Love Lisa!
I am very happy to own a real copy! I love Lisa's voice, the lyrics are fun and quirky, and the music is amazing. This is my favorite CD of all time, and I'd only ever owned burned copies. Best CD ever!.


Stay etc. in the eye of the beholder
with certain artists, it's value is far more in the beholder than in the item. With music in general, & esp. Some are acquired tastes, perhaps, but IMHO most either produce a strong response in the listener -- or not. I think (esp. if one reads the personal reviews) this is certainly true of Lisa Loeb & this album. She reminds me a bit of Jewel & Amy Grant in tone. To Lisa's credit, she writes her own material. I'm not that big on her presentation (though I do like "Stay"). I seem to like her lyrics better than most reviewers do. Indeed, it seems to me she could have published these "songs" as poems. There's certainly enough angst in them! But, the music sometimes doesn't seem to quite fit the words. Further, most of the tunes seem somewhat similar to each other IMHO. But, if you are a REAL FAN, this is wonderful. If you're not, it's not so wonderful. That's why there's chocolate, vanilla, & .


Lilith Fair fare
The other hit off of the CD was "Do You Sleep?", but the other tracks off of the disc are well-written and executed, speaking of relationship perils of successes, sometimes with a sense of humour. Tails encapsulated the promise of Lisa Loeb, who made the big time with a hit single "Stay" off of the Reality Bites movie soundtrack. Lisa's star hasn't stayed as high since the release of this disc, but in part that's attributable to the change in the music landscape that occurred at the turn of the millennium, as MTV turned the pop culture sheep away from alternative rock and Lilith Fair music towards hip-hop, and (sadly) themselves away from playing videos and towards Punk'd. Tails is definitely worth a listen, if you were a fan of music of that time.


Lisa Loeb-Tails
This CD has all the qualities of just puting it into your player and listening to it for weeks. I remember being the only third grader to have her casset Tails, and perhaps relized around that time that i was a lesbian her Lisa Loeb is sooo freaking hot!

This is besides the point. Her songs are rich in texture and style, easy to belt out while your waiting at a stop light or shopping with your I-pod. I highly recommend this CD to every one. Its the perfect "I'm in a bad mood CD" because its so cheerful.

Lisa Loeb is Pure
Of course, I loved the song "Stay", as I was growing up, and I never even knew the song "Do you Sleep?" was popluar. Ok, first I need to admit that I don't own this album nor have I listened to it all the way through, however, I can say that Lisa Loeb is a talented singer/songwriter and guitarist. I just know that I like it. I like it for the words, the rythem and the chorus - "I saw you as you walked across my room. You looked out the window you looked at the moon. And you sat on the corner on my bed. And you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head. " Not only are the words poetic and intruging, the way that part of the song is played out is just magical. It honestly gives me chills. I just like her voice, its - cute. Its not forced. And the fact that she writes her own lyrics and plays the guitar is enough to ask - why the hell wasn't she more successful than Britany "I'm-A-Tramp" Spears? Oh wait, don't answer that. Another reason I wanted to review this album and Lisa is because I wanted to suggest that if there are any Lisa Loeb fans out there then I promise you, you will fall in love with The Sundays. Harriet Wheeler (the vocalist) sounds very similar, and the music is quite similar, but I'd have to say that The Sundays and Harriet's voice exceed Lisa and her band. I suggest the album Static and Silence - but all of them are worth getting. Unfortunalty, there are only 3. Tails is a good album. I personally am a fan of Do you Sleep? and Stay. And it has nothing to do with their popularity - frankly, its because they are good, solid songs.
