To Venus And Back is the latest release from Rock Sensation Tori Amos, and is another great one by this talented musician.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn't a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
These days it's a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
If you're a Tori Amos fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of Amos, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 8 - Cloud On My Tongue, track 4 - Glory Of the 80's, and track 13 - Purple People.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Bliss. This is a great track!
