wait WHAT :wat:

 

ok so... it's pretty fucking ugly

 

the print without the text is kinda pretty but the text A. not being the same font and B. just being in weird proportion to the artwork itself just is so off putting

 

also why was this necessary :eartha2:

i mean, yes by all means celebrate this momentous album! re-issuing the vinyl w b-sides is a cool way to do so! but i agree w you, could do w/o the entire graphic novel conceit.

marianne

Little amsterdam

i didn't include covers and i really tried to cut down on a lot of stuff but honestly if i could i'd probably include literally the entirety of utp, bfp & ftgh :true:

also a lot more from little earthquakes & to venus and back

Great picks!! It's tough to find even a single song I wouldn't keep from the first 4 albums.

I would add a separate corner just for b-sides and unreleased. Can't live without any of these:

 

Sister Janet

Alamo

Cooling

Cool On Your Island

Never Seen Blue

Honey

Purple People

Upside Down

Beulah Land

Etienne

Bachelorette

Here In My Head

Song For Eric

Merman

Abbey Road

Siren

 

Cool On Your Island and Etienne are pretty unlistenable on YKTR but sublime live

 

And some essential covers (this is perhaps a whole other 10-disc collection):

 

A Case of You

Daniel

Angie

Thank You

I’m On Fire

jail :makeup2:

 

also i included the b-sides in each album section 

 

cooling is literally her best song aside from maybe yes anastasia so not including it on a list of anything tori is blasphemous

how did i forget never seen blue, sister janet, and siren!! honestly her discography is SO stacked, when oh when will she get her due as one of the biggest (and most untouchably unique for so many years) influences in modern singer/songwriter sound?

p.s. i unironically love the YKTR album

cooling has never hit for me! i remember when it came out the fandom went insane for it and i was like...nope. though loved the other b sides (purple people, bachelorette etc) from that era.

 

yes Anastasia is so next level like literally untouchable. hope is lana's YA imo.

you guys are wild with the YKTR. maybe i need to revisit? I think i tried a few times but couldn't.

 

listening to it as a tori amos album will obviously leave you disappointed

but if you look at it through the lens of a typical 80's pop album it's quite strong :true:

edit: also she worked with narada michael walden during the sessions for yktr so that's also explains a lot (none of his stuff made the album though)

what to y'all think of setlists so far on this tour? less variation than usual for sure but i LOVE the older songs she's been including (seems like caught a lite sneeze is permanent) and that she's opening with juarez. would love to hear any of these older songs (all on recent setlists): liquid diamonds, mother revolution, butterfly, little amsterdam, give, twinkle, horses, take to the sky, baker baker. the wrong band is my dream song to hear live but i don't think it shows up on her sets much...a girl can dream tho and with tori there's always hope!

i didn't even know the tour started yet :toofloppy:

 

just looked at the setlists and i think it's a pretty nice setlist :true:

i kinda wish she'd perform more songs from the album she's promoting especially because it's one of her best in awhile but that's more of a nitpick because i'm certainly not complaining about the older songs she's performing

 

take to the sky is one of my favorite tori songs so i'm really happy she's performing it for the tour

omg to venus and back nearly 23 years old!!! this album is the pinkprint for so much witchy faerie electronica we hear in altered forms now (not that tori every gets her due as an influence...) anyway gonna give this one a listen again this week, its been awhile.

 

what are your fav songs on the album? mine:

disc 1: juarez, cruel, lust, suede (one of her all-time best imo), riot poof, datura, spring haze

disc 2: precious things, space dog, the waitress (EPIC live on the FTCH tour), mr. zebra (peak tori), bells for her

TASTE. suede really is a career highlight. When she comes in with the little sister piano part it’s full on ascension. 

 My faves: bliss, Juarez, suede, Josephine (such a cute little piano song), spring haze, 1000 oceans (cheesy but effective)

 

also shoutout to the live version of concertina that’s stunningly gorgeous:

My cat is named Tori because of her :wub: I still think Caught a Lite Sneeze is one of the best songs in History! 

Juarez is also a highlight from that album.

also these live performances of juarez....omg. such a haunting song, the "no angel came" part is brutal and ethereal at once.
