Tori Amos (part 6) - Strange little girls



Album # 6 is a concept and cover album, in which Tori sings 12 songs originally written & sang by men, reinterpreted to a woman’s point of view. As such, one may like the original better over Tori’s, or the other way around… let’s see one by one what I have to say.

Tori Amos - (part 5 ) To Venus and Back





Album #5 ''to venus & back'' (cd1 - ''orbiting'')

out of 11 songs, I dislike only 2, the same 2 as throughout the past year of getting more familiar with Tori's music : Suede (I find her voice too rough, I prefer her sweeter one on other songs), & Datura (too weired for me, still)


Tori Amos - (part 4) - From the choirgirl hotel




Album # 4 ''from the choirgirl hotel'' I loved 11 songs out of 12 (92%), disliking only ''she's your cocaïne'', due to the vocals and arrangements in the last minute & half... if it hadn't been for that, I might have given it an 8 just like ''iieee'' ; ''playboy mommy'' & ''pandora's aquarium''.

Tori Amos - (part 3) - Boys for pele




Album # 3, ''Boys for Pele'' which my wife thought I’d hate… Well, I liked.... ***roll drums*** 13 out of 18 songs, a score neither of us imagined.
Here, I prefer to display the back cover.

Tori Amos - (part 2) - Under the Pink



Album # 2 ''Under the pink''.

A) I loved all 12 songs on it, tho I liked less ''the waitress'' (rated 8) ; ''past the mission'' & ''Cornflake girl'' (rated 7), ALL the other ones I really liked and scored them... 10/10 !

total score of ''under the pink'' 100% of the songs are loved, total score 112/120 = 93.3% 


Tori Amos - (part 1) - Little Earthquakes







The first song I heard was Crucify, and… I just wasn’t ready for this acquired taste! Indeed, her voice blended with a piano didn’t appeal to me, back in the 1990’s. I never tried to listen to her again until I married a Toriphile… 
My wife’s an Ears with feet, a Tori Amos fan, who was shocked to hear my dislike. Knowing that I liked some 1980’s music, she came up with the idea to introduce me to ‘’Y kant Tori read’’, which I liked and helped push me to try the rest of her career. For the past 15 or so months, I started listening to the cd’s in chronological order and learned to love Crucify, the very song which had made me wince, and expand from 1 song to several, and very gradually liking 2 songs per album to liking a majority.
