Tori Amos’s debut, ‘American Doll Posse’, does not fit easily into one genre. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Tori Amos energies, virtually a rebirth. When you buy a Tori Amos album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Such great and happy songs.
Big Wheel - a classic song. After about the third Bouncing Off Clouds listen through, I began to believe this song is Tori Amos’s essence. Voice of Tori Amos in Teenage Hustling is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Digital Ghost - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. You Can Bring Your Dog is a perfect sing-along. There is excellent mix of music in Mr. Bad Man. Fat Slut on American Doll Posse is solid and easy to listen to. In Girl Disappearing it becomes nowhere more obvious that Tori Amos has yet to define own style. Secret Spell is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after American Doll Posse have ended. Devils And Gods - This one is lively and fun. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Father’s Son is a song to enjoy for years to come. Programmable Soda is just simply stunning. American Doll Posse couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Code Red. Roosterspur Bridge - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. I listened to the opening track Beauty Of Speed and liked it a lot. Once you hear Almost Rosey, you will listen to it over and over. Overall a nice softer song. Dark Side Of The Sun makes a person feel perfect. Posse Bonus is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Blew our minds when we first heard Smokey Joe. Dragon - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.
