There's news in Tori land: the new album title has been announced: Abnormally Attracted To Sin. And again I find myself disappointed by the title. ADP was a title I disliked, and now there's going to be another album with a horrific title attached to it. And really, I wanna get excited about the new album, maybe even a new tour. But I'm not. I haven't been excited over Tori for a few years now and I'm so sad about that. Ten years ago everything Tori had me excited, made my heart skip a few beats and now...just numbness. Not even remotely excited about the new album, but actually quite scared it will be yet another overly produced concept album. With even less pure music on it, but more added strings, poorly edited and produced. Like TBK and ADP, which both sound so..dull and...flat and...empty.
Ten years ago Tori meant the world to me. I could look at pictures of her and see the beauty of her soul. She was shining, sparkling. Now there's the botox and the wigs and she looks like a doll with no real expression anymore. And then there's also the music. I'm not asking her to still make albums with themes like BFP and/or FTCGH. I'm asking her to release an album full of strong, good songs and even better sounds and music. Whatever everyone thinks of SLG, the sound and her voice on that album are fierce. Same goes for TVAB. SW is okayish as well, though even there everything seemed to have been flatten out a lot. TBK was just awful sound wise. Really, really awful. And while ADP contained some nice songs, the entire album was again, poorly produced and just sounding really flat and empty. The songs don't grab me anymore. Ever since TBK I don't find myself listening to songs over and over again, discovering new and hidden sounds in songs. In fact, I find myself skipping those albums more and more. Because the music isn't doing anything for me. And then I listen to UTP, Pele, FTCGH, TVAB and even SLG and get moved.
I'm just sad. For so many years Tori was such a big part of my life, for so many years she meant the world to me. And now it seems as if we're both going our own ways and I have to say goodbye to a very dear friend. And it leaves me very upset.
So please let this new album be good and brilliant, despite the album title. I don't want to say goodbye to her yet!
