Tori Amos Little Earthquakes Music
by Tori Amos
Music Comments & Discussion
One of my favourite albums and one I still listen to regularly more than 20 years after getting my first copy. Tori's stark, raw and honest lyrics combined with beautiful soaring melodies make this an all-time classic. Tear in your Hand is a particular favourite from this wonderful record.

About this Music
Certified Double Platinum by the RIAA (3/99).Emotionally and musically intense, Little Earthquakes shows that the piano is as much a rock & roll instrument as the guitar. Tori Amos's debut (if one disregards Y Kant Tori Read, as one would be well advised to do) is at once listenable and challenging; she takes on every topic, from sex to gender to religion, in an uncompromising manner. Her music appears gentle at first, but this appearance is deceiving, as one quickly learns upon listening to the wrenching "Crucify" or the almost violent "Precious Things." By the time the album gets around to "Me and a Gun," sung hauntingly by Amos without accompaniment from her piano, the juxtaposition of Amos' sweet voice and the emotional complexity of her lyrics is both familiar and shocking. Sandman fans should listen for a reference to author Neil Gaiman in "Tear in Your Hand." --Genevieve Williams
