Boring
1/5
Blah
Not my music
This was a bit boring. I feel bad to review but i really dont have anything else to say.
sorry not for me
I haven't heard this album. After listening, I've heard Winter and Silent all these years. This sounds like a musical theater. I could never enjoy this. It's for someone else. The affect vocals, the strings. Me and my gun is quite powerful. Tori seems cool in interviews.
Definitely boring— actually bad instrumentation mixed with trite lyrics. The first couple of songs with lines like “crucify myself” are the hackneyed commentary of 90s alternative. The later songs on the record are, like Bryan said, Disney songs without the fun. The best song is White Horses and it sounds like a Joni Mitchell song (but I don’t even really like Joni Mitchell)
I can tell she was giving it her all and I respect her for that but it just didn’t really hit for me
Disney adult music
she sounds like a talented singer but its boring
Meh, softcock
This felt a bit like torture but I guess some people like that.
honestly, i feel like if i listened to this album with an extensive understanding of the background, influences, and conceptual elements of the album i would like it better. However, i did not, and i don't.
I'm not big on Tori Amos
Couldn’t really settle in to this. Just as soon as I started to enjoy an aspect of it, she started up with some weird vocal exercises. Not for me chief.
Unadulterated cr*p!
meh
I got about 4 or 5 songs into this and bailed. If this is one of the 1001 albums I need to hear, I have clearly been doing music all wrong. Bland, unexciting songs, played and recorded in a very obvious way.
If you own a Tori Amos album then you are also statistically likely to own a Queen album.
This was the second time I've heard this album. The first was about 1 1/2 years ago when someone recommended it to me. I didn't like it then. I called it "sad girl with piano" music, a genre I'm not at all into. Listening to it again, the first track (or two?) aren't that bad I guess, but then it just all starts to sound the same. I don't want to listen to this for an hour. She has a fine voice, but for me it's wasted here. Women do seem to love it though, so that's good for them, but I have to give it an honest rating for myself.
Je me suis un peu ennuyé, à part peut-être sur le dernier morceau ...
No
Sick of her piano and voice
Actually valued listening to this in a way because I'm now more sure of where the line is on vocals I think are pushing the boundaries in a good way and those that have no sense of them whatsoever.
No
Never cared for her.

Too moody for me. It was a task to get through.
Not my cup of tea at all unfortunately. Tried to make it to the 3rd song but alas. Singer Songwriter is not looking good for moi
ugg
If I was in middle school in 1992 this would have been my JAM
So..... Tori Amos is literally just a Kate Bush impersonator. It's quite shocking. Except her USP is ripping off the worst songs from Bush's back catalogue. Amos is the living embodiment of the "We have that at home" meme: -------------------- Kid: "Mom, can I have some Kate Bush please?" Mom: "No. We have Kate Bush at home." *** Mom reveals that what she meant by "Kate Bush at home" is Tori Amos' "Little Earthquakes". Disappointed kid. *** -------------------- "Tear in Your Hand" is a semi-decent song, but the rest of this album sucks hard. 👎👎
🤮💤
I legitimately loathed every second of this. Fuck.
This was painful. Certainly the worst album I’ve heard to be put forward on a “best album ever” list.
did not care for this record
Not for me at all
This is the album that a 15-year-old girl would listen to just before she slits her wrists.
Not my jam
Hab ich abbrechen müssen, gar nicht mein Geschmack
It's boring to me, but "in your eyes I saw a future together, but you just look away in the distance" stole my heart somehow.
This sounds like somebody listened to the soundtrack of Reba and decided to make an album mimicking that. This album is the worst parts of 70’s and 90’s music combined. Listening to this is time I will never get back, my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
I am going to be called out sexist or worse but this is the blueprint of girly indie with a trembling but strong voice and cringy display of all sorts of musical aesthetics I really will never tune in liberately. When J. Newsom adds a certain quirkyness I can just hear Amos’ mediocre songs that I cannot relate on any emotional Celine Dionish level. Awful!
My god this is boring
Not a fan of piano echoing vocal pattern style melodies and this is full of them. Feels like she's trying to be Kate Bush minus the interesting lyrics and arrangements. Found absolutely no surprises on this album, sounded exactly how I remember it 25 years ago and it's still tedious to me. Sure it probably gets better with more listens, but doesn't appeal to me at all to want to listen to again.
Wow this was hard to get through.
It all sounded the same, pretty bored
Not gonna lie…I struggled to get through this. I’d never listened to Tori Amos before but with any luck, I won’t have to again.
I know Tori Amos is beloved by many, so I won't be too brutal. Basically, Tori Amos makes music that I don't like. I came to this conclusion after being surrounded by this album ad nauseam beginning 1993 and stretching through 1995 and again today. To each, their own. This is not for me.
Couldn't even make it through the first song
Not a big Tori Amos fan...probably my least favorite of the old Lilithcore artists. 1.5/5
i know the name because of the massive dance track that sampled one of her tracks so i kind of assumed she might be alright. well armand van helden has gone massively up in my estimations to have made such a tune from meagre pickings. this album is shite. it's like a 90s kate bush, and that's not a compliment.
Bad
pathetic shitshow
Absolutely horrible. What even are these lyrics?
Ugh. No.
pretty wack, would not listen again. not my style and not a vibe
I could see how the sort of people who like this music could like this but I would not trust anyone's music taste who likes this music. 'silent all these years' - and indeed the entire album - sounds like the Frozen soundtrack. After looking at the other reviews it seems that the main factor for people liking this is nostalgia, which is fair considering ill listen to 'I'll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)' off the Muppets Most Wanted soundtrack for the nostalgia of it.
ugh. i just couldn't.
Pass
Not for me, whole album was stuck in one gear, very repetitive. Graeme described it as 'boring Kate Bush' and I can't beat that
Stream of consciousness
DNF. Straight Trash
Did not enjoy
Really not fond of this one. 5.9/10
Just sucks
What a snooze. Just generic singing. 2/10.
No
