|
Fetch the Bolt Cutters is a huge stepping stone for 2020. The reviews are already more than favorable, the people are going crazy over it, and it's quite possible that Apple has outdone herself. Fetch the Bolt Covers mixes the roots of her early career with the experimental sound of The Idler Wheel and maintains that balance carefully and cleverly through the whole 50 minutes. So is this not the current AOTY or what?

Do I have to actually listen to it before I favourably/unfavourably [delete as applicable] compare this to a post-1984 Tom Waits album whilst using the word "junkyard" as an adjective to describe the percussion?

 I guess it helps.

I listened to her last three records, which I imagine is enough to form an opinion on this one.

You do that, pumpkin. Anyway, off to join a hate mob for the next Avengers movie even though it's not out yet.

It's like comparing Apples and oranges.

You've got one of the most diverse charts on BEA, so I'd assume comparing apples and oranges would be easier for you than for most people. I know a lot of epople who say that apples and oranges thing. Besides, when you take into account that it borrows from pervious albums to create something new, it's easier to find similarities to make this orange taste more like the original apple. Fiona apple, that is...

So from late yesterday to earlier today, when I realized that Fiona Apple was gonna release a new album, I was caught off guard. Not only has it been a long time since her last album, I realized I never listen to any of her albums. So that is what I did. Went through all four records and then gave the new album a listen. And I have to admit, when I woke up today and saw things like Pitchfork giving the album a 10 and RYM average hasn't drop down below a 4.00 as I write this at this moment, I got quite excited. After listening to it, I do think it is a great album. And I can get some of the hype this album is getting. But AOTY? No.
Now don't get me wrong, it is one of the best records of 2020. But after listening to her entire body of work, I would say it is more ambitious and has a good amount of killer cuts that makes it better than her 2012 album. But to me doesn't hit the full package of her first three records that had the majority of the tracks with a full body of sound throughout the entire tracklisting. Because while the drumming is very unique and does have a lot of presence, I kinda wish that the tracks that I thought were just good, had a little more to keep me enamored. But still a great record and would recommend for at least a listen.

You shouldn't have done this, because now I have a larger platform for my dissenting opinion.
