The forgotten artist Still, this album, The Forgotten Arm, shows that the former `Til Tuesday frontwoman still has what it takes to make good music. Aimee Mann seems to be one of those artists whose work unfortunately gets lost in the mainstream shuffle (not that that's necessarily what she was going for anyway).
In case you don't know yet, this is a concept album that channels through a couple's somewhat troubled relationship. I didn't realize that at first, but it really doesn't matter because I can still pick out standouts like "That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart", "Dear John", and one of my favorites, "Going Through the Motions".
"I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up For Christmas" is also pretty good, although I really don't think you should use the "F" word in a Christmas song. My only other concern is that "I Can't Get My Head Around It" made me say just that. Looking past all that, though, it's obvious that The Forgotten Arm is another entry for Aimee's list of great albums.
