Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Tidal is the debut album by Fiona Apple, a New York singer-songwriter-pianist who was 18 years old at the time of its 1996 release. Apple is obviously talented--she has a dark, smoky alto and a knack for an arresting turn of phrase--but she's still several years away from realizing her potential. For every fresh lyric she writes ("Daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary of waiting to be consumed by you"), she provides two examples of embarrassingly precious schoolgirl poetry ("Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red," from the same song, "The First Taste"). She also has yet to refine her moody piano chords into actual melodies, though "Shadowboxer" comes close. --Geoffrey Himes Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - some of the best 90's music you'll find..I still remember when this cd first came out, back in 1996 (around that time). This cd captures some of the best music in the 90's. So take a trip down memory lane and enjoy this. Fiona's subsequent cds are also good. She is very talented vocally and with the piano. Rating: - Her Best Album!I just love this album...beautiful, intense and powerful. My newest favorite is Arrica's new album,La La Lost. Check her out if you like Fiona. Rating: - Bad Girls, Broken Promises, and Berated Lovers [4.5 Stars]Released in 1996 at the height of the female singer/songwriter movement, Fiona Apple's startling debut, Tidal, blatantly refused to be stereotyped as another "wronged-feminist" record. Not to say Fiona shies away from the topic of relationships, (some of the album's best songs deal with angry lovers, unhappy trysts, and lonely nights) she just approaches them in a unique and beautifully raw way. Throughout most of the album, Fiona's sultry alto purrs, snarls, and laments over polished piano and orchestral melodies as electric guitars and heavy drum beats bring the sound together. This interesting fusion of alternative rock and jazz creates one of the saddest, angriest, and sexiest albums of the past few decades. To Fiona, emotion ...

Rich in hit singles ("Shadowboxer," "Slow Like Honey," "Sleep to Dream," "The First Taste," "Criminal," and "Never Is a Promise"), the album also resulted in a Tidal-wave of controversary following Apple's fiery comments at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and 1998 Grammy Awards ceremonies. "Gotta love that Sullen Girl," I thought to myself at the time, and my opinion hasn't changed. There's not a bad Apple in the bunch of album tracks on Tidal: 1. Sleep To Dream 2. Sullen Girl 3. Shadowboxer 4. Criminal 5. Slow Like Honey 6. The First Taste Read More: Rating:  - Apple SauceHave not heard much from Ms Apple except for radio play. Ordered three compact disks at once. Have been working my way thru them. Neither good or bad. Interesting production. |
