American Doll Posse is the ninth studio album by singer-songwriter Tori Amos. Like her previous albums Strange Little Girls (2001) and Scarlet's Walk (2002), American Doll Posse is a concept album, which entails five female personae Amos developed based on Greek mythology. Musically, the album is a drastic departure for Amos. Having stated that the box set A Piano: The Collection (2006) was the summation of her previous work and the end of an era, the album elicits a new chapter in her career and is her heaviest, most rock-influenced album to date.
American Doll Posse serves as Amos's third and final album under her contract with Epic Records, as Amos announced a year after the album's release that she would be operating independently of major record labels.
All songs written and composed by Amos, respective Doll personae in parenthesis.
"Posse Bonus", "Smokey Joe", and "Dragon" were originally to be featured on the limited edition version only, but were added to the standard version...
