 Salvaging Beauty From Loss
All the elements on choirgirl are distilled in "Hotel," which moves effortlessly from techno to baroque to piano thrash, never losing its harrowing feel.
The only things keeping choirgirl from being a perfect album are a few cloying moments in songs like "Northern Lad" -- which sounds too much like something Amos would have sung in bars 15 years ago -- as well as Amos' occasionally cryptic lyrics, some of which may never be translated into common English.
The tension between her desire to devote all her energy to her career and her desire to be a mother has taken its toll on Amos, and that message rings loud and clear here.

After the lengthy Boys for Pele her new disk From the Choirgirl Hotel seems like a wind sprint.
Was a blissful marathon ran to perfection, From the Choirgirl Hotel falters more often, but avoids impaling itself against the wall and recovers nicely.
When the songs are dominated by her rippling piano and astonishing voice like on "Playboy Mommy" and "Northern Lad" it's perfect, but other times like on "Hotel' and "Pandoras' Aquarium" some of the fat should have been trimmed.

And "Songs From the Choirgirl Hotel" is as timely as any of her albums and one of the best, if not THE best Tori album.
For this reviewer, her best numbers on Choirgirl come when she mixes her new-found electronica stylings with her conventional crowd-pleasing piano riffs on, namely, "Black-Dove (January)" and "Jackie's Strength." Needless to say, the album is very versital, while still revolving around her love for the piano.
While not as good as her earlier albums "From the Choirgirl Hotel" is a very nice addition to your Tori Amos catalogue and a very good album to own.

By the time From The Choirgirl Hotel reached its anxious audience in 1998, Tori had built one of the most fanatical followings in pop music.
With a single graceful extension, Tori Amos spanned the chasm dividing acoustic and electronic when she produced From The Choirgirl Hotel.
Take, for example, the intrinsically tribal "Hotel" in which seemingly calm lyrics and instrumentals make their underlying passion violently apparent by launching themselves into a whirling array of aural fury -- burning red and wild like a fire ablaze in the middle of the night.

 Tori Amos, From The Choirgirl Hotel - Review

She is still a masterful weaver of images, able to take the ethereal and shape it into something so solid, so tangible, so alive, you can feel its presence right beside you.
From The Choirgirl Hotel is about Tori adding new elements to her repertoire, not abandoning her highly original and intimate style that so many people initially fell in love with.

 Rolling Stone : From The Choirgirl Hotel : Review
On From the Choirgirl Hotel, Amos comes clean with the rock & roll that's always driven her, from as far back as when she stormed out of her rehearsal room at the Peabody Conservatory.
A woolly jam dynamic pervades Hotel, from the paisley metallicism that kicks off "Spark" (the current single) to the grooving dream world of "Liquid Diamonds." Throughout the album, Amos throws herself and her various keyboards into bass-drum-guitar ensembles augmented by percussion loops and string sections.
On songs like the technoish "Hotel" and the beat-happy "Raspberry Swirl," moreover, she screws with timbre, lyrics and meter in the proud pop-collage tradition of Nineties artists like My Bloody Valentine, the Smashing Pumpkins, Björk, U2 and Garbage.

From The Choirgirl Hotel is my favourite Tori album and iieee my favourite song.
I love Choirgirl too, but I find that many songs on that one are mostly fit for a band, like Venus and much of SLG.
she did play so much of choirgirl on her '97 tour, maybe she just felt that she'd played enough and assumed ppl going to this tour were there on the last one.

 The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - TORI AMOS--FROM THE CHOIRGIRL HOTEL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I had thought that hearing the new songs live would prepare me for the album (and they were *great* live), but the live arrangement of the new songs were much more straightforward than the effect-laden tracks on the CD so I really wasn't ready at all.
I was a bit concerned that this CD was too instantly likeable and might not have the staying power of Boys for Pele for me. But even though I liked it almost immediately, I have yet to tire of it.
I still like Little Earthquakes best then Under the Pink, then From the Choirgirl Hotel but i have to give it time to grow on me. i usually ignore that masturbatory Boys for Pele thing she released.

 Tori Amos From The Choirgirl Hotel
And although the subject matter is what you expect from Amos, the lyrics are among her most abstract creations and the album is very much a group effort.
Atmospherically recorded in a renovated 200-year-old English barn, From The Choirgirl Hotel is much less about Tori and the piano than her other three recordings.
But From The Choirgirl Hotel is best at its most simple--take for example the simple grace of "January Girl." Built completely around a fragile, spare, haunting melody, "January Girl" is almost ruined when it moves into the Tori-esque epic chorus.

 Salon Entertainment | Sharps & Flats
Amos' latest release, "From the Choirgirl Hotel," features her signature piano style and arcing howls, as well as familiar themes of failed love affairs and childhood sexual abuse.
One wonders if Amos' inaccessible stream-of-consciousness lyrics will ever find their way back to the home-hitting lucidity of "Little Earthquakes." Still, 54 minutes in "Hotel's" twisted therapy chamber is enough to leave you with Amos' rhythms and addictive howls lodged firmly in your dirty little mind.
Stay with the man. His ultimate objective remains the expansion of pop music's canvas, but a real rock 'n' roll heart beats proudly south of his Hofstadter brain.

Nude as the News: Tori Amos: From The Choirgirl Hotel
From The Choirgirl Hotel, Tori's fourth album, finds the singer straying from her original me-and-my-piano sound, opting instead toward full-out musical accompaniment -- a decision that might just bring her a more mainstream audience.
That is, of course, if it weren't full of typical Amos truisms such as, "You're only popular with anorexia." And that's what's so great about Amos: Her sound may change, but her ferocity remains.

Her trademark piano is there but the addition of a band, drums, loops and electronic effects add a further dimension.
She meets fans halfway with this first single from the imminent, much-anticipated new album, ``from the choirgirl hotel,'' by infusing the song's complex, piano-driven structure with a sticky chorus and ample use of scratchy angst-rock guitars.
