November 20, 201113 yr Sounds like the same accusation aimed at Tori's last abum too. I find it inpenetrable but it seems more of a grower tha Ariel, which i found very dull. I'm a massive Tori loon but even I have to accept that her past few albums have been pretty awful. Still, at least she moved up in quality from Abnormally Attracted To Sin - although that was by FAR her worst album to date so I guess it wasn't difficult. Quick Tori album rank: 01 To Venus And Back (not a popular first choice but I adore it) 02 Under The Pink 03 From The Choirgirl Hotel 04 Little Earthquakes 05 Boys For Pele 06 Scarlet's Walk 07 American Doll Posse 08 Strange Little Girls 09 Night Of Hunters 10 Midwinter Graces 11 The Beekeeper 12 Abnormally Attracted To Sin

November 20, 201113 yr Head and shoulders above most albums by most females - (apart from Kate) 01 Under The Pink 02 From The Choirgirl Hotel 03 Little Earthquakes 04 Scarlet's Walk 05 Boys For Pele Albums with a few good tracks and lots of filler 06 To Venus And Back 07 American Doll Posse 08 Strange Little Girls 09 Abnormally Attracted To Sin 10 The Beekeeper Albums that I cannot seem to find any standout tracks on. 11 Night Of Hunters 12 Midwinter Graces Edited November 20, 201113 yr by tonyttt31
November 20, 201113 yr Tony, To Venus And Back is wonderful! 10 Bliss 09 Juarez 09 Concertina 09 Glory Of The 80s 10 Lust 08 Suede 07 Josephine 08 Riot Proof 07 Datura 10 Spring Haze 10 1000 Oceans Plus then it has the wonderful live album on disc 2.

November 28, 201113 yr i take everything negative i've sad back i really like her (~: Really? :o Although you should do, her early work is really special to me.
November 28, 201113 yr no :o i dunno i downloaded Boys For Pele and i realized how nice a lot of it is. a lot of it is pretty much straight up my alley in terms of aesthetic. i dunno why i had given her such a hard time. i think from the little output i heard, which was mostly her recent stuff, i was not much of a fan, but there's something special about her older stuff.

Pele is great. I particularly love Beauty Queen / Horses, Doughnut Song, Caught a Lite Sneeze, Putting The Damage On and Hey Jupiter although there aren't really many bad moments on it.

November 29, 201113 yr wohoooo!!! another convert. If only every one dismissed her 00s work and went straight to her 90s albums. Although, Scarlet's Walk (2002) - while being less sharp - is filled with beautiful songs. Edited November 29, 201113 yr by tonyttt31
February 1, 201213 yr XmCdzuFATSQ Pitch lowered so she sounds like a man. Still haunting. Edited February 1, 201213 yr by tonyttt31
August 20, 201213 yr Another retrospective - Gold Dust. I'm really looking forward to Winter and Precious Things. She's cut Yes, Anastasia in half - I hope it's not a mistake doing that. The track Gold Dust is already couched in strings. _____________________________________ "Gold Dust is about celebrating over 20 years of all the conversations that have happened which inspired many of these songs and it's a collection of new recordings of where they are now and who they have become." 1.

September 28, 201212 yr I listened the streaming of this this last night - it was cool. From Yes, Anastasia to Gold Dust was fantastic. Best part of any best-of or compilation I've ever heard. Buying it later today. Edited September 28, 201212 yr by AnthonyT
