Review
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With her haunting solo debut Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos carved the template
for the female singer/songwriter movement of the '90s. Amos' delicate,
prog rock piano work and confessional, poetically quirky lyrics invited close
emotional connection, giving her a fanatical cult following and setting the stage
for the Lilith Fair legions. But Little Earthquakes is no mere style-setter or
feminine stereotype -- its intimacy is uncompromising, intense, and often far
from comforting. Amos' musings on major personal issues -- religion, relationships,
gender, childhood -- were just as likely to encompass rage, sarcasm, and defiant
independence as pain or tenderness; sometimes, it all happened in the same song.
The apex of that intimacy is the harrowing "Me and a Gun," where Amos strips
away all the music, save for her own voice, and confronts the listener with the
story of her own real-life rape; the free-associative lyrics come off as a
heart-wrenching attempt to block out the ordeal. Little Earthquakes isn't always
so stomach-churning, but it never seems less than deeply cathartic; it's the sound
of a young woman (like the protagonist of "Silent All These Years") finally
learning to use her own voice -- sort of the musical equivalent of Mary Pipher's
Reviving Ophelia. That's why Amos draws strength from her relentless vulnerability,
and that's why the constantly shifting emotions of the material never seem
illogical -- Amos simply delights in the frankness of her own responses, whatever
they might be. Though her subsequent albums were often very strong, Amos would never
bare her soul quite so directly (or comprehensibly) as she did here, nor with such
consistently focused results. Little Earthquakes is the most accessible work in
Amos' catalog, and it's also the most influential and rewarding.
