Editorial Review:
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:
Glad I bought it! 5 Star Review
2008-04-02 - This an excellent album, and I don't only say that as a fan, I say it as a critical music listener and an artist myself. I didn't like some of the songs the first time, but on a hunch, I listened to them in the order of the lyrics in the insert and Voila! It all made sense! Lovely writing. Strange and beautiful!

A classic. 5 Star Review
2008-02-06 - This was the first album I ever bought of Tori's and, to this day, remains my favorite in her catalogue. In my opinion it is a masterpiece and showcases the heights of her amazing abilities. Easily one of the best albums of the 1990s, its lyrics are Mensa-grade poetry, the sounds intriguing, and the mixing technique astounding from track to track. It's complicated and dark, which may not be for everyone, but if you want an album that never ceases to reveal parts of itself... year after year after year... this is it!

Certainly one of the best of her albums 5 Star Review
2008-01-04 - Tori is a very talented musician/songwriter, and I have to say that this is one awesome album. You know when you get an album of your favorite artist, there are usually only about 4 or 5 songs that usually stick with you? Well not on this one, every song is perfect, this is one of those rare cds where there is not a single boring moment. I recommend anyone who is listening to Tori for the first time to buy this CD first instead of her newer ones. I like all her albums, but this is the only one that isn't cluttered with "filler" songs. All songs are spectacular, I just wish all her albums would be re-issued with all their original b-sides too, "Purple People", "Bachelorette", "Beulah Land", and "Never Seen Blue" were the b-sides to this album, and they are all masterpieces as well. In my opinion, this album was her most flawless project.

She's my cocaine 5 Star Review
2007-09-20 - I still remember the day that I became a "toriphile"-I popped in FTCH ( a friend had recommended it) and I was gone. I'd never even heard of her before that day, but I spent the next year acquiring everything and anything I could about her and by her. FTCH was and still is an amazingly competitive album, not dated at all. Though she has managed to disappoint me with "beekeeper" I still believe in her because I know what she can do, Little Earthquakes, Pele, etc. I would encourage anyone to listen to this CD because it just might change your musical life.

She's your cocaine? 3 Star Review
2007-08-01 - I get it and all, I'm just not feeling it. I guess that is the delineating factor when it comes to Tori: you either feel it with her or you don't. This one... not so much. There are some great sounds on this CD but lyrically I just did not feel that it was cohesive. Mine, thus, is rather dusty.
