I used to love her stuff but I guess I've outgrown her or something. Never even listened to this one.

Good Starting Point For A New Tori Amos Listener
Indiana Jeff Reynolds | Indianapolis, IN USA | 11/23/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw a couple of Tori's CD's at a Wal-Mart, enough to spark up curiosity. My first exposure to her music was her live Video of a benefit concert. This actually bored me, but I decided to give her a second chance and listen to this project. I'm glad I did.



For those who have not seen my profile or my other reviews, I am coming from the perspective of a songwriter and of an ordained minister (Fundamentalist). I was not able to follow her lyrics and can tell she has religious and philosophical themes, but am not sure if they are compatible, different, or antagonistic to mine. "Crucify" does seem to speak about dealing with shame, for example; I'm one that believes shame is useful if based on a specific action with a specific resolution, and harmful if not accompanied with reason or resolution. I'm not sure if she is dealing with harmful shame, or condemning shame across the board.



Tori Amos is very creative, and the packaging of this project is exhibit A. She has a listing of the Dewey Decimal System, and then catalogs her songs according to the subject.



Overall, I enjoy her sound. I don't know how to label her music, and I consider that a good thing. Another reviewer said that a greatest hits compilation is not always the best intro for a new listener, but said that this is an exception, and I agree 100%.

Depends on if you own other Tori....

"If you don't own any other Tori, then get this! A great collection of her music. If you own her other stuff, don't waste your $ because it is all the same exacts songs as you already have. As of the 4 that aren't on other CD's, definitely download them individually."
