Do not listen to Segundoleo26 - they have just copy and pasted their response from some bland nothing review from Slant, some wanna be critic company, who don't know what they're talking about. -
Oct 30, 2021Wow! What a ride!! This is her best work yet, and I'm including little earthquakes!!! Honestly, this is breath of fresh air and you need to do yourself a favour and listen to this amazing album

Oct 30, 2021This is Toris best work in years. You'll want to hear this one. She seems to evolve every album, and sometimes it doesn't work (for my ears at least), but here she gives us some of her best work, a true continuation of the work we all loved and an album that will bring you back to the 90's and into the future. Pure bliss.

Oct 30, 2021Beautiful and innovative! She has completely transformed, but in a way that is respectful to her fans. This is what new tori amos should sound like, and it's brilliant.

Oct 30, 2021Just amazing.. best work in 20 years. Absolutely astonishing how she still can do it at almost 60 years of age. She’s just like a fine wine.

Oct 30, 2021In my top 10 albums of the year for sure. Such a personal album, and her vocals and the production are top notch. “Flowers Burn to Gold” is stunningly beautiful, in particular, and a love letter to her mother, I am assuming. A new Tori album is like Christmas morning for me and this one didn’t disappoint. I’m also becoming more fond of it as I listen.

Oct 30, 2021She really benefits here from keeping the songs tight and focused. Some of her albums tend to indulge in meandering. Here, she has cut the fluff and presented us with an edited collection of 11 really well produced tracks, a few are standard fare for superfans, and a few are unexpected new sonic shapes.

Oct 30, 2021Ocean to Ocean is a great album and continues the journey she has been on since the release of 'Unrepentant Geraldines' when Tori returned to her music after a foray with the musical 'The Light Princess'. The album is full of great songs, my favorites are; Metal Water Wood, Speaking With Trees, Spies, Addition of Light Divided, Devil's Bane, How Glass Is Made, 29 Years.

Oct 30, 2021Fantastic album! Her best in years and years. Beautiful layered production. Listen with good headphones or speakers.
-
Oct 30, 2021An intense ride of beauty and creativity. This album isn't some experiment in delving into unknown territory, its an aggressive leap into a world that tori is able to dominate. Each song has its own uniqueness to it, and each song will leave you wanting more. This album is the tori her fans deserve.

Nov 3, 2021Love this album. My favorite 'complete' album from her since Scarlet's Walk. I'm a fan since 1994 and on every album I find gems, but the cohesiveness of this one and the magic in the production, sound and mixing totally supports some of her most gorgeous melodies and lyrics. Also, love that it's just 11 songs - it really shines and I want to keep playing it.

Nov 1, 2021Tori rarely disappoints, and this is no exception. A stunning, beautiful quiet record that feels like a warm hug. Every Tori album is great in its own way, and this one is a standout to me.

Dec 3, 2021Still in search of “a most elusive truth,” but using all of her talents to bring herself and her listeners ever closer to it.
-
Nov 2, 2021This is a gauzy and sometimes deceptively accessible album about falling all the way to the bottom and wondering if there’s any way back.

Nov 1, 2021At 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.
