A true classic

Review Score: (10/10)
Aimee Mann is easily the best female singer-songwriter in the US right now (see, for example, her recent work Bachelor n.2 or the soundtrack of Magnolia - her great "breakthrough"). "I am with Stupid" only shows that Aimee's magic has been around for a while - since 95 to be precise (I, particularly, think that her first solo album "Whatever", 1993 - although very, very good - is a little tentative). Indeed, all the 13 tracks of the album are impecable - showing the maturity of Ms Mann's talent and her absolute control of her work - and 5 of them are, in my humble opinion, true gems of rock 'n roll (count with me: "Long Shot", "You could make a killing", "Par for the Course", "You are with Stupid now" and "It's not safe").
This album is not for kids, folks. It is the real deal. It will take absolute control of both your heart and mind for a long, long time.
