    This reminds me of Y Kant Tori Read. I was really bummed out by the auto tune and super studio produced sound. Tori doesn’t need all that…with that being said far be it for me to dog on something that was cathartic for her in regard to the passing of her mother.

    Still in search of “a most elusive truth,” but using all of her talents to bring herself and her listeners ever closer to it.

    This is a gauzy and sometimes deceptively accessible album about falling all the way to the bottom and wondering if there’s any way back.

    At eleven songs, Ocean to Ocean is Amos’ lithest, most condensed album of original songs since 1999’s To Venus to Back. The album benefits from the tracklist’s economy, and for the first time in over a decade, there are no songs that stick out as filler or potential b-sides; rather, all eleven songs on Ocean to Ocean are vital parts of the album’s whole. Even on some of the less immediately engaging ones, like “Flowers Burn to Gold,” the lyrics offer some of Amos’ most striking imagery.
