Notes

Fiona's second release is not as popular as her debut, but the two sound almost identical.  As far as I know this album has the longest album title in the history of music.  The full title is "When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king what he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight and he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring there's no body to batter when your mind is your might so when you go solo, you hold your own hand and remember that depth is the greatest of heights and if you know where you stand, then you know where to land and if you fall it won't matter, 'cuz you'll know that you're right"  The Album is a poem that Apple wrote.  This album charted at number 13 on the billboard top 200.

Recommendations

There is not much of a difference between this one and the debut.  The debut had a couple more hits but that is about it.  I own it mainly so that I own all of her albums.  You can get it cheap and there are a few good tracks.  I only recommend it if you are a Fiona Apple fan or want to own her entire collection.

If you plan on purchasing When The Pawn...

You can usually find this album at your local record stores, however you can usually purchase it for a more reasonable price at Cdnow.com.

If you don't plan on purchasing When The Pawn... but want to hear some tracks from it

For a casual fan most Fiona Apple songs are similar.  However there are a couple standout tracks such as Fast as you can, A mistake, & Limp.  If you are interested in these songs or any others you should visit Itunes or Napster. I also have my ideal compilation on my Fiona Apple Home Page.
