Music reviews of American Doll Posse
Music Review: Her strongest since Boys For Pele!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Nothing like The Beekeeper, this is arguably her hardest rocking album. Incorporating heavy metal and rock guitar reminiscent of her idols Led Zepplin and The Beatles, she completely re-creates herself on this. What I love is how she gives this album a 100% American sound to it - songs like Big Wheel and the amazingly heavy Body & Soul, she's blazed new territory for herself.
Of course it's got it's beautiful melodic pieces (Roosterspur Bridge, Girl Disappearing) that are all worth listening to. At 23 songs, this is her longest album. Some people are turned off by the sheer amount, but to me it's a monument to her talent. There's so much to feast off of here. She goes McCartney Beatles on us with Programmable Soda (think "When I'm 64"); Velvet Revolution makes me think of her playing beneath the moon in Italy. Secret Spell & Almost Rosey are such lively, positive, upbeat songs, I cant help but smile every time I hear them.
There's even glam rock here, songs like You Can Bring Your Dog & Beauty Of Speed could make Ziggy Stardust jealous.
I think fans need to get over the fact that Tori's never going to do another Little Earthquakes. She's evolving, and this album is remarkable proof. This album made me a Tori fan all over again. I was a hardcore fan up until To Venus and Back, then fell off the wagon. Recently I picked up The Beekeeper, and was underwhelmed. I got wind of the reviews for this album and knew that there was something worth checking out.

Description of American Doll Posse
In an era of digital downloads and singles, Tori Amos embraces the concept album in a sprawling 23-song oratorio. Firing across the American psychological, social, and political landscape, she takes on the state of the world, war, and feminism. To help her, she adopts five personas--her American Doll Posse--who take their characteristics from Greek gods, but not their names: Clyde, Pip, Isabel, Santa, and Tori. You need a scorecard to keep track, but don't worry. It's still Tori Amos, bending syllables in improbable pretzels with rippling piano themes and choruses that threaten to go Broadway at any moment. Amos vents her political spleen through "Isabel," leaving no doubt as to her targets on tracks like "Yo George," and comments on our impersonal age and computer addiction with "Digital Ghost." That's sung by the character "Tori," who is reputedly based on Demeter and Dionysus, representing the split between Amos's earth-mother side and her wilder, more libertine tendencies. Anti-war and pro-feminist themes are plastered across American Doll Posse like sloganeering posters. "Dark Side of the Sun" laments both sides of the war, including the Islamists who lay down their lives "for some sick promise of heaven." Amos adopts a big '80s rock sound on many tracks, with guitarist Mac Aladdin pealing off Brian May-style guitar licks over an arena-rock beat. It's where Amos details a more personal sound that American Doll Posse leaves a lasting impression. "Girl Disappearing," sung by "Clyde," holds echoes of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," not only because of the string quartet and nostalgic tone, but the updated tale of a woman losing herself. "Smokey Joe" brims with dark atmospheres, Robert Fripp-like guitar sustains, and Amos's most elaborate vocal arrangements, interweaving two sets of lyrics for "Pip." More than a concept album, American Doll Posse is a convergence experience, mixing online blogs from each character, videos, MySpace sites, and more. --John DilibertoGeneral CDs
