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.

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?

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.

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

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).
