Preview The New Tori Amos Album
 

You can now listen to the whole album at www.myspace.com/toriamos

I am actually lovin' the American Doll Posse. Tis very Boys For Bele/Choirgirl era style in some parts but very Little Earthquakes on some of her piano songs. I really like Big Wheel, Teenage Hustling and Fat Slut at the moment.

You are a little behind the times - the whole album was leaked over a week ago!!!

I don't do leaks. I'd rather wait. Being on myspace makes it legal.

edit: I just realised, we do it all the time with Stevie demo's lol.

Ah well nevermind. what does everyone think of ADP anyway?

Well, that makes two of us. I have downloaded it, but I havn't listened to anything but "Bouncing off Clouds" and "Big Wheel" - I will wait to get the actual album. The response from fans is positive though :cool:

Yeh the album is very pele-esque. Very pleased with it. vast improvement from The Beekeeper. I wasn't sure about the whole multiple characters but it works really well. Doesn't beat Choirgirl though (my personal fav)

This is good news. To me though, nothing she has done or will every do will beat "Scarlet's Walk" - it is one of the most sonically beautiful albums I have ever heard...

I like SW but it was a tad boring IMO. I like Choirgirl cause it's so lively and really emotional at the same time. I love the Pink to Venus era (1994-2000) she was so alive during this time. Seem's she has mellowed down since but ADP seems like a strong return. I love pissed off Tori (She's Your Cocaine, Fat Slut, Precious Things, Raspberry Swirl) most but jolly Tori (Happy Phantom) is pretty amazing too.

I thought the sameabout SW, until I sat down and really listened to it - its stunning. "The Beekeeper" and "To Venus.." are my least favourite albums, she just sounds totally uninterested - "Strange Little Girls" isn't that great either, but atleast it was somewhat interesting...

OH. MY. GOD. I love TVAB!! Mostly for the live CD but I like the album too. My top albums are:

1. From The Choirgirl Hotel
2. Under The Pink
3. To Venus And Back
4. Boys For Pele
5. Scarlets Walk
6. Little Earthquakes
7. The Beekeeper
8. Strange Little Girls

When I actually sit down and listen to it, ADP will probably come somewhere around Pele or Venus area.

Nice!

What I love about Tori is that most of her fans have an enitrely different idea about what her best album is - I have yet to talk to anybody that agrees with my view:

1. Scarlet's Walk
2. Under the Pink
3. From the Choir Girl Hotel
4. Little Eartquakes
5. Boys for Pele
6. Strange Little Girls
7. To Venus & Back
8. The Beekeeper

I can't believe you have TVAB that low...or SW that high. I also think LE needs to be lower. Everyone seems to totally love LE and I don't think it's as good as everyone makes out. The Beekeeper I don't own but have heard. I can live without it quite easily. Do you like Bjork?

Should I rearrange my list to suit you? :p

Yep, I love Bjork - from what I have heard so far, the new album should be cracker :cool:

I only have one Bjork album. Everyone raves about Debut but I don't like it. At all. I like "Post" and never bothered with any of her other stuff.

'Post' is def. her best. 'Vespertine' is damn good as well. Im not mad about her, I can love her or leave her...

I will bare that in mind next time I am out shopping. I love "Army Of Me" and "You've Been Flirting Again". Does 'Vespertine' have "All Is Full Of Love" on it? Apart from that album I have, "Human Behavior", "Play Dead" and "All Is Full Of Love" are the only tracks I know.

No, "All is Full of Love" is on 'Homogenic' - which is another good album. Alternatively, you could get her greatest hits...

Quite nice, thanx for posting the link.

Actually, I think I like all her albums equally but I adore Pele and LE.

I also heard today that she will play in Athens , Greece, on 18th of July. It's not confirmed on her website but I do hope it's true!!

I am seeing her at Manchester, UK on July 5th this year. I can't wait. Never seen her live before

I'm bringing this up again because I just got the album and I 'm totally loving it!
I am mostly fond of her oldest and perhaps darker stuff, and I don't care so much for the 5 characters concept, nor am I so interested in political lyrics in general, so I didn't expect to like ADP so much but it really is a great comeback.

At the moment the songs I like the most are Code Red, Bouncing off Clouds (duh), Beauty of Speed, Almost Rosey, Mr Bad Man and Programmable Soda (ok, it's not Mr. Zebra, but still nice).
However, the song I instantly fell in love with is Dragon. Wow.

You'll love this then, too: http://www.ps22chorus.blogspot.com/

Scroll down a bit to the YouTube link titled: "The PS22 Chorus make Tori cry!!"

OMG, this is beautiful !! Thank you so much!

I'm crying so hard. how moving. I love Tori. thanks for posting that C.

I've put off listening to ADP so that I can dive into it on my trip to LA next weekend, but I've previewed most of it and I like it. LE will always be my favorite, but SW is right behind.

I saw her live in Orlando...must've been in 2003/2004 I think...what a great show. i was surprised.

did anyone catch her on Letterman or Regis and Kelly? it's up on YouTube and I have to agree with what some folks are saying...something looks strange about her...can't put my finger on it.

by the way, I'm in LOVE with You Can Bring Your Dog. lol. don't ask why. I was trying to hold off from listening until this weekend on my LA trip, but I gave in yesterday and listened. Almost Rosey is quite good too.

I kind of liked the concept of SW but the concept of ADP is kind of silly so I just disregard it and enjoy the great songs, some of her best IMO and a real surprise after The Beekeeper .I thought she might have lost it .I'm happy to have been proven wrong.

REALLY? WOW! I wasn't too taken with either of those. Choirgirl is my fav Tori album, closely followed by Under The Pink and To Venus And Back.

Tour opening night in Rome last night! (In case you haven't seen it elsewhere...) Not really spoilers, since every night will be a different setlist, and open with a different Posse girl. But I'll stick it in the spoiler code anyway, just in case.

Spoiler:

SANTA opened the tour. Tori used the Bosey, Hammond organ, and 2 keyboards. There IS a guitarist for the first set of songs.
