Editorial Reviews :
From the confusion and chaos that marked one of the most harrowing episodes in American history comes Tori Amos's masterwork. Scarlet's Walk, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed covers LP, Strange Little Girls, was written on a cross-country road trip shortly after the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Over the course of 3,000 miles and 18 tracks, the crimson-haired singer encounters rogue lovers ('A Sorta Fairytale'), reformed porn stars ('Amber Waves'), and an entire cast of characters who embody the spirit of a country suddenly searching for an identity. The album serves as both an ambitious travelogue and as a graceful rejoinder to the bitterness and frustration that inspired it, with Amos wading through swells of sadness ('I Can't See New York'), anger ('Don't Make Me Come to Vegas'), and insecurity ('Your Cloud') with velvety grace.
Buyer Reviews :
This is truly personal and beautiful body of work for Tori Amos. It's a roller coaster ride across the human soul and the roads we've all taken. It is a gorgeous body of music and I am truly happy I own it.
My fawning aside...
The album seems to be back to the roots for Tori, reminiscent of Little Earthquakes or Under The Pink. Her voice ranges from angelic and soft to strong and solid. The range of styles is subtle from a distance, but when you closely examine each song it's clear she was careful to give each it's own personality and story. From full orchestral backing to a cappella to a very raw piano and drums - this album doesn't have a set 'style' or tone. It's a simple mix of beautiful songs that flow perfectly together. It's amazing how far she can take you in a short time.
This album is not purely a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 and you won't find anything that comes right out and says so, either. It's a trip across the land we all rediscovered, personal and physical.
I would recommend this album to anyone. A Tori fan not. If you're not a fan already, this album will do it.
