grantwjOct 6, 200210The Rolling Stone review is simply sillly. Mark Kemp knocks Humpty Dumpty in the most trite manner with the paranthetic comment "guess who can't put baby back together". Mark, did you actually read the lyrics? Oh well - And your wisemen don't know how it feels to be as thick as a brick.

JimT.Sep 2, 200210Ignore the Rolling Stone review! This is a gorgeous CD...period! Aimee Mann deserves a lot more recognition, and a lot more radio time!

MrBobertzAug 5, 200310How can I sum this up? Incredible? Hardly does it justice, does it. Not that it is perfect, it does have its flaws. Many songs do sound similar, but can you ever have too much of a good thing? But then, they aren't THAT similar. If I could, I'd give it a 9.5. But I can't, so I gave it a 10.

MichelleS.Dec 30, 200410Aimee Mann is one of the best artists around--the timbre of her voice is beautiful and unmistakable, her melodies are amazing, and her words cut you to the core. Although I listen to his album all the time, I've found that it's absolutely perfect for a rainy day.

SteveW.Aug 22, 200210Sensually-textured sounds create a moody ambiance that alternatively soars and dips low over a river in turmoil seeking its prey.

RobertS.Sep 10, 200210Fantastic in its songwriting, wonderful in its musical direction, and with that beyond beautiful voice, should be rated # 1 everywhere.

JButlerSep 2, 200210the theme of dissecting the past lamentations of surburbia, after the fifities is being ignored as a subtext in this CD. The illustrations which come with the CD are worth the price alone...as usual the songs are genius.

SamG.Aug 22, 200210I've been a Mann fan since her earliest "Til Tuesday releases. This is easily her most cohesive, arresting work.

MatthewS.Aug 29, 200210this disc is rich in Mann's unique storytelling. The delivery is subdued with regret and wisdom gleaned from experience. Mann's melodies and stories hook the listener from beginning to end.

francinesOct 27, 200410I think this cd is beautiful. With thought provoking lyrics and meleodies that melt your soul. The combination is just amazing.

SamDOct 2, 20059i guess im kinda biased since 'it's not' perfectly describes my life but other than that its all good other than 'this is how it goes'

ElizabethDJan 25, 200510I think this album is probably the best album I've ever heard. Aimee Mann is my favorite singer/songwriter for a reason, and that is that she is able to write beautiful, thought-provoking songs, with great lyrics and a melodic line. In my opinion she is a true musical genius.

AustinAApr 22, 200510Best work yet. With depressing lyrics and eerily beautiful songs, this will fill the deep void within your heart.

LarryS.Oct 18, 20027Very strong songwriting is somewhat undermined by her vocal style, which tends to make the songs sound the same. The album is also a bit overproduced for my taste.

JohnC.Sep 14, 200210Fantastic! I am a long time fan, and I am amazed how much she changes from cd to cd. Lost In Space is rich, warm, and deep. It is some of her best work.

AllanFFeb 22, 200610This is honestly one of the only albums I'd ever rent a 10. The emotion she puts into this album is amazing. It's a dark, sad and bleak look into depression and addiction, but during the whole way you feel like she's right there next to you, and making something beautiful out of it.

80Textured and complex. [Oct 2002, p.108]

70Michael Lockwood's production occasionally affects a sound akin to a Vonda Sheppard reared on black dreams and Russian literature. [Oct 2002, p.98]

80[Mann has] returned to writing songs which are wry, funny, adult and perceptive, all wrapped up in handsome melodies. [Oct 2002, p.112]
