So are these songs in their final form? I wonder... Here's my .02. I really disliked both of them. Big Wheel more so than Bouncing Off Clouds. I've been more and more disappointed in Tori's music over the years. I wish her all the success in the world, but her music has gotten less and less intimate for me. I've been a HUGE devoted fan since Little Earthquakes, and her music to me for the first 3 albums in particular were EXTREMELY important to me. The first time I went to see her in concert (Dew Drop Inn tour) I cried and cried and cried and cried. It seems that with each tour I get less and less from her in terms of my emotional involvement. Same with her albums. I HOPE this album does well for her. I really do. It would be very nice if she gets what she needs in terms of recognition for it (if that's what she wants) but it would also be nice if I get what I need...that emotional bond I had with her earlier music. I can't really comment that her music seems more commercial now than it did in the past, although I've heard many make this judgment. I'm not sure if "commercial" is the right word, but I agree that her music has changed substantially. I'm not complaining per se...just making an observation. I adore Tori to death. I am so thankful for what she has given me. I realize she needs to change and her music needs to change, but I do miss the old Tori nonetheless. She set the bar SOOO high that disappointment was inevitible. Does that make sense? I'm not holding my breath regarding the new album, but I'm hopeful. Tony What's more likely? That an all-powerful mysterious god created the universe and then decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that he simply doesn't exist at all? And that we created him so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone. - Jodie Foster, Contact ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V12 #13 *************************************
