Tori brilliantly remixes and remasters her greatest songs. The new ones are soon to be favorites and the DVD portion is stunning.

Pro Reviews: Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection [Bonus DVD]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection is not only one of the most intriguing titles for a hits compilation, but the package itself captures only the best from Amos' years spent with Atlantic. As solid, interesting, and moving as anything she'd released since her 1992 debut, Little Earthquakes, Tales of a Librarian is an autobiographical account of Amos' life as a woman in a complex world, and her songs sift through various emotions and spirits. Regardless of what barrier she faced, she never compromised herself as an individual. Her fans know this, and the quirky arrangement of Tales of a Librarian reflects this and more. Her usual approach of having a story within a story is here, but like the title suggests, Amos organizes her classic singles as a bookshelf ready for research and examination. Each song is remastered and arranged according to era, and the production itself offers new breadth and breath to Amos' work as a whole. Instead of the Boys for Pele version, Armand van Helden's dance remix of "Professional Widow" is included. "Bliss" from Amos' To Venus and Back double album gets a crystallized lift in the studio, while two new songs are introduced for the first time: "Snow Cherries From France" and "Angels." They represent Amos' constant search for truth while witnessing various personal transformations. Reaching for such rightness has been her quest all along and through music she's told amazing stories that millions have come to believe and take seriously. Like Morrissey loyalists, Tori followers are a rare breed. They'll surely appreciate Tales of a Librarian even though they most likely own every single release Amos has ever issued. Those who don't own any of her albums and are looking for a decent collection of her work should enjoy this as well, although owning each of her albums is well worth it. [A bonus DVD featuring live songs recorded during Amos' final show of her 2003 North American tour as well as remixes for "Putting the Damage On" and "Mr. Zebra" is included here.] - MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide |

Pros: Great Music
Cons: Nothing Spectacular
As with every Tori Amos album, I rushed out to get this and hear what I was hoping to be an album rich with a change. It's been long promised that Tori would release an album of remixes of her older songs, and only getting "Mary" and "Sweet Dreams" as Remixes, or rather re-recordings, kinda disappointed me. "Angels" and "Snow Cherries From France" are terrific new songs. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing the album, but for the last 12 years all us big fans have heard about a REMIX album. Where someone would make Tori's awesome music somewhat danceable, not just poor DJ mixes like the horrible "Professional Widow" mixes that have been floating around, and even poke their evil head out on this album as well.
I did notice however that the sound quality is a lot richer on this album. I could hear tiny background sounds from the drums and bass on songs like "Spark" and "Tear in your Hand" that I can't hear on the original albums. Re-recording these songs with newer technology has obviously brightened up these classics.
As for the additional DVD. The three live videos of Tori doing a soundcheck are great, but even greater is the Photo gallery in which beautiful pictures of Tori are slowly rolled onto the screen. It's just wonderful to see that over the last twelve years Tori has not only become a wonderous songwriter and singer, but has gotten more beautiful with age. ...
