Way too long for its own good. Tori includes some nice songs on this record, and there’s not much I actively dislike, but this is far from her best work in my opinion.
This is what Ladies of the Canyon would sound like if Björk was involved with making it.
It still isn't anything particularly remarkable, but compared to what Melissa has been releasing over the past twenty years, "Rise" is a welcome improvement.
Have you ever wanted to hear Melissa Etheridge cover classic blues and soul hits for nearly an hour straight? Yeah… me neither.
