4.5 superb | Iai EMERITUS | June 26th 06 | Some people seem to think of Tori Amos as easy listening. Those people can either fuck right off, or open their ears. Little Earthquakes spawned a female singer-songwriter movement that pervaded the entire 90s simply by being one of the most emotionally harrowing listens in all of singer-songwriter-land. What other album gives you such an intoxicating mix of Catholic guilt, betrayal, redemption, love, hate, beauty, bitterness, and sex? What other album provides an a capella song that ranks amongst the heaviest compositions of all time? What other album dares to call out a former lover by taunting 'Boy, you best hope I bleed real soon.....how's that thought for ya?' If all that counts as easy listening for you, you're clearly twisted. One of the albums that genuinely defined the musical course of the 90s, it only took Tori until Boys For Pele to realise that she had no chance of bettering this.

4.5 superb | TheSupernatural | December 12th 12 | I like this album, but there's something more than that to it. It's infectious, it's emotional, and it's so well-done that I have to question why this album doesn't get more attention. So many powerful lyrics throughout the album, matched by Tori Amos' incredible voice and a decent band behind her, make this quite the album.

5.0 classic | Underflow | April 18th 11 | Simply one of the best pop albums around--still. If you don't have this, get it.

4.5 superb | Splatch | October 13th 09 | Tori Amos' lyrics are the main thing to be listening for in this album. It's piano music, it's kinda girly, and sappy. I like it though.

4.5 superb | Altmer | March 3rd 08 | Have you heard that one piano song with a woman singing lately? Well, if you have, it all harks back to this little gem in the end. Tori Amos did it not the first (Kate Bush says hi), but she did it the best. Winter is the best song ever spawned in female singer-songwriter land and Silent All These Years's chorus is an absolute winner. And who else could make an a cappella song about rape work without sounding whiny? Only Tori. If you want a good, emotional ride through a young woman's brain, get this. If you want a record chock full of good, catchy tunes, get this. Hell, if you don't know what you want to get at the store and you don't own this record, get this. It is one of those albums that will keep the lovers drooling and even the haters admire the quality and talent she possesses. Amazing.
