Title: A Disappointed Fan
Review: I've been a fan of Fiona Apple ever since I saw her first video on VH1 for "Shadowboxer". TIDAL is a terrific album and my personal favorite of hers. All the songs on it are filled with deep emotion and soul. Her voice and lyrics are heartbreaking. I give it 5 stars. 1999's WHEN THE PAWN... is a little more up beat but still has all the same emotion. 4 1/2 stars. I was thrilled after 6 years that she was coming out with a new album. Once I bought EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE and listened to it I have to say I was very disappointed. I just don't know how to describe this record. Five of the songs are the same Fiona Apple I have loved for years but the other seven are just NOT her. The lyrics are great but the music with hip-hop and techno beats DO NOT do her extrordinary voice justice. Overall, EXTRAORINARY MACHINE is just not worth the $15 bucks. Even for the most hard core Apple fan like me.
Is the review positive or negative?
