Apr 17, 2020Wow this album... It's do different yet exactly something you'd expect from Fiona. The charm that the self produced sounds creates, all the goofy gimmicks, the funky and experimental drum and bass, the repetitions of lines and the story telling lyrics. I'm in love with everything

Apr 17, 2020Entire record is phenomenal from start to finish. Extremely powerful performance.
-
Apr 17, 2020A masterpiece. Fiona Apple continues to be singular. The timing of this release is perfect- as we are all pacing in our homes being slowly swallowed by the stillness of the world. Fiona gives us a way to cope and to punch our way out. What a time to be alive.
-
Apr 17, 2020I have been a fan for years but frankly, this album is one of the best I have ever head. An absolute gem of an album by one of the greatest songwriters still living.

Apr 17, 2020An amazing piece of art. The production here is what sets this album apart from her others, she really shines in her home studio, you can tell how comfortable she is singing these fierce, unabashed lyrics, using her voice as her strongest instrument. This album is so unique, authentic, and powerful. 10/10
-
Apr 17, 2020An incredible album - more instrumentally extravagant and groovier than Idler Wheel, while matching the same level of experimentation! Every lyric is perfect!

-
Apr 18, 2020No one could make an album like this except Fiona Apple, it’s art rock meets jazz with a little hip hop. A very unique and experimental piece of art. It’s good to see her having a breakthrough again.

Apr 19, 2020Brilliant album. After 8 years, certainly didn't disappoint. Amazing writing, production-- a quiet intensity that lasts throughout.
-
Apr 19, 2020I was captivated by the first song, fetch the bolt cutters sounds like the most beautiful cry for freedom, it’s been 8 years and Fiona Apple is free once again.
-

Apr 21, 2020An artist unleashed. It's Fiona Apple, we can't expect anything less. Unconventional and raw. Art at its finest.
-
Apr 22, 2020Its simplicity and experimentation with vocal percussion really paint a clear picture of the potential thoughts and feelings of a creative individual who is trapped or quarantined. It's one of the most accurate depictions of how I currently feel personified into a sound.
-
Apr 22, 2020This is a perfect album i recommend it for everyone a classic. A modern masterpiece. I like the wierd quirky instrumentals that transcribe emotions. And the lyrics were probably my favorite on any fiona apple record
-
Apr 23, 2020
-
Apr 23, 2020All of her albums hold a special spot in my heart. I wasn’t sure she could top the Idler Wheel, but this album is right up there. She never disappoints.
-
Apr 26, 2020Brilliant - will be hard to beat as album of the year. Did not expect to be listening to a Fiona Apple album on repeat this year.
-
Apr 30, 2020Genius; it’s definitely the most difficult of Apple’s albums but upon repeated listens it just keeps getting deeper and more beautiful. It’s fun to try to sing along to. This is is Fiona really being herself and I’m so here for it.
-
Apr 30, 2020Honestly one of my favorite albums of all time already. I’ve loved Fiona for years and never has an album seemed so raw and personal
-
May 1, 2020FTBC is a radical reaction to all that is fake: autotune, glossy Instagram lives, unauthentic lyrics. This album has none of that. Fiona gives us a zero-bs approach to music, taking things even further than what she had done with "The Idler Wheel...". A raw, gritty masterpiece that is not only unafraid of its flaws, but builds on them, rises above them.
-
May 12, 2020Wow, Fiona desde álbumes anteriores nos ha demostrado la calidad en sus álbumes, gracias a ella un nuevo récord por una artista alternativa ha sido dado por el 100, merecido esperemos que los Grammy's no la ignoren por el AOTY que ella merece.
-
Jan 16, 2021De una manera salvaje, genuina, alocada y es increíble lo que hace en este álbum cómo te teletransporta y viajas en cada canción.
-

Jul 8, 2020el álbum siempre mantiene un sonido constante, no hace que pienses que estás escuchando diferentes álbumes, pero implementa ritmos, sonidos y géneros diferentes, lo cual hace que no te quedes dormido. vocales excelentes, te hacen sentir en casa pero en una en medio de la naturaleza, donde lo único que puedes hacer ahí es vivir tu día a día cantando con tus perros y amando estar vivo.
-

Dec 7, 2022It’s just the best album. It’s unbelievable how her humor moves along the whole record. She talks about some many topics in this record and the way she approach them are so particular. It’s Fiona Apple literally. Love this récord could listen all day long non stop

Jul 31, 202010 out of 10!!! tracks feel like deep conversations...full of passion...awesome album!!!
-
Aug 5, 2020Perfect. Lyrical genius as ever with an Apple record. Considering some of the heavy subject matter, it’s light hearted and often amusing. The rhythmic almost rap-like way she delivers some of the lines is a joy and the melodies and piano parts are stunningly beautiful. A real gem.
-
Aug 7, 2020Loved every second of it. From writing, production, vocals, and dogs barking. Fiona did an amazing job

Aug 18, 2020Guttural, soft, cacophonous, and poetic, Fetch the Bolt Cutters is a reminder of Apple’s genius and that we are all interconnected, one people, existing in a pulse.
-
Classic Rock MagazineJul 6, 2020Forget the bolt cutters, Apple's already shed her last shackle. [Summer 2020, p.87]
-
UncutMay 22, 2020Fetch The Bolt Cutters is mostly the soundtrack of liberation, not recrimination, with Apple's piano keys, battering on the walls and barking dogs as its percussive, beating heart. [Jul 2020, p.27]
