Tori Amos - Abnormally Attracted To Sin - NEW ALBUM
 

http://undented.com/news/1571/tori-s...title-revealed

Oh. my. GOD. I am so psyched! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

I actually cannot wait. It's been far too long since "American Doll Posse" although i still love it every bit as much as I did when I first played it.

Tori never fails to disappoint. I am so much more excited about this than I am the mac tour.

woooooo! :blob2:

Uh The Beekeeper?:shrug:I agree with the second sentence though.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a HUGE Tori fan before I discovered Stevie!

I'll probably be at her SXSW show- there are several acts playing before that I wanna see. Since I've never seen Tori, I might as well stick around.

Seeing Miss T live is an absolute must, at least once. So dooo it.

I've been to see her on every tour since the Dew Drop Inn in '96.

Love Tori. I started playing the piano because of her. The only albums I was really disappointed by were Strange Little Girls and The Beekeeper. I've seen her live twice and she was just amazing.

Beekeeper wasn't as strong as many of her previous efforts, but it had its moments.

I might just be smitten because she referenced Yaldaboath, but I also found that many of the Beekeeper songs didn't really soar for me until I heard her do them live.

Which tours did you see her on, GypsyGirl?

^^^

I saw her during the Original Sinsuality Tour 2005 and American Doll Posse Tour in 2007.

Must say I liked the live versions of most Beekeeper songs better than the studio versions too.

She really is a show everyone should see. So super-talented. I've seen every tour since Choirgirl, but I have to admit I've kind of faded out on it as she went one direction in life and I went another.

So cool to see other Ears with Feet here. I love Tori as much as I love FM, just in a different way.

This is exactly the way I feel about Tori. I still really enjoy her old music, but her recent stuff just doesn't really do it for me.

Well, IMO, Tori can do no wrong. She's never let me down yet. I love all of her albums EQUALLY! They all have there place in the collection. I've seen her on the Scarlet's Walk, Original Sinsuality and American Doll Posse tours. With Tori, it's a different kind of fandom than it is with the mac or Stevie. I can't really explain it. Tori albums are more than just CD's - they're friends. I know it sounds bizarre but it's how it is.

What's with all "The Beekeeper" slating?
As I said before, I love all of Tori's albums equally and feel a Tori CD collection without TBK or SLG is not a collection at all. I agree, both SLG and TBK were not as strong as the rest of the collection but they have some amazing songs on both. Tori has never done a bad album as far as I'm concerned and never possibly could in my eyes.

MORE EXCITEMENT:

Hints at a world tour have been given. :thumbsup:

^^^^

I think the issue some people might have with The Beekeeper is just because she changed direction a bit again. It's a much more "mothery" album, more low key (er...low key for Miss T, which is not the same thing as low key for the rest of the planet).

I remember waiting breathlessly to get my paws on Choirgirl and then getting it home and into the CD player and going, "Whaaaaat?" because she changed direction with that one and I wasn't expecting it. It took a couple listens for me to get what she was doing, and then I LOVED it.

Beekeeper took a few listens, too, but now I appreciate it for what it is - I don't love it like I ended up loving Choirgirl but that's okay. Ain't no Little Earthquakes, Pink, or Pele, but honestly, what COULD be?

I do find many of what I consider to be her less strong songs on albums take on a whole new force when she does them live. For example, I can do without the studio version of "Snow Cherries from France," but when she did that live on the Original Sinsuality tour, I was like, "Okay, that completely rocks my socks."

Definitely looking forward to the new album, and a little bird tells me you are correct 'bout that there tour, young lady. Also, I know what you mean about your Miss T fandom being different from your Stevie or Mac fandom. :nod: Entirely different animals.

IMO, listening to a Tori album is like getting to know a person. You have to get to know and understand eachother. They're not just albums - they're like friends. And you are always gonna have some friends that you don't always see eye to eye with and you are always gonna have your absolute best friends. Me and TBK don't always see eye to eye but we do get on. Strange philosophy but it's how i see it :P

One key difference IMO is that Tori actually plays to her hardcore fanbase and nurtures her cult ..Fleetwood Mac and La Nicks seem far more interested in pleasing the casual fan /nostalgic boomer audience.

This is a sentiment I totally agree with! Tori really is an incredible live act, I've seen a few of her tours also and I love the way she mixes things up and avoids churning out the same tried and tested material. :rolleyes: Her on-stage banter is great too!

Oh, and TBK and SLG definately have their great moments. I respect Tori for experimenting even although she hit on a winning formula very early on in her career. I think she's probably one of the wittiest lyricists in music. Ever.

Oh, yeah, that's absolutely true. Tori is much more personally involved with the fans than I think it would ever even occur to the Mac to be. She will play those "obscure" songs that are fan favorites (whereas we can all hold our breaths til we die for SOTM live and still not hear it, methinks), and if you make it to the venue in time, you'll often be able to go say hi to her before the show and she'll actually spend a few minutes with each person that made it to the meet & greet area, she'll take song requests and do them, etc.

She seems like she very much understands how important her music is to us and makes it a point to connect on some kind of personal level as much as she can. I appreciate that about her.

For sure, lol. At a show on the Choirgirl tour, she had a little yellow Volkswagon Beetle toy up on her piano that she'd periodically push back and forth between songs, and at one point turned and looked directly at my friend John, who was very tall and had very crazy hair, easy to spot out, and sang a little song at him, calling him Obi Wan and asking would he buy her a real Beetle.

I thought he was going to faint. :lol:

I once read in a local, hipster newspaper that Tori's music sounds like it should be played in tampon commercials..........

:sorry:

Sounds like the hipsters in Seattle are just as annoying as the ones in San Francisco.:rolleyes:

I'd be curious to know which songs they feel would make for a good tampon commercial...

I somehow doubt Tori would approve, though (warning, contains language):



As an aside, I just spent 5 minutes typing out bastardized versions of Tori lyrics that could work as tampon commercial slogans, but decided to delete them, for they were completely uncouth, and I would prefer you all not know exactly how demented I am at 5 AM when I haven't slept yet.

Tori is cool... and kinda cute :shrug:

I'm a Tori fan - and I actually liked the Beekeeper album - maybe because I had recently lost my mom so that "motherly" kind of feel to the songs resonated with me - I thought the concert was awesome - I was seated in the upper-center mezz alcove of the opera house in San Francisco with the hive light-show floating all around me during her performance of the title song - the effect was personally stunning! I remember she started the show late because she was calming her daughter before she was sent off to bed - and once on stage Tori was of course Tori and totally with us. I like how Tori has the luxury and ability to switch her song sets around which is a lot easier to do with a one-woman band than a huge stage-organization like Fleetwood Mac! I'm looking forward to more Tori!

OMG, I think I just found the quote of the day!!! Thanks for that. :laugh:

IMO, that's bollocks!
Even with the band, Tori shakes up her setlists every night. Each night has a different setlist to the one before it. Even on Plugged, To Dallas And Back, Scarlet's Walk and American Doll Posse with the band all had kick arse setlists that were all over the place. The Mac could totally shake up the set every night but they won't. I think Lindsey would like to - but Stevie certainly won't. I mean, look at the opening night for Scarlet's Walk:

Oh this is too funny! I'm a huge Tori fan and where do I find the title to her new album? On The Ledge!! I'm always in eager anticipation of the next new Tori record. I love them all differently, with actually TBK being one of my favs. It is definitely a lighter, different sound for her but I find her voice and the harmonizing she does so beautiful. As far as her concerts go, I have seen her several times and I think she's an incredibly talented live performer. The fact that she does a different set list every night just blows me away. (A certain band I know should take some lessons from her!) The shows from her last tour were simply wonderful. I do hope her new record is shorter than her last 3. They're all great records but ADP in particular runs way too long.

It's 17 tracks. Each track will be accompanied by a "visualette" (sort of an audio/visual) thing. She's previewing tracks from the new album at Universal's SXSW showcase later this month.

Well, we are VERY similar cities.............

:lol:

:xoxo:

and in honour of the new album...i have a new Tori related sig.
Yes, I know it's "The Beekeeper" but I don't care. I'll update it as soon as we get a release date.

I love the new sig! I always thought that photo shoot you used should have been the cover for The BK. I love the album but despise that awful, awful cover!

I agree. I love the artwork for "The Beekeeper" but the cover was awful. I always thought the pic on the cover would've been better on the back. On the Tori forum, a few people have had attempts at making an alternative TBK cover using the rest of the album artwork and some of them are fantastic

Glad to see some Tori fans here...I'm pretty pumped for this album! Not too much longer.

I thought Fleetwood Mac fans were crazy before I saw what Tori fans were all about...haha. And I mean that in the nicest way possible!
