[...] her many wigs as possible. If you consider that we’ve already seen the visualettes for both Welcome to England and Maybe California then we’ve now seen 7 of her 17 song visualettes. It remains to be seen [...]

I like the new song, and am excited to get the new album. But I do think, like some of the others here, that she’s sort of sounding the same these days. The music to this reminds me of a few several other songs. But there’s a part in ‘Black Swan’ that sounds JUST like a part in ‘Yes, Anastasia’, so maybe repeating yourself is hard to avoid from early on, not to mention hundreds of songs in.

I have a short list of artists whom I have stayed loyal to since the early 90’s, and Tori is definetly one of them. However, I did not buy American Doll Posse. I really hope she goes in a different direction with this album, but if not, I know I don’t have to wait long to be surprised by a new idea from her. :)

I love Tori and have for many years. She is the greatest influence on my music (www.MythicaMusic.com), but I think she’s getting lazy both stylistically, visually and vocally. We’ve already been through the Posse girls. We get it Tori, you can act like other characters, but you are so busy playing an alter ego that you are not showing the world the real you. Be yourself! Be the girl you used to be during the days of “Crucify” and “Spark” and “Cornflake Girl.” Rip down the facade and the shroud, and let us see YOU, not a bunch of characters you’ve made up.

American Doll Posse was cool while it lasted, but if this new album coming out May 19 is a repeat of that, I will be sorely disappointed. It is chic and artistic to play an alter ego for a little while like so many before her (Bowie, Beatles, etc.), but do it for too long and it can consume you, and you can lose yourself.

I don’t know…I think its nice…But this is so not a worthy album lead off… I have a heard a few of the other songs off the albume and they are…nice. Just nice. I don’t know….I feel like a traitor but they just aren’t floating my boat.

Yes, this does seem like a remnant from ADPosse, and I was hoping for something a bit different, but, I gotta say, the lyrics are fantastic–like a little slice of life conversation, no?

It’s growing on me throughout the day.

as much as I love Tori I’m really not getting her lately..I haven’t really followed her persona stuff as it gets a little too wise for Europeans or non-American people to actually decipher what she’s going for with this..(and makes me feel stupid)..I feel the song has a negative vibe towards the UK(”Hell”,dark,moody) so her flaunting her flag jumpsuit on the streets of England makes this look even worse in my opinion,I dunno…a little help here?

The pantsuit scared me. I miss Old School Tori. She’s like a different person from the girl whose posters I used to hang on my wall. Boo for me. :(

She’s gorgeous, but I hate that jumper/pantsuit of the US flag. As the Go Fug Yourself girls know, it’s such a nono!
