Another worthy addition missed by the original list. Amos has a fantastic voice, it's just the occasional song that serves up whiplash so hard that takes away from the record as a whole, in my opinion. "Cornflake Girl" to "Space Dog" is just hit after hit after hit after hit. Love the huge focal point on piano, too. Adds an epicness. Favorite tracks: "Cornflake Girl", "Cloud On My Tongue", "Past The Mission"

I say this as someone who never particularly connected with Tori Amos, but I really liked this one. It's so much better than the Tori album we got on the original list, possibly her best. Musically elegant, creative and idiosyncratic without ever feeling overwrought. Flashes of brilliance throughout. Apropos of nothing, I think my new motto is "I believe in peace, bitch." Amazing. Fave Songs: God, Cornflake Girl, The Waitress, Bells for Her, Past the Mission, Icicle

She's pretty weird, and some of her songs border on inane (Icicle, Icicle, where are you going?) but I like Tori Amos a lot, especially her first couple of albums. 4 stars.

I love her first album (we're not counting Y Kant Tori Read, c'mon, it was the '80s) and this one is even better.

Little Earthquakes is already on the main list, and personally I prefer that album, but I thoroughly enjoyed Under the Pink as well.

Nice album with (over)emotional pop songs. I like Little Earthquakes better. On this album the voice acrobatics tend to irritate me slightly.

I've always thought Tori Amos had a very "Disney" voice, so that's not the reason she's for me. However, she has a very well-tuned voice, with a good level of interpretation... but that's all.

This was a very generic and bland female lead pop album and it really had nothing noteworthy to mention. To me this was an album that if you were younger when it came out it may have resonated with you but now it’s really nothing special. 3.9/10

My rating here is more a reflection of personal taste than anything objective. Amos has a great voice and hits some amazing highs on this LP, but at the end of the day it’s another vocal-driven album with not much to show instrumentally. You could write and deliver the most striking lyrics in the world, but at the end of the day it’s just noise without a beautiful melody to back it up.

Cantautora con piano. Me ha aburrido un tanto. Un 2.
