For the last two years, I’ve kinda hated Tori Amos. Up until then, I loved her. I’d seen her live about 6 times, and loved all of her albums. Until, of course, To Venus and Back and Strange Little Girls. They didn’t work for me. And it made me sad, because I knew Tori could be better.
So when her new record came out last week, I was hesitant. I mean, she wronged me twice in a row, and what about that saying, shame on you/shame on me? Was Tori to make me a sucker three times in a row?
But then I thought about the good ol’ days of me and Tori records, and all of the happiness they brought… I bit the bullet, figuring if it really sucked then I’d sell it back to Used Kids for a buck and be happy.
I bought the record. I LOVE THE RECORD. All is forgiven. You need to own it, too, and rediscover Tori all over again.
