Did /mu/ consider "Tales of a Librarian" a greatest hits. Tori was involved in the remixes of many of the songs on this album. Overall i love this album but I'm a huge Tori fan and saw her live 3 times in the 90's and early 2000's. What are /mu/'s thoughts on this obvious 10/10 album
>Did /mu/ consider "Tales of a Librarian" a greatest hits.
It's not?

Not overly fond of quoting Wikipedia but here is a snippet from the wiki of the album
Tales of a Librarian (complete title: A Tori Amos Collection: Tales of a Librarian) is the first retrospective compilation album by singer/songwriter Tori Amos. Given the option to be involved in the project, Amos elected to take a central role in the production of the collection, released in 2003 on her former label Atlantic Records.
Amos described the compilation as a "sonic autobiography", a title derived from her dislike of the term "greatest hits".[6] Recording under the premise that a librarian is a "chronicler", Amos pieced together the collection in accordance with the Dewey Decimal System,[clarification needed] extending the librarian theme of the album. Amos revisited the mixing of many of her own favorite songs from her career, focusing on those she thought were not fully realized in their original recordings and those that she felt explained her life story. Additionally, Amos added two new songs and two re-recorded b-sides: "Angels", "Snow Cherries from France", "Sweet Dreams", and "Mary", respectively (the latter two compositions were originally recorded in 1990 during sessions for Little Earthquakes).

DUBS PICKS NEXT ALBUM (NO REPEATS,FAKES, OR STUFF SO OBSCURE I CAN’T FIND IT)
Albums that constitute repeats:
>Jason Aldean - Old Boots, New Dirt (3/10)
>Animal Collective - Hollinndagain
Review of “Hollinndagain” by Animal Collective
====================================
For albums as abstract as Hollinndagain I like to imagine an abstract sequence of images that come in succession as I listen to the album. This album was great at evoking such images, and a few general themes arose.
The album begins with two long pieces (>10 minutes) in “I See You Pan” and “Pride and Fight”. The first track evokes a feeling of complete loneliness that is rarely ever found in music. It plays like a fragmented lullaby trying to make it’s way through the vacuum of outer space. “Pride and Fight” might be the best song on the album. It has multiple parts. The first part continues with the theme of loneliness but then flourishes into a more flowery strumming section and finishing with a transition to something that can be vaguely described as an instrumental tribal mantra. The theme of “tribal mantra” then becomes prominent through the rest of the album.
(contd.)
>>66122019
The rest of the songs aren’t as long. “Forest Gospel” transported my mind from images of a dark void to a (surprise surprise) forest with a sinister character. The last 5 tracks seem to me like a long precession of characters, each singing their own mantra. “Lablakely Dress” is the most frightening song on the album. I imagine a giant fish man singing it. In fact, it’s idiotic, but I imagine the fatass Zoro king from Ocarina of Time piercing through outer space at the speed of light, shouting the song of his people into the void. Sounds faggy? Well that’s what I was thinking about.
“Tell It to the Mountain” reaffirms the theme of tribal mantra and “Pumpkin Gets a Snakebite” I especially enjoy because it amplifies all of the latent chaotic and disjointed characteristics of the album for it’s finale. It’s difficult to come up with any imagery besides a chaotic nightmare that shifts from one scene to the next. Reading about it’s history makes it look like the album wasn’t even designed to flow all together. After all, the tracks are taken from two separate performances. But the songs have a similar feel underneath and it actually ends up flowing in a kind of messed up narrative, at least in my mind. The album is really different than what I usually listened to, and is a bit “inaccessible” as some would say, but I really enjoyed it. I have a feeling that if I listened to it again the precession of images would be totally different. This album deserves a longer analysis that this board’s space doesn’t give me and the album itself is worthy of multiple relistens.
8/10 (worthy of relistening and reanalyzing)
DUBS DECIDES NEXT ALBUM. WILL STAY TO SEE WINNER THEN REVIEW WINNER TOMORROW.
