Fiona Apple "When The Pawn", C/D

I really like it. Shame about the out-of-tuneness of the last song, which is otherwise rather pretty. "Love Ridden" totally makes up for it, though.

The production on the album is kind of all over the place, but it works especially well on the first two tracks. I think "Tidal" has aged better as an album, however.

Destroy: the released version of "Extraordinary Machine." Its only redeeming quality is the weird, pastoral version of "Red Red Red" and the untouched "Waltz."

when the pawn is a terrific album, imo. definitely as solid as tidal.

production is great - A Mistake, for ex. and the last song sounds beautiful to me.
