5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the best cds i've bought!, May 27, 2000
I, like many people first heard letters to cleo in 10 things, but i had heard of them before, just never got to listen to any of their music... anyways, i love their remake of i want you to want me, and got the cd, without hearing any of their songs on the record... what a great buy! allouette and me is definitely the songs that sticks out in my head the most, and then there is find you dead, which is just so great... kays voice is so emotional when she sings and i love her writings... the rest of the band just sounds great together also... this album has everything, little bit of punk, grunge, ska, pop, rock...

Great!, October 18, 1999
I first heard Letters To Cleo on the 10 Things.. sdtk, and I fell in love with them. This is the first CD of theirs that I bought, and I love it. I'm going to buy "sister" and "wholesale meats and fish" next. They are my new favorite band! This CD is awesome. BUY IT NOW!

Unfortunately, GOing to the bargain bin, March 1, 2000
Letters to Cleo gathered themselves after the disappointing sales and music of Wholesale Meats and Fish and released their best and possibly last album. While Kay Hanley's voice tends to be extremely inconsistent live, her mousy girly intones are in fine form here, and her songwriting has never been more intelligent or fulfilled. Except for the pedestrian "Co-Pilot," the rest of the album rocks memorably. My personal favorites are "I Got Time," "I'm a Fool," "Veda Very Shining," and best of all "Find You Dead." The first single, "Co-Pilot" was a bad call by some A&R man - I like the song, but it's way too choppy for radio and really misrepresented the continuity and fluidity of this CD. The simplistic "Alouette and Me" was my least favorite tune when I first bought the disc, but it has grown on me over time. Great music for driving, good moods, and parties - LTC goes down swinging with this one - it's recommended.
