GabbyWSep 16, 2006Yikes, this is bad. And I'm a fan. I like Raining Blood and Real Men. A couple of the other songs, such as the title song and Rattlesnakes, are mildly tolerable. The rest stink, in my opinion. Bad bad bad. Tori is known for being an angry rebel; I see her now as rebelling against her fans. "See how bad I can do - and I KNOW you'll buy it anyway!" Ick.

Toriphile25Jan 2, 2004Eekkk... what was she thinking with this album??? The only song I can even stomach is the title track. The rest just don't do it for me... and I'm a huge fan. This was a project and a CD that should've been skipped over completely! Nonetheless... she is still a powerful performer. The songs on this CD were much easier to digest when listened to live.

BenjaminBunnyAug 12, 2003At least she looks pretty on the cover. The music itself? Amos waves her faerie wand and presto! Some really great songs (all by MALE songwriters--get it? kewl!)get inapropriately transformed into yawny girly new-age doodoo.

KevinS.Jan 13, 2002A lesson for both lovers and haters of this egocentric performer: do not mistaken presence for art.

NickC.Oct 11, 2001Self-righteousness wrapped in poisoned honey. Always misreading rather than understanding, Amos is not even a good misreader; she is illterate to the point that she does not care to change the speaking subject in Eminem's song. A womb with no view.

RomannW.Sep 27, 2001This CD is, quite simply, bloody awful. Even when one allows for Ms. Amos's extravagances, one cannot ignore the fact that this album is virtually unlistenable. Only the almost-title track and the song "Time" (which is still overlong) can be salvaged from this mess. The remainder are unrecognizable travesties of music. And, for the record, I am a fan.

How deliciously perverse, and how very, very her.

MojoThe power and import of the record is undeniable. [Oct 2001, p.112]

"Strange Little Girls" is not a pretty album, but that's the point: the ugliness of male-female relations, which she exposes bit by bit with each cover, is a fact that is--in both pop music and pop culture--all too often ignored.
