Crucify [EP] by Tori Amos

Pros: Three sparse, evocative covers.
Cons: Winter is just okay.

Tori Amos can sing a mean, moving, and utterly unforgettable cover song. She’s been doing it for years—first with the EP Crucify and then as years progressed with b-sides and even more impressively an entire album in 2000 titled Strange Little Girls. ...

Pros: Pre-electronic Tori; Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Cons: None.

While singer-songwriter Tori Amos' first album, a dabble into her favorite music genré, metal, was less than successful, this early EP, Crucify, with its generous helping of 2 originals and 3 rock n' roll covers, is a major breath of fresh,...

Pros: Fantastic song with some interesting and novel B-sides
Cons: None

Featuring the wonderful single from her first album Little Earthquakes, "Crucify" is by far one of the most personal songs for me from Amos's vast library of material and this single is one of the few singles I have in my collection. Asking the question...

Pros: 3 fantastic covers; Smells Like Teen Spirit & Winter are dramatically excellent
Cons: None

In anticipation of Tori's new album, Strange Little Girls, being released in late September, I thought I would write a review in returning to her roots. Well, ok, maybe not her roots, roots. Not those Y Kant Tori Read heavy metal, bad dye...

Pros: All songs excellent playing and singing
Cons: Only five tracks, 21 minutes

This was my first exposure to Tori Amos. Thankfully, I had not noticed her foray into glam with Y Kant Tori Read. Smells Like Teen Spirit was what made me get this. I heard it on the radio and was floored by it. The piano and the voice. Alone....

Pros: Its the Tori faerie!
Cons: none

For those of you who aren't very familiar with Tori Amos' work I must say this. Your an idiot! She has mysteriously occult lyrics, beauiful piano scores, and a vision like no other. Even her singles are amazing. In my record collection 'Crucify' is the...

Pros: Shows Tori's great range and flexibility.
Cons: I'd love to see more like this!!

This EP is a good short introduction to Tori. I've gotten a few friends hooked on Tori after lending them this EP and "Little Earthquakes". Her cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is truly inspired, and the cover of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" is a...

Pros: "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Cons: Too short!

There's a reason Tori Amos has pulled off what she has in the last 10 years. She somehow manages to satisfy the record execs without sacrificing quality. "Little Earthquakes," the full-length album that "Crucify" is on, wasn't actually her first album....

Pros: beautiful lyrics, striking vocals, a great cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Cons: not enough songs!

Tori Amos, as usual, has amazed me. Even though this is just a six song EP, the songs on it are worth listening to.
First off, there is the title song, "Crucify", which to me is a powerful jumble of expressive lyrics, high...
