Product Description
CD Description
Understandably vitriolic following a lengthy contractual battle, Aimee Mann channeled her bitterness into a 13-song setthat sees her revisiting her recurring themes (romantic failure, pervasive ignorance) to create a personal best. The tone is established on the opener, "Long Shot", as Mann, backed by a jittery guitar line, sings bitter lyrics that could easily be directed at herself and/or a former flame. The results of a rejuvenating stint in mid-1990s Britpop-crazy London, "You Could Make a Killing" is reportedly about her crush on Noel Gallagher of Oasis, while "Sugarcoated", inspired byguitarist Bernard Butler's acrimonious departure from Suede, was co-written by and features Butler himself.
Every track here is a winner, with Mann's vocals forceful and direct, and Jon Brion's production wonderfully edgy in all the right places. The album closer, "It's Not Safe", one of Mann's signature songs, expresses the anguish that many artists experience at the hands of unappreciative record companies. Butwhere many performers would have thrown in the towel by this point, Mann bounced back with her most fully realised work.
