 I really don't understand how you can criticize this album already. It came

I disagree.   Some albums (works of art) will hit me
like a ton of bricks!!!!!  Here are but a few examples:
  - Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
  - The dreaming - Kate Bush
  - Terrapin Station - Grateful Dead 
  - Acquiring the Taste - Gentle Giant
  - hounds Of Love - Kate Bush
  - The Division Bell - Pink Floyd
  - The Walking - Jane Siberry
  - Stratosfear - Tangerine Dream

It often depends on the environment at the time you first
listen to an album.  I usually use headphones for a first
listen.  If you're going to be interrupted, then don't
listen to a new album.  

If you need to several listens to appreciate an album, 
it's probably because you need to be in a specific mood.
Otherwise the music just doesn't come across.  

Perhaps Bryan wasn't "in the Mood" to listen to Tori. 
Tori's music tends to be that way.  

I haven't heard Boys For Pele yet....but I have bought
Caught a Lite Sneeze.  I didn't like it.  CALS is boring
and "un-original".  I'll buy her album today....
let's hope it gets better.  

In anycase,  Kate's still the Goddess and tori can only
be an "angel" at best....  ;-)  IMHO, of course.

peace
