Tori Amos- The Bee Keeper
 

Anyone else pick this up, I've not heard a full album of hers since Little Earthquakes but this is very much in that style, very smooth and sonicly pleasing, I dig it.

I also picked this up and like it. Of course, I've liked all of her stuff ever since Mrs. Eaglesfan turned me onto her.

She's the one artist that I probably don't like despite all the indicators that I would. I'm a huge fan of PJ Harvey, Bjork, and Aimee Mann and I've found a gigantic overlap in fan bases. But despite giving her more than her share of listens, Tori inspires nothing in me.

Not saying I dislike her actual music, just saying that despite trying to like it... i just don't. Bright Eyes also falls into that category.

She's slowly slipped in my eyes since Choirgirl Hotel. Nothing will beat her first two, and Pele was a mess, but Choirgirl is great. And although I own them all, I've hardly listened to the last few. Beekeeper is way too adult contemporary for my tastes. I'm sure she wouldn't have been able to sustain withouta band, but once she added the band and went conventional, she lost me for the most part.

I agree her first two albums are fantastic. She lost me after that for the most part, but I did quite enjoy "Strange Little Girls" especially the cover of "Real Men." She just did an amazing job turning that song on its head.
