A brilliantly written & produced album! Her voice is mesmerizing & soothing. It is hard to believe she was 18 when she made this album, since she wrote & sang with a depth that was unmatched by many successful artists twice her age!!!
The melodies rock. The vocals are amazing. Listening to it, you forget that she was just 17 when she wrote it.
This album is as close to perfect as it gets.
Fiona Apple was young when she put this album out but don't look at it that way. If you didn't know her age or her face and just listened to her voice you would be blown away. "Shadowboxer" and "Sleep to Dream" are my favorites but if you think you're unfamiliar with Apple then listen to "Criminal", surely you'll recognize that tune.
I'm not sure why people reviewing her have knocked her for being immature and out of her league. She's phenomenal, and her lyrics are beautiful and soulful. She is an immense talent and doesn't fail to deliver. Definitely check out "Shadowboxer."
