Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine finally fully leaked

[The World is Square]

Anyone heard this wonderful album that for some reason has still yet to be released?

[auto]

If this is true that it is fully leaked and it is this good then it will be released.

[89981]

where can i get it?

[89981]

never mind i got it.

[kilcher]

I've only skimmed over it but I think it sucks for the most part. :( The music is way too overbearing. Same complaint I had about Tori's albums after Under The Pink. I'll have to give it some time though, it might grow on me.

[woofman]

I look forward to hearing it. How does it compare to her last one?

[Coral]

I think it's a very good CD. There are a couple songs that havent grown on me yet - but the other ones are very catchy.

I'd probably say it was a notch below "When the Pawn..." - but that's really a compliment.

So far she hasnt repeated herself - and this time she's made more of a change to her sound.

I'll purchase this when it eventually gets released.

[Meatpants]

There are two copies floating around - one sounds like a low quality rip, the other is cd quality.

I think it's good, as good as her other two. I just don't see the logic in not releasing a finished cd - even if it "only" sells 10 copies, isn't that better than getting no ROI? :confused:

Can somebody send me a link to the CD-quality download? I suck at finding these things. And rest assured, I will buy this when it comes out. I'm a big fan.

[lostatmidnight]

again, sounds like a natural progression from 'When the Pawn', Brion's kooky orchestration and production, layers of sounds, the soundtrack to a hallucinogenic mary poppins movie...

all sorts of theories why this was leaked---though, it was only a matter of time.

jason: check your email.

jason: check your email.

Thanks, LAM!

[voltes5]

Can someone please send me a link to the CD-quality download as well?
email: voltes5@vitalogy.org

I actually heard a few of the low-quality ones but I could not stand listening to them due to the quality.
Although I really liked 'Oh, Sailor' and 'Waltz'!


Thanks in advance...

[Tscott]

I found it and am enjoying it. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the only versions I've come across are the not CD quality ones as volume levels tend to jump between tracks.

I'll keep looking for 'a better version of EM', so to speak...

[NORML54601]

I'd appreciate an email with the hq link too please (NORML54601@aol.com)! Have been eagerly awaiting this one!

[89981]

Can someone please email me also with the cd quality version the one i got seems to be really low quality.

[auto]

^^ Same as above. Could someone please email me the hq link. jcfultonjr@yahoo.com

[Rogue588]

I'm sure i'll get used to the songs. But, is the one on the net - this "CD" quality one - a complete CD?

[FrozenMetalHead]

^^ Appreciated as well. frozenmetalhead1@gmail.com

I think he's talking to you.

[KTIK]

I'd love to get this. Any of it. thektik@gmail.com

Anyone know the tracklist? Or is that just asking way too much of Sony?
(Sony right?)

It's (EM) pretty much all over the net by now folks... Just hit some Fionna Apple fan forums, it's not that complicated.

Listening to it now... It's quite good, maybe a little different, and a natural progression from When The Pawn... Stupid fucks at Sony. :mad:

[auto]

still hoping for some love on the cd quality links.... jcfultonjr@yahoo.com

[dolphinboy]

If someone has or gets the link, please send it to me.

Thanks.

#1: Not About Love
#2: Red Red Red
#3: Get Him Back
#4: Better Version Of Me
#5: Oh Well
#6: Oh Sailor
#7: Used To Love Him
#8: Window
#9: Waltz
#10: Extraordinary Machine
#11: Please Please Please

Here's a nice review of Extraordinary Machine:

Stupid fucks at Sony. :mad:

But you certainly can't deny that what they said is true- there's not a single on there that radio would play. The only reason radio stations are playing it now is that they're not supposed to.

However, not just releasing it and relying on the fans who will buy it just on her name alone is rather a stupid move. It's not like this is some unknown singer's debut. Stranger albums have sold...

Maybe, possibly, probably. I wouldn't know... Haven't listened to FM radio in years, could care less about what the majors think I should listen to, so I'm not really sure what gets played these days.

Right on.

Here's Mark Morford's take on the fiasco...

I would really appreciate a link

Err, just look at that article by Mark Morford. Read it and thy requests shall be answered.

[lostatmidnight]

those are now the CD QUALITY versions in that link

[badlieut]

Link me pretty please bad_lieutenant9@yahoo.com

[FunkDaddy J]

Now that I have the CD-quality songs, I'd like to download some fan-produced CD cover art. Has anyone found any cool downloadable art?

[trainvedder]

can you send me the cd

j.keng@ttu.edu

thank you so much

[Tscott]

:rolleyes:

...the songs aren't exactly all that difficult to find.

Finally, I now have a better version of EM! :D (yes, I just had to use that lame pun again)

[FunkDaddy J]

I'm enjoying the hell out of this album.

[FunkDaddy J]

Found some cool cover art here.

http://www.okerupt.org/forum/viewthread.php?tid=602&page=4

Noticed that it references "alternate versions" of two of the tracks. Anyone know about those?

[Coral]

Jason,

Better Version of Me was leaked out on the net about 6 months ago (or longer) and it was referred to as "rough mix #4" (or something like that).

It's definitely different - and I actually prefer that version a little more myself.
I keep both versions on my iPod. ;)

(e-mail me if you want to hear it)

Haven't heard the other version of "Not About Love".

[Meatpants]

I saw two versions of Better Version of Me - one named "rough mix #4", the other named "alternate version". Not sure which one would be on the album.

[lostatmidnight]

jason, that same forum I think had an older post of cover art, quite good if i remember.

[clemente]

Wow. Outside of her radio hits a few years back, I've never actually listened to Fiona Apple. I liked Criminal, Fast As You and the rest, but I never felt compelled to actually pick up a CD and hear the rest.

So why seek these out? Boredom and high speed internet.
But damn am I glad I clicked on this thread. I loved every song upon my first listening and absolutely fell in love with a handful.

But then, I have no real frame of reference, each of these songs may be crap compared to her previous works (which I will be buying now...legally).

[Scorpio]

Wow, this is the first full album I've downloaded off the net. WTF? This sounds great. Lou Reed's Metal Machine got released, but this can't?

[auto]

Now that I have the CD quality links, chalk me up as somebody who won't bother to buy the album when it comes out. Fuck Sony.

Fiona Apple should set up a paypal link on her website. I'd gladly send a few dollars her way for the leaked tracks. Or, better yet, make a donation to her favorite charity.

[Zodo]

I just don't understand the logic in not even releasing the album. I mean, if you think it's not worth advertising, then just release it w/o putting any money into advertising...

There must be some clauses in her contract that we don't know about, like if she releases an album Sony must do so much advertising for it.

Most likely. At this point, they are probably less likely to release it due to the leak. With no "hit song" in their opinion, and all the die-hard fans (amongst others) already owning a copy, who is left to buy the actual lp?

[hdtv00]

Id glady paypal 20 bucks straight to Fiona as just a big fuck you to sony as well. I own both her albums and had looked forward to this one. Oh well just most BS from record companies. Cmon people this crap happens ALL the time, forced to change tracks, reedit this or that,songs to long, etc etc. I've heard it all before, which is why most of the artist I listen to are on their own, or have at least come out against the record industry....Prince, Aimee Mann, Fiona, the list could go on forever..record companies are evil and EVERYONE now knows it.

I seriously wish pirating was hurting their sales. Then maybe they'd pull their heads of out their collective asses.
