    Played it to death, rated it my favourite album for some time. Never tire of hearing it even now, 4 years later.

    Everything fits here: the voice, the melodies and the lyrics. Pure beauty.

    A classic. Even though some of the songs on this album overlap the "Magnolia" soundtrack, I recommend buying both to fully appreciate the works of both Mann and Jon Brion.

    Nobody does it better than Mrs. Mann. Her pop craftsmanship is startingly beautiful and honest.

    To call Bachelor No. 2 a masterpiece may be overstating the matter somewhat, since an album this intimate and unassuming (but not unconfident) doesn't call attention to itself the way self-styled masterpieces do. However, it isn't hyperbole to call it the finest record Mann has made to date.

    It's an album of tuneful, intimate pop-rock songs...

    Yet again, Mann's songs concentrate on life gone wrong - but this is timeless stuff.
