Jessie Nelson's poignant tale of a mentally challenged man named Sam (Sean Penn) who recruits a lawyer to help him regain custody of his young daughter leans heavily on the lead character's obsession with Beatles songs, and his innocent trust in their wisdom and emotional truth. It's an artistic gambit that shrewdly lends itself to this mostly rewarding collection of Beatles covers by a wide range of contemporary artists, many of whom no doubt leapt at the chance to record a treasured song by their own musical heroes. The renditions are by and large faithful, and inform the elemental genius of the originals by the strength and variety of the artist's voices alone. The husband-wife team of Aimee Mann and Michael Penn (Sean's brother) can't help but find resonance in "Two of Us," just as Nick Cave's latter-day, heart-on-his-sleeve crooner infatuation makes "Let It Be" all his own. It's the reinterpretations that are riskier. While Paul Westerberg's stripped-down, nasal reading of "Nowhere Man" perceptively underscores Lennon's inherent Dylan fetish and Howie Day turns "Help!" from anxious plea to desperate dirge, Grandaddy smugly alt-rocks the energy right out of "Revolution." The Beatles hardly need anyone to burnish their reputation, but this album goes a long way toward underscoring their most undersung legacy as rock's most transcendent melting pot. -Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars I Am Sam CD.......2006-11-10

Beatle's lyrics combined with today's musical talent. A great combination! If you love the Beatles, you'll love this CD. I keep ordering "one more", it's taking care of a lot of people on my holiday gift giving list!

5 out of 5 stars I AM SAM SOUND TRACK IS GREAT!.......2006-11-04

I REALLY ENJOYED THE MUSIC WHEN I WATCHED THE VIDEO AND FELT INCLINED TO BUY THE SOUND TRACK. I AM GLAD I DID. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTD.

4 out of 5 stars Disc of Beatles Covers Offers Lots of Room for Reinterpretation, Some Quite Wonderful.......2006-07-21

I have to admit I have never seen the 2001 movie from which this soundtrack is based, nor do I know the significance of the Beatles music to the characters. However, once I heard Rufus Wainwright's acoustic cover of "Across the Universe", a touching performance that puts his yearning, mournful voice to good use, I was curious what other surprises could be in store on this disc. I later found out the reason these musicians were recruited for the recording was a matter of economics. Producer Andy Gershon wanted to use the original Beatles recordings, but apparently, Michael Jackson, who owned the rights to the Lennon-McCartney catalogue, was charging $300K for each song they recorded. As it turns out, the resulting disc is pretty solid, offering a great variety of reinterpretations of familiar songs - some quite wonderful, others less so but none too painfully.

Husband-and-wife folk rockers Aimee Mann and Michael Penn kick things off with a pleasing version of the optimistic "Two of Us". Pleasing also describes Sarah McLachlan's take on "Blackbird", which is greatly aided by Sean Ashby's delicate strumming. The pace picks up with the Wallflowers' jaunty "I'm Looking Through You" complete with Rami Jaffee's Austin Powers-sounding keyboards and Jackson Browne providing harmony vocals. Eddie Vedder's uniquely scratchy vocal delivery is well served by "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" where he accompanies himself ably on guitar and harmonica. Ben Harper gets into an appropriately psychedelic mood for "Strawberry Fields Forever" with particularly lush strings and fulsome horns, though he gets carried away with the bombastic ending.

Things start to fluctuate at this point in the disc. Sheryl Crow sounds somnambulant and rather constricted on a country-twanged "Mother Nature's Son", a sub-par choice for her slick performing style; and the plaintive Ben Folds barely registers on the too-brief "Golden Slumbers". In the one track that sounds like a Fab Four impersonation (or more accurately, a Beatlemania facsimile), the Vines cover "I'm Only Sleeping" in a comparatively generic manner. The Stereophonics make "Don't Let Me Down" sound like a mid-1970's Rod Stewart pop-rocker, while the Black Crowes put their familiar blues-oriented stamp on the most psychedelic of Beatles songs, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds".

Chocolate Genius, led by Marc Anthony Thompson, refashions John Lennon's touching paean to his mother, "Julia", into a hazy dirge that actually brings a surprising resonance to the song. However, sounding a bit too much like MacLachlan, singer-songwriter Heather Nova lends little distinction to her version of "We Can Work It Out", granted one of the most lightweight songs in the Lennon-McCartney canon. Howie Day effectively slows down "Help!" into an atmospheric, almost halting plea of quiet desperation. Dylan sound-alike Paul Westerberg croaks through "Nowhere Man" with little flair; and in perhaps the biggest departure from the original, the now-defunct indie band Grandaddy turns "Revolution" into a chugging slow-poke rocker. On the final track, Aussie musician Nick Cave lends his recognizably barren style to a somewhat desultory "Let It Be". It's a mixed bag for sure, but what really comes across is the unbeatable craftsmanship and magical yin-and-yang perfection of Lennon and McCartney.

5 out of 5 stars Strawberry Fields Forever!...FIVE STARS PLUS for this music!.......2006-05-09

It will always be incredibly challenging to match the artistic talent that The Beatles possessed. Nevertheless, this set of songs by the artists on this CD is as good as it gets to achieving a proper, respectful tribute to The Beatles with thoughtful and passionate cover songs.

The CD has a whopping 17 tracks for almost an hour of music from the movie (or inspired by the movie) I Am Sam. The music was beautifully woven into the movie; but even with just this CD you'll be blown away! It's a must-have for fans of The Beatles, the artists here, and fans of great rock everywhere.

The CD starts off strong with a rendition of "Two Of Us" by Aimee Mann and Michael Penn. I think their personal relationship helped make them harmonize so well for this song. The Black Crowes do an excellent job with the musical arrangement for "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds;" the drums are first-class! Sheryl Crow injects a great country music accent to "Mother Nature's Son." Sarah McLachlan performs a very sensitive rendition of "Blackbird;" and the CD ends beautifully with one of my very favorite Beatles songs, "Let It Be" performed by Nick Cave with Chaz Jankel on piano. Awesome!

Amazon writes that some of the "reinterpretations (on this album)...are riskier." I don't agree. While risks were taken, you won't know it! For example, Grandaddy does a great job of adding their own spice to "Revolution" and Paul Westerberg's voice was rather pleasing to my ear on "Nowhere Man."

The quality of the sound is excellent; and all of the musical arrangements are very thoughtfully produced. The liner notes come with a few color pictures from the motion picture I Am Sam; and you also get the song credits.

Overall, this CD is the product of an exceptionally talented group of artists who perform a noticeably sensitive suite of covers of great Beatles songs. This album will touch a nerve in you and leave you wondering why they couldn't have recorded even more. The singers expressed even the finest of nuances in the meanings of every word in every song; and I treasure this album as one of my preferred CDs. If this were a vinyl album I would have worn the grooves off of it long ago.

5 out of 5 stars Touching Movie, Beautiful Soundtrack.......2006-04-15

The music on this soundtrack compliments the movie alot. They're deep songs that fall into a deep story of a mentally ill man fighting for his right to care for his daughter. The songs on this CD are all meaningfull. They are all based off of Beatles songs. This album is 100% worth buying along with the movie.

This, Anonymous 4's final recording, is a break from their usual "early music" periods and locations; it presents American music, religious in nature, from the 18th and 19th centuries. And it's absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Their normal, exquisite technique and purity here blend to sound the way we imagined the ladies' choir in church meetings in America past might have sounded: sweet, sincere, and with harmonies recognizable yet somehow fresh. Some of the songs begin with the women singing "fa, so la" exercises, which was called "shape note" singing because some places taught singing with notes as shapes--circle, rectangle, diamond, triangle. But it's the music that counts, and there are treasures here. They include two versions of "Amazing Grace," one familiar, one with an unusual melody and a piece called "Blooming Vale" which is as sophisticated as anything on their previous albums. "Shall We Gather at the River" is performed with a clarity and loveliness that makes us forget that it's normally sung as background to movies about the Great Depression. The foursome sometimes sing in rich harmonies and occasionally alone or in pairs or trios. This is glorious Americana and highly recommended. --Robert Levine

5 out of 5 stars spiritual americana.......2007-01-06

I have some of the older Anonymous 4 recordings which are more medieval
and gregorian in style (I love them!). They move on to cover spiritual
basics of the 1800s. If you like classical music, perfect harmonies
and spiritual americina, then you will be blessed!

5 out of 5 stars Rich Heritage.......2006-10-11

Anonymous 4 consistently produces exquisite and authentically beautiful recordings and this one presents early American hymns in ways few groups can manage. Some tunes are highly recognizable while others are 'new' to me but a refreshing reminder of the singing heritage of religious societies in times past. For those who enjoy old hymns and authentic renderings, this is a must buy.

5 out of 5 stars Superb .......2006-08-07

This collection of American Christian music is not only an enthralling musical experience but a spiritually uplifting one as well. Anonymous Four have transferred their luminous vocal quality to a new space with perfect success.

5 out of 5 stars Can't walk away from it!.......2006-08-07

My only "complaint" about the CD is that I absolutely HAVE to sit and listen to the entire thing whenever I start it up! I usually have music playing in the background while doing other things, but not this one! There are no tracks that I find myself wanting to skip over as in most collections. In fact, I usually find myself going back and listening to selected tracks again (and again and...) after taking the hour+ to listen to the whole thing through once.

These four ladies produce a unique and remarkable sound. I can't recommend it enough.

5 out of 5 stars Mana from Heaven.......2006-05-08

I think the title of this CD is perfect. I first heard an interview for this CD on Public Radio and fell in love. I had never heard Anonymous 4 before then but look for all I can find of their music now. The title is perfect as the women sound like Angels and the music lifts the spirit. I find myself singing the old version of Amazing Grace all the time now. Incredible and a huge blessing to all who hear it.

The much anticipated follow-up to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, Magnolia features a specially orchestrated soundtrack, largely written and performed by Aimee Mann ('Til Tuesday member and sadly overlooked solo artist). Mann's voice has always been a suitable vehicle for conveying emotional turmoil and indelible sadness, and several tracks here ("Build That Wall," "You Do," "Driving Sideways") do so with the rich melodicism that informs her best work. Producer Jon Brion's sprightly horn arrangements for "Momentum" are an unexpected (though not completely unwelcome) splash of cold water. Only Mann's cover of the Harry Nilsson-penned Three Dog Night hit "One" backfires, as it simply doesn't deliver the same effective climax as the original. The two Supertramp tracks from their Breakfast in America LP tacked on at album's end are incongruous (though they cut down the degrees of separation between them and Mann to an incredible one!). However, for anyone with an interest in Mann's melodic songwriting, there are eight worthy originals waiting for you. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Mann....Oh Mann..........2007-04-25

This review refers to the soundtrack of "Magnolia"(CD)
see below for link to the film score

"Magnolia" was a one of a kind film. Not only for it's amazing cast, unique story and great filming, but the soundtrack is one that will touch you to your very core. Aimee Mann's words and music are stirring, and tell a story of life that is so relateable, that P.T. Anderson wrote the screenplay based on her works, all the different character stories that converge stemming from the character of Claudia. Don't worry though, if you are fan of Mann, but have not seen this film, this is an album that stands on it's own. One that you will never seem to get enough of.

The CD has 13 tracks from the film, every one a winner. Most are written and performed(9 of the tracks) by Mann, and even the opening with "One" not written by Mann, she makes it her own with a fresh take and the mood is set. "Momentum", "Build That Wall" "Deathly", "Driving Sideways", and 'You Do" follow and the words and music have such feeling you cannot helped be touched by the story they tell. One of human emotions that you will either relate to or be touched by. "Nothing is Good Enough" is a fine instrumental, that needs no words. Mann's final two selections are 'Wise Up" and "Save Me". Supertramp adds their wonderful talents with "Goodbye Stranger", 'Logical Song" both excellent tunes that I find nice for drive time, as well as "Dreams" from Gabrielle" . The album closes with "Magnolia" from John Brion's superb score.

The CD sound is excellent. It comes with a booklet with some notes from P.T. Anderson, the songs and the words, and some film pix. Fans of the film can relive all the very human moments again and again, and if you weren't a fan of Aimee Mann before you will be now. Fans of Mann, will enjoy this album that is definitive of her muisc, her style and intuitiveness for saying what we may be feeling.

If you are looking for just the score(also marvelous on it's own), that is also available atMagnolia (Score to 1999 Film) (Score to 1999 Film). There are some excellent reviews there of the album. This soundtrack is also available here:Magnolia
so you can check both of these sites for best deals and availability.

I've written close to 1,000 reviews here and I don't think I've ever said this before..If I could go more then 5 stars I would, but it's true of this album.

I'll leave this with some words by Mann's "Save Me":

"You look like - A perfect fit -
For a girl in need - Of a tourniquet -
But can you save me -Come on and save me
if you could save me - from the ranks- Of the freaks
who suspect - they could never love anyone...."

Enjoy....Laurie


5 out of 5 stars Magnolia Soundtrack.......2006-08-07

I love every song on this CD, Aimee Mann did a great job on the score. I would recomend this CD highly.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT.......2006-05-08

Aimmee Mann is an absolutely talented artist, and her contributions to Magnolia are of nothing less than what is to be expected of her. Each of her songs has its own taste, its own feel, and its own uniqueness to it. She definately doesn't try to overdo any of her songs on the popularity factor.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the soundtrack is fantastic too. Hell, "Dreams" is now my top inspirational song of all time, yes, past the Rocky song "Eye of the Tiger."
If you're a fan of Aimee Mann, you have to have this album. If you liked the movie, you have to have this album. Buy it.

5 out of 5 stars one of the GREATEST soundtracks ever in history!!.......2006-03-07

"SAVE ME", was the oscar nominated song off this soundtrack.
it lost, unfortunately, to a forgettable cartoon monkey love song by phil collins from disney.
"Magnolia" told the story of 9 lives intertwined in one night.
very depressing, raw, and devistatingly real.
3 other songs you can find also from aimee mann's, "bachelor no.2" cd. an excellent piece of masterful writing as well as lyrical depth and sharpness. you won't find a better cd than this for a film. aimee tells it like it is.....and then some!

3 out of 5 stars Mannfred Mann and the Earth Band are not the same!.......2007-01-23

Mannfred Mann's Earth Band formed in 1971 and is a later incarnation of Mannfred Mann.

For the "charming original" of "The Mighty Quinn" get Mannfred Mann's Greatest Hits instead. I prefer the version here; it's from the "Watch" album.

The Earth Band had a lot of hit or miss material in the late '70's and '80's. I still drag out "Angel Station" from time to time and play a couple tracks from it, but I'd skip it unless you have time and money to blow to mine for the good stuff.

Get "Roaring Silence" and "Watch" and you've pretty much got their best.

3 out of 5 stars Very mistitled album, hardly the best of MMEB........2005-09-08

When I ordered this CD ages ago, it was the only Manfred Mann's Earth Band CD available here in the States. When it arrived, I was horrified to discover that as a "Best Of", it completely skips the first five MMEB albums, focusing instead on the "hits" from the later era of the band. How they could call this the best, when they completely ignore the classic "Solar Fire" album? Nothing from "The Good Earth", nothing from "Messin", "Glorified Magnified" nor their self-titled debut. If you can get past those glaring omissions, the songs that are here are all good. MMEB never really released a bad album between 1972 and 1980, so you can't go wrong with any of the material from that era. This is a nice collection for their biggest hits and it's usually very cheap, so definitely worth a listen. However, for the real deal, skip this and just buy "Solar Fire", "Nightengales & Bombers", and "The Good Earth". Those are the classics. Anyway, this is completely mistitled and almost criminally misleading. Not the best by a long shot. Buy and learn at your own risk.

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 It Quits" targets some cad who is "numbering himself among the masterminds 'cause he's hit upon the leverage of valentines." Not that Mann spares herself from a steely assessment: "I know I had it coming / From a Caesar who was only slumming" she admits in "The Fall of the World's Own Optimist." Though this 13-track collection borrows three songs from its immediate predecessor, Mann's soundtrack to Magnolia, its musical ingenuity and consistency (notable considering five different production teams are credited here) make the scattered redundancies irrelevant. Mann's artistic growth has been evident with each new release, and Bachelor marks her biggest leap forward to date. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars 10 of the best ever.......2007-06-29

Aimee Mann will likely go down in history as one of the best songwriters of her generation. There is no question that she has a scholarly wit and a devilish sense of humor. We're all lucky that she shares her talent with the world. Bachelor No. 2 is the best example of Aimee's endless talent. Practically every line of every song is a poem, a story, a song if its own. When Aimee sings "Now that I've met you, would you object to never seeing each other again" to begin Deathly, you know she means business. "Just Like Anyone" is less than 2 minutes long, but Aimee's tender words and vocals are regretful, bitter, desperate, denying, and honest. "Red Vines" is yet another standout on an album of standouts, and quite possibly her best overall song ever. Thank you Aimee for such a wonderful catalog of music, particularly the last remains of the dodo.

5 out of 5 stars grows.......2007-06-11

this cd grows on you and is pleasant and complex at the same time. just really good music and an artist that you should own.

5 out of 5 stars Aimee's "Sgt. Pepper's" Album!.......2006-03-22

I'll try to be fair since she is my favorite artist but this is by far the best and most complete album Aimme Mann has made. A bit more mature from Whatvever and I'm With Stupid. Aimee finds her knack. And she has not dissappointed us with Lost In Space and The Forgotten Arm. These are her best albums by far. But Bachelor #2 is just awesome. It starts out strong and ends so pleasantly. Some disagree but You Do is a great and moving song. She played it in West Palm at her last show and I was blown away.
You also get a few tracks that appear on her Magnolia CD which is nice. The best songs on here are Red Vines, Deathly, you know I can't say there are best songs because it's great from beginning to end. If you have any interest in Aimee Mann or even remember 'Til Tuesday then you must get this disc. It's a must! You won't be dissapointed.

"driving sideways, if you roll down the window you'll see , you're where you don't belong "

Her lyrics will blow you away.

5 out of 5 stars by far her best album to date!!.......2006-03-05

anyone needing to be introduced to her music?
look here and start with this.
BACHELOR NO.2 also was involved for the success
of the "MAGNOLIA" soundtrack-- about 3 or 4 songs
from the bachelor album.
favorite is "red vines" and "calling it
quits"

5 out of 5 stars Grudge against man(n)?.......2005-12-10

Stepping out a bit of my usual music comfort zone to review Aimee Mann is testamony that she is one mighty artist/performer indeed. I was introduced to Mann thru rave reviews in Rolling Stone's Album Guide (2004 ed.) as her solo career was already well into full throttle. And what a pleasant surprise this introduction to her unique musical world was. Summing up Aimee Mann is not an uncomplicated task. Like a child, she initially comes across as a bit cloying, later only to cut you to shreds through her acrobatically biting and literary verse and chorus.

The music on Bachelor No. 2 runs the spectrum from quiet yet scathing commentary (Nothing is Good Enough) to the defiantely rocking (Deathly). Almost everything on Bachelor No. 2 is a resounding success, thanks to the combo of Mann's smart and unusual wordplay, assured melodies, and solid musicianship all around. Even when Mann resorts to dropping the "F" bomb in stunning opener How Am I Different?, one gets the idea that she is simply displaying a flippance over her romantic situation rather than being blatantly disgusted by it. Another in a string of highs is The Fall of the World's Own Optimist, cowritten by Mann's esteemed male predecessor Elvis Costello. Though one doubts after listening to the prevailing themes throughout No. 2 that the optimist she speaks of was ever herself. Mann more likely sees the rest of the world as unwitting optimists, and her sharp, cunning eye and sweet lips are the device to lay plain these optimists naivety. However, Mann shows the vulnerability of falling victim to these traps herself through her secret yearning of the subjects in which she sings. Kudos!

For more rocking and possibly even more emotional renditions of several of these songs and others from her now 12-year solo career, pick up a copy of Live at St. Anne's Warehouse.

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. In 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 asleep in the mirror in back." The syncopated, bluesy melodies and strong ensemble of musicians make for a polished effort, and Mann's gimlet eye doesn't miss much--from the seductive pain of addiction, bout-induced memory loss, and finally to the inevitable discussion about having (or not) a baby. If indigo is the mood for most of Mann's work, then The Forgotten Arm may be closer to lavender, given the seasoned humor and perspective evident in standout tracks such as "That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart" and "She Really Wants You." This one's a keeper. --Megan Halverson

Album Description

The Forgotten Arm is the new studio album from the Grammy and Oscar nominated singer/songwriter Aimee Mann. Aimee's songs have a literary quality to them — sharp, spare short stories set to music — so it was probably inevitable that she would one day make a concept album, the musical equivalent of a novella. The Forgotten Arm , her fifth solo release, is exactly that: a dozen songs that tell, rather loosely, the story of John and Caroline as they meet, fall in love and road trip across America.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Someone stop Joe Henry before he "produces" again!.......2007-02-08

I'm serious, get this guy out from behind the mixing console!!

Aimee says (on her web site) that Joe Henry only spent a few days recording this album, and that he went for minimalist arrangements. Boy, does it show! For the record, I own and enjoy most of Joe's CDs and all of Aimee's CDs (including Till Tuesday but not including the Magnolia soundtrack). But the production here is just strange, with lots of instruments in mono panned hard right or left, and every track has the trailing sound of some instrument dragging on for too long before the fadeout - gaaa!!

Joe H. also ruined the latest CD from Susan Tedeschi - she doesn't even play guitar on it for cripe's sake! I mean think of it: a CD by a blues guitarist upon which said guitarist doesn't play? What were they thinking?

Another gripe: seems like singers who do more studio work than live performing are prone to end up mumbling their words quietly into the mic. I'm sad to say that Aimee is now solidly in this camp, which is a shame. I prefer dynamic singers, the energy they lend to the song is part of what I really enjoy.

Lastly, I like sad depressing songs, but "I was thinking I could clean up for Christmas" isn't the good kind of sad - it's a huge soul-sucking downer that I could have done without.

OK, I give this 3 stars because it is better than most stuff out there, but not up to Aimee's usual excellent level.

5 out of 5 stars Aimee Mann is the Stuff!!.......2007-01-30

What can I say? Aimee Mann is brilliant and her music is, too! A big fan since Til Tuesday and she keeps getting better!

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous.......2007-01-11

i've been purchasing music off Amazon for about 5 yrs and have never written a comment before now. This album is beautiful in the realest way. Every song and the booklet with the illustrations. from beginning to end.

5 out of 5 stars Every bit as good as Magnolia... maybe better.......2006-11-03

I love this CD. I've been a fan of Aimee Mann since her Magnolia CD. Then I heard something from The Forgotten Arm on NPR and had to check it out. I was not disappointed. It was every bit as good... maybe better (maybe because this CD doesn't have Super Tramp!?!?).

5 out of 5 stars BUY IT and give it more than one listen..........2006-10-13

I thought Lost In Space was just brilliant. I got Forgotten Arm very soon after it was released and didn't like it at all at first.

Many months later I started to spin it again and looked at the drawings along with the story....I mean SONGS.

This isn't just a music album, this is an amazing expression from a truly amazing artist, Aimee Mann. Every song is a chapter to a larger story about a couple and sometimes a song is from the girls perspective and sometimes it's his. Sometimes it's both in the same song.

It's not a happy smiley story but it feels so REAL. This is about living life and trying to overcome the difficulties. The music is great, I love the older style recording, the piano is right on, lots of acoustic guitar on this one. Aimee's voice is as good as ever, raw and unable to mask her artist expression.

If she releases an album half this good in the future I will be a happy man. Thank you Aimee for defying the industry and writing what you want and creating a true classic. Please come play Nashville.

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 "I came back twice, now I'm the Anti-Christ" or "A thousand compromises don't add up to a single win" may be accompanied by something a little more to the point--"Don't you know you're a fucking freak in this world?" Mann and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion keep the songs pithy and punchy, bringing on guests like Juliana Hatfield (on the particularly intoxicating "You Could Make a Killing"), Suede alumni Bernard Butler, Michael Penn, Chris Difford, and Glenn Tilbrook for occasional adornment, but mostly maintain a hands-on approach. The result frequently recalls Abby Road-period Beatles, which isn't a bad source. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars best aimee album.......2007-01-10

I consider this the best album of Aimee, each song is a story by itself, it is a masterwork; Long shot, Ray, That's just what you are and Amateur are my favorite..... I love this album...!!!

5 out of 5 stars Worth buying........2007-01-04

With her strong emphasis on voice and unique lyrics, Aimee Mann's songs of depression and dysfunction are enough to brighten anyone's day. More upbeat and active than Mann's usual work-but with downers like Ray and Par for the Course mixed in-this album shows just how varied one singer can be. The long conclusions of a few songs can be a bit distracting, but it doesn't take away from her strong voice. An overall treat for any Aimee fan.

5 out of 5 stars Irresistible.......2006-11-25

I was lucky enough to have worked on this record and it remains one of my favorites to date. The earnestness with which Aimee approaches her songwriting coupled with the nuanced and colorful touches by Jon Brion combined to give us a fantastic record full of tender sarcasm and pithy cynicism....it expresses a part of Aimee's quirky and intelligent self beautifully. I love this record and if you like music that makes you feel and think then yhou might too...'Amateur' is one of the most elegant and touching pop balladds ever.

5 out of 5 stars My favourite album of all time.......2006-06-13

1. Longshot - 9/10 - Aimee Mann MUST have personally written this one for my ex boyfriend
2. Choice in the Matter - 10/10 - "Skip the cloak and dagger bit, don't you know we're sick of it?" haha
3. Sugarcoated - 10/10 - definitely the best song on this album. Anyone can relate to this song.
4. Could Make A Killing - 10/10 - this is the song that made me go out and buy the album in the first place
5. Superball - 11/10 - All I can say is 'WOW'
6. Amateur- 10/10 - I cried so many times over this song
7. All Over Now -10/10- Yet another one dedicated to my ex and I liked the superball reference at the end
8. Par For The Course - 8/10 - An okay favourite song
9. You're With Stupid Now - 9.5/10 - such a sad song
10. That's Just What You Are - 10/10 - Words never rang so true
11. Frankenstein - 11/10 - Great great lyrics
12. Ray - 7/10 - My least favourite song
13. It's Not Safe - A long but well done song

another mann masterpiece also delayed from the idiots that be behind the record labels.
they didn't hear that "hit single for the radio", and shelved
this cd. however, it saw the light of day 2 yes. later.
the whole album is mann's horrible experience with producing
and making a record with dumbasses behind the hit factory.
excellent songs, great songwriting style. the song
"amateur" is in the gwyneth paltrow film,"sliding doors"

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

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A timeless work of "audio art".......2007-02-20

During the extended avalanche of grunge and rap in the 90's, this CD offered a refuge for those who craved great pop music with melody, harmony, and lyrics with substance. Aimee Mann's "Whatever" is a truly remarkable CD featuring 13 tracks of sonic GOLD!

In my opinion, Amiee Mann spent the 80's climbing to this very high point. Her work with "'til tuesday" managed to improve with each release. The 80's were an outstanding decade for pop and rock, but the "new wave" formula often used (and exploited by early 'til tuesday) had to be tossed aside for Aimee to truly shine. The 90's may have been a huge train wreck for the music industry, but Aimee Mann was shining brighter than ever!

One cannot review this CD without mentioning the production by Jon Brion (Aimee's 'til tuesday band mate). Nothing short of amazing!

I purchased this CD on the very day it was released back in the early 90's. It has since become a timeless work of "audio art", one of the few truly GREAT albums of the era.

-JM

5 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-01-10

a strong and great album, good melodies, good production; a well written and well sung album.
aimee is a wonderful artist.

5 out of 5 stars excellent solo debut for aimee..........2006-03-05

aimee wrote this album right after disbanding 'til tuesday.
her songs on this cd were supposed to be for a 4th 'til
tuesday album, but the way things went, mann decided to
go solo, and the result is perfect.

5 out of 5 stars One of Aimee Mann's best!.......2005-08-15

Like all Aimee Mann albums, every single song that this one has is a good listen!

3 out of 5 stars Fine debut........2005-05-05

Aimee Mann's debut album, "Whatever", is a quirky collection of off-kilter guitar driven pop-- many of the trademarks in Mann's music are already in place, the sarcastic lyrics, male harmony vocals, and fantastic songwriting are there, but the music is a bit different than we'd see-- there's some pieces that point to the future, but largely, this is an album of jangly indie pop music.

The music excels at its best when Mann manages to coax her saracastic lyric and deadpan vocal into a sort of aggressive, ecstatic delivery ("I Should've Been Known", "Put Me On Top"), or when it clearly points to the feax-folky direction that would be coming in years to come (the brilliantly melancholy "4th of July", "Stupid Thing"). There's a couple misfires on this one as a result (sacchriney pop song "Could've Been Anyone", the conceptually brilliant but lifelessly executed "Jacob Marley's Chain"), although this is all going to be pretty subjective, the music is pleasant enough, some of it just lacks bite.

Its a beginning, and better things are to come-- if you're interested in Mann, don't start here, check one of the more recent albums, but if you've got those, this makes for an interesting listen.

We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man! The story of his life is told in a way that is very interesting and holds the children's attention while also using various pieces of his music in the narration. It is done VERY well! My children are gaining a tremendous amount of knowlege and appreciation for music through this CD and so are my husband and I!
