I usually trust Rolling Stone, but every now and then, they'll get someone totally fresh out of college to write reviews. You can bet if David Wild or David Fricke would give it at least 31/2 stars or more. I can trust them, becuase they have such a consumate history of reviewing records and the like. Joni getting 2 stars makes me think of Tori AMos, who back in 1996 released, Boys for Pele. Well, the Rolling Stone review said something very similar to what they said about Joni,
Since Tori Amos plays piano they asserted that unlike Jerry Lee Lewis, who plays songs like "Great Balls of Fire" with gusto and ferver, that Tori is lacking in that category and those aforementioned qualities should be added to her work. Well, First of all, that was just sexist, second, Tori is never and was never, a 'rock n' roller' more of a spiritual muse and thirdly, What the fuck does Jerry Lee Lewis have to do with anything relevant today, aside from sodomy?
Same with Joni, she really isn't a 'rock n' roller' and never would strive to make a 'rock orchestration record' becuase it is not her style.. Poo POO.

It seems Rolling Stone does not feel that the strings on Travelogue are up
to the standards of "great orchestral rock." Glad that the reviewer is
shielding RS's readers from orchestral recordings that are not sophisticated
enough for them!
