Guess I'm not a real tori fan, as I seem to be the only one dissapointed with tori's new album. Filled with non memorable songs and filler interludes. I feel like her message was lost in the song arrangements and characters. I will say some songs will jam live, like bouncing of the clouds and dark side of the sun.
I'm enjoying my new Fiest album quite a bit, and the new Bjork holds more promise. And I get to go see Damien Rice on the 11th, without Lisa which is a total bummer!

I've listened the new album just once and I suppose it's hard to repeat yourself, especially when "yourself" consist in some little masterpieces like the old Tori songs. I'm a tori fan but I think her best work is still on her older albums.
Anyway, your wallpaper is fantastic :)

Awww, I'm sorry you don't like the album. Tori kick's Bjorks ass anyway.

Love the desktop. You're so talented!

Have you had a chance to keep up with the blogs and live videos and such? The album takes some getting used to, I guess I just love it because I love the early 70s glam sound which she uses in a lot of songs like Body and Soul, Teenage Hustling and You Can Bring Your Dog. The album is really great, just give it a chance. <3

Beautiful header (as always)!

About the album, I can see why some fans would be disappointed... Of course, I adore the 70's glam rock sound and I'm a sucker for slide guitars. But you're right, this will be a great tour to see live.

I like the album. I can identify with Clyde's compassion, and I love Pip's attitude, and I like Santa's outlook. Not completely gushing over it, though. I do kinda wish they had let Tori "strip down" more on this album. On Beekeeper, for example, there were many songs I didn't think much of on the album, were amazing when she performed them solo, then I had to go back to the not-so-amazing album version. I don't think it'll be quite as bad with ADP. I also know what you mean by "filler" songs. Whatever happened to the b-sides? I miss those. But one thing I've come to learn with Tori is that some songs will pop out at you right away, while others take a while to grow on you. I didn't like most of Boys for Pele for a long time, and I had to hear Precious Things at the concert before truly appreciating it. Still, I hope you don't give up on it yet.

The wallpapers is gorgeous.

I haven't even heard all of the new songs yet, but I must say that Beauty of Speed, at least, might become one of my all-time favourites. Tori's music has always been the kind that grows on me slowly.

Oooh it's Santa, how pretty! I'm setting it as my desktop now. :) Anyhow, I wouldn't say you're not a "real" fan. I mean, not every album or concept is going to connect to everyone, sometimes what an artist expresses in a project isn't going to interest every single person. Maybe the theatrical Modern-Greek-Goddess-Tori isn't for you. Somethings Tori I don't like & I adore Tori. I really get annoyed with the lyrics in "Baker, Baker" for example. My "his heart was made of icing" what the heck? lol
Anyhow, if you have any interest in making more ADP graphics, maybe a Clyde wallpaper would be nice someday...(she's the Persephone Goddess of Spring/Hippie). ;)

I'm not as disappointed with it as I was with The Beekeeper. There are definitely some good songs on ADP, but I was VERY disappointed with the repeat of the concept from Strange Little Girls. I feel like she's out of ideas.

Anyway, gorgeous desktop!

Absolutely gorgeous background, dear.

And I agree; Tori's latest album isn't the greatest, but I think it was especially downhill after SLG or The Beekeeper *shrug*
