I've been a fan of Tori for decades, and for me I've found some albums more "accessible" than others. After reading In the studio, I now have a greater understanding of the process and more importantly, how and why the themes evolved. Now I can revisit and appreciate more the sonic stories. Many thanks

A good read but flawed by some mispronounced/ misunderstood technical aspects.
