Notes

Can you believe she was eighteen when this was released?  Which means she was probably sixteen and seventeen while writing and recording it.  Two of Apple's most popular tracks can be found here.  The album has had huge success since being released and contain 6 singles.  The album charted at 15 on the U.S. billboard top 200.

Recommendations

Not a bad little debut by Apple.  The album is quite mellow, and sounds similar to her next release.  I recommend picking this one up.  It is worth it just for the track Shadowboxer, plus there are a couple hidden gems.

If you plan on purchasing Tidal

You can usually find Tidal at Best Buy or any local record store.  If I can remember correctly, it is a little pricy, somewhere in the 14-16 dollar range.  It's not worth paying that much.  Before you head out to make the purchase, give Cdnow.com a look, I know I purchased it there for $9.49!

If you don't plan on purchasing Tidal but want to hear some tracks from it

Below I have listed my top 5 tracks from the album.  This one isn't loaded with hit after hit, but I do recommend to everyone that they have Shadowboxer & Criminal in their collection.  To download these tracks just visit Itunes or Napster. I also have my ideal compilation on my Fiona Apple Home Page.
