Cover looks like it came fresh from Photoshop, she looks impossibly edited and mannequin-like, I'm not liking the way they amped up the contrast and lowered the saturation. Gorgeous dress though.

Niiiice cover! I hope the album will be better than her last 4 :lol: I want somethin like LE, SW, BFP, FTCH etc.
BTW The Beekeeper's cover is her worst one. Actually it's as bad as Khia's Thug Misses album cover LOL

It's one of my favourites! It's so commercial and pleasant, it almost looks like a sanitary pad ad. :lol:

My favourite cover is From The Choirgirl Hotel, it's so striking and beautiful.

Love the nature-themed tracklist! She always comes up with a brilliant concept. :)

14 tracks! :o

I thought she'd never return to make an album with less than 18 tracks, not that it has ever bothered me, I love Scarlet's Walk, American Doll Posse & Abnormally Attracted To Sin. Alot!

This is exciting, the titles are intereting. I would like to have the single out in early august.

According to Amazong the albums release date is the 20th of September. That means a single will hopefully be out soon. The only problem with this date is that Björks Biophilia will be released one week after... and I have no idea how I will manage to sepearate the huge impact they're going to have on me.

Come on Tori, I need that single soon to prepare myself!

Oh.. she'll bring her tour to Copenhagen two nights in a row in late October! I am going to see her live on both nights. There is just one thing which makes me a bit upset.. Two nights in Denmark, one in Norway, one in Finland - but none in Sweden? She's been ignoring Sweden the 2 last tours, and I don't understand why!?

Same thing with Björk. She has not toured in Sweden since 2001, the Volta tour went everywhere, except Sweden - what is that all about? Goldfrapp did the same for their 2 latest tours.

I really really hope this latest offering is not as snooze-inducing/cringe-worthy as AATS, which was an utter disappointment. ADP was good, Midwinter Graces was okay i guess.

How come Tori fans cannot enjoy her music after Scarlet's Walk? AATS is in my opinion a better album than From The Choirgirl Hotel. Just saying.

^ You've just blasted my favourite Tori album of all time with that statement. :lol:

I'm curious as to why she rarely tours Australia, her albums do chart here after all. :-? I thought once I read an article that this was due to the paparazzi taking "upskirt" pictures of her while she performed but I can't seem to find the article anymore.

Found it!

Sydney Morning Herald, May 6, 2005 wrote:Around this time, an Australian tabloid took "upskirt" photographs of Amos during a live performance at which she was not wearing underwear. Some claim that this is the reason Tori did not tour Australia again until 2005, but Tori herself cited the cause as the interference of marriage, miscarriages and limitations on travel with a young child.

Screw leaks! I'm waiting for a first single to be released! Hope you're enjoying them pal! I just read the comments without listening to the video, "return to form"? She has never been out of form in my opinion.

Very excited for this record! Especially for a single!

Hey, kompis! :D I didn't listen to them yet... but I'm not sure if I can stand until the official release.

Anyway, I read some positive comments about "Nautical Twilight".

P.S.: Just pre-ordered "Night Of Hunters" (Deluxe Edition / CD+DVD)! Hope for new visualettes and I can't wait for the first single! :P

I let myself listen to Nautical Twilight to get a grasp on the direction, and I'm very pleased! She has a huge, grand classical sound. :o

All these leaks and previews, I think I'll wait some more time. Carry is still on heavy rotation here.

But fans seem to really feel the "old" Tori as they write in this project. I guess that's a good sign, to me, however, she have never left.

All the three tracks so far sound promising. They remind me of her epic last tracks that she has in every album, especially Gold Dust, Dragon and Lady In Blue.
