Way back in February or thereabouts, casby gave me Tori’s new (at the time) album, The Beekeeper. We watched the DVD interview and agreed that the album as a whole seemed rather forgettable and disappointing, but might well improve on further listens, and I took it away with me. I started writing song notes with the aim of eventually posting a review of some kind, and never quite got round to it (although my lj layout, which borrows from the album notes, hasn’t changed since). I stumbled across what I'd written tonight, while looking for something else, and in the true spirit of essay deadlines I ended up re-listening to the album and writing the rest of it. I haven’t read any other reviews on the album and most of this isn’t saying anything clever, but I remember when new Tori albums were exciting to half my friends list, so I thought you never know, it might be worth posting.
