From the Choirgirl Hotel by Tori Amos

Pros: A great and diverse collection of music
Cons: One song that I can't appreciate

Tori Amos' fourth album takes the beautiful melodies and pianos that are prevalent on her previous albums, and combines them with lots of layered tracks and rhythms. Choirgirl holds the same contrasting angry and delicate attitudes that were constant in...

Pros: Great lyrics, great music, good variety of sound.
Cons: None that I can think of.

From The Choirgirl Hotel was Tori Amos's first album done with a full backing band, and, like almost everything she does, she managed to get a familiar sound out of a new style. This was the last Tori album I bought (after Venus, Earthquakes, Pink, and...

Pros: Amos' characteristic angelic voice with her rhythmically compliant lyrics mix seamlessly with impressively engineered synthesized music.
Cons: May not cater to the taste of some of her previous fans, but I'm not so sure.

First off, I do not own any other Tori Amos albums. I have heard her songs before and have been, usually, intrigued by her unusual and beautiful voice, and her music. I knew she was very talented, but until this album I had not pictured her music as the...

Pros: Cruel, good music at times.
Cons: Some really bad lyrics and other obnoxious things.

All right, I'll start with this: I'm not really a Tori fan. I have only four of the millions of her albums. But I'd rather be normal than a fan of Mrs Amos. Her crazed fans are almost as weird as she is, and I think this album is the reason. I bought ...

Pros: ---------
Cons: -------

It's amazing what loss can do. From The Choirgirl Hotel is Tori Amos's fourth album. This, in my opinion, is one of her best works to date. These are my favorite tracks (They change every day):

Spark- "Spark" is about loss, in Tori's case it's...

Pros: Beautiful Songs, Excellent Vocals, Powerful Lyrics.
Cons: Zero.

Tori Amos made a name for herself with the release of three amazing albums, all which are individual masterpieces, came back to release 1998's "From the Choirgirl Hotel". This is one of the few albums I have found that can soothe my nerves...

Pros: refreshingly "full"-sounding after Boys For Pele
Cons: Not quite as rich as some of her others

If Boys For Pele represented yet another effort at cleansing exorcism, then 1998’s comparatively unquirky From The Choirgirl Hotel sees Tori Amos checking back in to the Raisin Girl Zeitgeist by supplementing her siren-song sound with a tight,...

Pros: diverse and challenging
Cons: what cons... you think i need tori-philes on my back?

Americans loathe to admit their creepy facination with alternative , but add a rock n' roll tinge and you've got them sold. That may describe Bjork's appeal but Ms. Amos is another entity unto herself. As Tori fanatics will mostly be reading this...

Pros: lyrics, variety of music styles
Cons: band takes over for most of her solo piano work

If you don't know anything about this woman, this is her 4th major release and every one is different in many ways but always has her blunt, truthful lyrics and her beautiful, haunting voice. Choirgirl is different because she has a band unlike her...

Pros: mellow yet up-beat, a dark treat.
Cons: none

The truth about Tori is that she writes beautifully when something tragic has happened to her. Following her miscarriage, and coupled with her wedding, this album is a combination of somber and hip swinging tunes.

I'm not going to proclaim...

Pros: Most accessible Tori Amos album ... high level of emotion
Cons: None

First of all, I'd like to point out that not every Tori Amos fan is 1) female or 2) younger than 30. I'm in my 40s, male, and Tori is the one artist in world I feel closest to. Something about her music touches me in a deep way -- even when I don't...

Pros: A beautiful album. Good lyrics, poignant music, interesting cover art.
Cons: Instrumentation is not as good as that in Boys for Pele. Rather monochromatic.

I bought this album because I happened to be in the music store and was in the mood to spend money; I already had Boys for Pele and Little Earthquakes. Although I had no particular interest at the time in any of the songs on From the Choirgirl Hotel, I...

Pros: New sound and style, addition of a band
Cons: Very different from previous 3 albums

Being a fan of Tori Amos's for two years, I ran out and bought this album the day it was released. It was very different from her previous three
albums, but did not disappoint me. As with Boys for Pele, I had to listen
to this album a few...

Pros: It's Tori Amos, great lyrics, great songs
Cons: Not as much piano as before

I just became a Tori listener this year, and FTCGH was the first album I bought. Maybe it's just because it was the first showing of excellence, but it haunts me in an unexplainable way. The album has more experimentation with drum loops and...

Pros: Different Tori sound, but GOOD different.
Cons: A few tracks you can yawn at

Although I am a devoted Toriphile, I am unbiased, as well. I realize that Tori has lots of fantastic music, as well as her share of cheesy music.
The album starts out with "Spark," probably the most popular single from the album. It's one of my...
