I've just discovered my love for the liquid destructivness of Fearless. Loving it. All the tracks become better for each listen, some are more instant than others (obviously). Gosh. Stanning again."It contains the power and dynamics and splendor of her very best material, but because it is a work of classical crossover, any expectation of pop hooks or singalong choruses will be met with disappointment; consequently, its sophistication, elegance, and poetry will reward anyone who takes the proper time to absorb it."

Can't get over Job's Coffin, and the way mommy taught her daughter to sing with the same drawl "sister it's time to bring it on line". It's just so touching and beautiful.

True! Natasha blends so well with the classic theme, and Job's Coffin is lovely (as is each track), mainly because it's so accesible and frisky. Cactus Practice might be the most hookiest song on the album, I cannot get over the line "It's time to induct you into, the drink of the cactus practice - Cactus... Practice" Love it! I have just read one bad review on the involvement of Tash... it went something like "Tori sounds like her lifeless, old piano teacher".Cactuar wrote:painfully beautiful and delicate, and Natashya's vocals slays me everytime.

Are you familiar with any other albums from Tori? I fully agree with you, it sounds completed, in other words: flawless. Raw in its beauty.

Gosh! Read this, the album really follows this storyline with a haunting effect.CONCEPT
"According to Amos, the concept centers on a woman who is left alone on the eve of her relationship's demise in an old Georgian house near the River Bandon, located on the outskirts of Kinsale, County Cork in Ireland. As dusk turns to night, the woman is confronted by Annabelle, a shapeshifting "childlike creature" who "emerges from nature", played by Amos' daughter. The mythical creature, representing "duality", as well as the ancient forces of "the hunter" and "the hunted", coaxes the woman to follow her into the night, transporting them both approximately three-thousand years into the past to witness a previous incarnation of the woman's relationship. It was a time of great chaos and violence in ancient Ireland as a war of beliefs raged on, and the woman and her lover fought side-by-side as bards, using the ancient tree alphabet as their only weapon. Once the war was lost, however, the woman and her lover crossed the Atlantic on his sailboat, abandoning her world, the New World, in favor of his world, the Old World. It was during this time that forces, both within and outside of their control, drew the couple apart. After their sojourn into the past, Annabelle inducts the woman in an ancient peyote ritual which is meant to further expand her consciousness through both hallucinogenic and meditative means. During the ritual, Annabelle helps the woman realize how she abandoned her own fire and inner-strength when she left her world in favor of her lover's. The woman also sees how both she and her former lover interchangeably misused the ancient forces of "the hunter" and "the hunted" against one another throughout the course of their union. This self-destructive dynamic, in turn, also plagued the present-day incarnation of their relationship. Once the ritual and woman's self-examination are complete, Annabelle reminds her of the perils and benefits found in using and misusing the ancient energies of "the hunter" and "the hunted". The creature also advises the woman that there are "forces" at work that must be dealt with and that she must leave her so that she alone may face the Fire Muse, played by Amos' niece. In meeting the mythical goddess, the woman is allowed to recapture the fire and inner-strength she had abandoned, both in her past and present incarnations, and is taught about the "light" and "dark" forces of the world at large. The Fire Muse reminds the woman that more than just her own mortal pains and desires are of concern and, together, as the fiery goddess calls upon the woman to see the world from a higher perspective, they weave a spell to protect the light of the world from the forces of darkness. The woman ends her journey at dawn, renewed and grateful for her place in the world and for all of the people that have inhabited her life, including her former lover."

I feel appreciated (the stanning is leading somewhere) But honestly..
Are you familiar with Tori's music from before? Be prepared for a heavy classical sounding album.by RaFanatic » Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:52 pm

It's just that this album has really hit me, although it took 4-5 plays to embrace all of the tracks - and that's still with me being a fanatic Tori lover. I guess this is a completely different approach from her.
