Customer Reviews

A best of
It's hard not to like a "Best of, Remixed." There were some I wish had made the cut, some I wish had not. All-in-all I spin this one pretty often.

A Good Compilation
I thought that this was a great compilation album to her previous records. The songs were well selected for the album. It does a great job at spanning her career as an artist. I would recommend this album for those that would like to get to know Tori as an artist a bit better before going and buying her other albums. Generally, I found this album to be well worth listening to.

Good Starting Point For A New Tori Amos Listener
I saw a couple of Tori's CD's at a Wal-Mart, enough to spark up curiosity. My first exposure to her music was her live Video of a benefit concert. This actually bored me, but I decided to give her a second chance and listen to this project. I'm glad I did.

For those who have not seen my profile or my other reviews, I am coming from the perspective of a songwriter and of an ordained minister (Fundamentalist). I was not able to follow her lyrics and can tell she has religious and philosophical themes, but am not sure if they are compatible, different, or antagonistic to mine. "Crucify" does seem to speak about dealing with shame, for example; I'm one that believes shame is useful if based on a specific action with a specific resolution, and harmful if not accompanied with reason or resolution. I'm not sure if she is dealing with harmful shame, or condemning shame across the board.

Tori Amos is very creative, and the packaging of this project is exhibit A. She has a listing of the Dewey Decimal System, and then catalogs her songs according to the subject.

Overall, I enjoy her sound. I don't know how to label her music, and I consider that a good thing. Another reviewer said that a greatest hits compilation is not always the best intro for a new listener, but said that this is an exception, and I agree 100%.
