BlenderUncommonly rich and unfashionably gynocentric, Scarlet's Walk makes the personal universal, using the stories of women lost, left and unseen to chart a map of the American psyche. [#11, p.124]
-
A magnificent, epic take on American history and mythology.
-
SpinAs usual, her melodies stubbornly refuse to turn into hooks, preferring to twirl into new territory. But her approach suits the material, which flows like the colors on a weather map, from Los Angeles to Nevada, from New York to Virginia, gathering thunder along the way. [Nov 2002]
-
Amid all the elegantly sweeping, minor-key arrangements are the usual aggravating moments.
-
Yes, it’s a concept album, but it’s not crap. Actually, Scarlet’s Walk is very suitable for an artist with Amos’ capacity for spewing drama from her intense and highly articulated words.
-
Walk isn't groundbreaking as much as typical Tori Amos--a dramatic menagerie of atmospheric tracks filled with manic piano, morose characters and so many literary allusions you'll need CliffsNotes to figure 'em out.

Entertainment WeeklyCumulative effect? Soul-depleting. [1 Nov 2002, p.70]

Sep 12, 2018Never in her career has Amos seemed more confident in tone and more serious of the play of her lyrics and sadness as poetry.
