Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075678239922 Format: EP Label: Atlantic / Wea Manufacturer: Atlantic / Wea MPN: 82399 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1992 Publisher: Atlantic / Wea Release Date: May 12, 1992 Studio: Atlantic / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Granted, it was her timely cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that gained Tori Amos instant notoriety--if only because we all got to hear what Kurt was actually saying. But that track pales before Amos's cover of "Thank You"--a thoughtful rendition that reminds us just how many dimensions Led Zeppelin's music had. Also found on this 1992 EP is Amos's take on the Stones' "Angie," as well as "Winter," a beautiful ballad in which the artist lives up to her reputation as the American Kate Bush. On the other hand, the "Crucify" remix isn't particularly crucial--especially when compared to the more adventurous mixes Amos would commission for subsequent singles. --Bill Forman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Small Sample of What Was to ComeI was in high school in 1992 when this was released. Having insomnia, I was up late on a Friday night, flipping channels when I came across this stunning redhead at a piano. If I'm not mistaken, the show was ABC's In Concert. I'll be darned if I remember which song she was playing, but I do remember she also did "Me and a Gun", which was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. The true story of her rape at the hands of a fan, its effect was immediate and gut wrenching. The next day, I went in ...

Led Zepplin's Thank You, and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Tori successfully makes each song her own, this woman is amazingly talented. She plays the piano like no one else and the way she sings these covers gives you chills. Gorgeous and haunting ballads, this is one EP you won't regret getting. Buy it today! Rating:  - HauntingWe knew she could bare us emotionally with her own compositions, then she manages to unleash that same power revisiting covers. It was foreshadowing. Rating: - Stones? Nirvana? Zepplin? She's Got You Covered The Crucify EP, more than a single and less than an album, was my first taste of the way Tori worked back then. She was probably the most prominent and consistent EP-artist in the '90s, as nearly every single she put out was released in this format, with at least two, and usually three or four, extra, non-LP songs on it. If you were a completist, as I was (and still am), this made collecting Tori both frustrating and quite rewarding. To wit: while you would always get a profound feeling of accomplishment ... Read More Rating: - MagicalTori and piano provide a short, yet sweet 5 song collection. The CD begins with two original tracks and then serves up three powerful covers, the first of which is a cover of the Rolling Stones classic "Angie". Amos then goes on to cover Kurt Cobain's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". This acoustic version is haunting yet beautiful. The final track on the CD covers Led Zeppelin's ballad, "Thank You". Yet again Amos provides a worthy redition of a past song. Overall very well done. Not intended ... Read More |
