alittleparty 2,282 Posted September 29, 2021 Have to agree. If the piano and vocals were way up front in the mix it would make all the difference, instead of burying them in layers of soft rock. She needs to dictate the timing, pauses, breathing, and drama with her instrument and voice. That's her superpower. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expandableclitoris 9,091 Posted September 30, 2021 not that anyone cares but ADP is my fav album after the noTORIous Scarlets Walk. Dragon, Beauty of Speed, Digital Ghost, Code Red, Bouncing off Clouds... yeah some of my favorite songs are in it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingertips 72,043 Posted September 30, 2021 I'm trying to get more into Tori's music. I loved Little Earthquakes. What are your top three Tori albums? 3 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alittleparty 2,282 Posted September 30, 2021 Agree - Boys For Pele is the masterpiece. You could go into that one and not come out for years. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are your top three Tori albums? the first three, as others have mentioned, are perfection. If you’re an electronic music person from the choirgirl hotel & to Venus and back might be your jam as well. Boys for Pele is imo her masterpiece- there is nothing in the world that sounds like it- baroque, urgent, Wild, beautiful, operatic and unhinged in the most unique ways. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The general fan favorites seem to be Boys for Pelé and Scarlet’s Walk, and everything after Scarlet’s Walk is generally not given the love that I think it deserves! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solar Fields 4,163 Posted October 29, 2021 Ocean to Ocean is out now! I listened to the first 5 tracks at midnight but I was so tired I had to go to sleep before I could finish the rest. In spite of that, I really liked the first half and I’m looking forward to discussing with you all! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viktoria 3,176 Posted October 29, 2021 ocean to ocean is a really good album even though i like native invader more. definitely way better than her music from the beekeeper through to night of hunters. 1 Quote last.fm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solar Fields 4,163 Posted October 30, 2021 O2O is definitely more consistent than a lot of her work since the early 2000s but I don’t think it’s as enjoyable as the best moments on some of those albums. “Addition of Light Divided” and “Devil’s Bane” are definitely standout tracks but a few of the others haven’t stuck with me at all yet. Hoping to spend some more time with it and grow to love it 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solar Fields 4,163 Posted November 1, 2021 I’ve seen a lot of people on various websites recently talking about how ranking music is dumb and misses the point of art or whatever, but I think it’s a fun way to share opinions on music so here’s my O2O ranking so far. TIER 1: NEW FAVS Addition of Light Divided Devil’s Bane Swim to New York State Spies TIER 2: GOOD SONGS 29 Years Speaking with Trees Flowers Burn to Gold Birthday Baby Ocean to Ocean TIER 3: STILL GOOD BUT HAVENT GROWN ON ME YET How Glass is Made Metal Water Wood 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domandapiano 12,105 Posted November 1, 2021 Haven’t heard the whole new record yet because I’ve been waiting for a time to give it a good full first listen, but Ive heard the singles and then also addition of light divided and devils bane, and I feel like this album will be very consistent. I get the sense that this will feel more cohesive than recent Tori records. Abnormally Attracted to Sin is her low point imo (and it’d be hard to make a worse record), and everything since then has been a step in the right direction. UG was leaps and bounds nicer than that, and then NI was a step better than UG was, and I feel like O2O is probably the same step closer towards something truly amazing. For reference I think everything up to and including scarlets walk are all varying degrees of great, the beekeeper and adp are just ok but I can mostly enjoy them knowing the production choices and some songs are questionable, aats is mostly dreck with like 5 enjoyable tracks (welcome to England, flavor, 500 miles, starling, fast horse), noh is good but I don’t really lump it in with most of her stuff, the holiday album is cheesy and horribly produced and performed but not totally without songcraft merit, gold dust is useless save flavor and snow cherries (and sometimes marianne when I wanna hear the “weasel squeaks” bit with brass), and then the proper albums since then have been a slow but positive upward trajectory tori album rank since it’s Halloween and I’ve been drinking 1. boys for pele 2. scarlets walk 3. under the pink 4. Little earthquakes 5. choirgirl hotel 6. strange little girls 7. To Venus and back 8. native invader 9. the beekeeper 10. American doll posse 11. unrepentant geraldines 12. Night of hunters 13. Midwinter graces 14. gold dust 15. Abnormally attracted to sin 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
