Tori Amos’ Long-Lost 1988 Album Is Better than You Think

Tori Amos's early band, Y Kant Tori Read, preceded her solo career, marked by a synth-pop sound.

Despite efforts, the band's self-titled album failed commercially, reflecting the challenges Amos faced.

The album showcased Amos's attempt to fit into the L.A. rock scene of the late '80s.

Despite criticism, some tracks hinted at Amos's future solo style, especially the "Etienne" trilogy.

Though not a perfect fit, the album's existence marks an essential starting point in Amos's artistic journey.
