Album Reviews
Fortunately, Beekeeper rallies in the second half. The title track brings back the flattering electronic sounds we heard on 1998's From the Choirgirl Hotel, and "Original Sinsuality" hearkens back to the harrowing starkness of Little Earthquakes. The frustrating part: With some ruthless editing and remixing, this maddeningly uneven eighty-minute disc could have been her best in ages.

I've been a fan of Tori since Little Earthquakes, and although she takes a different direction on each album she releases, The Beekeeper startled me the most up to that point. I was almost alienated by the maternal and sometimes sappy lyrics, and I was disappointed by a few melodies that seemed unusually simplified and pop-ish.
Although I didn't take to the album at first, understanding of the lyrics and background to each song created a grasp and deep respect for it. I find that with each of Tori's new albums, a background search of the stories or messages in each song will enlighten the listener to a whole new level of comprehension and appreciation that would never be expected upon just simply hearing it for the first time.
You will grow with this album- Enjoy :)
