"Unrepentant Geraldines' is a doozy. It wouldn't be a Tori Amos album without some patriarchal ass whooping and she more than delivers here. While Amos' reverence for the Magdalene and her fury at the men who have revised and buried her biblical significance may seem old-hat by now, "Geraldines" reenergizes this trope by seamlessly fusing jazz, punk, and ambient soundscapes. After the wailing declaration of "I'm gonna free myself from your aggression / I'm gonna heal myself from your religion", the song takes a surprisingly austere turn, Amos conjuring a peaceful scene of "vicar's wife" who "plays the bass like a Messiah... running through the rain". Once again, it's just Amos and her piano, enacting the very intimacy she's evoking in her lyrics, a pure convergence of content and form that exists here, blessedly, in abundance".
