In this episode we talk the debut solo album of Tori Amos, this is a super bold album that paved the way for a ton of artists to come...but what do we think of it?

Yeah this record was kind of brutal. Pretty boring and then really sad and hard to listen to. It’s obviously really good that this exists but it’s not for me. Makes sense that it’s on this list though and glad it connected to and helped people but yeah I don’t want to give it a rating lol.

But I appreciate you pointing out the more meaningful aspects of the album. That said, I'm sure I'd go nuts for someone contemporary like Phoebe Bridgers releasing their version of this.

2024-09-20 02:13:05 +0000 UTCTori Amos was a name I always heard and the only thing I really knew was the music video with Adrian Brody where one of them is an arm with a face and the other is a leg with a face - the visual stuck with me much longer than the music did. Anyway, some serious songs and I can appreciate her honesty and rawness but I’m not huge on the sound. I’m more interested in how she describes how she sees music, I’ll probably check more into interviews and things because synesthesia and synesthesia-adjacent stuff is fascinating. I stand-by how great Groove Is In The Heart is. Excellent use of a Herbie Hancock sample, fun Green Acres sample (of all things!) and Lady Miss Kier is deee-licious and deee-liteful!!!
