ReviewsRanked #9 in Spin's "40 Best Albums of 2005in, 4 stars out of 5 - "...Against all odds, EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE lives up to its title as a testimony to its creator's resilience and flexibility....", "...The album places Apple's dusky voice and firm, almost defiant way with piano chords at its center...." - Grade: A, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Apple is a savvy and focused cookie with a playful, malleable contralto....A fine, off-beat listen.", "EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE lives up to its name most when Elizondo echoes Apple's cartoon spookiness on 'Tymps,' which sounds like a '60s Disney soundtrack left out in the sun." - Grade: B, Ranked #66 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006.", Ranked #1 in Entertainment Weekly's 'Top Ten Records of the Year' -- "For all its melodrama, EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE never sounds like the work of a defeated spirit; it's the most paradoxically uplifting music of the year."
