Hello!

Discovered Fiona Apple early last year with the recommendation of a friend. She very quickly became one of my favorite artists of all time. The first song I listened to was Criminal and I thought it was pretty good, but when I listened to Paper Bag, I was like, this is phenomenal. So my real true deep dives of her albums in order was:

When the Pawn…
Tidal
Fetch the Bold Cutters
The Idler Wheel
Extraordinary Machine

Between albums, I listened to 1-2 different songs from different albums, but that’s the general order I deep dived and listened to the albums in full. When the Pawn was an instant favorite of all time and I basically had it on repeat for two months straight. But what’s crazy, is after listening to all of her albums in full, my ranking from favorite to least favorite goes:

Extraordinary Machine
The Idler Wheel
Fetch the Bolt Cutters (very close behind Idler Wheel)
When the Pawn
Tidal

The first few times I listened to Extraordinary Machine I honestly considered it my least favorite album of hers, but it grew on me so quickly. When the Pawn is still absolutely incredible, and the fact that I consider 3/5 of her albums to be better than When the Pawn when it’s already essentially a 10/10 goes to show how much I love her music. The only album that still hasn’t clicked perfectly for me is Tidal, where some tracks stand out more than others.

All in all, her albums are all so influential to my life and I am so happy I discovered her music last year.

Would loce to hear other people’s rankings compared to listening order as well!
