Useful detail

Performance tip

Before performing Extraordinary Machine, practice the word-heavy passages slowly, then bring them back to track speed without clipping consonants. For Extraordinary Machine, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Extraordinary Machine makes sense for a singer who can handle a dense lyric flow and sell the romantic angle. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
