The controversy surrounding the album and leaked recordings of the Jon Brion sessions were the subject of substantial press attention, as well as a highly publicized fan-led campaign to see the album officially released. In collaboration with producers [[Mike Elizondo]] and [[Brian Kehew]], Apple re-recorded the album over 2004 and 2005, and it was eventually released more than three years after the original recording sessions began. The album was nominated for the [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album]] in 2006. In 2009, ''Extraordinary Machine'' was named the 49th best album of the 2000s by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'',<ref name=RS2009>{{cite news |newspaper=[[Rolling Stone]] |issue=1094/1095 |date=December 25, 2009 |author1=Fricke, David |author-link=David Fricke |author2=Hermes, Will |author3=Hoard, Christian |author4=Rosen, Jody |author4-link=Jody Rosen |author5=Sheffield, Rob |author5-link=Rob Sheffield |pages=47β56 |title=50 Best Albums of the Decade |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-best-albums-of-the-2000s-20110718/fiona-apple-extraordinary-machine-19691231 |access-date=1 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100330120314/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31248017/100_best_albums_of_the_decade/13 |archive-date=March 30, 2010 |url-status=dead |ref=RS2009 }}</ref> and in 2020 was ranked at number 444 on the magazine's list of [[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|the 500 greatest albums of all time]].<ref>{{cite magazine |date=September 22, 2020 |title=The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/fiona-apple-extraordinary-machine-3-1062789/ |access-date=September 24, 2020}}</ref>
