   I've always known about Fiona Apple, but never gave her the light of day. Hype is an evil thing. The hype surrounding this album however is 100% accurate, it's a fantastic album. Every track is sung with such beautiful honesty from Apple that you really can understand what she's feeling and what she's been through. I love this album with a such a passion. A… Expand

   I found this album/CD at the record shop in brand new condition. I didn't buy it originally for certain reasons, but now that I have it, I can't stop playing it. I enjoy this album much more than Fiona Apple's previous albums - although those are very good also. There's something about this album that makes for good listening. The overall sound is lighter than her older material, but it has an easy flow which is very enjoyable. Pitchfork needs to loosen up a little. They are so anal - this album is much better than a 6.2 rating. I give it an "8" which stands for almost excellent. I am so sorry I didn't look for this album when it first came out.… Expand

   I wouldn't have even written a review of this if I hadn't noticed that it's on the "best of 2005" list. Are you serious? I adored "Tidal" and "When The Pawn...", but this is...not good. I've read the other reviews, and I have to agree with terms like "overrated" and "unfocused". She had six years to get inspired; to come up with a great record. I mean, it has its moments (hence, the 4 rating), but her "best album to date"? Please. If you don't have her other albums, get those, and leave this on the shelf (which, coincidentally, Ms. Apple should've done for you).… Expand
