"Tori Amos kicks arse in a raw, confessional style. She's vaj-with-teeth (per se). She demonstrates what is beautiful and strong and vulnerable about women. "God" is the best track off of this album. ("God sometimes you just don't come through.") She's not as impenetrably raw as Kate Bush. She doe..." [+] Reply

"Incredible energy displayed. This album is full of angst and frustration boiling almost to the point of desperation to be heard. Excellent album." Reply

"I'm glad to see that this album gets at least a little love on this site. I thought it might be down there in obscurity with Daniel Lanois' albums.

""mechanical animals" was marilyn manson's "david bowie album" and probably lost him a few metal fans because of it. But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, bu..." [+] Reply

"If I could only choose one Dinosaur Jr album for the rest of my life, it'd probably be Where you Been. One of the best hard rock albums of all time IMNSHO. :lol: It's more richly produced than his other albums & is embellished with strings & instruments Phil Spector-style, but I think that only g..."
