The Beekeeper (Audio CD)

Customer Review

The roguish smile on the cover does not disappoint. On "The Beekeeper" Tori Amos shows actually also lively and humorous, and offers us diverse, interesting new songs that you might not expect. Instead sounds awkward sounds or depressive songs Tori most carefree and dissolved than anyone since "Boys For Pele" was used by her.
With "Parasol" succeeds equal a successful start animating with cautious temperament, so well suited to warm up. And the soulful "Sweet the Sting" one may then sometimes even vibrate gently Hüfen in organ and a gospel choir.
And already we have the first real highlight of the album: Power of Orange Knickers - a catchy, powerful duet that ever increases in the course. After dissolved pleasant "Jamaica Inn" is there a virtuoso piano playing to initiate the "Barons of Surburbia" - a voltage which is the song, by ever new courses maintains what was but I liked only after repeated listening.
After this demanding troubled piece of uncomplicated "Sleep with Butterflies" acts as a pleasant respite. The slightly rocking "General Joy" provides a good contrast to the interesting "Mother of Revolution", which somehow clinging to a 70's US melodrama flair. " Ribbons underdone "reminiscent of a lullaby and then gets me in the course in to shallow waters, but to find a nice conclusion with Jon Evans guitar at the end.
Now the division Humor: on "Cars and Guitars" sounds Tori so odd as it suggests it to the cover ratio Moderately sloping and unexpectedly followed "Wittness", stylistically between soul and jazz located you have to get used to these tori.. "Original Sinsuality" on the other hand, is a classic pearl, with its nearly two dramatic minutes it developed large Intesität But always stay nice and fluffy -. Because now comes the funny Ireland, whose name evokes very different associations, as these "Shalala" nee "Shenana "number.
With a disturbing Woodstock organ sound you get into the large-scale theme song "The Beekeeper", which opens into a great guitar solo after a few changes so completely without piano can me Tori's new affinity for the organ convince talk it remains interesting.. With "Martha's Foolish Ginger" is followed by a song, which is supported by a Trommelrhytmus similar and different again as it did in "Josephine". Thus we do not sink into all the dreaminess follows the grooving "Hoochie Woman" sung with a very nice serene irony.
"Goodbye Pisces" is so typical dreamy and delicate: Tori, as we know and love their music so the multifaceted, lively and dramatic "Marys of the Sea" is bursting with musical ideas and not so easy to grasp.. At the end of the album, it is then "Toast" then nevertheless times so beautiful sad - "nice" with an emphasis on sees itself ;-).
Yes, this, in comparison, fairly accessible album may liked without getting bored, and I am pleased Tori finally solved and easy to experience.
