Tori Amos - Ocean To Ocean

[BoysForSeles]

I’m not here to be contrary with @Suedey but I really enjoy Police Me, I played it again after reading this and it led me on to play Fiona’s ‘When The Pawn’, my brain must have made some kind of sonic connection there. That Guy never needed to emerge in the public domain.

I have no need for a sea view.

My God-Tier Tori Top 6 is locked down.

 

[Iguana]

My God-Tier Tori Top 6 is locked down.

Since 2002

 

[Iguana]

A part of me wishes she had recorded Native Invader and Ocean To Ocean with her 1998 or 2002 voice. It's strong material. Can you imagine Devil's Bane with real power vox

[BoysForSeles]

1 Under The Pink
2 Little Earthquakes
3 from the choirgirl hotel
4 To Venus and Back
5 Boys For Pele
6 Ocean To Ocean
7 Scarlet’s Walk
8 American Doll Posse
9 Native Invader
10 The Beekeeper
11 Unrepentant Geraldines
12 Abnormally Attracted To Sin
13 Strange Little Girls
14 Night of Hunters
15 Midwinter Graces

1-7 are so good. ADP and AATS would probably challenge them with a streamlined track listing (of my choosing). I find more to admire about Night of Hunters than to really like.

 

[Iguana]

I love that this tour has made Russia into a classic

Is Stalin on your shoulder?

 

[Iguana]

Aaw I like that Ocean To Ocean is so high for you @BoysForSeles!

 

[BoysForSeles]

It’s a bit of a timing coincidence that I’ve just recently reached the part of ‘Resistance’ where she’s talking a lot about Russia and Ukraine. This book is taking me forever to finish though.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Guys I just had a flashback to night 2's version of LIQUID DIAMONDS

[Iguana]

I've really slept on the official bootlegs from the Beekeeper era. I'm loving them right now.

[Iguana]

"Thank you everybody for being here on my last night of being 41."

Holy shit. Imagine having the discography she had at that point.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I'm going to do mine in order of what I'd most like to listen to RIGHT NOW, rather than objective quality - as otherwise the top 4 would always be THE SAME

1. To Venus and Back
2. Under The Pink
3. from the choirgirl hotel
4. Boys for Pele
5. Ocean To Ocean
6. Scarlet's walk
7. Native Invader
8. The Beekeeper
9. Little Earthquakes
10. Unrepentant Geraldines
11. American Doll Posse
12. Abnormally Attracted To Sin
13. Strange Little Girls
14. Night of Hunters
15. Midwinter Graces
16. Gold Dust

To Venus And Back is SO UNDERRATED, and if we're including the live disc too the Previous Things performance on it is positively ORGASMIC.

Objectively however my all-time number 1 bounces between Pele and Choirgirl depending on season, very similar to Björk with Homogenic/Vespertine actually

Those vocal noddlings / acrobatics / adlibs at the end

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Oh I forgot Y Kant Tori Read lets stick that in at number 7 to fuck shit up

I do also genuinely, sincerely ADORE Cool On Your Island, to the point where it could possibly jostle for my Tori top 10
