Product description

Aimee Mann - Whatever - CD

Amazon.com

Mann has retired the 'Til Tuesday moniker, but the elements that made Everything's Different Now (1988) so superb--heartrending songs, baroque pop arrangements and lovely melodies--remains intact. Jeff Bateman

great stuff, worth it for say anything, I should of known, stupid thing, fifty years after the fair (birds guest star)

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

what can I say, this is a hard one to review since I've loved it for so long it's like second nature. Let me start by saying Aimee is one of the most underrated artists around period. PERIOD. the first till tuesday album is okay, but then she just explodes with some of the best music of the 80s and 90s. the quality of welcome home (my fave, just sick 80s pop), then everything's different now are just mind boggling, then she comes out with this, her first solo album. going the jangle pop/power pop way, and doing it brilliantly. this album is awesome, the next one, I'm with stupid, is flat out kick-tush, then....then.......I'm the fan (I'm sure there's many) that see her singer-songwriter stuff as a fall from the more energetic (for her) material. she went into this really slow folk sound, while her bachelor no. 2 is my fave of that sound for her, I haven't listened to it in years, probably sold the cd, whereas I always listen to the albums mentioned above.

Overlooked indie release by the reclusive Aimee Mann.

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 1999

Verified Purchase

Whatever conjures up the best elements of surf-pop, new wave, and folk rock (Roger McGuinn has a benevolent eye cast over this recording). Out on her own with a truly great batch of confessional but self-assured songs, Aimee Mann crafted a classic right out the bag with her first solo record.
I'm with Stupid was more openly defiant and rougher, but way back in 1993 Whatever already found Mann at the peak of her emotional and musical strength. Check out the layers of distorted guitars on "I Should've Known" coupled with an irresistible melody; the Byrds-isms on "Fifty-Years after the Fair" with its wonderful vocal harmonies and McGuinn's 12-string guitar resounding; the gang voices on "Say Anything" and the poignant "4th of July". Mann even tackles a May-September romance on "Mr. Harris" and sounds as dark as Days of Open Hand-era Suzanne Vega on "Jacob Marley's Chain".
Meticulously produced (by Jon Brion), written and performed, Whatever is a pop powerhouse.

i am used to some of amy mann's sort of atmospheric sounds (lost in space, magnolia soundtrack). that being said this is not that. the sound is pretty pop oriented and took me some getting used to, but now i'm on board. 4 stars.

Great music marred by poor CD master.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm a huge fan of Aimee Mann's poetic, remarkably -if painfully- insightful, storytelling music. I just wish it wasn't so compressed and distorted on her CD's. The poor audio quality comes between the music and the listener too much, and too often.

Like many others, I buy CD's instead of digital downloads precisely because I want better sound quality than MP3's; sadly, you won't find that here. You'd think that an artist with control of the record company that releases her work would take care to see that the work was released unmolested by heavy-handed compression. A shame, really.

A pop masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Aimee Mann, a writer of neurotic and illuminating songs about human foibles, teamed with musical wunderkind Jon Brion to make this shimmering gem. The lyrics are wry and scathing--kind of like a Spalding Gray monologue. And the music is gorgeous pop-rock; the record sounds like an incandescent sequel to Abbey Road.

A powerhouse solo debut

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Honestly, what's left to say that other reviewers haven't already touched upon? This landmark solo debut appropriately sets the tone for her other masterpieces then-yet-to-come. Mann fine-tunes her skills obtained from the Berklee College of Music into a wide sonic array of soulful melodies and deep, haunting lyrics. Personally, "Whatever" remains to this day as my favourite Aimee solo effort, along with "Lost in Space." AAA+

A Fine Debut

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017

Aimee Manns first solo-album "Whatever" from 1993 is one of her most acclaimed. It does have quite some similarities of her time with the group 'Til Tuesday, with whom she released three albums in the years 1985-1988. Power-pop songs like "I Should Have Known," "Say Anything" and "Could Have Been Anyone" could well have been recorded by this group. All three, by the ways, fine well-written songs.
The more mature Mann's style, as we know it from later great albums like "Bachelor No. 2, "" Lost in Space "and" Charmer "you will also find examples of. Not least, the beautiful ballad "Stupid Thing" is a highlight. I also fell for the peculiar "Jacob Marley's Chain", which lyrically is based on Charles Dickens old "A Christmas Carol".
The album spans musically seen very wide, from simply arranged songs over tracks with orchestral backing till pure power-pop ala The Bangles and Kim Wilde.

What a magnificent album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

The first solo album by Aimee Mann should have propelled her to superstardom but for some reason this did not happen, presumably due to the lack of airplay that for some strange reason has continued throughout her career. Whatever is full of great songs some of which reach Beatles standard melodies combined with magnificent lyrics which mean that this album is easily one of the best debut albums ever released. Very thoroughly recommended.

今やエイミーマンは時代を代表する最高峰の女性シンガー・ソングライターになっていますが
まさにその通りだと思います。
このソロ第1段であるこの作品も、かなりの完成度で素晴らしい,。
当時はレコード会社のごたごたもあったせいか、商業的にも　あまりうまくいった作品ではないですが
売り方によってはもっと成功してもよい作品だと思います。

この作品をはじめて手にしてから20年近くたちますが、今も色褪せずに聴くことが
できます。彼女の作品はどの盤も素晴らしいので、是非聴いてほしいです。

個人的に一番好きなトラックは　4th of July　
あと、Jacob Marley's chain が何故か好きなんだよな。

No está nada mal

Reviewed in Spain on May 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

Me gusta mucho Aimee Mann, pero todo el mundo parece coincidir en que su carrera empieza cuando aportó varias canciones a la banda sonora de la película Magnolia.
Este ""Whatever", junto con "I'm with Stupid" son dos discos anteriores y casi todo el mundo parece dejarlos de lado. Incluso la propia Aimee ni siquiera los considera en la discografía que aparece en su propia página web. Sin embargo, no son malos discos. ES verdad que tienen un tono más pop y, quizás, menos melancólico que otros posteriores como Bachelor no.2, pero resulta perfectamente reconocible.
Para quienes les gueste Aimee, encontrarán mucho que disfrutar también aquí.

Das Debut-Album von Aimee Mann

Reviewed in Germany on February 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

Dieser Erstling von Aimee Mann ist jetzt schon in die Jahre gekommen, hört sich aber sehr erfrischend an. Schon der erste Song, "I should've known", besticht durch einen vollen Klang und einen eingängigen Refrain.
"Put me on Top" ist ein regelrechter Ohrwurm und "Stupid Thing" eine schöne Ballade.
Die Singer-Songwriterin und beinahe-Oscargewinnerin zeigt hier, wie vielseitig sie sein kann. Mir gefällt vor allem, dass die Stücke sehr schön instrumentiert sind - und die meisten Instrumente spielt Aimee selbst ein!
Ich ziehe einen Stern ab, weil mir andere LPs von Aimee Mann noch besser gefallen und ich also "Luft nach oben" brauche - dennoch sehr empfehlenswert!
