Fiona Apple, brooding, brainy belter and capital-A artist of near forbidding depth, begins her much gossiped-over third CD on a lark. The title track, one of two songs produced by Jon Brion before the label dispute that prompted hip-hop producer Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem) to step in, sounds like a Judy Garland number slathered with irony or something Rufus Wainwright might have had a hand in--strings soar, beats bump around skittishly, and notes require a ladder. But playful as it is, by the time the chorus kicks in it's clear why the world has missed Fiona Apple so much. Young female artists who have stepped into the spotlight since she fled it six years ago-- Nellie McKay and Joss Stone spring to mind for their cleverness and heat, respectively--seem slight in comparison. With every track ticked off, in fact, Extraordinary Machine moves listeners a little closer to what might be a correct assumption: that everything they've dipped into since 1999's When the Pawn ... was filler. Fans will feel it especially on "O'Sailor," a gimlet-eyed lament, and "Tymps," a tight piano track with a tip of the hat to hip-hop. It's "Window," though, with its lyric about "a filthy pane of glass" fogging up a clear view, that sums up the experience of this CD best. "I had to break the window," Apple sings, smoky-voiced as ever. "It just had to be." With Extraordinary Machine, she shatters already sky-high expectations. -Tammy La Gorce

 A Great Work December 22, 2009
JC (MD USA)
This is an excellent CD. She falls far outside my usual listening range stylistically but lays out truly heartfelt art, so is right in the midst of regular play for me. Definitely get this version for the live video. Not quite to the magic of some of the performances I've heard but great nonetheless.
The Garden of Eden December 5, 2008
Spencer Mims (North Carolina)
It's easy for me to understand why the apple was the forbidden fruit in the garden. If Fiona Apple is news to you, I'm sorry, but, better late than.....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... March 20, 2007
Jailin Campos (Venezuela)
Musically pretty. Fiona has been experimenting with her own music, creating new sensations and illusions; this is just a step further.

Tidal was a masterpiece; a soulful texture of diminished and augmented chords with clever lyrics and strong, digestible harmonies...
this was not.
a great follow-up to when the pawn... January 20, 2007

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...
