After the sinister lullabies found on Boys for Pele, Tori found The Rock again, and I'm pleased. While I'm less familiar with these songs than I would be if doing a review proper, I can say that I gladly listened through the album
twice and a half today on my drive to and from OB. I even turned up the volume a couple times. That's right.This just goes to show that I have an ear for percussion, and the lack of it makes me crazy. Tori, I think, benefits greatly from having multiple instruments on her songs because her style is so distinct. Because of that, anytime she goes minimalist, the songs run together like warm goo.
I was surprised to hear the musical similarities in the tunes "She's Your Cocaine" and Live's "They Stood up For Love", especially in the intro's. As in, I wouldn't be surprised if the two were written concurrently as a songwriting challenge with each other. Well, probably not, but that would be cool, right?
