American Doll Posse
Was R85.95
Now R81.65
One of the most outspoken, creative singer/songwriters of our time returns with her ninth studio album and she's brought company. AMERICAN IDOL POSSE features Tori Amos in a way we,ve never heard her: as five distinc characters who combine to make a complete woman. The characters showed up when Tori began creating songs on her now famous Bosendorfer piano. They include Isabel, (HisTORIcal), the most political of the bunch. She opens the album with "Yo George" and closes it with the anti-war anthem "Dark Side Of The Sun". Pip (ExpiraTORIail) swaggers her way through the driving "Teenage Hustling" and duets with another character Santa on the rollicking "Body And Soul". And of course, there's Tori (TerraTORIles), who is front and centre on "Big Wheel" and the dreamy "Digital Ghost". Tori recorded the album in her own Martian Engineering Studios in Cornwall, England. AMERICAN DOLL POSSE is Tori's 9th studio album and the follow-up to THE BEEKEEPER... Disc 1 1. Yo George 2. Big Wheel 3. Bouncing Off Clouds 4. Teenage Hustling 5. Digital Ghost 6.

Rock from self-proclaimed 'MILF'!Reviewed by Unknown from Joburg on 30 May 2007

I'll admit that I wasn't that crazy about the last album - but let me say that American Doll Posse is hot. Favouring some louder, guitar-driven tracks this time, Tori Amos proves she's as edgy and creative as she was in 1992. Tackling a range of subjects, from the usual love stuff through to a certain American 'president' and teenage starlets falling apart, Tori Amos brings a sound that is fresh, addictive and sometimes downright old-school rock. Recommended if you expect more from music than pop tarts and pretty boys.

Tori Amos – American Doll Posse 2007 (English)
When it comes to Tori Amos we should all accept the fact that compared to her we are all morons. For a courageous moment I even attempted reading the semi-autobiographical book she published in 2005. Even though it is titled, ‘Piece by piece’, I found it too overwhelming to read and only managed Chapter One……
Don’t let it put you off though from buying her music and being swept away into her world. Even if we don’t understand her or her lyrics, we can still feel what she felt when she wrote and recorded the music and believe me on this album it is a glorious feeling.
My copy of the limited edition American Doll Posse was pre-ordered on Amazon months before the release. Whilst waiting anxiously I had to be content with scouring her website and reading press releases and reviews. According to the official press release Tori created five personas for the record and they are Tori, Pip, Santa, Clyde and Isabel. I disagree. I don’t think she created the personas, I think she was born with them and that we are better of for having known them. She is not confined to this planet when creating an album and she will tell you as much herself.
Yes, there’s 23 tracks consisting of full length songs and a few of the exquisite one minute interludes she started using on Boys for Pele, a new rock undertone, bluesy piano numbers, sweeping melodies, angst ridden cries and the unmistakable Tori voice.
And, yes she tackles George W in the opening song and her first single, ‘Big wheel’ is not receiving airplay because she refers to herself as M.I.L.F. in the chorus. (Google the term, I had to.)
And yes the critics are saying it is one of her best albums to date. They compare it to “From the choirgirl hotel”. Some reviewer even said it is, at her age (44), brave of her to go into performance art with the five characters she created.
I simply say buy the CD and service your car, because you will want to go on a road trip to listen to this album.
