- Like Menju, I think Mac's guitar work on Scarlet's Walk (particularly I Can't See New York) is good.
- Little Earthquakes (the song) has never been something I liked, and the majority of live performances are insufferable
- There was a moment when AATS had just come out and I was super-depressed, and the "so let's be strong, you and me..." bit of Maybe California almost made me cry walking down the street.
-Cooling was better live without the Brambles verse. Tori always seems to handle the transition awkwardly
- I wish Beauty Queen was not on Pele. I understand why it's there, but it's such an unnecessarily off-putting beginning.
- I have always re-sequenced Tori's albums to include b-sides aside from Pele
- Most of TBK has been redeemed for me in the last few years due to live performances. (Ribbons from Zurich 2010, Jamaica Inn in 2009, etc.)
- I would've much rather had pop!Tori along the lines of Liz Phair/Jewel than the adult-contemporary/faux rock Fori we got from 05-09.
- Cruel is the only bad part of Choirgirl. The album would be much better without it. (Live, it's always amazing though)
