Synopsis

(Music Sales America). This is the matching folio to Tori Amos' sprawling and ambitious 9th studio album that debuted at at number five on the US charts, spawning the hit single "Big Wheel." Political and confrontational in nature, the songs on the album are presented from the viewpoint of five different characters that make up the "American doll posse" from the title. With over twenty tracks, this is an album brim-full of excellent art-pop, all testament to Amos' skill and longevity as a singer-songwriter and performer.
