The limited edition package with a bonus DVD - footage includes a candid conversation with Tori Amos talking about the inspiration and theme for The Beekeeper and the bonus track "Garlands".

The limited edition package groups the 19 songs into 6 different gardens- Roses and Thorns, Herbs and Elixers, The Desert Garden, The Greenhouse, The Orchard and The Rock Garden. To complement this garden theme the package includes a "Beekeeper" mix of flower and plant seeds.


One of her best

Okay, anyone who shops on Amazon knows that Marcel Marceau could read a phone book onto a CD and still get four stars, maybe five. So five means something might be okay and four or less is the kiss of death. But, five here, because although Beekeeper doesn't have the drama of earlier CDs, which sometimes featured great songs surrounded by filler, it's the most uniformly enjoyable thing she's done in ages and can be listened to many times over. Not many weak spots on it, and as usual, good value with well more than an hour's worth.

Love it!

Tori fans will love this one. Definitely a time-piece for a specific period in my life. The Power of Orange Knickers is one of my favorites. They are all great and very different from one another.


If you can overlook it's flaws, a good album lies beneath

Being Tori's eight studio album, some are surprized (and sad) to find that's it's mostly a step backwards... a big step backwards, especially for long time fans.

The worst part is, that it's really not a bad album. The problem with the Beekeeper is the production and it suffers from being too long. The untapped potential can be seen in the live versions of many of these songs where Tori's performances, rooted in improvisation, give huge amounts of life to this songs.

And that's what fans are used to, out-of-the-box Tori. And The Beekeeper is very formulaic. There are many gems in it though, Parasol, Jamaica Inn, the title track, Marys of the Sea, Original Sinsuality, Witness, Garlands, Toast, Barons of Suburbia... and another track found in A Piano, Not David Bowie leave no doubt that a shorter, better produced and not so formulaic Beekeeper would have been an amazing album.
