The singer-songwriter-pianist's ninth studio album is political, confrontational, and lengthy (at over 20 tracks)--and also falls under the dreaded "concept album" category, as its songs come from the viewpoints of five different characters.

John R gave it a9:
Not as good as Scarlet's Walk but much better than the Beekeeper. You won't like it on first listen, which is a good thing.
Jamie G. gave it a9:
Really great album, and a step, not a reproduction of past successes for Tori. Some truly spectacular tracks (Digital Ghost, Teenage Hustling, for example), and then some others that haven't grabbed me. All in all, its become one of those albums I listen to consistently and always enjoy to the point of distraction.
Bobby S. gave it a0:
i wish this woman could take a step back and realize how ridiculous she looks/sounds. she went off the deep end but wound up with nothing deep.
Ck gave it a4:
Big fan, but I just don't get this one. There are a couple of great tracks, but for the most part, ADP falls completely flat for me. While the Beekeeper was also not her best - can someone tell me which songs on ADP are better than Barons of Suburbia, Mother Revolution, or the power of orange knickers? Anyone rating this album above a 5, is seriously kidding themselves.
john j gave it a3:
It's overstuffed, bloated and full of mediocre songs. Unfortunately, like The Beekeeper, there is no progression or growth whatsoever. The music sounds dated and stale. Too bad. I'm a big fan of hers.
a lapsed tori fan gave it a7:
I stopped listening to tori around the choirgirl era, but i'm diggin this new stuff. it's good to be back!
DJ A. gave it a9:
At first listen, its good. Second, its too heady, you sense she's tried to hard. Third time, you still sense its worthiness. Fourth, you get it. Fifth listen and then on its a guilty pleasure and one it hooked. Amos worked harder than most to create this piece but at the end of it all its good music and when you can understand them, intelligent lyrics.
