Very, very cool. So much better than ADP or AATS on first listen!!

[glasscollector]

Just finished Nautical Twilight.... LOVED IT. Wow... I am just completely in awe. So beautiful.

And Carry is gorgeous so far. Oh man.

[elalmhicabalp]

Listening to Nautical Twilight... that voice. ouch.

[JRixlcvF]

Okay I have my lunch and am now listening.

[Ruiceara]

I freakin love the vocal on nautical! Love it.

[tevyrefficy]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[markkisil]

Nautical Twilight is lovely. I don't hear this baby voice people talk about.

[glasscollector]

I think her vocals are great! no complaints.

[R1king]

Is "leaked" really the operative word here? Is that her official soundcloud page? Weird that there's only 3 people following unless she literally just made it today?

If it's not official it's probably gonna get taken down like SOON. lol.

[Ruiceara]

Fucking gorgeous. I totally get what Ninja said about it sounding it was done in one take.

And yeah, totes sounds like MWG, even the production.

[amannddo]

OMG I love it. Vocals are better than ADP... maybe even TBK.
The instrumentation is beautiful, no doubt! And the lyrics... :*(

[elalmhicabalp]

They're both ok. They just don't leave much of an impression on me. They could've been nice background music but her voice is not very pleasant.

[panholio]

Wow. This is... what she should have been doing for the last 10 years. I actually love her singing. She hasn't had pronunciation this good in, like, years.

[juliannamed]

So it's going to be a whole album of "Toast." How exciting.

[loolitoertego]

Listening to Nautical Twilight... that voice. ouch.

My thoughts exactly. I do like the songs, though. I'm pleasantly impressed for the production

[EasyLOAD]

Here's my transcription of the lyrics to "Carry." I have been out of town for a week and a half, so if something is wrong and/or has been posted elsewhere, sorry.

Love, hold my hand
Help me see with the dawn
That those that have left
Are not gone
But they carry on
As stars looking down
As nature's sons
And daughters of the heavens
You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the precession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever
You have touched my life
So that now
Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing
The waves have come to walk with you
To where you will live in the land of you(th?),
Land of you(th?)
You will not ever be forgotten by me
In the precession of the mighty stars
Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Here I will carry, carry, carry you
Forever.

[SaamanthaSterlyng]

Wow, I don't think either of these sound like Toast. These are so much richer and emotional.

[JRixlcvF]

First impressions:

-her pronunciation is nowhere near as ridiculous as it was
-there is baby voice but its way toned down compared to anything prior
-replacing Mac Aladdin with strings was a fucking good plan
-I do not miss Matt and Jon. Like at all.
-The arrangements are lovely
-It is clear that Ms. Amos has been finally listening to something other than Led Zeppelin and Elton John. THANK GOD.
-I already like these two songs better than anything on AATS, not like that is saying much. They are actually interesting and pretty and musically competent.
-Not blown away, but then again, my fave Tori songs never blow me away on first listen.

[markkisil]

Okay, IN LOVE with Nautical Twilight. I am listening to Carry right now. Her vocals are lovely.


*sigh* It feels good to be excited about an album of hers. It's just beautiful. These two songs sound like the old Tori, but how you think she would have matured. I am not one to really hate on her other albums, because I like parts and sections of each album. But I never loved WHOLE albums like I did on BFP or FTCGH. I have a feeling this one will give a feeling of those past albums without repeating her past output. Which is what I always wanted from her.

This sounds lush and very dear to her.

[treawittelf]

Listening again and I really can't complain about anything. I'm actually shocked these sound as good as they do. If the tracks really do sound similar throughout, this is shaping up to be something special indeed.
