I am loving this trend of fabulous female singer/songwriters. Aimee Mann isn't as caustic as Liz Phair, or as weird as Bjork, or as cool as P.J. Harvey, but I still really enjoyed this.

Mann is a very talented lyricist, and her arrangements are amazing. Actually the whole album has really impressive production quality. It almost doesn't need it, because the lyrics are so good, but the songs are very polished, without being too shiny.

We are on a really great batch of albums right now, I hope it continues. At least until I finish cleaning out my closet. 

RATING: 4/5
