Tori's Best Yet!

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2005
Review: Tori Amos has come to a point in her life in which life is pretty good. Those who can't relate won't relate. For those open-minded enough to understand, this cd is a treat. In my opinion, The Beekeeper is Tori's best yet. Yes, the sound is much more...

Honey Flavored Bliss (Tori III of III)

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: She did it. Tori Amos finally got better instead of worse since her last album. A lot better. Check it out!
Review: Part of a three-part series entitled "The Perfect Tori Record"

Again, I'm playing the mad scientist and mangling Tori's last three original albums, reordering them, leaving out roughly half the tracks that I don't like, and making a double...

Amos Goes Full on Mainstream With Positive Results

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: "The Beekeeper" takes Tori Amos absolute leaps further towards mainstream music making without abandoning her penchant for experementality; it is a great listen.
Review: Tori Amos' "The Beekeeper" is an album rife with expectations. Arguably her biggest years of succses were 1991 (in the U.K.) and 1997 (in the United States.) Her debut album "Little Earthquakes," with it's quirtky and deeply personal lyrics, struck...

Disappointment

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2005
Review: What happened to the metaphors that took deciphering to figure out what the song was even about? Not one song takes even a little bit of brain power. This album is mainstream and too "easy" on the brain. I will continue to be a fan, going to every...

Pele, the Apiary Tender // A Review of "The Beekeeper" by Tori Amos

Date of Review:  May 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: An Album that redefines the term 'Masterpiece', this CD is one that everyone needs in their collection. Brilliant.
Review: Tori Amos has chosen the most perfect song to open her album "The Beekeeper". Entitled 'Parasol', it sets the tone for one of the most well-produced and beautifully delivered albums of the decade. As she whispers "When I come to terms with this, my...

The Tori Code

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Tori's trying too hard to make the perfect record = her weakest material ever.
Review: When I first heard that Tori Amos was incorporating gospel choirs into her new record, The Beekeeper, I assumed she would lay off the incessant over-layering of her own vocals. Apparently, she just loves it too much. Layer upon layer of her own...
