Girlfriend in a Coma, I Know It's Serious-- Tori Amos' Lifeless The Beekeeper.

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Sarah McLachlan Disease claims another career.
Review: I've always told you the songs are separate from me. Yes, I write them; I gather the elements. But I do so by going around and listening to other people's stories. I watch the audience. I study how people react to what I've already created, and that...

Underwhelmed by the power of orange knickers...or blue..or red...or green.

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: It's no little earthquakes but it's still Tori and she still has her moments.
Review: Many years ago I remember an album that effected me like no other of the time and in some ways the way an album never has since. A naked testimonial to the pain and hurt that can accompany being not only a woman but a human being Tori Amos offered...

Can you "come to terms, to terms with" The Beekeeper's mediocrity?

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2008
The Bottom Line:

It just doesn't make sense for someone as creative as Tori Amos to make an album this boring.

Review: When I first took an interest in Tori Amos' music, countless people told me to avoid her 2005 release The Beekeeper. After listening to many of her other albums and liking most of them very much, I remained curious about this release generally...

Amos Goes Full on Mainstream With Positive Results

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: "The Beekeeper" takes Tori Amos absolute leaps further towards mainstream music making without abandoning her penchant for experementality; it is a great listen.
Review: Tori Amos' "The Beekeeper" is an album rife with expectations. Arguably her biggest years of succses were 1991 (in the U.K.) and 1997 (in the United States.) Her debut album "Little Earthquakes," with it's quirtky and deeply personal lyrics, struck...

The Power of Boring Songs That Go On for Eleven Days and Nights Each

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: ...fell asleep because Adult Contemporary Grandma Tori sucks.
Review: Tori Amos is typically not described as an artist who lacks passion. The North Carolina-born singer/songwriter/prodigy pianist/unconventional 90's alternative female rocker struck a chord with listeners with her opening quartet of albums (1991's...

Best Since Choirgirl Hotel

Date of Review:  May 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a mixed bag, but still well worth the effort of sifting through its density. Tori is still gifted; she may be in need of some editing.
Review: INTRODUCTION

This is probably the most schizophrenic album of Tori Amos' career. I think that is why it is alienating some of her long-time fans. Ever since the late 1990's she has seemed engaged in a game of tug-of-war between commercial...

Honey Flavored Bliss (Tori III of III)

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: She did it. Tori Amos finally got better instead of worse since her last album. A lot better. Check it out!
Review: Part of a three-part series entitled "The Perfect Tori Record"

Again, I'm playing the mad scientist and mangling Tori's last three original albums, reordering them, leaving out roughly half the tracks that I don't like, and making a double...

The Sleep-Inducer

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Just as muddled and dull as "Strange Little Girls", but this time she doesn't have covers to hide behind. Inconsequential kitchen-sink nothingness.
Review: If the 18-track adult-contemporary fest of "Scarlet's Walk" wasn't enough, Tori Amos elected to follow it up with "The Beekeeper": this time with 19 radio-friendly, inoffensive ditties. Once again, the songs present a simple set of piano/guitar/drum...

Lush, intelligent and important, Tori Amos is still the leader of female singer/songwriters!

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: This album shows that music can be intelligent, poignant and accessible.
Review: With an impressive back catalogue from 1992's exceptional debut 'Little Earthquakes', 1998's harrowing 'From The Choirgirl Hotel' and 2002's 'Scarlet's Walk', a sonic novel based upon a road trip across the whole of America, one comes to expect alot...

Pele, the Apiary Tender // A Review of "The Beekeeper" by Tori Amos

Date of Review:  May 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: An Album that redefines the term 'Masterpiece', this CD is one that everyone needs in their collection. Brilliant.
Review: Tori Amos has chosen the most perfect song to open her album "The Beekeeper". Entitled 'Parasol', it sets the tone for one of the most well-produced and beautifully delivered albums of the decade. As she whispers "When I come to terms with this, my...
