comment: tori hadn't planned on making another album quite so soon, she was planning on starting a family, but she suffered a miscarriage, and soon after the songs started coming.  and like the writing of boys for pele, it became a healing process.  but tori wanted to be invlolved with other musicians, so out went the 'girl and the piano', and in came drums, guitars and synthesizers.  the piano was still there of course, but the album was developed around rhythm and the piano integrated with it.

quote: "i'd taken the 'girl and the piano' thing as far as i could, and i really wanted to be a player with other players. it was very important for my growth as a musician to play with other musicians instead of having them play around me."
