Tidal by Fiona Apple [CD]

Track Listing:
Tidal is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Fiona Apple, released in the United States on July 23, 1996.  It was certified 3x platinum by the RIAA in December 1997.  Tidal produced six singles:  "Shadowboxer", "Slow Like Honey", "Sleep to Dream", "The First Taste", "Criminal" and "Never Is a Promise". "Criminal", the album's most popular single, won a 1998 Grammy Award for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance" and was named the single of 1997 in a poll of Rolling Stone readers.  The music video for "The First Taste" never aired in the U.S.  The 2005 album I've Got My Own Hell to Raise by Bettye LaVette is titled after a lyric in "Sleep to Dream", and includes a cover of that song.  The album was very well received upon release and continues to be highly regarded.  In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named Tidal the 20th Best Album of the last 25 years (1983-2008).  In 2010, Rolling Stone placed it among the greatest albums of the 1990s, at number 83.  A year later, Slant Magazine placed it at number 74.  The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Fiona Apple demonstrates considerable talent on her debut album, Tidal, but it is unformed, unfocused talent.  Her voice is surprisingly rich and supple for a teenager, and her jazzy, sophisticated piano playing also belies her age.  Given the right material, such talents could have flourished, but she has concentrated on her own compositions, which are nowhere near as impressive as her musicianship.  Most of Tidal is comprised of confessional singer/songwriter material, and while they strive to say something deep and important, much of the lyrics settle for clichés.  Apple does have a handful of impressive songs on Tidal, like the haunting "Shadowboxer" and "Sullen Girl," but the gap between her performing talents and songwriting skills is too large to make the album anything more than a promising, and very intriguing, debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic
