The liner notes to Strange Little Girls contain 13 pictures, each representing a character from one of the songs on the album (with “Heart of Gold”s delegates being a set of twins). It is from this perspective that i am attacking the album… not as a concept work, or a cohesive disc, but as 12 “girls” linked together in their separation from their original creators and in that Tori has chosen to harbor them as her own for the time being. Each is its own soundscape and commentary apart from the others, and dissecting every one is almost the only way to be able to connect any of them at all. Each of the preceding reviews was written in the length of the song they describe, and edited upon a repetition. Mouseover the pictures to view their caption, and click for some possible extra commentary.
