5 stars A true musician --- An incredible work of art
All year long I have been waiting to see who would receive the title of "album of the year" on my personal charts. That album has been released by a musical genius who so far has been more misunderstood than appreciated. "When The Pawn..." is the fulfillment of the promise made by Fiona on her debut album; an amazing musical experiment, a great combination of deep (it's deep people, not weird) lyrics, a sultry voice, and excellent musical arrangements.

3 stars After one listen to this CD, I find I like "Tidal" more.....
I was very disappointed that there are only 10 songs and they all fit on one side of a 90 minute tape for my car. This is something that hasn't happened since the eighties! NO ONE has that short of a cd anymore! It seems we're paying more for less product.We should be paying more for MORE product. I do like some of the songs and I will keep listening to it tho to see if more of the songs grow on me. It's just that I was hooked on Fiona after Tidal and I loved EVERY song on that cd so I am a little disappointed.

Trivia Edit

  • The full album title is: When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring There's no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right
