snide's Album Review for Extraordinary Machine
""
The bootleg version is the one you want.
Please note that this review is very specifically tied to the Jon Brion helmed “bootleg” version of Extradinary Machine and not the recent commericially released album produced by Mike Elizondo. The Difference? The bootleg is brutally angry, bitter and full of hate where the new version is toned down and layered. The first version also contains and opens with Fiona’s greatest accomplishment, “Not About Love”, a track so bare and spitefull it assaults the listener like a cannon shot from a broken heart. The stark contrast between the two albums confirms something I had previously suspected but never accepted: Jon Brion is the reason I like Fiona Apple records, not Fiona Apple.
