Listening to this while on the verge of a nervous break is such an experience. The mechanics of the piano arrangements really make you feel like you are running from glass pane to glass pane inside a jar (maybe a bell one, depending on your context). The lyricism is actually beyond masterful. I'm not going to join in on the Brion vs official discourse because quite frankly to each their own, but my one bone to pick is with the tracklisting. If the unofficial uploads are to be trusted, Not Above Love was meant to be the opener, and I so wish it were the same in the official release. As a last remark, it's amazing how many different moods the album can fit, at least for me. You can go into it with a manic headspace or with the most blissful, quirky attitude and it will soundtrack either so well. Fionna truly is, an extraordinary machine.

lo que le falta a extraordinary machine (2005) es inversamente proporcional a lo que le falta a la jon’s brion version. siguen siendo increíble las dos y creo que es la respuesta increíble de un álbum que parecía ser de todos excepto de la mismísima fiona apple. y creo que eso se siente en el álbum. es buenísimo, pero es directamente el que menos quería hacer ella, por diversas razones -el odio de la prensa, drogas, etc-. jon’s brion version era bueno, pero no era un álbum de ella. era de el. y esta versión también se siente igual de rota, pero un poco más arreglada. después de este álbum creció un montón y de ahí la empezamos a ver mucho más metida en el proceso así que gracias a este álbum que además tiene gemines pero para mi la ÚNICA forma de escuchar esto es escuchar los dos álbumes y sacar tus conclusiones

I never heard the Jon Brion version in full, but it's clearly unmastered, difficult to evaluate it for what it is.
