maybe why they ended up as one-hit wonders although Linda Perry did successfully write several big hits later on.

I was slightly disappointed by Drastic Fantastic at the time too, probably because at least 3 tracks from it were re-recordings of old demos KT had recorded when she was looking for a record deal just prior to her recording Eye To The Telescope. It seemed like she'd abandoned much of her folky sound in favour of a more rock-oriented one, which sounded very American, probably because she spent quite a lot of time out there too.
It took me 10 listens or so to get into Kid A by Radiohead. I hated it at first, but eventually it grew on me after a while, because I started to become intrigued with what they were trying to do on it, where they were becoming experimental taking influences from Autechre, Aphex Twin, even "Bitches Brew" era-Miles Davis. Not really an instant album, hence why it did divide fans and critics at the time but one that takes more than a few listens to get into. I remember confusing everyone in my office placement at that time with it, they were like "what is this?" "is this a song" and "this is rubbish", even my mum, bless her, dismissed the track "Everything In Its Right Place" as "funeral music".

the beekeeper was not THAT bad, problem was it had too many songs including some that might had been just b-sides in the past but the album still has many great songs among the bad ones you could easily pick up 10 songs and make a great album which sure you can't say about the next 2 albums she did after that, American Doll Posse and Abnormally attracted to Sin, these 2 I really think are bad and there are bareky any decent songs on it... Well it’s biggest disappointment and the quality dive from Scarlet - Beekeeper was huge and genuinely before then Tori could do no wrong. Never forget when I first heard ‘Sleeps with Butterflies’ and thought I would hate this if it was any other artist and it was my favourite. ‘Ribbons undone’ too - ewww! Personally I quite liked a few songs on AATS - ‘Give’, ‘Starling’, ‘Welcone to England’, ‘Fast Horse’, ‘Flavour’ and would put it higher than TBK which I’d rank with ADP as her worst. But it’s all opinion anyhow.
