So the moment I've been dreading, the new Tori Amos album leaked in full. After listening to it, it was much more pleasant than I expected- however- that doesn't mean it's anything great. It's still got plenty of duds, but at least its short (in Tori terms) and only 58 minutes. Without that extra 20 minutes of fat on top, it feels more concise and focused, and that makes for a much, much more pleasant and less grating listen.

I don't wanna go soft on this album, I know that she is capable of so much more- well maybe not anymore- but it is the most enjoyable listen since 2003 for me- which is saying quite a bit. SO yeah, initial thoughts are "It's OK" rather than "Is this really Tori Amos?", a step up I'd say.
