to which I reply:

 I really don't understand how you can criticize this album already. It came
out yesterday. Most albums need at least a couple listens before all of the
subtle items can enhance the listening pleasure. Most albums that I listen
to do not strike me as good albums on the first or second or third time
through. For example : The Sugarcubes - Life's too Good. An in-fucking-credible
album, but I hated it the first few times that I listened to it. How about
Sting's Ten Sumner's Tales. How boring. Let's hear some good stuff, like on
Ghost in the Machine. Now that I have listened to it, I really, really like
it. Another great album. For my final example, all Kate albums before The
Whole Story. I listened to the first side of Hounds of Love and put it away
for at least a year. I finally took it back out and listened to the whole
thing and loved it.

  I am not saying that you will enjoy Tori's latest album, but you should 
give it a chance before you crucify it.
