Tori is my absolute favorite ever, and I have played her music since my daughter who is 7 now was born..........and thankfully she loves her as much as I do.
I'm all for Tori being happy, but what possessed her to create this album (and ADP and AATS for that matter)? Couldn't she have expressed her happiness through the exquisite melody and masterful pianistic expression that her first albums are laced with? Instead we got over-produced, pseudo-reggae crap like this. "Drivin' in my Saab"? Are you serious? There was once a time when Tori could write sheer poetry. My respect for her died with this album.
@sickofwaitingtables I notice you write a lot of negative comments and critiques of Tori. Maybe you should show us your music so that we can criticise you in everything you do?
Actually, Tori is my favorite artist. However, her last three albums have been less than satisfactory, and I'm not the only person who thinks that. The production is less than stellar, the style is campy, the piano is always drowned out... There are many fans of hers that share my sentiments.
@sickofwaitingtables And many of other fans who like all her new stuff as well. She can't always play the same type of songs over and over again. This may not be her best song but it's not as awful as your opinion is. Just because you, or other people, don't like it, doesn't make it bad. What last 3 albums are you refering to? American Doll Posse and Abnormally Attracted to Sin? They're amazing.
This is my mom's favorite album. She considers is "a mother's album." I suppose there is a maternal wisdom in this that most mother's understand, being mellow and in this stage of their lives, as Tori was when she created it. I think it is very good in that sense. Maybe one day i will 'get it.'
Tori has found peace in her life, people need to realize that. I am glad she is happy and peaceful. I don't wish sadness or torture on anyone for my own entertainment.
When I first heard this song I hated it, thought it was one of the worst songs I'd ever heard. I thought the same about Sweet the Sting. Now I find them just lovely, nothing too deep like many of her other albums but it's nice to have a nice melodic collection of song. Just lovely.
Just because it isn't wrist-cutting music doesn't mean it's bad. If you guys don't like happy-sounding Tori, there's always Little Earthquakes and a box of razor blades waiting for you.
@TearInTheirHands This songs so gorgeous I agree lol Tori's allowed to be happy she's not all sadness, she has a happy side to her too :D people should lighten up I like how this song is like she's so free and happy!!! good on you for having an opinion TearInTheirHands
I guess the Beekeper will gain more respect as years pass by. The production is a bit cheap, but the songs are amazing, and some of them really represent Tori's composing skills at its best: "Toast", "Marys of the seas", "Original sinsuality"...:D
Yeah, this was the first Beekeeper song to capture MY interest. I think my favourite Tori Amos albums is The Beekeeper, and Little Earthquakes. But I havent hear all yet x]
my favorite track on the album! the beekeeper was flawless!! if you're stuck in '96, go listen to pele, but don't expect tori to sound the same 10 and 13 years later! how boring that would be.
i heard a live version from this tour, it was much better than the recording in my opinion, but i still don't like it.. i just don't really have a taste for this album. some of the songs i could like, but the production kind of kills it for me. it's just a personal thing, to all who like the beekeeper, more power to you!
i think it's a very different album. it's the only one of hers that calms me down. It's very serene and honest. Try "Ribbons Undone" it really works :D
maybe it's just me then...i just feel that the songs she sang (especially the ones directed to her mom, tash or her brother) that were on this album were very genuine and full of emotion.
You've got to admit that "the beekeeper" (the single) is just plain genius. maybe "toast" too?
Brilliant.
