A true work of art.

I can't believe I didn't listen to this album sooner. This is truly a wonderful, solid piece of work. Every track is a masterpiece. It's hard to pick out my favorites. If you don't know any of Tori's work, this would be a good place to start. I would certainly recommend this CD.

My First and Most-Played Tori album

If you are not familiar with Tori, this is an excellent starter album. Her first with a band, the music has a rocking, dark sound. A couple of the songs are about Tori's miscarriages (including my absolute favourite, "Spark") and "Pandora's Aquarium" is about one of her best friends who was raped by her father. If you like songs with heavy, intellectual meaning, you will enjoy Tori's wonderfully poetic lyrics.

Great Tracks include but are not limited to:

Spark

Raspberry Swirl

She's Your Cocaine

Playboy Mommy

All of her albums are excellent as well. I reccomend each and every one.
