Review

Nine albums in and Tori Amos is working harder than ever. American Doll Posse, with its great title, 23 tracks, and five archetypal personalities (all of whom resonate with feminine gods in the Greek and Roman pantheons) is an exercise in both excess and obsession. For starters, each of these personalities has her own blog. All of them have a distinct look. There's Pip with her streetwise standoff-ishness who sings about how her "Teenage Hustling" serves her in her adult life; she is also a very clever and intense "observer" (another important word for this record) of the political and surveillance situation in the U.S.; there's Clyde, a bit of a hippie who observes people and art from a perspective that is suspect of all male interpretations of the world (smart woman) and not the moment of encounter, but who that person is under the mask of it. Isabel is the glamorous photographer. If she exists anywhere but inside Amos, she is the fulfilled fantasy construct of both post-Freudian psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and the father of Deconstruction theory Jacques Derrida. She watches the watcher watching. The surface reveals whatever is beneath it, and the layer underneath that. And then there's Santa -- not Claus necessarily -- but she looks closest for some perceived beauty (hers or her observational object's is the question) that is invisible to that person. She strips the moment away and gets right down to the task of discovering it: "Wait. Let's look closer.." Then of course, the voodoo priestess Amos herself appears in the center; she is politically pissed off and motivated ("Yo George," the first track on the set is a personal send-out to the leader of the free world in 2007 -- "I'm allergic to your policies") and a proud, aware, socially conscious mother and protector who cannot be fooled. "Big Wheel," the album's most rock & roll track, is an anthem that reveals her to be free of all bondage and a self-proclaimed "...M-I-L-F don't you forget..." This outrageously long song cycle reveals these characters as individual "voices." Amos credits each of the five in her liners and plays piano and Rhodes behind them.

Musically, American Doll Posse is no less ambitious, and all the better for it. Though 23 cuts can become a Tower of Babel in song, Amos has written some of the tightest, most cohesive and diverse songs of her career here. There's Amos singing "Big Wheel"; there are the squalling heavy metal guitars in "Teenage Hustling"; the pumping 4/4 bassline throb of Clyde's "Bouncing off Clouds," with its intricate melody and shimmering piano work and layered backing vocals; the seductive blues-rock swagger in Santa's "You Can Bring Your Dog" that transfers itself into a quirky faux-ragtime melody before it breaks itself wide open and splits these two soundworlds in half. It's a number that's so sick with desire it reduces its object to meat. The brief "Devils and Gods," sung by Isabel is a ballad that peels back the veil to reveal an essential truth with harmonically shimmering acoustic guitars and lithe piano. Pip and Santa reply in "Body and Soul" with its enormous sonic attack where all the instruments are turned up to ten and pack a wallop with a fuzzed-up Jon Evans' dirty bassline and staccato piano that promises salvation through ecstasy, not sermons or violence.

Some of the best songs here are near the end, in Clyde's gorgeous ballad "Roosterspur Bridge," where Amos' piano guides the singer and Mac Aladdin's guitars whisper behind until Matt Chamberlain's spare kit work gives the words an urgency despite the languid pace. "Almost Rosey" (Isabel) is one of the very best mid-tempo autobiographical rock songs Amos has ever written. Its sense of dynamic, slippery rhythms and change-ups keep a constant groove and the listener holding on for every word with the swirling piano and syncopated drum work: "I once tried to comply/with an authority that would/Subsidize my wild side/but at this altar was sacrificed..." Pip's "Velvet Revolution" is a Spanish flavored poetic piano and guitar ballad in a narrative fashion that reflects Cesar Vallejo and the manifestos of Isabel Allende and a young Vaclav Havel. "Dark Side of the Sun," sung by Isabel, is a an anti-war song with its wailing lead guitars and the singer letting the grainy side of her voice underscore the lyrics with conviction. Pip's apocalyptic "Smokey Joe" is an entire cinematic drama with atmospheric walls of electronic noise and washes of guitar that compete with the contrapuntal voices in call and response execution. The final track, "Dragon," sung by Santa, is knotty, complex and lilting in some places and aggressive in others; it feels like it belongs somewhere else, but that's where the beauty lies. It's the place where healing happens in the heart of the eternal feminine. And it rings solidly true.

In sum, these dress-up characters are, no matter Amos' ambitions, simply reflections of her often contradictory nature as both a conceptual artist and songwriter. She is playing dress-up and not copping to it. It's not so much that she doesn't pull it off, but these characters and their strange views of the world, femininity, and the ruinous masculine come down to two things: observation and perception, and neither are always what they seem. These have always been part of Amos' expressed aesthetic. Perhaps speaking these through the kaleidoscope of different personas made it easier to assemble such a vast collection of songs for one album, to exorcise the obsession or simply to give life to it through excess. Whatever the reason, American Doll Posse is exhaustive and exhausting, and contains some of the finest material Amos has offered on record. As a songwriter her reach is higher, and when she grasps the gown's tail of her Muse, her grasp is tighter, and sure. Her musical vision and production skills are almost astonishing in places. American Doll Posse is a work that has its problems due to its sprawling nature. And yet, it's perhaps because of that sprawl that it makes a real case for the overblown and indulgent in rock & roll again.~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

American Doll Posse is the ninth studio album by singer-songwriter Tori Amos; it was released in 2007. Like her previous albums Strange Little Girls (2001) and Scarlet's Walk (2002), American Doll Posse is a concept album, which entails five female personae Amos developed based on Greek mythology. Musically, the album is a drastic departure for Amos. Having stated that the box set A Piano: The Collection (2006) was the summation of her previous work and the end of an era,[1] the album elicits a new chapter in her career and is her heaviest, most rock-influenced album to date.[2]

American Doll Posse serves as Amos's third and final album under her contract with Epic Records, as Amos announced a year after the album's release that she would be operating independently of major record labels.[3]

"Posse Bonus", "Smokey Joe", and "Dragon" were originally to be featured as bonus tracks on the limited edition version only, but were added to the full track listing of both versions prior to the album's release. "My Posse Can Do" is included on the DVD accompanying limited edition versions of the album, while the tracks "Miracle" and "Drive All Night" were available exclusively through different retailers, iTunes and Borders, respectively, as digital downloads for a limited time. In 2010, part of a demo disc for 1998's From The Choirgirl Hotel leaked online, including a previously unreleased track entitled "Violet's Eyes". The chorus of "Miracle" comes directly from this never completed demo.[4]

Development

Following songwriting during and after Amos' five-month solo tour in 2005, recording sessions commenced in June 2006 with longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain on percussion, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars at Martian Engineering in Cornwall,[5] like all of Amos' albums since From the Choirgirl Hotel (1998).[6] Due to the musical composition and nature of the album, Amos' principal band mates were present in the recording studio from the beginning of the recording session. After a month of tracking work, Amos continued editing and recording for the remainder of the year, as well as working on the promotion for her career-spanning box set A Piano: The Collection. Mixing work was completed by February 2007, and the album title was announced through a press release on February 20.

Prior to its release, Amos revealed that the album is political in nature:

The main message of my new album is: the political is personal. This as opposed to the feminist statement from years ago that the personal is political. I know it has been said that it goes both ways, but we have to turn it around. We have to think like that. I’m now taking on subjects that I could not have been able to take on in my twenties. With Little Earthquakes I took on more personal things. But if you are going to be an American woman in 2007 with a real view on what is going on, you need to be brave, and you need to know that some people won’t want to look at it.[7]

While Amos had hinted that she may bring back both the harpsichord (last used on Boys for Pele) and the Wurlitzer (used on Strange Little Girls and Scarlet's Walk),[8] only the latter appeared on the track "Dark Side of the Sun". Before the album's release, she made several comments about bringing a "warrior woman" out, as well as stating that the record would be a very different chapter from what has come before.[9]

The Doll Posse

The "American Doll Posse" of the title consists of five different female characters that Amos developed, representing different aspects of her own personality:[10][11]

What I'm trying to tell other women is they have their own version of the compartmentalised feminine which may have been repressed in each one of them. For many years I have been an image; that isn’t necessarily who I am completely. I have made certain choices and that doesn’t mean that those choices are the whole story. I think these women are showing me that I have not explored honest extensions of the self who are now as real as the redhead.[12]

Singles

"Big Wheel" was released as the album's first radio single in the United States prior to the album's release. Multiple radio stations refused to give the song any air time because the acronym "MILF" is repeated in the bridge of the song.[25] Despite the acronym, the single was successful on Triple A radio. Epic Records re-issued the single with the "MILF" bridge replaced with Amos singing "MI-MI".

"Bouncing off Clouds" served as the first single in Europe[26] and as the second single in the United States.[27] "Almost Rosey" was released as the third single as an internet-only release through MySpace.[28] Following the trend set by her previous releases with Epic as dictated by general music industry trends, all three singles released from American Doll Posse were promo-only singles, no commercial singles were produced.

Sales and chart performance

Upon its release in the US, the album entered the Billboard 200 at # 5, selling 54,000 copies, making it her sixth album to debut in the US Top 10 Albums chart.[29] Twenty-five percent of the first week's sales were digital sales, an increasing figure as per general market trends.[30] The album remained on the Billboard 200 for six weeks with its final position at # 186 for the week of June 23, 2007, before falling off the chart.[31] One year after its release, the album has sold 152,000 copies in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[32]

The album's debut at # 5 is the same debut position as The Beekeeper (2005), but with American Doll Posse selling fewer units. This decrease in sales is partially explained by the overall decline of sales in the music industry. At the time of the album's release, overall music sales for 2007 were down over 16% than the previous year's sales.[29]

Limited edition copies of the album were ruled to be ineligible for the UK Top 40 sales chart due to the inclusion of free art cards depicting each of the Posse members. According to an article on Amos' site, Amos chose not to issue a reduced packaging version of the special edition (as had been done with Scarlet's Walk).[33] As a result, the album's UK debut at # 50 is based only upon sales of the single-disc standard version of the album.

Release history

As with Amos' previous releases under the Epic Records label, American Doll Posse was offered in a limited edition, which includes two videos (a behind-the-scenes of her photo shoot and a slide show-style bonus track titled "My Posse Can Do"), an expanded booklet, and five postcards, one of each "doll".

iTunes offered a free bonus track, "Miracle", and a Ticketmaster concert pre-sale code for anyone who pre-ordered either version of the album. Standard edition versions of the album purchased from Borders included a code to download a different bonus track, "Drive All Night", while albums purchased at Target were accompanied by a poster featuring the five "dolls".

The full band tour for American Doll Posse commenced on May 28, 2007 in Rome, Italy. The European leg of the tour ended with a show in Ra'anana, Israel on July 21, 2007. The Australian leg of the tour, which commenced on September 10 and lasted the rest of the month, was followed by the North American leg which began October 9. The tour ended on December 16, 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Amos, using a Bosendorfer piano, Yamaha synth, and Hammond organ, was backed by Matt Chamberlain (drums), Jon Evans (bass), and Dan Phelps (guitar).

As hinted before the tour began,[12] one of the four alter-egos, complete in her own unique wardrobe, opened each show, performing as many as seven songs, followed by a costume change with Amos taking over as herself for the remaining two-thirds of the show. Three exceptions were the San Diego and Los Angeles shows, where two dolls opened,[36][37] and the Anaheim show, where two dolls opened and one of them returned for the encore.[38]
