Summary: Not her best, but still good!
Comment: Certainly not her best but still good. Tori can do no wrong in my eyes. She is truely unique and inspiring.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's Tori; what can you expect?
Comment: She always surprises us and uses her words and music to make each experience and story come alive. Others didn't like this album, but I got it as soon as it came out and I think it's just as creative and inventive as its predecessor Scarlet's Walk. The album is divided into categories and elements of Tori. There were songs that immediately struck a chord with me, while others took longer to grab a hold of me. Ultimately, I grew to love this album in its entirety.
Having been a long-time hardcore Tori fan, you need this album like all of the others! Additionally, you should check out the Live iTunes session she did with 2 tracks from this album (Sleeps With Butterflies, even more beautiful; and The Power Of Orange Knickers).

Summary: Quite Tori
Comment: Well, I came across Tori napstering some years ago, I accidently downloaded "crucify". This year I started youtubing her intensively.
I liked all her different versions really well even the RAINN Version of Precious Things. She's kind of always changing and ridiculous sometimes, sometimes overacting. This Album is different from the others I have by now. Some say all songs had the same speed. Well I don't care. even if every song would only differ by one single note, I'd probably get into a mood even for that someday.
I Just love that "Ireland" song ridicolous as it is. For the Lyrics- well they have been more "powerful" when she sang about her Rape and her Miscarriages. I wouldn't want her having to experience things like that on an annual basis so pepople like her Albums. She wrote sommwhere that most songs are a product of digesting impressions she has - well she had rather ordinary impressions prior to writing these songs. Nice Product though and one, I'd recommend to everybody who's a little into Tori and open for discovery.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrendous
Comment: Total disappointment. She had so much talent in some of her previous works. This is devoid of excitement, charisma, and the inimitible Amos spark that permeated her better works. Without a doubt her most lackluster performance, sad to say.
Customer Rating:
Summary: So not Tori to me
Comment: tori has always had the ability to amaze fans with each of her albums until the beekeeper. I have listened to this album over and over and I just cant get into it at all. As sad as it is to admit, I don't like anything about this album. Sure there are a few songs that are okay(original sinsuality, barons of suburbia and the title track). This is not her strongest album by any means though. If you are a new Tori fan I would suggest you start with anything before this (*Ahem*-little earthquakes). I love Tori and I always will but this wasn't the Tori I've grown with.

After Scarlet's Walk, Tori Amos' 2002 ambitious sonic travelogue that took her to all 50 states, penning love letters to America along the way, the fiery earth-sprite has fashioned another high-minded concept album, tying her 19 songs--and one not-so-hidden track--into a garden motif that's part a retelling of Alice In Wonderland, another A Little Shop of Horrors. The Beekeeper chronicles her rather autobiographical protagonist's journey through what seems to be an overgrown labyrinth of the subconscious as she experiences a series of life-altering events and emotions. In addition, living in Cornwall for the past decade has certainly had an effect on Amos, she even takes inspiration from Daphne Du Maurier's classic novel Jamaica Inn, which takes place on that rugged seacoast, but the greatest change is the grit in her voice; on a song like "Hoochie Woman," she sounds like she's channeling Chrissie Hynde--a welcome change from some of the preciousness of her earlier work. She also surprises with the steely, eloquent resolve on a song like "Goodbye Pisces" one of the better break-up songs in recent memory. The Beekeeper returns the quirky singer to the same whimsical terrain of 1992's Little Earthquakes, but with much stronger storylines, and a much more assured and nuanced voice. Her best yet. --Jaan Uhelszki Recommended Tori-phernalia
