206: Silent All These Years
[SIZE=4]Little Earthquakes (1992)
Tales of a Librarian (2003)
Gold Dust (2012)
[SIZE=3]"Years go by
Will I still be waiting
For somebody else
To understand
Years go by
If I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds
Raining in my head"

Yeah I know, there's not that much of a difference between the LE version and the GD version, except for the GD version being WORSE. It loses the dynamic, and the singing surprisingly isn't as good. Also, this song is a little overplayed, which is why I ranked it as low as this. It's always the same song. Never changed. If she played it and it was slightly different, I would probably like it a bit more.

205: New Age
[SIZE=4]Strange Little Girls (2001)
[SIZE=3]"Looking at my hands today
Look to me that they're made of ivory
I had a funny call today
Someone died and someone married
You know that it's my fancy to make it with
Franky and Nancy"

There's just not enough ensemble for it to be a piece for the whole band. The part that features every part of her band feels very sudden and forced, the guitar in the chorus in particular. It was certainly an interesting start to the album full of covers.

204: Teenage Hustling
[SIZE=4]American Doll Posse (2007)
[SIZE=3]"Maybe the riddle of this accident
Goes back to your gossip
With a ferocious strategy
You play wounded in his cockpit
But I think you forgot my days
Of teenage hustling"

[/SIZE][/SIZE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N1NPOKhxC0

The first time the doll "Pip" had a song on the album. From this song we can see Pip's personality quite well. Without picking apart the lyrics or anything, the music shows her personality quite well. I mean, those guitars are pretty angry-sounding in a way. It's certainly not a bad song, but well, you know, it's not the sort of thing I'm into in terms of music. This may mean the placement is a little bit biased, but I did also take the writing and unique level into account for this. It's quite different compared to most Tori songs.
