Album Review

Highly ambitious, challenging, idiosyncratic, and confounding, Boys for Pele expands on the more experimental and progressive tendencies of Under the Pink. Amos frequently discards traditional song structures and employs wide-ranging, eclectic instrumentation in her music, while her lyrics seem to grow even more obscure, giving the album a very impressionistic feel. While there are certainly worthwhile moments, her experiments don't always work; some of the songs fail to stick, and it takes a few plays before many start to sink in. Ultimately, Boys for Pele is polarizing: Some Amos fans will only admire her more for taking the risks she does, while others may find to their disappointment that the intimacy and personal connection that helped Amos build her fan base are too difficult to detect.

Customer Reviews

Perfect !

One of the best Tori Amos album ever made ! Powerful, amazing, a great chef-d'oeuvre ! With Caught a little sneeze, and of course one of her best song ever : Professional widow ! If you are a fan of Tori Amos ... Buy this album right away !

Her best ever

Not even Tori Amos can write another album this good. Definitely in my Top 10 desert island albums. Love how pretty and heavy it is at the same time.

She's the best!

No one is like Tori Amos. She's so unique! This is one of her best albums (although totally check out Under the Pink and Little Earthquakes too...and all the others!). Every song is different but they're all amazing. If you don't know Tori Amos yet, seriously check her out. She's amazing! And by the way, number 8 is actually supposed to be Caught a LITE Sneeze.

In addition, she revived the singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s while re-establishing the piano as a rock & roll instrument. With her 1992 album Little...
