Tori Amos' 2014 album Unrepentant Geraldines is is being reissued for its 10th anniversary and is #25 in the SDE Surround Series of blu-ray audios with Dolby Atmos Mixes.

The album was well received at the time and regarded as something of a return to form, with Tori making heavy use of the piano and delivering some sprightly pop arrangements. Amos produced the album, working with a small team including her husband Mark Hawley (who played guitar as 'Mac Aladdin') and Marcel van Limbeek. In short, there was a feeling that 'classic' Tori had returned, after a period of dense, conceptual 'song-cycles', orchestral projects and so on.

Album highlights include opener 'America', the title track with its rocky, driving chorus; the beautiful piano ballads 'Weatherman' and 'Oysters'; the Americana-vibed 'Trouble's Lament' (the lead promo single at the time) and 'Wedding Day'. Tori also duets with her daughter on the inter-generational reflections of 'Promise' and addresses the subject of ageing on '16 Shades of Blue' as Tori discussed at the time:

“I turned 50 this year – and certain people really helped me to see it in a different way and grab it with both hands. The song ‘16 Shades of Blue’ talks about aging from many points of view. And as I started to dive into it, I started to learn from women of all ages that age was a difficult thing for them” - Tori Amos speaking in 2014

The album reached number 7 in the US, becoming Amos's eighth top 10 album in her home country.
