I can't waaaait until I have enough cash to buy this. I have a sneaking suspicion that, at least here, I might be alone in that feeling. Either way, it's going on my Christmas list.

A random review from Amazon:
I was at a friend's house and she started playing this CD, knowing full well that I hate Tori. After a few minutes, the music got so bad that I had the runs and went to the bathroom once every half hour. This CD has all her music from all her albums, and each one of them is terrible. Bad piano playing, random song structure, and no dance beats. The DVD had these really scary videos and I had to stop midway because I was getting really freaked out. I don't know why so many people love Tori. Kylie is so much better. Speaking of Kylie, she's coming out with a NEW album in 2004. Hold on to your cash and get her album instead.


Her music is so powerful is gives people "the runs". WOW. But no dance beats? What is this world coming to? Who needs actual musical ability when you can have looping synthesizer beats? I swear to God, if I hear one more piece of actual music, I'm going to go postal. I don't want lyrical content. I want videos with T&A, so that I don't have to pay attention to the "MUSIC". Go pray at the alter of Kylie Minogue. She just got a new boob job, dude.

What SomethingAwful had to say about it:
Ever wanted to listen to a woman whine about being raped for an hour? Let me save you some money by letting you in on a little secret: lots of support groups are free! Actually, that was pretty cold, not all of Tori Amos’s songs are about being raped. Some of them are about having a miscarriage. Either way, this best-of collection is sure to be grabbed up by thousands of brooding teenage girls and their pussywhipped boyfriends.


"brooding teenage girls" - well, I fit into that category, so I feel obligated to go out and buy this puppy :grin

Come on - if you have something to say, out with it. If I was a guy you'd be arguing with me. :p

I didn't think many people here would like Tori Amos. I thought there might be just one fan somewhere, though, since people here don't appear to be as metal-orientated as at TGC.

"Actually, that was pretty cold, not all of Tori Amos’s songs are about being raped. Some of them are about having a miscarriage."

Sounds like interesting music.

I mean, interesting if you like to listen to songs about being raped.

The songs are about Tori's experiences, Kas, but the lyrics aren't "I was raped, oh I was raped". It just so happens that SomethingAwful is a satire site and picked up on perhaps the worst experience in Tori's life. It's good music. I'd suggest having a listen to a few tracks before knocking it/her. :)
