I'll probably buy the special edition. I still like Tori. Sometimes you just need completely incomprehensible lyrics to get through the day.

I fully approve of this headline. +1

In order not to spoil my memory of Little Earthquakes I will not buy this CD just like I did not buy the last.

Great, an album about rape as a metaphor for financial hardship.

I blame the fairies.

Is it me, or do all her songs sound alike.

Same anguished voice over keyboard arpeggios, etc.

Shostie: Is it me, or do all her songs sound alike.

Not to mention that her subject matter is entirely about the life and policies of Raperaham Lincoln.

"The world has changed completely, it seems, in the past two years. The world that we all knew before, could wake up in feeling safe, ... now it seems that everything has been turned upside down," Amos told Reuters in an interview.

what planet has this woman been living on anyway? we've NEVER been 'safe'. we have always been 3 days from food riots in times square. just 3 days of disruption and the food runs out.

sleep well, song lady!

My noise band is composing a song with a chord progression based on the dow jones.

Yeah dude, you know it sucks.

She's not emo.

I think submitter was calling her fans emo.

Ha! "...and they forcibly stick it to me/raising my interest rates into the stratosphere/I remember when we used to be/able to buy without fear..."

What an apt title; "Abnormally Attracted to Sin."

/she's got maybe one decent song
//obviously, I am not a lyricist

Emus?

I remember when Toi was big...i never saw a fan base that worked so hard to stretch that one time that guy that they had sex with didn't call them back into a full on rape.

I liked me some Tori, but her fans were farking retarded.

Gwendolyn: She's not emo.

Given how much her new stuff sucks compared to her old, she's probably the punkest person ever.

/insert Mr Ramones stuff here

"inspired by world financial crisis"

meaning:

"I need money"

any comment that I make her will sound creepy because of her having been raped, so I'll just say that I find Tori to be one of the sexiest women on the planet.

The only thing more frightening than a megachurch fanatic is a Tori Amos fangirl.

She's got some good stuff, but Jesus people take her too goddamned seriously.

Don't forget the strippers who use Amos for 'interpretive dance.' There's at least one in every club.

/ode to the banana queen

Friend of mine worked a show of hers a few years back. Said she was one of the biggest divas he had ever seen. Wouldn't leave the dressing room unless the path to the stage was clear of people, required an actual red carpet to be laid from her dressing room to her piano on stage, and actually had a set requirement of incense sticks to be lit. She had so many people were choking in the hallways. She also acted like a stuck up biatch to everyone around her (assistants, roadies, security). He said he lost all respect for her after that show.

Gwendolyn: She's not emo.

This is the Internet, any song that's ever written that's remotely sad, or isn't about drinking beer and getting laid, is "emo".

/not a Tori fan
//not an emo fan
///sick of alpha-male douchebags who use the word and don't know what it means

Not buying any cd's. I just watched her live for the crotch shots.

The first time I heard Tori Amos was on BAF Radio in Germany. I thought it was Kate Bush.

Would like to see a duets album with Keyboard Cat.

FlyingPig: This is the Internet, any song that's ever written that's remotely sad, or isn't about drinking beer and getting laid, is "emo".

Yeah, once I read someone describe an alt-country artist as "emo," I knew for certain that the concept had been f*cking blown to peices. Country is supposed to be sad. Alt Country is required to be. That ain't emo, it's life.

cleveoh: The first time I heard Tori Amos was on BAF Radio in Germany. I thought it was Kate Bush.

Well...yeah. Tori's spent an entire career trying to be Kate Bush.

And failing.

her fans are female. I guess it's easy to confuse them with emos.


I can't say i dislike Tori, but her weird "Tori the Fae Goddess!" following is just farking weird.

I like when people were calling the new Star Trek movie "emo" because Kirk wears a black shirt in the trailer.

/it's actually emo because Spock keeps having tantrums

I dated a girl who loved Tori and also loved Ani DiFranco, to the point that not only did she own every album by both, but was collecting live shows from both as well.

She was hot, and great in the sack, but as you might have already guessed, she was completely insane.

I like her piano playing, and her vocal lines are good exercises to transcribe to lead guitar to expand your phrasing, but yeah, her music gets a bit old

I sorta-kinda link her music, but dear lord, her super-fanatic fans are so god-awful obnoxious.

I went to a miserable show at this year's SXSW. For starters, the venue was terrible; the ground sloped backwards, so you couldn't see shiat. I could barely see the opener, who was standing, so I knew I was in for trouble for Tori sitting at a piano. I was correct.

Also, side note, standing while tilted on your heels is incredibly uncomfortable.

Tori's set included the unbearable annoyance of the couple in front of me that had some kind of hand-jive-and-clap thing worked out for literally every song. But the worst, WORST part was they couldn't clap on the goddamn beat. Just totally the wrong number of claps per measure. It was SO distracting I wanted to strangle them.

andreirublev: I sorta-kinda link her music

She's purty.

Gwendolyn: She's not emo.

Indeed. She predates emo by a long stretch.

Passionate/sad != Emo.

Don't use the words you don't understand, Subtard.

He said he lost all respect for her after that show.

One of my best friends worked as the assistant head chef of a Radisson Hotel at which she once stayed during the "Earthquakes" era. He told me she had a nigh-unbearable list of demands as to what she was to be served and when she was to be served it. And was exceedingly particular as to the condition of both the food she was served (she apparently sent one order back like 8 or nine times before it was to her liking) and her environs (she had to have the air temperature just so and woe be unto anybody who smoked around her [and she was a smoker at the time].) She reportedly (according to him) was nothing but antagonistic diva-ness personified to everyone but for young, female fans. She'd give them all the time in the world. If you had a Y chromosome and or were over 30, she didn't want to know you.

And he was the antithesis of an alpha-male misogynist tall-tale-telling type, thus lending his communications re:Tori credence.

/i can take or leave her music myself.

She does an AWESOME cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

NS, dude. NS.

Used to be a huge Tori fan, but her music has declined IMHO since Choirgirl. I'd never heard anything about her being a pain to deal with, so it kinda comes as a surprise. But I'll agree with anyone who says a majority of her fans are batshiat insane. ;) Still gonna buy the new album though. If it has two good songs on it, it's worth it to me.

/Male.
//Straight.
///Probably batshiat insane.

shiznatz: "inspired by world financial crisis"

meaning:

"I need money"

TAmos : hi it's tori can you put like 5 thousand in my checking ..?

accountant: no sales equal no money..

TAmos: OMG it's a farking global crisis !!!!

Meh. I did her in the 80s.

/Well, that girl looked like her, anyway.
//The "Courtney Love" circa 1995, however, was probably the real thing.
///Not proud of it.

Oh... Wait... Maybe that was just a confusing dream.

Was a big fan, but it's gotten more bland, and/or my tastes have gotten harder. Probably the latter.

Listening to a lot of Nightwish, Epica, just getting into Within Temptation.

/would still hit it if I had the chance, but I know it'll never happen.

A black shirt?!? Since when did black become an emo color? I get that individual "emo" children may be spotted wearing such attire, but when did Black stop being associated with generally dangerous and cool characters/shiat?

back in black

the black parade.... ahhh shiat Answered it myself.
