Vi La gave it a10:
10/10 because it is an album that can be listened to over and over again. Such well written lyrics + melodies to go with them, each song being different and unique. Definitely her best album, and the best album for female artists ever! For she embraces what it feels like to be sensitive, angry, loved, betrayed and misunderstood. This album appealed to me personally, it's reassuring that I'm not the only one who goes through this stage. GO Fiona, you rock.
S Rod gave it a10:
Definitely her best, and possibly one of the best albums by a woman ever! Top notch production, mesmerizing arrangements, beautiful and intimate lyrics. Every little thing about 'When the pawn . . ." is brilliant.

Norah jones and alicia keyes can't come close to being this magical in writing songs for the piano. Mad props to fiona and especially to her producer Jon Brion for this gem.
C Liam gave it a10:
I found that she is exactly extraordinary from this album before listen to "Extraordinary Macine"!
Mike gave it a10:
Fiona Apples best album to date! Much better then Extra ordinary machine, which I found to be a disappointment.
Robbie C gave it a10:
The best Fiona album. I think what we all love about this album is Jon Brion, or at least the collaboration between Fiona and Jon Brion. They are absolutely brilliant together. The original Extraordinary Machine was another work of genius and the polished one proved my point.
JD Williams gave it a10:
Best Fiona album start to finish! Extraordinary is awesome but i still like When A Pawn better!
