Abnormally Attracted to Sin by Tori Amos by Sam

You can have your foot fetishes and weekend gang bangs, because for my money nothing is hotter than an angry woman playing piano.

The angriest woman of them all (and by some accounts fairest) returns for her tenth album Abnormally Attracted to Sin, which as its title suggests is primarily about Tori Amos’ ongoing struggles with organized religion and the men who love them.

Part protest song and electric dirge, “Police Me” and its droning bassline does Confucius proud as Amos futilely deliberates another esoteric philosophical query, “Perhaps the answer to the question/Lies in the question.”

Amos cracks a wry smile and makes the most of her mortality on the carefree “Not Dying Today”, whose bustling chorus shows actual glimmers of hope, “Music, good friends, I’m not dying today/I may be six feet under full of wonder/I’m not dying today.”

    I’ve been an avid, unquenchable listener of Rock Music, since The Beatles did Revolver.
    To-Date; I’VE NEVER PURCHASED/PLAYED ANY MUSIC OF ANY KIND BASED ON THE SEX APPEAL/OR NICE-BUTT OF ANYONE.
