Tori Amos: From the Choirgirl Hotel (Atlantic)
Sara Scribner, Los Angeles Times, 3 May 1998
IS SHE A high-boil Kate Bush rip-off or a true renegade – a singer-pianist unafraid to cavort with fairies and howl with wolves? Sometimes Amos is simply both, someone capable of terrific, swooping highs and ungodly, muck-wallowing lows, a woman whose fever either mesmerizes or embarrasses. Before Fiona, there was Tori Amos: strong, passionate, womanly and weird.
