Free Music Review: A timeless classic for any time!
Hit: 5 Stars
Call it what you will this is my favorite Til Tuesday album. I saw the
band play live many many times in Boston back in '84/'85 and I was always
in awe. The first time I saw them play at the now demolished Rat in
Kenmore Square, my friends and I knew we were seeing something special. I
watched the band and their song list grow as well as their popularity and
the crowds of people that began showing up especially after the release of
the album.
Before the first album I only knew the live shows. Most people who only
knew them from the single on the radio unfortunately never heard the edgy
fullness and vitality of their live sound. The album by contrast was very
produced with a very clean cathedral reverb type sound. In fact there were
many songs in their repitiore that never made it to the second or any
other album which is a shame because they were damn good! If you can get a
copy of their video retrospective the last song gives a little taste of the live show.
I could tell from seeing and listening to them that Robert Holmes was a
great guitar player. After Til Tuesday he formed his own band called Ultra
Blue and it was here that he really cut loose and showed his chops.
Honestly the guy is one of the best (and most under-rated) guitarists I've
ever seen. Aimee Mann of course was a sight and sound to behold and we all
know she's done very well for herself since. I've been trying to get some
of the photos I took from back then onto tiltuesday.net .
In any event this work remains, and for me it is still a great pleasure to
listen to. While this album is rooted in the 1980's from whence it came and
you can hear that, it was one of the best efforts from that time, and I
believe its also become a timeless classic for any time.
Free Music Review: One Of The Most Underrated Bands Of The 80's
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you looking to start collecting Til Tuesday's CDs, I recommend you get this one first. Very rarely do I come across a CD where I love every song on it, but here is one of them. I just have to say, I'm annoyed how most of the artists that go solo and change their sound in the 90's always make this dramatic deal about forgetting where they came from. Aimee Mann is one of those artists and I can't understand why. Personally, I don't like her solo work (I don't dig accoustic music anyway). 'Til Tuesday was an awesome band that cranked out some of the best New Wave and Synth Pop music. This particular album could actually be considered Gothic Pop because of its dark, cold nature. This is one of my all-time favourite albums, with my favorite songs being: "Love In A Vacuum", "I Could Get Used To This", and "No More Crying". I wish the single version of "Love In A Vacuum" was available. It has much better instrumentation, and the vocals come out more. If you ever get a chance to see the music video, they use that mix. Crank it up and listen to the difference! 'TIL TUESDAY RULES!!!Free Music Review: The Voice That Carries...

Can anyone else on the planet even come close to sounding as wonderful? This girl has a voice Opera Stars would kill for. It's Clear, it's Strong, it's crisp. It's the kind of music You want to go WOW to and Hey it's ok I'm in Love, I'm allowed to feel. Til Tuesday has 3 great CD's... however our little STAR GIRL has went on to record 4 more CD's with out the band. Is she everything and more...YES. However the Til Tuesday style of music faded with the Band. Her newer CD's just don't have that Flair and Zing that makes the Heart Burst into a Flood of Emotions.Free Music Review: Great for the period.

This music takes me back to 1985 in a good way. I's not as good as "Everthing's Different Now" or "Welcome Home", but there's still good music. The title song, Maybe Sunday, Winning The War, You Know the Rest, this is primo stuff for 1985. I had this in regular rotation in 1985 and it was one the the first cd's that I bought after I got my first cd player that year.Free Music Review: Whole cd is listenable and no song is boring
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is by far my most favorite to listen to. The songs are mostly about Aimee Mann (lead singer and writer) and her boyfriend who was also in the band, they describe ralationships and love. This cd is the best out of all Til Tuesday cd's. This band should get recognition for this cd, its much better than today's music. Aimee Mann rocks!!
