Description: Tori's third and final studio album with Epic was a sharp departure from its predecessor sonically. Described by some critics as "glam rock", the songs feature heavier guitars and drums than her previous albums. In the album concept, Tori chooses to embody 5 different female characters to express various archetypes in Greek mythology through a modern lens.
The Limited Edition of this album featured an extra bonus track on the DVD called "My Posse Can Do". Additionally, it came with 5 trading cards with the chance to collect 3 different sets in all. An expanded full color 36-page booklet was also included.
It is interesting to note that with the inclusion of the 5th trading card in the Limited Edition, this album was disqualified from entering the UK Charts. As was described on the now obsolete official Tori website EverythingTori:
"According to the UK Chart Regulations, the limited edition special package of American Doll Posse has been disqualified from the UK Charts. Apparently offering the fans 5 postcards is considered too much of a gift, and sales of the CD are ineligible. Tori made the decision not to compromise the packaging so the UK fans would receive the same presentation as the rest of the world."
The UK version of the Limited Edition Scarlet's Walk was missing the bonus charm (available in the US Limited Edition) for this very reason. Also interesting to note, there was no limited edition created for the UK; the US version was distributed in that country. There is, however, a UK/EU version for the standard edition.
Perhaps more than any album to date, American Doll Posse has an impressive array of special editions containing bonus extras:
• Purchasing either the regular or Limited Edition of American Doll Posse on Itunes would give you access to the exclusive bonus track "Miracle".
• Borders also had a download-only bonus track called "Drive All Night" with the purchase of the standard edition (US only).
• The Limited Edition DVD contained an extra track not included on this (regular) edition, "My Posse Can Do".
• For a limited time, the standard edition purchased at Target included a folded up poster (enlarged version of the front artwork photo).
• Purchasing the album at certain independent music stores would grant you a free lithograph.
The doll singing on each song is delineated in the comments below.
