Title: Fiona Apple is awesome, this album however is awful
Review: Ive just about burned my eardrums out listening to pawn, sleep to dream, etc, the "early days" of Fiona apple, some of my favorite music. The angst is present in the new album, but theres no soul and depth in "Extraordinary Machine", its flat, unmoving, and a lifeless corpse. Just listening to the songs brings images that shes thinking "i need some more $$, heres some more music, blah blah, zzzz", she just sings it like she lost all her soul, and that shes got a gun to her head and someone is forcing her to sing. Just no soul at all in this album, its not in the same ilk as her earlier works. Absolutely love Apples music, to the Xtreme in fact, but this collection is a snoozefest without soul.
Is the review positive or negative?
