Fionna is the finest, most refined, poet who sets her thoughts to beat. She really indicates the beat of a heart. It's not only cool words, it's deep definition asking YOU- the listener, to discern. I love You Fionna. Not to mention how she perfectly matches the rhythm with the mood- or directed the mood. She's so fucking good. True artists are seldom recognized. I recognize Fionna Apple for a true to herself award.
I was listening to her old music and tripped over a song from this album. This album is amazing and I just can get enough of it. Big ups to Ms. Fiona 🍎, she did her Thang. Keeping music soulful and interesting.
She’s one of those artists who’s undeniably good and unique and authentic, but I never got too into it despite admiring her work. Just the other day “not about love” showed up in my feed, now I’m obsessed. I don’t know who I was getting her mixed up with.... Allanis Morrisete?
I mean, her and Alanis did get popular around the same time. Alanis’ album was so big that it led to a lot of labels signing and pushing “angry/moody white girls”. But Fiona and Alanis are very different artists and have been from the beginning. Alanis’ music is more soft grunge/pop-rock/soft-rock. While Fiona uses elements of jazz, tin pan alley, hip-hop, folk and punk. And honestly, no disrespect to Alanis, but Fiona is the more brilliant, unique and ambitious artist. If you haven’t checked out The Idler Wheel and When the Pawn Hits yet, they are also on the level of Fetch the Bolt Cutters.
Definitely she deserves it! So, thanks so much for sharing also her unique lyrics!! Even though she doesn't care about winning grammys, now I hope many others can find out and enjoy her music as I do!
I love her & am happy she won the Grammys, she actually does care about it, as she has to submit her work each time to even get nominated. Some artist don't submit their work that's really not caring. I'm glad she cared enough, cause they can't award a Grammy if the artist does not enter their work to be considered.
@Bill Haines - “Fun”?! Fiona Apple is a composer of extraordinary range, originality, and brilliance. She’s known for giving everything in her performances, but she does exactly the same in her songwriting, in the music and lyrics and in the fit between the two. I mean, she doesn’t make a song from two or three interesting ideas, as though she had a limited supply. If you’re not in awe of Fiona Apple you just haven’t listened enough to her original music. It’s deep stuff - if you don’t love one of her originals at first, if you don’t think it’s a masterpiece, listen again and again. Trust her. Pay attention. You’ll be glad you did. That's my experience. Apple’s music grows you and grows you. In my musically ravished opinion. Besides, she says we shouldn’t compare people, and she’s right.
@Bill Haines - Well that’s all true. I’m sorry. What I meant is that even her saddest, grimmest stuff is so full of the sheer joy of music that it lifts you up. Not everybody has appreciated that, so some people have seen her as a sourpuss.
The best. This is the best way to listen to the best. The lyrics read while taking in the rhythm and nuanced emphasis applied. What a cool dynamic voice!
Fiona Apple è la prima volta che l ' ascolto ,qualcuno ha detto che assomiglia un po' a KATE BUSH, io più che KATE BUSH....ci intravedo un ispirazione verso SUZANNE VEGA o TORI AMOS!!!!!!!!!! Comunque artista interessante fuori dagli schemi!!!!!! Io essendo un appassionato di PROGRESSIVE ROCK posso inquadrarla in un poprock alternativo sperimentale dove colloco anche TORI AMOS, SUZANNE VEGA e anche KATE BUSH!!!!!!
Fiona Apples lyrics are the core of the most beAUTIFUL apples you have ever eaten. I Ate all lyrics of her albums and the latest album "fetch the bolt cutters" I relate too so much, there was a time I was playing tautology and I just said to a group of men with long long beardS, " bolt cutters"and they laughed so much , we think she, Mrs Apple is the cheekiest angel you very ever met and I say, "Latter-day saints pleAe bless Mrs Fiona Apple with Mormon holy spirit and Latterday saints, to be safe in her music career safety first the. Art thou god reAlly excellent so god thou art be blessed by holy fire and the blood of youseff" Jesus gypsy nAme is youseff. Fiona Ive only got 300 fan s but they are important, I'm currently trying to study "Screen media writing" but I also have to fight noise pollution, I'm the heroin in your song that tells you to stay under, some of the most famous people have ebeen my ghosts and things aren't looking good, Angeliki Barbara Psyhopoulos, band called Gypsy moth - Rockstar d- day, song, everyone went through me cos they want a fine for axe murdering. So far in prison Angus Young from ACDC and Slash from Guns and Roses. " Kick me under the table all you want , I won't shut up, I won't shut up" the Rock n Roll Industry is crazy as frogs chasing flies, the Notorious radioactive world is coming to an end, you find their address and tell Council to knock their base houses down, that wAy no more ethnic ghosts. I love you, stay strong girl, run up that hill Angie xxxxx😎😎😎😎
One stranger's Yes wouldn't mean anything, but the album's overall critical reception, as measured by Metacritic, is the second highest of any album Metacritic has ever rated. Pitchfork gave it a 10 of 10, the highest of any album since 2010.
No. I tried it, 4 times. Is her shouting and not paying attention to melody, harmonies or anything, some glimpses of genius here and there... some hints of good poetry, and repetitive/dull everything else
@@BillHaines37 come on, the critics are all paid up, otherwise they wouldn't consider this album so high, specially considering how superior The idler wheel is...
@@m.a.g.3920 It's a contradiction to say that the highest pinnacle of acclaim is commonly bought as a matter of common practice, and it's pretty implausible to suggest that it can be bought at all - even if Sony expected a big payoff from the effort, which it doesn't make much sense to suppose. A winner of two Pulitzer Prizes wrote about FTBC in a critics' roundtable in the New York Times: "But I have to tell you guys that whatever I’m typing today about this album is raw, unprocessed (I’ve listened only twice) and certain to be riddled with typos - because my hands are shaking." And more along those lines. April 17, 2020.
Ouf ! Je vais enfin pouvoir tourner ailleurs mon esprit, pourtant punk de base, vers autre chose que les traînées de fumée de Lana del Rey (si superbement orchestrées qu'elles soient).
Uhm, 4th time I listen to it... Excuse me, but I don't get it. The Idler Wheel is her masterwork, this is just her having fun with sounds and pretty frustrated because of... well, u know.
The Idler Wheel is a concentrated and introverted work. This is more extroverted, more punk like and more wandering. I think they’re both great albums. But I do think ‘Fetch’ is thus far her magnum opus. However, I understand why a percentage of fans don’t care for it despite the acclaim. Also, you don’t have to post so much hate in the comment section. We get that you don’t like the album, but it gets redundant and you’re not saying anything that a percentage of fans haven’t been saying since the album’s release.
@@liteflightify maybe if you had the same feelings I had (deep frustration and disillusion) it would be very difficult for you not to express, so I guess the fact that you consider her best album (which seems crazy to me) makes you see my comments worse than they really are. I've learned and played quite a good bunch of Fiona's songs (and sing them) on the piano, didn't the same about any artist, since I'm mainly a jazz pianist and contemporary improviser. What I want to tell you is that for me this album means a tremendous decline in her composition and is difficult not to think about the reasons why that happent, personal reasons. Perhaps you didn't go that far because obviously, if you like it, none of this thoughts or feelings would go round your mind. For me this is complete dissapointment, musically, and beyond.
This is literally the most critically acclaimed album of the past five years or so. So, it can’t be that shocking that a good amount of folks love it. While unlike The Idler Wheel (which I see as more jazz meets folk) this leans way more towards blues meets punk. It’s very anti-melody, has a lot of weird time signatures and switch ups. It’s layered and controlled and surreal chaos. And that’s a big part of its appeal. I do know there are people who eventually came around to really liking this album after a while, but it’s also not for everyone. That’s fine, and it’s okay to express not being a fan of something. 8+ comments or so sh*tting on it isn’t really necessary.
@@liteflightify I'm very fond of experimental music, from Merzbow to Henry Cow or first Captain Beefheart albums. In my opinion this is not "experimental" music, it's just uninteresting music. As you well said it's not melodic (but it's also uninteresting in terms of harmony or timber/textures). It has only some appeal in terms of rhytms but sadly it cannot be fully appreciated since the quality of recording is dirty... I don't take seriously contemporary critics. In fact there's amazing artists that go unnoticed and critically acclaimed albums that I bet no one will listen to in the next 30 year. So my guess is the Idler wheel will be the most listened album in the next years and not Fetch the Bolt.. but, let's see.
@@m.a.g.3920 I mean, at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter. And I’m sure overall When The Pawn and The Idler Wheel are bigger fan favorites. The “dirty” and at home sound quality (you might need some higher quality earphones to hear all the nuances of the production), the rambling and unpredictable and oppressive beats, the genre-less flow, the punk-like vocals and the general controlled chaos like atmosphere are all apart of the album’s appeal. And that's not gonna do it for a lot of people. Like I said, it’s perfectly fine not to like the album. The reason I responded to you is that you’ve commented on this page so much that it was giving troll energy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered.
Let Fiona worry about that. From the interviews I’ve seen that’s not her concern. Maybe take your issue to RU-vid about putting too many ads into music funneling people to these channels for an uninterrupted listen.
Same... Some songs seem to go somewhere... and then they don't. Incredibly dissapointing album, and I tried to listen to it 4 times (I'm a musician/pianist).
Someone clearly listened to the first two songs and pretended that they listened to the whole album. Also, resist referring to music as “artsy”. It’s always gonna come off condescending and like you put every non-conventional thing in the same box.
@@liteflightify you're wrong. I thoroughly listened to it. And i did appriciate it. It just isn't as ground breaking as i was told it would be. And yes, it sounds a lot like what used to come out in 2007 (feist, micky green, yael naïm, the dø...). That's not bad though. It's just nothing new.
