Apr 17, 2020This is such a huge statement as an album. The lyrics are brilliant, incredible instrumental, incredible production, incredible everything. It feels almost like a new statement for music in general, it got too much going on and everything just works incredibly well, nothing like it. It feels like a huge fresh air of a completely original, innovative and refined masterpiece.

Apr 17, 2020Meh. It's good if you're already a fan of Fiona Apple. Unlikely to convince you if you're not.

Jul 4, 2020It's about SONGWRITING. There are so many sharp hooks that multiple songs stick with you for months afterward. The Fiona we've known for decades is still here, with her magnificent, nearly poetic lyricism, sharp tongue, and legendary piano-playing. She yields a new set of weapons with this batch of tracks however; a raw, tactile sense of production.

Jun 26, 2020Best I have ever heard. Amazing. So many layers and gets better and better over time. Learned you need good headphones to capture the nuances of the music. Amazing.

Jul 24, 2020Excelente album, con mucha razón es el mejor disco en criticas, y también por eso muchos comentarios negativos aquí de gentuza envidiosa y sin buen gusto. Sin duda uno de los mejores albums de todos los tiempos.

Jul 1, 2020I'm not too sure what to think of this album. My overall impression is positive, as the album has its moments, but at times it's all a bit too mad for me. Fiona is clearly very talented and creative, but occasionally she just seems to try too hard.

Aug 29, 2020Álbum bem ressoado vocalmente, sua interpretação é máxima. Liríca complexa e criativa; Destaco I want you to love me que é abertura estoante junto com Relay pelo fundo ofegante e Ladies pela letra interpretada.

May 31, 2020Okay so i dismissed this album as some critic-pandering album that just wasn't for me. Then I actually listened to it. It wasn't that.
-
Jun 8, 2020On the first listen, I was excited by all the different sounds I was hearing. Now, fifty or so listens later, it's catchy, it's clever, and it manages to stay fresh.

Sep 1, 2020I don't understand why they think it's the biggest album of the year, songs with lyrics and repetitive sounds on all 13 tracks are the best songs of the year?
The album is cool and I think it is one of the best of Fiona Apple but I don't think "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" is a totally cohesive album. It sounds kind of tiring when I reach the thirteenth track since all the songs have the same sounds.

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]
