Hell hath no fury like a girl who accidentally spilled orange juice on Little Earthquakes

by blindsider blindsider is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 09 '08
Pros: The piano, beautiful. The voice, hair-raising. The words, ingenious.
Cons: Rumor has it that unrestrained, vividly expressed feelings aren't always easy to listen to.
Tori Amos was one of those artists I always imagined myself getting into eventually, but I never took the time to work at it. See, I'm a big procrastinator, and involving myself deeply into music is a process -- unfortunately, I ...

Little Earthquakes: Soul-Shaking Intensity

by nayad , Sep 18 '00
Pros: Every song is good!

Wielding words like swords and slashing at her past, Tori Amos sings through a range of emotions: anger, guilt, fear, defiance, pain, regret, and isolation. This is not a happy album, but with her beautiful voice, Tori builds to a kind of transcendence....

Tori Amos is one of the most revered artists of the past decade. But it took me a while before I got into her. I always liked her voice. But I never really listened that closely to her music or the words to her songs until one day when I heard "Crucify"....

She plays what she feels.

by kelphoeb , Oct 13 '01
Pros: amazing lyrics and sound
Cons: older album
Tori Amos is a woman who writes and plays from her heart. Since she is the writer of all of the songs on the Little Earthquakes album you know that each lyric means something from her life. The lyrics are so deep it takes time to realize what she is...

Tori's debut

by raisiny , Aug 07 '02
Pros: Best lyrical Tori
Cons: Some weak tracks
A lot of people are biased to say that this is automatically their favourite Tori album, b/c it's her first released album and all. I, however, disagree.
Now, granted, I do agree that this is her most emotional album effort. The lyrics in every song...

Tori Amos -- Voice of a siren

by emmwisdombus , Oct 11 '01
Pros: Vibrant album that is unlike anything else

Tori Amos' album, Little Earthquakes, is unlike any other album. This album is full of raw emotion, beautiful instrumentals, and Tori Amos proves that she has the voice of a siren.

Songs such as "Winter" and "China" portray images in your head...

by lunarloki , Oct 23 '00
Pros: leaves the ears singing along, especially the ones with feet
Cons: NONE!
This album is one of my favorite Tori albums. Right up there with Under the Pink and Boys for Pele. It's an outpouring of her personal soul as she considers most of the songs directly from her personal experiences. Most noted is "Me and a...

Crank it up, And sing your heart out!

by genevieve_rose , Apr 06 '01
Pros: diversity, strength, emotion, pain, reality, MUSICIANSHIP!
Cons: she's so damn good, it makes me jealous!
Personally, as a vocalist myself, this is the best collection of diverse, vocally challenging, and emotionally stirring songs I have ever come across. Each song addresses either a pure emotion or a current issue that isn't easy to talk about. But Tori...

I bought this CD years ago mainly for the purpose of choosing 'Winter' as a lyrical song for figure skating...but it became much more to me. It became the very beginning of a 'relationship' I would develope with Tori Amos. Now, there is never a day...

Tori Amos- Little Earthquakes

by -moey- , May 09 '01
Pros: Great lyrics, voice, and piano
Cons: (?) A bit mellow at times, I suppose, but that's kind of the point.
This album was given to me as a gift by someone who is a huge fan of Tori Amos. I had never heard any of her music before, as she gets surprisingly little radio air play. Tori Amos has a rather rabid cult-esque group of loyal followers, and after a fair...

Pros: Every song on the album is GREAT!
Cons: The fact that you don't already own it!
This is Tori Amos's first "successful" album. This is also her best album to date. The music is harmonuous, seductive, and inspiring. Each song is written about parts of her life. This is a great album to listen to in a bubble bath with lit candles and a glass of wine. There is no Best song as they are all great! Tori Amos is a Musical Fairy Goddess.
