Boys for Pele, the title of Tori Amos's epic third album, is as awkward and confusing as the music inside. Though it sounds like a recruitment slogan for Little League soccer, the name actually refers to the lost temples of feminine divinity. Pele, you see, is the Hawaiian volcano goddess; the boys, well, they're the sacrifices that quell the rumbling lady's rage. Attempting to regain fires stolen long ago, Pele rewrites the crucifixion to star a girl Jesus and in doing so conjures a forgotten matriarchal mythology. While Amos's characters--Jupiter, Muhammad, Lucifer--are male by name, the aural landscape into which they're thrown is as symbolically and expressionistically female as Georgia O'Keeffe's skull-and-roses paintings. Pele is a complex and formless--and often impenetrable--work of gothic-pop chamber music, both beautiful and ghostly in its nearly complete reliance on Amos's rolling Bosendorfer grand piano, chilling harpsichord (which she bangs like a courtly punk rocker), and acrobatic voice (as earthy as Joni Mitchell's and as otherworldly as Bjork's). Unfortunately, she takes us only halfway: her songs engage and challenge us to understand, but the imagery offers few clues to help us crack their frustrating opacity. Pele ends up as much a pretentious and self-indulgent trip as it is a synthesis of talent, imagination, and skewed vision. Still, there's reason to celebrate that an album as formalistically and thematically alien to pop audiences as Pele would win such quick success upon its original release. --Roni Sarig

- 浮蓝(三色堇) 马儿 深秋的葬礼。全世界都是这种沉静气息。 半枯槁的叶,冰冷的空气。泥土硬朗并且黑。 这是后来的事情了,她来到这片森林,轻轻地笑,轻轻地唱。我可爱的马儿啊,你们在哪里,我需要一些,骑上去,骑上去…… 1 她住在这个村庄的染坊。她每天用染料染大块的棉布和麻布。她有着乡下姑娘单纯的酒窝和泛红的腮。 ...... (17回应)

- frank1127(百年孤妓) 1.一切于黑暗中开始;这个女孩在犹豫中开始触摸钢琴键盘。她为黑暗而作歌一曲并开始演唱。她唱了那些大一些的女孩,那些美人儿。她唱了所有她成长中的恐惧,所有她知晓的自己无法到达的那份恐惧。 当歌唱结束,她躺下了,躺在钢琴的下面,于黑暗之中。 钢琴为她演唱了一曲摇篮曲。黑键白键开始生长,交织,开花;而她仿佛置身梦...... (6回应)

- 爪爪(自己给自己剪了个西瓜太郎头发) 虽然我现在已经不愿经常提及她,不喜欢那些人拿图像化的表述禁锢她,有时候甚至怨恨她,怨恨安妮或者张悦然用堆砌的文字把她世俗化,我恨她被那么多人爱着。。 可是在我17岁那一年,她是只属于我一个人的,即使我想摆脱这些,她却已经渗入我的呼吸,血液,骨髓,或者每一个细胞 这可恶的被人耻笑的小女人的自恋,9...... (14回应)

- 小欢啊(春天呐喊) 有一天 直到你听到她的音乐 你终于找到存在于世上的能媒 当她唱着"all the white horses are still in bed" 是你第一次感到冬天来临的时候 是你躺在冰冷床上无法呼吸的时候 是你坚强决绝的时候 于是 你看见了翻滚的白浪 一波未平,一波又起 这是通往远方的旅程 ...... (1回应)
