There's been extensive comments added/subtracted to various versions of this entry purporting that Amos' work and career were thanks to various other female artists from her past. While it is undoubtedly true that any artist owes a debt of gratitude to those who have come before, it does not mean that those people directly influenced the work of said artist. Tori Amos has made extensive commentary on which artists she listened to while being reared, and the fact is that with the notable exception of Joni Mitchell, the female-singer-songwriter-set does not seem to have been a catalyst for her own creativity. Such artists as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zepplin are the artists to whom Amos attributes as her influences. Let's keep article entries based on fact, not on perception!

What The Hell is Up With This Article?

[edit]

It looks like someone borked the infobox all to hell on the chronology bit.

Major revision needed

[edit]

Unfortunately, this article is in very sad shape, like many of the articles devoted to Tori Amos albums. I would work on this, but I'm devoting my time to polishing up the Boys for Pele article. I've just tagged this with {{LEAD}}Washburnmav (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC) as the "intro" is ridiculously long. Hopefully someone will come along and whip this article into shape. This is Amos' most universally loved album, so there's bound to be someone out there interested in taking this on. --Pisceandreams (talk) 20:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to make this article more readable - split the main body of text into two sections, taken out the table of B-sides (I fail to see how an album can be "notable for its B-sides" as previously stated, and anyway all the information is duplicated on the articles for each of the relevant singles) and made the table of singles chart performance less of a headache to read, and updated the references where possible. This is far from the finished article, but I'm hoping someone who is more of a Tori fan than I am can now fill in the details.
