Actually, I'm just pleased that you liked a few of the songs - didn't expect you to love it like I do
I admit Tori has acquired a nasty habit of making some very long albums over the last several years. One of my few good personality traits is that I have a deep pool of patience to draw from, so that doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I'm still chewing on the musical she published earlier this year. It is 2 hours long... Ok, so that's a bit much, but I've been taking it one disc at a time so it's ok. I just choose to se it as two albums.
I love Kate Bush and get the comparison - I really do! I just somehow like Tori Amos' albums a lot, especially the more recent ones. Night of Hunters was pretty much album of the year 2011 for me. She seems to bore most people to tears though.
