DanielROct 9, 2009This is another great production of Tori Amos. If someone were expecting another Little Earthquakes or Under the Pink, he's gonna be dissapointed. Im my case, i've learned to hear her records alone without keep constantly comparing one album to another. This record

KeanOct 17, 2009I didn't like it the first time I listen to it. But when I tried to listen to it again I finally got it. Its one of her best albums in years. I didn't enjoy an album of hers like this since From The Choirgirl Hotel. Great stuff indeed!

JulioAMay 29, 2009The more i listen to this album the more i like it... thats the good thing about Tori, she creates songs 4 a lifetime not for 2 weeks or 2 months. I still love and listen Little earthquakes, the Beekepper and all of her albums as if they came out 4 sale yesterday... AATS is a rare and dark masterpiece...hard at first but beautiful and captivating then, just like its creator.

JesseSJun 9, 2009Tori Amos is intensely generous with her music, including the fact that her albums are over 70 minutes. Why is it that critics consider this a detriment? One man's filler is another man's grandeur; at least give her credit for adding to fans' value palette. Critics: Cut the 25 minutes you don't like and give it another review.

ShaneKMay 20, 2009Yes, this album is long, but even the few songs that would've been B-sides have a certain charm, and I'm glad they are on the disc. I have been a fan for 15 years, and this is her most impressive effort in quite a while. Lush electronics and vocals, all beautifully wrapped up in trademark Tori weirdness. This album exceeded all my expectations!

ApaAMay 21, 2009Spectacularly haunting album. It's not as immediate and accessible as American Doll Posse but truly has more to "Give" as the haunting opener says. A dark, satisfying piece of work.

ScottAMay 22, 2009I really think the only fault on this album is its length. If it had been two LPs released at the same time or bookending the summer, it would have been perfect. I already adore every song. Key tracks are: Give, Flavor, Welcome to England, Curtain Call, Maybe California, and That Guy.

NicoleRJun 13, 2009There is a great collection of music here. There is always a story line behind each of the CD's. Again she has changed the production of her sonics shapes. The visualettes were a great added flavor to this collections. I suggest Buying this CD and listen and read the lyrics.

ripvJul 4, 2009Yes it's not as good as the early stuff, but I feel it's better than the last two albums, it's more interesting and easily more listenable, less irritating.

LoriMay 20, 2009A bit on the long side, but for the most part very enjoyable. I skip past 3 or 4 songs that seem like filler or b-side material, but I find myself really loving a lot of the songs more than I did her previous album American Doll Posse.

Occasionally vague, sometimes incohesive and a little self-indulgent it may be, but ultimately Abnormally Attracted to Sin is an abnormally attractive piece of work, and another fine example of the shining talent that is Tori Amos.
-
Sometimes her brains get a little too big for her Bible. But when she's banging on her piano over layers of lush electronics, she's got the rapture part down.
-
Abnormally Attracted To Sin turns out to be a collection of tracks that simply doesn't work as a whole because it can't properly be listened to in one go. Pity, for somewhere in amongst it all Tori proves that she's still capable of producing a storming album.
