Abnormally Attracted To Sin by Tori Amos (CD, May-2009, Universal Republic)

i personally prefer tori's other work, apart from a couple of songs on this cd.I shouldn't complain sinn of hers

I like all of the songs pretty well. I have been a fan of Tori Amos since 1993 so, I decided to get the most recent CD to add to my collection.

I would like to start out by saying that I am an adoring Tori fan. This album mostly missed the mark for me. I feel like it's missing something. I respect Tori for taking the road less traveled (always) but the songs seem empty this time. I feel like her heart isn't in the words or in her voice. There are a couple of songs that I enjoy, but I don't feel them like I did in many previous releases. I just feel kind of disappointed here.

Tori Amos began her career as a Kate Bush clone but has outshone even Bush in her range and reliable excellence. Amos has the imagination of ten Kate Bush clones and brings her own lovely rendition of all things 'fairy' over and over again.

The artwork is wonderful. The music is average Tori. I personally think that this has some really great songs but it doesn't break any new ground and as a whole does not stand out from her other albums. I think many fans will be tempted to give it a listen and then shelf it. Mary Jane is probably the stand out track. I need to spin this a few more times but I think that it's my favorite song here. Over all, 4 Stars.
