Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 company strife that followed her first two solo releases--Whatever and I'm With Stupid--but the wounds have not healed. "All the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero", the former 'Til Tuesday singer imparts over the layered, lush tones of the opening "Humpty Dumpty". Meanwhile, on the emotionally distressed "It's Not", she muses over a forlorn 16-piece string section, "I keep waiting for a change but I don't know for what". It could be the prettiest, most polite battle cry ever. --Aidin Vaziri

CD Description
Fifth solo album for singer-songwriter and former 'Til Tuesday frontwoman, following 2000's 'Bachelor No.2'. An understated production with subtle electronic flourishes showcases Mann's expressive guitar work and eloquent lyrics, this timedealing mostly with themes of alienation and regret. Recorded with pop producer Ryan Freeland (Bon Jovi, Corrs, Christina Aguilera).

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay so, it's not The Breeders, but it still rocks!, 27 Sep 2002
By A Customer
I have passed by Aimee Mann CD's a few times whilst rummaging for Natalie Merchant, but never bothered to purchase one. However, I started listening to this CD through headphones in a record shop and did not remove them until the album was complete. I purchased the CD, but following a few more plays I started to wonder if it was all a tad similar. The pace is relatively consistent throughout, with the occasional impressive bursts of guitar (especially in Pavlov's Bell). However, I have listened to it quite a lot over the past week, and its subtle depth is making itself more apparent with every additional playing. Aimee has quite a distinctive voice in its clarity and intonation. Her lyrics at first could appear simplistic and nothing out of the ordinary, but that is the eloquence of it all... her ability to simplify what many artists feel they have to complicate to gain any creditability. The tracks I am most enamoured by are 'Humpty Dumpty', 'Lost in Space', and 'Pavlov's Bell'. As an avid follower of 'The Breeders' and indie -rock, I am more prone to fuzzy kicking music with a quirk. Oddly enough, Aimee Mann is starting to fit the bill. This music has a kick... if a very delicate one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Found in Sitting Room, listening compulsively....., 23 Sep 2002
By A Customer
I too only discovered Aimee Mann after Magnolia and have looked forward to the release of Lost in Space for months. And it was worth it.Right from the opening chords of Humpty Dumpty, through to the closing of It's Not, you step into an emotional rollercoaster which runs you through the mill and back again. obsession and addiction seems to be the waft thread upon which the entire cd is woven, whether it be to love or drugs or at times both. The irony of this is that the obsession will become yours on purchase, this is an album that begs to be heard and within days You will play it compulsively. Stand out tracks have to be Invisible Ink and It's Not, however it it's entirity it is so superbly "complete" that it's hard to single out any particular song. Buy it. Now.

5.0 out of 5 stars An astonishing piece of work from Aimee Mann, 25 Oct 2002
By Joshua J. Seymour "darkjosh" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I had never heard of Aimee Mann before I watched Magnolia. Her songs caught my attention, so I quickly bought myself the Magnolia soundtrack and her album Bachelor No.2, which both came out in 1999. But neither of those brilliant collections of songs hinted at what Mann would acheive with Lost In Space. This album is transcendent, beautiful and uplifting. It's worth buying if you like listen to well-crafted, meaningful songs with lyrics as important as the singing. And the lyrics here really are important. Mann brilliantly gets across her points on drugs, depression, and love. Here are my song reviews:

1. Humpty Dumpty- A great start to the album, with ironic lyrics and lilting melodies. 9/10

2. High on Sunday 51- A real slow-burner, which is slightly less great than other tracks, but still solid 7.5/10

3. Lost in space- An excellent, memorable title track, which lingers in the mind for days. 9/10

4. This is how it goes- Rocky, memorable, nice song. 8/10

5. Guy's like me- A catchy song, with clever lyrics. Not a classic though. 8/10

6. Pavlov's bell- One of the best songs on the album. Rocky, catchy and showcasing Aimee's great talent for writing lyrics full of meaning. 10/10

7. Real bad news- This song definitely isn't real bad news. It has relatable lyrics, and a memorable singalong-esque chorus, which shows off Aimee's voice, and further hammers home the depressing themes this album focuses on. 9/10

8. Invisible Ink- A masterpiece. The lyrics are wonderfully expressive, and Aimee's voice has rarely sounded more beautiful and fragile. And the chorus is unforgettable, sounding a bit like Aimee's response to the (in my opinion, stupid) people who believe she has become stuck in a rut..."Nobody wants to hear this tale/ The plot is cliched, the jokes are stale/ And baby we've all heard it all before..." 10/10

9. Today's the day- Another brilliant song. The lyrics are hopeful, and Aimee's voice is emotional and wonderfully strained. 9/10

10. The Moth- The lyrics are masterfully metaphorical, but this song isn't as catchy as most of the others, and slightly more forgettable. 7.5/10

11. It's Not- Simply stunning. The backing is beautiful, and Aimee's singing is gorgeous and expressive. Haunting and unforgettable. 10/10
