It is, of course, brilliant.
And in a recent interview she says there will be vinyl reissues of Bachelor No. 2 and Lost in Space!!
Oh this makes me very happy!New album - Queens of the Summer Hotel coming soon!
I'd start with Bachelor No. 2.She’s been recommended to me over the years and in the small bits I’ve been offered I’ve not been disappointed. I don’t understand why she’s eluded me all these years. Which album should I start with?
It's only ranked so low in her discography because her albums discography is so good. I can see where you're coming from with Bachelor No. 2 but the themes lyrically were pretty amazing. In fact as much as I love The Forgotten Arm I have to say that thematically it's amazing but it has some lyrical cliches ... we used to make fun in the old Aimee Mann forum about how she overuses the word 'baby' on it.I'm always mystified when I see "Whatever" ranked so low. It's easily her most varied album. I'd never put "Bachelor" near the top, despite its highlights, because it's rather a Frankenstein record (Magnolia soundtrack vs. Bachelor North America vs Bachelor V2 vs Bachelor 20th Anniversary). She'd also started to get a little one note. Another lyrical takedown of a foe? Change the channel, Aimee. "The Forgotten Arm" came along at just the right time. She became kinder when writing for characters ("Forgotten Arm" is a multi song tale of a Vietnam vet and his lover).
And please rank Aimee's albums! So wonderful to see Aimee fansI'm always mystified when I see "Whatever" ranked so low. It's easily her most varied album.

I actually tried earlier and found it impossible.Shall we try an Aimee top 10 gang?
Just noticed. Edited! 4-3-2-1 check it out.You put Humpty Dumpty TWICE
This one still gets to me. The first time I heard it I was in a pretty bad situation life/career/relationship-wise in general and it just killed me.“So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light.
I keep waiting for a change, but I don't know what.
So red turns into green, turning into yellow.
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot.
And all I have to do is press the pedal.
But I'm not. No I'm not.”
