Silent All These Years Reviews:
My first Tori 
2007-08-01 - Silent All These years was my first Tori. It was life-changing, and remains so. This is not the strongest version of it, but it's still worth a listen.
A re-release to promote a very worthy cause.
2005-01-16 - This is the 1996 re-release of one of Amos's career-defining songs about self-awareness and the boxed in feeling associated with rape victims - "Silent All These Years." This song was given a re-release to raise awareness for Amos's organization, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (R.A.I.N.N.). The standout title track is the untouched version from her 1991/92 solo debut album "Little Earthquakes." The second track is a live version of the song from her R.A.I.N.N. benefit concert in 1996.
A wonderful song... but that's all. 
2004-09-27 - Sure, SATY is a great song and all, but.. that's all you're buying. No B-sides or anything. There are better singles out there. (the SATY import, for example.)
Only Toriphiles will appreciate this CD single
2002-09-05 - This CD single contains only two songs, one of which is the standard album version, so I cannot give it five stars. Your average listener would probably not be able to justify buying this for one song only; for Toriphiles like myself, though, this is a 5-star item because it features a live version of one of Tori's best songs. Heck, I'd buy it just for the picture on the front, but that's just me. As I said, the first track is the regular version of Silent All These Years from Tori's Little Earthquakes album, so don't go thinking it is some kind of special version or remix. As for the live version of the song, it's a little different than I expected. Tori really slows down the pace of it, pausing at odd intervals in her customary way--it makes for a more personal, reflective, and sadder version of the song. It's beautiful, but I fear that only Toriphiles will be truly satisfied with it. If you don't know what EWF stands for, this CD single is probably not for you.
one star for each song
2002-02-21 - Tori appears on the cover in her "unlock the silence" shirt. The live track is from the "Live in NY" concert video (VHS), which is an excellent concert! This CD isn't really that exciting, but it is nice to have a "silent all these years" single on the shelf.
