Summary: 2001-07-13 00:00:00 This is a great album. Fiona has a much stronger voice since the first. I hope she continues to grow, things can only get better if she does.

Summary: 2000-12-28 00:00:00 I was expecting some silly teeny-bopper candyass wannabe. What I heard was a voice that was insanely more mature than Apple's less thantwenty years. Herlyrics are really quite exceptional. Tidal had tons of soul to spare. I didn't think nearly as muchof When ThePawn..., but Limp was an excellent song. I'm very curious to see if she can overcome the senselessbacklash that hasassaulted her. If you don't have her debut CD "Tidal" and the only Fiona Apple referenceyou have is herstrange speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, give her a chance. What is she, 19 years old orsomething? Herpotential is truly impressive, and I'm hoping she puts her talent to good use. I think she has a lot of potential also. I love her alto. She is young andmay have put herfoot in her mouth a couple of times in public but some of us know what it's like to have something thatwe feel ispersonally important to say but somehow fumble over the words to try to get it out and unfortunatleyembarrass ourselves.I think introverted (ie artists) tend to understand this. Maybe if she had turned those thoughts into a songit would havebeen more successful. And yes, she is attractive but come on boys, let's give her some credit andstop judging her andother women by her body and "hot" rating! Fiona is one of my favorites. If you hate her, you should listen to hersongs. She is verytalented... seriously!! Listen to Tidal, and you will love her. At least no hate her. The album "When the Pawn..." is an exceptional work. She is truly atalented musician,but moreso, a talented poet. Buy this album! I bet she would like to take back her MTV Awards Ceremony rant. She's really skinny, but she's hot. she bores me. ewwwwww! I don't think so! Will someone please tell me why she is so angry?I just don'tget it. sultry voice and intelligent lyrics, but her raging dysfunctionalpersonality is gettingannoying I am so impressed w/the keen graphics. Bully for you! i began my escapadeson this netthing with a page on IUMA for my 10 yr old ska band. it was destiny; for in 1983 my mother got herself aMAC as theywere kinda new then. she explained how there would be this thing called the INTERNET that was goingto really bebig in a decade, and i just had to wait. You've done an excellent job! i had rr a few months ago, it was abit expensive mtvget OFF the air! ..... anything is possible - if you only believe, don't dream it, be it. Always try, nevergive in or up. Whoknew? YES! you are the one; despite seemingly popular belief of those who fear yours or my destiny forthemselves dueto codificatin by social norms, rather non-cunductive is their ability to see yours, or their futures.Attempt the impossible.You could be the one to tempt fate that brings about true bliss. Never mind those who say YOU can't. Theyare no betterthan you or I .....,.

Summary: 2000-12-20 00:00:00 I really believe that this CD is for those who value stong, meaningful lyrics. It's certainly not a "party" CD, but it is best listened to on a rainy day or long bus ride. I find I enjoy this CD the most when I'm in a relaxed, pensive mood. Apple goes from really fast, mixed beats, like in her "Fast As You Can" track, to her sullen yet hopeful track of "Crowbar." My favorite line on the whole CD is in the song, that I think is titled, "Not Baby Anymore" and she says, "nobody sees when you are lying in your bed and I wanna' crawl in with you, I want your warmth but it will only make me colder when it's over...."

Summary: 2000-11-14 00:00:00 Just when you thought you hated Fiona Apple you learn to love her all over again. This album is absolutely to die for. The music is great, the lyrics are great and there is so much intensity and energy. You must add this to your CD collection.

Summary: 2000-11-08 00:00:00 Vocally, Fiona's voice is inspiring, uplifting, and caustic all at the same time. Emotionally fueled and absolutely raw from start to end, songs like "Fast As You Can" and "Get Gone" carry this album to new heights.

Summary: 2000-11-07 00:00:00 This girl has it going on. She expresses herself incredibly well, using her music as an outlet. Each track is unique, although they share the same general idea. I think every woman should own this album. Men should definitely hear it, but considering she's anti-men, I don't know how they'd react. All I can say is that my boyfriend doesn't care for her.

Summary: 2000-10-28 00:00:00 Paper paper Bag shows the diversity that Fiona is capable of.She certainly has a talent not shared by many.I just wish she wasn't so tortured.There is a fine line between genius and crazy and she slips in and out of both.

Summary: 2000-10-24 00:00:00 I love this CD. I owned the last album as well, and I feel that she has grown as an artist. So much music sounds the same these days, but I think that she has a unique sound and some really important things to say.

Summary: 2000-10-23 00:00:00 I really enjoyed her 1st album, but had wished there were more fast-paced songs. In the sophmore album, she delivered. The songs sound playful and rollicking without ever losing Fiona's moody undertones. I enjoyed the new wide range of instruments backing up and supporting her voice in its incredible and expressive range.

Summary: 2000-10-16 00:00:00 Is it me, or does this girl need some SERIOUS psychological help? The least she could have done is kept the title of her CD down to a minimum of maybe 1-3 words, instead of a whole damn paragraph!

Summary: 2000-07-11 00:00:00 I absolutely love this album. Apple's voice is so soothing and nice to listen to. Also, the CD includes the lyrics, so I can sing along. I can relate to almost all of her songs. This is also one of those albums that I can listen to all the way through because every song is excellent.
