Reports? The packaging is neat. The song lyrics are provided in the form of chapters of an aged looking book(let) with illustrations that look like cinema noir, but are sketches (heavy on the hatching). It seems rockier than LIS. It doesn't suck. - --Mark, who got the new Go-Betweens today as well, and I love it...best thing since 16 LOVERS LANE, but the sound to me sounds hollow ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 00:17:51 EDT From: A52boy@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] The Mann Act In a message dated 5/3/05 12:11:16 AM Eastern Daylight Time, A52boy writes: best thing since 16 LOVERS LANE, but the sound to me sounds hollow It did in the car. In the house it's very clear. Probably the acoustics of my car at the moment. Nevermind that comment.

Maybe this isn't the right word. More dynamic is probably more accurate. Rockier brings to mind I'M WITH STUPID, and it's not like that. I need more time to digest it.

Reports? It is, let's say, the Around The Sun to Lost In Space's Reveal-- she's gotten better at doing the middle-of-the-road sound that's apparently her thing now, but it doesn't really convince me that the thing is worth doing. For scientific purposes, I listened to part of Bachelor #2 this weekend, and I still liked it, but I am clearly no longer in her target audience. a ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 May 2005 23:23:03 -0700 From: "Bradley Skaught" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] The Mann Act > > Anyone here heard the new Aimee Mann CD? >Reports? I think it's really awful. I thought Joe Henry would bring some of his spooky weirdness to it, but the production is deadly boring and the songs are thoroughly uninteresting. The story (it is a concept album) is really not too engaging and doesn't have the kind of lyrical resonance that her stuff usually has. I'm bummed about it, but i'll still be paying attention to see what the next one is like. New Go-Betweens is really really great, though--the new one by Spoon and the Gruff Rhys solo album are fantastic, too.
