Tori Amos - Ocean To Ocean

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

All of Tori's recent stuff I've LOVED (Reindeer King, Forest Of Glass, Oysters) has been the minimal piano-based stuff, so I'm a bit disappointed that she's gone via the band route AGAIN. I'm hoping for a couple of gems however.

Amazing that she hasn't just done a Tori and piano album. It would be such a BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS easy win for her too.

She's been on an upwards curve since 2009 for me (no I DON'T COUNT GOLD DUST), so I'm at least TITILATED, at most EXPECTING GREATNESS

The cover was FAKE here's the real one!

Oh that's ACCEPTABLE

I mean it's no

It gives me a tiny bit of Scarlet's Walk vibes which makes it OKAY

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

That cover looks FINE. Although it certainly looks like it was quickly snapped on an iPhone
JOGGERS OFF, wig and Issey Miyake frock ON and lets hope there's not a sudden gust of WIND!

I love the title Ocean To Ocean too.
I really wish this was a sea/water-based CONCEPT album, particularly if it explored various mythical and mystical deities from the history books and Tori's own HEAD!

I thought it was another fake but it appears not! The pic I've posted is pretty LQ but she looks okay enough in it!

OMG the WIG! /

Why is she LEANING against the ROCK? How idle of her!

She's SITTING, you can see from her feet that her legs are crossed (to ward off evil sea demons)

I thought you were dissing me!

 

[jivafox]

Not entirely AWFUL but it’s a bit CHEAP.

just slightly but also unintentionally

It looks alright but that font needs to get in the sea

 

[Iguana]

Isn't the font the same as the Native Invader font? I think it's fine!

Nooo the font is very 2002 feng shui background music for £5 at the garden centre

 

[Iguana]

Ha ok, I will defer to the experts!

 

[Diddy]

Well I’ll say, if the worst thing about a Tori cover in 2021 is the font, that’s a BIG WIN

 

[BoysForSeles]

The font is fine (I mean I don’t really care about that stuff), the wig isn’t a problem either but the photo is a bit Telstar. I’d prefer something a little more left field art whatever that may be.

People seem to be loving the font now on Facebook?!

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The picture (and WIG) gets worse and worse the more HQ it GETS!

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Seriously, that wig is an ATROCITY!

[Iguana]

"In spite of the various crises that have occurred since 2017’s Native Invader, Tori Amos has emerged with Ocean to Ocean, her most personal work in years — an album bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest song writing. Written during the third lockdown in Cornwall this year, Ocean to Ocean is a universal story of going to rock bottom and renewing yourself all over again."

Oh and what was madame doing during the first two?

 

[Iguana]

I guess she wrote her anti-Trump album and ditched it, so started again this year!

“Birthday Baby”

I hope it's a duet with MIA.

She’s attended Alanis’ online lockdown classes for awkward word order and phrasing it would seem.

It is very much in the vein of 'Under Rug Swept'!
