So “Whatever” by Aimee Mann, is one of those albums that I never would have listened to without the 1,001… Always impressed with her work with “Til’ Tuesday” – and her backing vocals on the Rush track “Time Stands Still”, totally made the song, and was absolutely magical… That said, I didn’t really know what to expect – but was pleasantly surprised… Can’t say I know what the “genre” is, but it is exceptionally well done… Her vocals, and her range throughout were pretty close to perfect on this album – and her voice blends so well with the music… Obviously some tracks are better than others – but even the weaker ones were fairly well done… Best tracks IMO were – “4th Of July”, “Stupid Thing”, “I Could Hurt You Now”, & “I’ve Had It” would all be 4-stars out of 7 in my little rating scale… The weaker tracks were “Fifty Years At The Fair”, “Jacob Marley’s Chain”, & “Way Back When”… Again – it’s not that these songs sucked, it’s just that they weren’t nearly as well-done as the others… Though each of them still had moments of goodness – like the lyrics in “Way Back When”… The rest of the tracks were just fine… Just love the quality, ease, and range of Aimee’s voice – and really appreciate how well she compliments the music – which is no easy task… She’s just a talented and versatile artist, and I really enjoyed this album… Solid 3 from me…
