'Little Earthquakes' showcases Tori Amos at her most direct and passionate. Many of the songs deal with reclaiming her Soul and voice, as demonstrated on 'Silent All These Years' and 'Me And A Gun', and it is not inconceivable that such songs were written as therapy after the well known incident of violence which was perpetrated against her person and spirit. The CD contains some of her least cryptic lyrics, and is therefore a good introduction to her music, although the recordings which followed were always intriguing and well worth owning.
