Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the dissolution of 'Til Tuesday, Aimee Mann's solo debut established her signature blend of acerbic wit and pristine pop-rock melody. Produced largely by Jon Brion, the record utilizes rich chamber-pop orchestrations to frame her articulate, often cynical meditations on romantic failure and personal apathy.
