Album Description
Norah has taken a new direction on the The Fall, experimenting with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partners Jesse Harris & Richard Julian. Musicians include drummers Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and James Gadson (Bill Withers), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green), and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer). The first single/video is for the album's lead track 'Chasing Pirates'.

 Why the hate? December 1, 2009

This is a departure from her previous sound. Not a radical departure, but it is not nearly as jazz-based as her previous albums. And if your interests are limited to vocal jazz, then this is not the album for you. But if what you want is a fantastic voice, thoughtful lyrics, and skilled arrangement, then you'll love this album. People deride "pop" music, and with good justification. But this is not American Idol music--this is what you get when you bring real talent to popular sound. If Norah Jones were the rule and not the exception, I'd be an unabashed pop fan. Great album!
 new direction not for me November 29, 2009

I thought her first album was really good, her second outstanding, the third was a snooze fest and the latest is a big disappointment. I understand artists like a change in direction, but in this case I won't be following.
Can't keep a great artist like Nora in a box November 28, 2009
L. Whiley (norfolk,va)
After listening and listening to Miss Jones, I've come to the conclusion that her talents are endless at first listen I was a little dissappointed cause I was stuck on what I thought I knew Nora Jones music was suppose to be. But after giving "The Fall" another chance. I found myself liking her new direction. I'm still her biggest fan.

I have loved Norah since her first album. I like to get on Youtube and listen to those unreleased songs like "Love Me Tender" "I'll be your baby tonight" and others.
Her first album was amazing, the second one had some high points and her third did too just fewer high points. But we still had Norah's voice which I think is her big draw. Listening to her is like laying in a warm bath with a glass of wine. Or next to a glowing fireplace. I just find comfort in that voice.
With this album I can listen to some but not all of the songs. Her voice seems to be behind the music rather than in front or even equal to it. You hear the bass and drums and have to strain to hear her voice.
So as much as I hate to do this I can only call this album average. If I heard it and didn't know it was Norah Jones I would never buy it.
Without passion November 27, 2009

Agree with the other reviewer -- Where did Norah go? I loved her first album, subsequent albums less so, and this one not at all. She sounds so uninterested when she is singing. The songs lack passion, soul, life. Why bother making such an album? Sad.
