She's made better

I love Tori to death, man! But I was dissapointed with this album. She had a terrific concept for an entire cover album but it completly took the edge off of her music. Peices like Eminem's '97 Bonnie and Clyde and the Clash's Strange Little girl came out great and are chilling examples of her style but the over all album is'nt as good as anything she's written herself.

Strange little songs

I love Tori Amos. She is my favorite solo artist of all time. Everything she has put out has turned to gold. Although "Strange Little Girls" album was a bit of a hit and miss in terms of Tori accomplishing what she wanted with the concept of the album but her choices in cover songs is always interesting. I bought the import single of "Strange Little Girl" a couple of years ago for the b-sides. I love the b-sides on Tori's singles. They are either cover songs or previously unrealeased tracks that didn't make it on to the album. I haven't heard the original version of "After All" but I did thoroughly enjoy Tori's haunting rendition of the David Bowie song. Now "Only Women Bleed" was really interesting to hear. I have heard the Alice Cooper version but I must say that I liked Tori's version a lot more. I have always thought "Only Women Bleed" would have been perfect on the album "Strange Little Girls" because of the provocative lyrics and the results Tori got out of it when she sang it from her point of view.

StrangeLittleTrio

Being a huge fan of Tori Amos I was hugely excited to get this single. I had already heard the title track "Strange Little Girl" and loved it. It was a very radio friendly track, which was odd because Tori is not usually radio friendly. However, a title track does not make a CD worthwhile, instead we find two extra covers not featured on the StrangeLittleGirls album. Luckily what stands here are two outstanding b-sides. Both have a piano ballad feel to them, which I love. Tori's voice is amazing and the piano is beautiful on both tracks. "After All", a David Bowie cover, is haunting,yet fulfilling at the same time. A great cover. "Only Women Bleed" is even better. It is absolutely astounding. Who knew an Alice Cooper cover could be so soft and inviting. Overall, a great CD. A bit pricy(I found it cheaper on ebay), but well worth it to any Toriphile.
