Free Music Review: It touches a nerve and breaks my heart every time I hear it
Hit: 5 Stars

This album was the soundtrack for the summer I first fell in love. "Voices Carry" (the title track) was on the radio like every fifteen minutes back then; blaring at pool parties, playing at the roller rink, playing on the radio of my '84 Oldsmobile Cutlas, playing everywhere, even the damn hard rock stations played it. My first real love interest liked the song...so I (a die hard metal fan) bought the album...and I was stunned. As we all know, first loves often become first heartbreaks and many times it's your fault in one way or another. I'm a guy, and all of the songs Aimee Mann writes are about boorish, egotistical, domineering guys. I was that guy and I payed dearly for it. Every time I hear the song "You Know The Rest", I just want to cry. This is easily the best song in this collection, but for some mysterious reason it never got as much radio play as "Love In A Vacuum", "Looking Over My Shoulder", or "Voices Carry". Aimee Mann's voice is spine-chillingly beautiful, Joey Pesce's keyboard touches are often haunting, and Robert Holmes' guitar licks give you the impression that he is actually a hard rock guitar slinger at heart but he's being restrained by the straight-jacket of the "new wave" genre. Much has been made about Mann's solo albums ("Whatever", "I'm With Stupid", "Bachelor #2", and The Magnolia soundtrack), but her folkish solo stuff is nowhere near as poignant or heart-rending as her first 'Til Tuesday "new wave" effort. This is a beautiful collection of songs...I don't know why people always make the Cars/Rick Ocasek connection, because I simply don't hear it. But that's music critics for you...they can't tell a good song from a hole in the ground. Buy this, young 'uns (and I'm not just saying this because I was turned on by punk chicks like Anne Carlyle in "Liquid Sky" and I liked Aimee Mann's hair...the songs are good, trust me). UP THE IRONS!

Voices Carry Poster

Cross the hiccuping mannerisms of the Cars' Ric Ocasek with the edgy style of the B-52s' Cindy Wilson and you've got the vocal sound of Aimee Mann, the bass-playing, silver-maned leader of 'Til Tuesday. Winner of a Boston Battle of the Bands in 1984 that led to a recording contract, this post-new-wave quartet specialized in moody music that crept under your skin--no more so than on the title track of the '85 debut, the literate ("In the dark, I like to read his mind") Top 20 hit "Voices Carry." Nothing here quite matches that song's murky intensity, but the almost equally claustrophobic, aptly titled "Love in a Vacuum" comes close. --Billy Altman
