The Fiona Apple Thread

[Norah]

Fiona is my wife’s all time fave. We’re finally sitting down and listening now. She’s pumped. It’s fun to watch. Probably how she felt towards me when Gigaton came out.

Like she's irrationally obsessed with a musician who passed their creative peak when you were in high school?

Fiona Apple peaked with Idler Wheel though.

She never peaked....or has been peaking since 1996.

[joostone]

Damn this album is incredible. Im really hoping that she will tour Europe this time around. But that's probably never going to happen..
I think she's played a handfull shows here in 1996, and that's it...... Is she afraid of flying or something?

[bodysnatcher]

I really like this. Also it sounds a lot like turn of the century Ani DiFranco on a few songs (especially the title track).

I had the exact same thought

Since we are talking about if she has peaked, I'll say I'm not convinced yet the new one is better than Idler.

Can't they just be good or great for that matter?

Im loving it, and Idler took me a while. Im not sure what that means, but its whats happening.

Excellent album, gave it two listens today. I'm not sure if I like it better than The Idler Wheel but I've spent a lot of time with that one. We'll see how it grows. But yes I loved it, some really intense moments

That's maybe a bit much...but this album is incredible!!

musical bildungsroman

it cant be a 10 with that artwork

[evenslow]

i thought idler wheel was the best of the 2010's so there's no way in hell i can make a real judgment on this for the next year. but it's got potential, like our friend shameika (groan).

It's not.

[spike]

chud you pass judgement far too quickly

[spike]

it's like you're determined to be conductor of the hater train even at the risk of being way off

[Jorge]

Chud's new addiction is dismissing things confidently

[Norah]

But I really love this new album. I don't hate it at all.

[spike]

okay but you've had several years with one album and a day with the other

i think you did the same thing with gigaton

[Norah]

I'm sorry I didn't go all Josh on Gigaton.
