LilyJun 10, 2008I agree this is her best since "Bachelor". Fabulous tunes that play in your head even after listening, smart, melancholic lyrics. This is pure Aimee, a quiet bursting of emotions. Love it.

GillesB.Jun 6, 2008As always, aimee delivers a suberb collection of songs... lyrically unique, melodies perfectly crafted. It's true she did not re-invent herself on this record, but why would she?

JeffK.Jun 6, 2008Smoother conceptually, more interesting instrumental arrangements than "Arms." Not quite up to her very best, but certainly more consistent muscially than more recent years.

[Anonymous]Jun 3, 2008It's pretty much more of the same Aimee Mann that you either love or hate. And I love her, but I'm still waiting for something....new or groundbreaking from her.

After 2005 concept album "The Forgotten Arm" was poorly received, Aimee Mann is back to writing stand-alone pop songs, and lo and behold, they comprise her most compelling album to date.
-
As usual that pep is paired with tunes that seep into your brain with the stealth of Mann's own beguiling murmur and lyrics that range from poetic to narrative.
-
This time, the strong songwriting and astute musical arrangements combine to make Mann's latest her best album so far.
