197: You Can Bring Your Dog
[SIZE=4]American Doll Posse (2007)
[SIZE=3]"I'm not making any promises
You'll be too busy boy
To sue for her damages
I'm not making any promises
But you still that something pretty boy
You still got that something as a man
You still got something
Of this I know"

More rock Tori! She had a few of those in this album. This song is sung by the doll Santa. I don't really have much I want to say about this one, so I guess I'm moving on.
196: Giant's Rolling Pin
[SIZE=4]Unrepentant Geraldines
[/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=3]"In case we have
Rolled our little world too flat
When the giant's rolling pin
Will roll the truth out
So that the whole world can dig in
To Beth and Marlene's pies"

It's not really that bad, it just doesn't feel like a Tori song to me. Kind of like how the whole Night of Hunters album doesn't feel like Tori Amos at all (And how the Gold Dust album shouldn't exist at all). It almost feels too upbeat in a way. Still, even to be ranked as "low" as 196, I do like this song a lot.
195: Caught a Lite Sneeze
[SIZE=4]Boys For Pele (1996)
[/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=3]"Building tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Couldn't stand it all
Mr. St. John just bring your son"

*Gets threatened with machetes and chainsaws* ...hear me out.
It's effectively a break-up album, so there are a few songs with lyrics like this. It's not really my jam but this one has a brilliant tune. I actually like the use of harpsichord in this one! It's the only song that I do. I think for the main melody, the harpsichord actually works better than piano for this one. This had the best ensemble of the album, even if the percussion isn't real drums. It does feel rather techno-y, almost a sneak peek for the next album, where Hotel would be a sneak peek at the album after that. I just think this song is way too overplayed. Honestly, as a piano solo, this song really bores me. Overall, as an album, BFP was a big hit for me the first time I heard it. The second time it really started to grow away. Completely the opposite to what Venus and Back did for me - To Venus and Back is now my 3rd favorite album (2nd being The Beekeeper and 1st being Scarlet's Walk).
