Title: Unique album showing extraordinary talent
Review: Fiona Apple's 2005 offering Extraordinary Machine remains one of the most challenging and strikingly original pop music albums to emerge in the 2000's. Unpredictable, yet pretty melodies and dangerously intelligent lyrics make the record not the kind you play when you chill, but rather when you want to spend your "listening energy" on something potent. Anytime is plays, it assures of the genius lurking within this artist. Music once reminds of a Broadway show, other time sounds like a composition from 300 years ago played by modern instruments. However, the album never leaves much the realm of pop, which makes it rather -- if not completely and for all listeners -- accessible.
