The artwork is wonderful. The music is average Tori. I personally think that this has some really great songs but it doesn't break any new ground and as a whole does not stand out from her other albums. I think many fans will be tempted to give it a listen and then shelf it. Mary Jane is probably the stand out track. I need to spin this a few more times but I think that it's my favorite song here. Over all, 4 Stars.
I love Tori Amos in general and this is a wonderful cd to add to your collection. Still has her, sassy and wild but vulnerable thing going on that we all love.

I would like to start out by saying that I am an adoring Tori fan. This album mostly missed the mark for me. I feel like it's missing something. I respect Tori for taking the road less traveled (always) but the songs seem empty this time. I feel like her heart isn't in the words or in her voice. There are a couple of songs that I enjoy, but I don't feel them like I did in many previous releases. I just feel kind of disappointed here.
Love Fast Horse, Starling, Abnormally Attracted to Sin and Police Me. Visuallettes vary from awesome to boring. Packaging and pics are stunning. MUST for Tori collectors. Not Dying Today-not playing again. Not enough piano in my opinion, a little too much guitar. Still good though.
Tori Amos began her career as a Kate Bush clone but has outshone even Bush in her range and reliable excellence. Amos has the imagination of ten Kate Bush clones and brings her own lovely rendition of all things 'fairy' over and over again.
