Free Music Notes for The Forgotten Arm
Free Music Review: Gorgeous
Hit: 5 Stars
i've been purchasing music off Amazon for about 5 yrs and have never written a comment before now. This album is beautiful in the realest way. Every song and the booklet with the illustrations. from beginning to end.Free Music Review: Every bit as good as Magnolia... maybe better
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD. I've been a fan of Aimee Mann since her Magnolia CD. Then I heard something from The Forgotten Arm on NPR and had to check it out. I was not disappointed. It was every bit as good... maybe better (maybe because this CD doesn't have Super Tramp!?!?). Free Music Review: BUY IT and give it more than one listen...
Hit: 5 Stars
I thought Lost In Space was just brilliant. I got Forgotten Arm very soon after it was released and didn't like it at all at first.
Many months later I started to spin it again and looked at the drawings along with the story....I mean SONGS.
This isn't just a music album, this is an amazing expression from a truly amazing artist, Aimee Mann. Every song is a chapter to a larger story about a couple and sometimes a song is from the girls perspective and sometimes it's his. Sometimes it's both in the same song.
It's not a happy smiley story but it feels so REAL. This is about living life and trying to overcome the difficulties. The music is great, I love the older style recording, the piano is right on, lots of acoustic guitar on this one. Aimee's voice is as good as ever, raw and unable to mask her artist expression.
If she releases an album half this good in the future I will be a happy man. Thank you Aimee for defying the industry and writing what you want and creating a true classic. Please come play Nashville.
Free Music Review: An excellent concept album...
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Forgotten Arm" is an excellent concept album by singer/songwriter Aimee Mann. The story is interesting and the songs are catchy and enjoyable. Standout tracks include "King of the Jailhouse," "Video," and "I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up For Christmas." Fortunately, EVERY song on this album is good!Free Music Review: Deeply Beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
At first, this album seemed a bit morose, pretty but depressing, but, after a lot of listens, it blossomed in my heart, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful song follows beautiful song! I think the whole concept is great. The band is excellent, and Joe Henry's production is first rate. The packaging is cool too.
