! The best Tori since Choirgirl.

Ohh excited now!

[Obi]

Call me sad but I was looking up muse songs on spotify because I was bored.

Typed in Bliss and her song came up. It was really good. What other songs might I like by her?

[QueenOfNerds]

Probably Spark, thats a good one.
Black dove is good.

[Gemsy]

I love Spark omg.
Give Hey Jupiter a spin too, makes me cryyy. <3

[Obi]

I'll listen to all of those. :)

[ArrowSmith]

Try:

"Give", "Not the Red Baron"

[Gemsy]

Oooh Hammersmith, 11th September. Tempted!

[QueenOfNerds]

I'm really loving the album now. I am not sure about some of the songs but I love Give, Strong black vine, Flavour, Curtain call and Maybe California.
Those are my faves at the mo.

[Rudderless Hippy]

OMG the new album. Love pretty much every song <3
