"A mild disappointment. The lyrics are insightful and well-written as always, but the uninvolving combination of spoken word and the subdued production doesn't add up to a great album."  Reply

"One of the great original pieces of filmmaking matched with the best album of female pop/rock . Movie script by Paul Thomas Anderson was directly influenced by some of the yet to be released songs of his friend Aimee Mann. Most of the Aimee Mann songs were first released on this soundtrack.

From start to finish, this album is a knockout, starting with the smash hit openers Giant, Hello Time Bomb, Strange Days, the..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not the Misfits we all love, but come on, Scream, Fiend Club, Dust to Dust, Saturday Night and Helena are all great tunes! Just put aside the fact that Jerry is a complete douche, and you'll see it's worth a listen. "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs, would you still love me anywa..."  [+]  Reply

"I’d agree with other comments. The songs don’t benefit from this format and it’s all a bit blah. I saw her play live with a band at the start of her career. It was a day festival with Bob Dylan and The Who as the headline acts. Never heard of her until then but remember thinking that she had a fu..."  [+]  Reply
