The Garden of Eden
If Fiona Apple is news to you, I'm sorry, but, better late than. It's easy for me to understand why the apple was the forbidden fruit in the garden. . . . . well, you know. Hopefully, this rather wonderful third album will not be her last. If it is, "oh well. "

Give it a listen. You'll understand what I mean.


Fantastic, amused, Fiona...
Fiona has been experimenting with her own music, creating new sensations and illusions; this is just a step further. Musically pretty.


A sad sad decline
If I'd been dating her for the talent she showed on her first CD I would have broken up with her over this piece of haggis. Well it was an obvious path to musical collapse, she should have stopped at Tidal. The course of the last three CD's drew a trendline right from stardom into a melodic pit. The lyrics on Extraordinary Machine were not only not up to their namesake but worse than the melodies. The number of great reviews on this site only go to prove once again the masses prefer pablum in lieu of something complex and cognitive.

Her original Cd with it's collection of diminished and augmented chords set to deep overlays of texturing, blended with truly poetic lyrics has been replaced with a distilled musical joke. What on earth gave her the impetus to try to go 'artsy' by experimenting with music predating the second world war I'll never know. It's obvious her angst is no longer producing art, rather it is being replaced with contrived resolution and the equivalent of a musical epitaph.

Eat it up people, it's all about not having to think. It's the kind of tripe that happens when someone is trying to hard to think of how to outdo their first brush stroke of genius and is confronted with musical block. Judging by the news her father is ruining her life and creativity as so often is the case in todays less than feminine half of the culture. .


a great follow-up to when the pawn...
excellent record. .
just like a great wine goes well with great food, this is an excellent follow-up to when the pawn (to me her masterpiece) . . . listen to her previous album before this one to get the whole picture. . . excellent, very weird record. . . fiona is getting even more radical. . and shows she really is one of the best artists of the decade. . . .


One of the best albums of all time
Apple's talent for consistently brilliant songwriting is staggering. Ms. This is a must-have for anyone fascinated by the blurry line between intellectual exploration and raw emotional experience.
