Not really a good enough album to make as a selection in this type of great albums list, in fact not even close to being one of her best recordings... but sometimes when we have limited room for selections sometimes a weaker recording ends up being the best of whats left and where her other recordings (although much better) were not good enough to make the cut.... Oh well I guess not really much was recorded in these 3 years worth the crap.... so I'll pick it I guess
With my 6th, I select in the category of “Album 2000-2002”, Tori Amos's 2002 release of "Scarlet's Walk".

A Sorta Fairytale
Taxi Ride
Crazy
I think 'A Sorta Fairytale' is simply an amazing track, pretty much carries the album for myself. Although I don't really think the other tracks stand up strong enough on themselves to fit into being a classic album. I do enjoy this recording for the fact that it does have a wonderful "album" feel to it. You don't listen to this recording as a collection of tracks but rather as a sit down and listen as a complete recording... and for that, I'll scratch this time period of my list and start looking for my next pick... enjoy
