5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful addition to any musician's collection, 27 April 2001
By A Customer
Overall, I was stunned by the power contained in this book. 'Bliss' is one of my favourite tracks on the album and I was impressed by the accuracy of the transcription. When I played it I felt the same emotion as I did listening to the song. All of the songs are simply irresistable and I challenge anyone to keep from their piano after buying this amazing book. Every song is breathtaking.

This is an essential for any Tori fan as the live set is also included. Even if you have the sheet music for the other songs- as I do- it is worth buying purely for 'Cooling' - an absolutely beautiful song which anyone can make sound fabulous.

With this book you will feel like Tori (well, almost) and none of these songs are out of reach with a little practice. Make it your own!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money..., 19 Mar 2006
By A Fan (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Bought this on a whim, figuring that at least I was getting good value for money as it includes sheet music for the live songs.
Well firstly, the new songs are fairly dull to play as Tori is more interested in creating a full-band sound these days, rather than basing the songs around her piano arrangements. The transcriptions are more accurate than in her previous books, soley because her arrangements are more straightforward and simple for these songs. All in all, I can't see the appeal of buying the book just for these songs, but maybe the live songs will make it worth it.....?

Well, no, they don't. Let me point out that these are NOT transcriptions of the LIVE versions of the songs as heard on the CD. These are merely the over-simplified transcripts of the album tracks found in her other sheet music books so if you've already got them there's nothing here for you. "Cooling", however, is a great song and they've actually remained fairly faithful to the version on the CD but this is the one time I wish they hadn't. Her live version leaves out considerable portions of the original song which frankly had the best piano bits.

So to summarize, the new material is too pedestrian to be worth playing unaccompanied on the piano and the so-called "live" material is nothing more than copies of the over-simplified transcripts we've seen in all her other books. The only value this book has to anyone other than a complete beginner is that it might help you transcribe the songs yourself if you've got "the basics" in print in front of you.
