Female singer songwriters seem to be under appreciated on this site. This album deserves to be in the top 100. This is by far her best work with her best songwriting, lyrics, and piano playing. The whole album flows beautifully. Highlights being Winter, Mother, and Girl

My fav Amos record.

Great album with honest and heartfelt songs. Tori is cool.

What an aptly titled album. The power to move the earth camouflaged behind lace and one of the prettiest face and voice of the music world. Overnight Tori Amos filled the niche left open by Kate Bush now more preoccupied with leading a normal life. When the Yardbirds broke up they left Jimmy Page with a series of tour dates and contractual obligations that gave us the best rock band ever. This is another moment in music history when we are glad that a band came apart and left Tori with studio time and the liberty to produce that earth moving album.

I guess it's due to the fact that I'm Asian that I liked this album so much. Tori's voice has more bits and turns than Kate Bush, delivering a more emotional singing which we Asian ppl'd like to call "meticulous". It's not an album for everyone (actually no album is) and might not sound as "exciting" as Kate's work, but I appreciate its detailed and meticulous touch.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Man, this hurts. Now Linkin Park is forty places above this.

yep, for me this is the best female grunge album (although i haven't heard jagged little pill in full) even if that is stretching the boundaries of the genre a bit. silent all these years and crucify are the stand-out tracks and as a fellow pianist, i admire her sweeping playing style

Winter, is just breath-taking! I can't describe it, it seems to take you on a journey

This is alright. A couple very good cocktail lounge tracks in Leather, Crucify and Happy Phantom.
