Song Premiere: Tori Amos' 'Big Wheel'

i have to say i agree with PrincessPPPPPeach. her music seems less inspired, less organic than it was. there's a few good songs on adp, but this is the second consecutive weak album she's made. i love tori to death and have for eleven years but i'm not going to be one of those people who worships everything she does just because she did it. if it's not good i'm not going to be blind to it. she needs to find her spark.

Scathing rhetoric as a talent? LOL Yeah right. Anything to save face from being called out on being a fucking hypocrite who practices idol worship. Attack myself before others do. Ok, hun. I adore Kate Bush more than anything and I could totally deal with someone saying they dislike her music. I unlike you can accept opinions as nothing more than opinions. Another reason why perhaps Tori has some of the most hated fans. Glennon, I can't wait for the tour either to hear her older songs. :D

New Found Glory? funny. Try Laura Nyro. Try the Queen of them all Kate Bush. You're such a fuckin hypocrite, so quit acting as if you don't judge musicians/music. Quit acting so damn holier than thou. Pathetic. You just judged New Found Glory and their fans. Can YOU do better than them and all of these other emo/screamo/whatever bands. Chances are, No you can't. No, its just Tori that you're so protective over....idol worship behavior. *rolls eyes* Anytime a fan doesn't like something of hers, you blow a fucking gasket. Fans who have such agreeable behavior are so phony and easily brainwashed. You can't possibly like EVERYTHING by a certain artist. Im-fucking-possible. No, I can't make music as well as Tori, but she puts it out there to be heard by the masses, so it's my RIGHT to form an opinion on it whether you like it or not. Opinions. Opinions. OPINIONS. Tell me Kate Bush sucks and I won't go off. See? Maybe it's you who needs the "cooling".

Even at 52, I still enjoy listening to new music. In my top five favorite catalogs, Tori and John Lennon/The Beatles will always be tied for first place. But I am not sure that "Big Wheel" will have repeated play at my house and thats alright. I am sure that there will be other songs on the cd that will grab me. Can't wait for the tour.

Right on, right on! Raisin Girl! =-)

I live by a philosophy I think some people on this comment board should try: Before you decide to bash, crucify, and otherwise mangle someone else's work with your tiresome whining, you should be able to do something that's all-around-better than the work of the person you're trashing. And those of you trashing Tori can't. Want to know how I know this? Because if you had any talent to speak of in any area, you'd not only be able to recognize the talent behind Tori Amos' work, whether it catered to your musical preference or not, but you'd be too busy making something worthwhile to trash someone else.

Poor Tori. As a leading feminist voice in the music industry, she attracts a lot of intelligent people to her music...and a lot of whining, self-absorbed, overdramatic pests that, had they been born a generation or two later, would be listening to Newfound Glory, wearing thick-rimmed glasses, and ending every other word with "xcore."

And to those of you who would argue, "Well look at you, to trash THOSE people, you must not have a talent, either." Scathing rhetoric, my dears, IS my talent.

I think everyone just needs to chill out and stop judging her and her work(for those of you who are jusdging that is). Tori is an artist, and within her is a very strong creative force and if she doesn't feed the force, and constantly progress and change then she'll starve to death, as all artist will. C'mon people...Tori has the right to change her music....I keep hearing all this blah blah blahg about how she should keep her music like L.E., Pink and Pele...GET OVER your stagnance in that time period seriously...She has the right as we all do to move through time and change when change is needed...I give her a thousand toasts for being who she is and not worrying what everyone else thinks. I think it's great she is constantly trying new things with her music and her herself lyrically.

Oh and P.S. people

Don't forget there is a story behind everyone of those albums, and if you just don't get it, you aren't meant too!

The country rock sound is not typical Tori, but is does go with the theme of American life, southern girls, big wheels, and whiskey. A fantasy ideal of American life in the "heartland". I give it 4 stars. Personally, I like that Tori tries different styles on her songs and hardly does the same thing twice, it keeps her music interesting. When I want to hear early Tori, I'll listen to Little Earthquakes.

Heard the new tune on the radio, didn't know what it was, had to look it up--and yay! It was Tori! I like her from back in the "Crucify" days, though I haven't been with her on some of the albums since then. Delighted to hear her, and to hear she's got her edge back.

It's not just that she's calling herself an MILF--it's the whole attitude, and that's just one of the lines that etches it. It's "I'm an M-I-L-F, don't you forget!" Like she's saying, "Listen, buster, I know you think you're God's gift, but save it, because I'm the big wheel here and if you don't have the wit to realize how much luck is in your lap, I might just walk away and find some other arm candy that can keep up with me." Great fun to hear.

Crystalline is the reason why everyone hates Tori fans.

***I think this one is a big miss.***
And your opinion matters more than anyone else's...why?

I never said my opinions mattered more, I said I THINK it's a big miss, and even without the emphasis on "think", it still would've been MY opinion. I'm entitled to that just like you're entitled to think "Ireland" is some masterpiece whereas I think it's a big piece of shit that belongs in a car commercial advertising soccer mom vehicles. you're super retarded for getting upset over another fan's opinion. You're comparing a well written song like "Cornflake Girl" to this tripe? LOL LOL LOL!!!!! Any idiot can see how much more complex the instrumentation was on Cornflake Girl. "Big Wheel" and "Cornflake Girl" sound like they come from two totally different genres. "CG" isn't honky tonk Big N Rich style country. I think "CG" has a more Celtic element to it. Regardless, country music has nothing to do with my dislike of "Big Wheel".
