The Forgotten Arm»rank: 12777par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Marked by a distinctly more middle-aged melancholy than her previous releases, Aimee Mann's The Forgotten Arm is a successfully conceived story album, following a couple through the life of their relationship. There is much for old and new fans here, as Mann lifts vignettes from the love-and-hate affair of a boxer and his girlfriend like sepia-toned snapshots from a county fair. ln fact, it is in just one of those sticky, hot fairground parking lots where the romance blossoms and progresses 'in the back of a Cadillac, that's her ... |

One More Drifter In The Snow»rank: 816par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne More Drifter in the Snow offers a bittersweet--but not downbeat--look at a holiday that represents the height of happiness for some, the depths of sadness for others. Following in the classy footsteps of Miss Peggy Lee, Aimee Mann takes an intimate approach to an increasingly hectic time of year. ln other words, the set is a throwback to a slower-paced era. (ln cinematic terms, that means more Meet Me in St. Louis, less Jingle All the Way.) There are two fitting originals, 'Calling on Mary' (Mann) and 'Christmastime” (Jon Brion and ... |

I'm With Stupid»rank: 17080par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :What we're getting here is what we've come to expect from this talented songstress: pop arrangements of literate songs that deal with knotty relationships involving lovers, critics, and corporations. Mann co-wrote a song with Elvis Costello for the final 'Til Tuesday album, and it was an apt pairing. Like Costello at his best, Aimee is equal parts adroit and direct. A couplet like 'l came back twice, now l'm the Anti-Christ' or 'A thousand compromises don't add up to a single win' may be accompanied by something a little ... |

Whatever»rank: 17506par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Mann has retired the 'Til Tuesday moniker, but the elements that made Everything's Different Now (1988) so superb--heartrending songs, baroque pop arrangements and lovely melodies--remains intact. Jeff Bateman |

Lost in Space»rank: 18515par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Dividing her time between waging war on the music industry and writing sublime pop songs, Aimee Mann shows on her fourth solo album that she is equally adept at both. 'Let's hear it for guys like me,' she sings over the lilting rhythms and stylish guitar work of 'Guys Like Me.' Her case for toppling the corporate structure is airtight; just check her Web site for the latest bulletin. Her music, meanwhile, keeps getting better. The success of the Magnolia soundtrack may have restored her confidence following the record ... |

Ultimate Collection»rank: 18515par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From :More ironic footnote than ultimate collection, this anthology is a bittersweet reprise of Aimee Mann's troubled major-label career. Take a few 'Til Tuesday tracks (including their 1980s hit, 'Voices Carry'), most of her l'm With Stupid album, some tracks from Whatever, and a whole bunch of B-sides, and you've got--what? Let's call it the penultimate collection, since the songs from Mann's breakthrough Magnolia soundtrack and Bachelor No. 2 album will have to wait for a subsequent, and perhaps more essential, compilation (one not likely to be issued by the ... |

Bachelor No.2»rank: 25857par: Aimee Mann
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Bachelor No. 2 is the product of a woman whose 40th birthday looms months ahead, and it illustrates how a little seasoning has paid off creatively for Aimee Mann. Always an incisive lyricist, the eloquent singer/songwriter further hones her wordplay to a razor-sharp edge. Her subjects are so adroitly sliced and diced that little blood is shed, though they're permanently cut down to size. 'Calling lt Quits' targets some cad who is 'numbering himself among the masterminds 'cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines'. Not that Mann spares ... |
