Description of From the Choirgirl Hotel:
For Tori Amos, sex can be a weapon, a spiritual offering, or an act of protest. It's certainly been the singer-pianist's big subject since her 1989 debut Little Earthquakes. But while her earliest compositions tried to punch every emotional hot button at once and came off sounding turgid and overblown, her new album packs a greater punch by toning down mock-symphonic excess in favor of stark, haunting tracks that contain veiled mysteries. Love cuts both ways on Choirgirl. Songs such as "She's Your Cocaine" and "Cruel" view relationships as vicious power plays, while the protagonists in "Playboy Mommy" and "Northern Lad" desperately seek salvation via emotional connection. Hypnotic, affecting, and frequently gorgeous, From the Choirgirl Hotel is Amos's most accomplished album to date. --Marc Weingarten
From the Choirgirl Hotel Reviews:
lip gloss boost! 
2009-10-14 - This is my second favourite Tori album and my second favourite album of all time. The sound of this album is almost hard to pin point, very much like lip gloss in space. There is an underwater and other-worldly feel about this album. it has a very glossy feel to it, very sexual and very intense. The only song I do not care for is i i e e e, but then I don't even dislike it that much. Key tracks for me are Spark, Black Dove, Jackie's Strength, Liquid Diamonds and Hotel. Jackie's Strength is one of the most gorgeous things Tori has ever written. Glossy, polished sound, wicked vibe, sexy as lip gloss. Two thumbs way way up.
Very Disappointed 
2009-08-26 - CD came without cover art in a case that was cracked in half. If I hadn't wanted the cover art, I would have bought it on iTunes.
One of My Favorite Tori Amos Albums
2009-07-01 - From the Choirgirl Hotel is a totally awesome album, and perhaps a slight departure from Tori's more common method of songwriting.
It's truly great. Some stand-out tracks are "Cruel," "Raspberry Swirl," "Jackie's Strength," and "She's Your Cocaine."
This album has a heavy rock feel at times, which is most excellently done. I recommend it heartily.
Experimental and great

whoaaaooooohhh
2009-05-27 - this album will always have a special place in my heart.
on her Boys For Pele tour, she stopped in my city and I, on a lark, decided to go down and wait to see if she'd be outside by the tour bus (the venue she played at had lax enough security that calm fans could wait around to snag an autograph). boy howdy! I got down there and there were a couple of other people down there as well and we waited and talked and got to know each other while we waited to see if Tori would come out and talk to us/maybe give us an autograph each.
Long story short, I got to see both shows for the price of one ticket (one of the people I was hanging out with gave me their extra ticket) and I'd been thinking during the shows that her next album should sound darker and have more guitars.
This is that album.
Then I was thinking that she should do a live album when I saw her on the tour for this album.
Then To Venus And Back came out.
Then I thought she should do a covers album.
You see where I'm going with this? Fortunately, it stopped there because I moved to California and she did Scarlet's Walk, but it started with FtCH.
