lip gloss boost! The sound of this album is almost hard to pin point, very much like lip gloss in space. This is my second favourite Tori album and my second favourite album of all time. There is an underwater and other-worldly feel about this album. it has a very glossy feel to it, very sexual and very intense. The only song I do not care for is i i e e e, but then I don't even dislike it that much. Key tracks for me are Spark, Black Dove, Jackie's Strength, Liquid Diamonds and Hotel. Jackie's Strength is one of the most gorgeous things Tori has ever written. Glossy, polished sound, wicked vibe, sexy as lip gloss. Two thumbs way way up.
Very Disappointed
If I hadn't wanted the cover art, I would have bought it on iTunes. CD came without cover art in a case that was cracked in half. .
One of My Favorite Tori Amos Albums
It's truly great. From the Choirgirl Hotel is a totally awesome album, and perhaps a slight departure from Tori's more common method of songwriting. Some stand-out tracks are "Cruel," "Raspberry Swirl," "Jackie's Strength," and "She's Your Cocaine. "
This album has a heavy rock feel at times, which is most excellently done. I recommend it heartily.
Experimental and great

whoaaaooooohhh
on her Boys For Pele tour, she stopped in my city and I, on a lark, decided to go down and wait to see if she'd be outside by the tour bus (the venue she played at had lax enough security that calm fans could wait around to snag an autograph). this album will always have a special place in my heart. boy howdy! I got down there and there were a couple of other people down there as well and we waited and talked and got to know each other while we waited to see if Tori would come out and talk to us/maybe give us an autograph each.
Long story short, I got to see both shows for the price of one ticket (one of the people I was hanging out with gave me their extra ticket) and I'd been thinking during the shows that her next album should sound darker and have more guitars.
This is that album.
Then I was thinking that she should do a live album when I saw her on the tour for this album.
Then To Venus And Back came out.
Then I thought she should do a covers album.
You see where I'm going with this? Fortunately, it stopped there because I moved to California and she did Scarlet's Walk, but it started with FtCH.
