Tori Amos is rarely short on ideas: On 2007’s American Doll Posse, she took on the personas of five feminine gods from Greek and Roman mythology. But she’s spent the past five years in a songwriting dry spell that no novelty could mask. Thankfully, on Abnormally Attracted To Sin, she again has worthwhile music to…

After the high conceptualism that lorded over 2005's The Beekeeper and 2007's American Doll Posse, singer and songwriter Tori Amos has decided to return to the relatively simple songs-as-songs approach on Abnormally Attracted to Sin.

this uncompromising, intelligent artist clearly hasn’t lost any of her passion for good music...Tori Amos is a bit like Marmite – it’s impossible not to feel something strongly towards her, be it positive or negative.

Tori Amos's 'Abnormally Attracted to Sin' emerges as a thoughtful, dense exploration of matters of faith, sanctimony, and vice.
