"Fiona Apple's fourth studio album, 'Extraordinary Machine,' has an interesting history. Initially, she collaborated with producer Jon Brion on the album, but after disputes over the direction of the music, the original version of the album was shelved by Apple's record label in 2003. However, a few tracks from those sessions, like "Parting Gift" and "O' Sailor," were leaked online, creating a buzz among fans.

In 2005, a different version of 'Extraordinary Machine' was officially released, produced by Mike Elizondo. This version featured reworked arrangements and additional recordings. Despite the controversy and delays, the album received critical acclaim for its unique sound, lyrical depth, and Apple's distinctive vocal style. The track "Not About Love" and the title track "Extraordinary Machine" are among the standout songs on the album, showcasing Fiona Apple's musical prowess and poetic lyricism."
