Pros: Great songs! Great lyrics! Best ever Cons: It costs money. It should be distributed free so everyone could have it.
I bow down and Tori's feet and pray every day for another CD to be released from this goddess! I would have her children! Wait, I'm getting carried away. But you'd understand if you went out right now and bought this CD and popped it in the CD player...

Pros: Great lyrics, great music, good variety of sound. Cons: None that I can think of.
From The Choirgirl Hotel was Tori Amos's first album done with a full backing band, and, like almost everything she does, she managed to get a familiar sound out of a new style. This was the last Tori album I bought (after Venus, Earthquakes, Pink, and...

Pros: Brilliant musicianship, wonderful, sometimes poignant lyrics....what's not to love? Cons: A couple of "above average" songs interrupt the brilliant ones
In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe. --Tori Amos ...

Pros: Dreamy blend of Tori's voice, poetry, piano, and electronic instruments. Cons: Some tracks are hard to understand.
It is not easy to classify Tori Amos and just when critics alike were starting to perhaps come to a conclusion – she throws in their face From The Choirgirl Hotel. Like Madonna, Tori has reinvented herself – but she still holds on to various...

Pros: everything. Cons: tori? never.
This may well be the musical peak of her career. Tori Amos is an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter. She is the Bob Dylan of Baroque. And "From the Choirgirl Hotel" puts her back in front of the music industry.
The album's...

Pros: Pretty much everything, really. Cons: Occasionally silly lyrics; "Liquid Diamonds" is slightly weaker than the rest.
Tori Amos is more than a slight anomaly. The mere mention of her name tends to bring out strong reactions in people. Whenever I've brought up her name in the midst of a discussion, the person I've been talking to has reacted either by positively ...

Pros: A new sound at times but still classic Tori Cons: Sometimes the piano is drowned out
A new sound emanates from Tori Amos’ album "from the choirgirl hotel". The virtuoso’s fourth album and follow-up to 1996’s platinum Boys for Pele, carries a rocky, percussion-heavy quality. Tori decided to give the piano a back seat in the...

Pros: Beautiful Songs, Excellent Vocals, Powerful Lyrics. Cons: Zero.
Tori Amos made a name for herself with the release of three amazing albums, all which are individual masterpieces, came back to release 1998's "From the Choirgirl Hotel". This is one of the few albums I have found that can soothe my nerves...

Pros: Emotionally open and beautiful music Cons: Lyrics a bit explicit
Extraordinary solo artist and piano soloist, Tori Amos, has yet made another immense impact on society. After buying "From the Choir Girl Hotel," I had to go back to the music store, even with my low budget, and get "Little...

Pros: --------- Cons: -------
It's amazing what loss can do. From The Choirgirl Hotel is Tori Amos's fourth album. This, in my opinion, is one of her best works to date. These are my favorite tracks (They change every day):
Spark- "Spark" is about loss, in Tori's case it's...

Pros: Fantastic production, crushing lyrics, emotional vocals Cons: None, unless you dislike Amos for some reason (freak!)
By the time "From the Choirgirl Hotel" had been released, Tori was in quite a strange place in her life. "Boys For Pele" had initially been met by success, but that was quickly followed by complete confusion as to what the hell she was singing about. She ...

Pros: Most accessible Tori Amos album ... high level of emotion Cons: None
First of all, I'd like to point out that not every Tori Amos fan is 1) female or 2) younger than 30. I'm in my 40s, male, and Tori is the one artist in world I feel closest to. Something about her music touches me in a deep way -- even when I don't...

Pros: Cohesive, unique style of songs Cons: What cons? Tori is a demi-Goddess!
What starts with a Spark ends in New York somewhere, album is an understatement when from the Choirgirl Hotel truly is a journey through sound. The album is dark, strong, and powerful. Spark is the first song, it's lyrics have a positive messages... you...

Pros: New sound and style, addition of a band Cons: Very different from previous 3 albums
Being a fan of Tori Amos's for two years, I ran out and bought this album the day it was released. It was very different from her previous three
albums, but did not disappoint me. As with Boys for Pele, I had to listen
to this album a few...

Pros: excellent vocals; complex electronics; impressive piano playing; poignant lyrics; intense Cons: what is you talking about you muthaf*ckin fool?
Some of you know that I was starting to get interested in Myra Ellen Amos (Tori's real name) and that I picked up her latest album (her collection aside), Scarlet's Walk, and I was pretty impressed. So on Monday I asked my parents to take me to ...
