I keep buying the albums because I miss the Tori that I love.. what happened to the piano girl? Is she really gone for good? I am just so disappointed in her! I don't know how long I can continue to hold out hope for a great album… some day maybe she'll have her husband step back and let some fresh blood in there.

I also have no problem with the way Tori sings lyrics. Obviously she has always twisted how to pronounce words to make songs rhyme since she started her career. She actually writes the songs that way so her voice sounds like another instrument – mostly the guitar.

I find it interesting when I bump into “old” fans of her music who feel as if she's dropped off somehow and becoming less interesting with her lyrics. However, the fact is, her lyrics, while in the first read taken out of context may seem like crap to some people, are far deeper than they've ever been now. Now she basically writes fairy tales instead of diary entries. It's kind of like watching a Lynch movie like Mulholand Drive – if you watch one scene on it's own, the movie looks like it makes no sense. But when you really understand the art, then it's not so stupid and bland anymore, is it.

I'll bet most people can't even tell you what each of the songs are about. Even still after 10 listens. And WHY they're all connected on this album – there's a reason it's long.

AND what bothers me even more is…for someone as 'artistic' as Tori, who speaks so much of using her specificity of choice and themes for all her albums, the 'visualettes' aka music videos are nothing more than extra footage shot from the era of “American Doll Posse”. For her to claim that this footage “inspired” her to write the songs for “Abnormally Attracted To Sin” is mere BS. As an artist, I would never try to pull a fast one like that, using old footage from a completely different thematic album and pass it off as 'visualettes' (?) for my new music. It just doesn't work. And the more I watch the videos, the more I see how they do not fit with the songs on the new album at all. I get tired of watching Tori pretend to take on characters, dressed in fashion dresses (she does look beautiful, but not the point) and walk slowly around different landscapes of the world. For a woman who tries to preach through her music that the role of woman is that of many, and not just a 'career' woman, mother, or beauty queen, she does just that with these videos. All I see is a pretty lady walking around in nice heels. That is not very visually interesting nor does it serve purpose to the album. If she thinks so, then I suggest she must reconsider her conceptual eye in her work. The visualettes are a little narcissistic in that its her doing the same thing over and over again…looking glamorous in a different get up. Enough. And please don't try to fool everyone into thinking that these videos filmed while on tour for “American Doll Posse” were really inspiration for the songs on the new album…I highly doubt it. I'm sure it was just extra fluff added to the album to make something out of…well, nothing. For the NEW album, she should have done something NEW. Not regurgitate old material claiming it supported her theme. I know Tori can do a better job. This just didn't cut it for me.
