General comments:
She is a Belgian artist and does the Tori thing. She has some amazing songs and a very fierce and beautiful style. She is amazing. Her cd and cover of Gary Numan is reason enough to worship her. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)

Comments:
I can't explain it: I love Mud Stories, but whenever I listen to this CD my mind just slides right off it. At the end of playing it I can't remember what it sounded like or whether or not I liked it. So I play it again and the same thing happens. For me it's the teflon CD. (Neile)
