Powerful

Review Score: (10/10)
I had lost touch with Aimee Man for some time--always a big fan of Til Tuesday classics like "Voices Carry" (probably still the best video ever shown on MTV back when MTV used to show videos) and "Coming Up Close". With Bachelor, I am back--for good. This great set of songs in the tradition of Beatles/Costello is truly moving, and Mann wears her emotions on her sleeve on the best tracks--"Deathly" "Red Vines" Nothing is Good Enough". But it's all good, and I can't think of a cd that I have purchased in the last year where I can't wait to get home and put it back on the stereo. In sum, it's so rare to find an artist these days whose songwriting craft is backed up with talented playing. Aimee is truly a breath of fresh air.
