Dec 11, 2017solid work and better than the beekpeer. It's a Ambitious LP with a good concept (a little similar with Strange Little Girls)
Favorite Tracks: Dragon, Almost Rosey & Smokey Joe -
Jun 22, 2016Tori comes back with a Rock N' Roll album which is almost on par with her early works. Again this album is far too long and suffers from a lack of editing. Download: Teenage Hustling, Bouncing Off Clouds, Father’s Son

Apr 19, 2014Pretty exciting and different after that last sleepfest The Beekeeper. Doesn't reach the heights of her earlier greatness, but a very fun, very glam record where Tori takes risks and tries on new clothes and new musical styles and does it mostly very well. Fun and crazy record.

Apr 14, 2013A very good comeback after the lethargic and bland The Beekeper. The songs are diverse in style, but each one is haunting in her own way. Tori proves she can tackle genres outside her usual domain, but still provides material for fans of her older, recognizeable style.

JohnRDec 15, 2007Not 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.

JamieG.Dec 6, 2007Really 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.

DJA.Jul 1, 2007At 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.

TheKingOfRockJun 30, 2007Contains many great songs which somehow even fit together in spite of their variability, Tori is very talented musically, vocally and lyrically and here she uses this talent to produce great music that is fun to listen to. Rocks and kicks ass.i

DavidV.Jun 6, 2007Code Red and Father's Son are Tori classics! Anyone not appreciating this material is not paying attention! Try to get over what version of Tori Amos you want a record to be and instead accept each album at face value. They have their own distinct quality, each a slow digest, and I'd argue she's never made a truly bad album.

ssMay 13, 2007I'm sorry, but anyone who gives this album less than an 8 or a 9 must be on some strange sort of drug. Then again, Tori is ahead of her time, so it's understandable that some people just won't get it. That said, this album is mesmerizing, absolutely magic. A 10, 10, 10!!!

MeganAMay 13, 2007Simply one of her best albums ever-it's got something for all her fans and a few surprises as well.Buy this one for everyone you know.

MariaRMay 13, 2007It could be one of the greatest cds if it wasn't so ostentatious

WesSMay 12, 2007There is so much great material on this album. How can there be too many songs? More is better! If she had cut the album down fans would be complaining about all the b-sides not being released. Some of Tori's best work are her b-sides. This album includes the A's and the B's! Superb!

Too bad Posse is a conceptual wreck, because it benefits from some of the beefiest, most borderline-glam-rock moments Amos has put on record.
-
Ambitious, high-concept albums are one thing, but Posse's just a boring mess.
-
Some of her best work in years is here... There's far too much, though; cut to 10 tracks it would have been her one of her most significant records.
