Aimee Mann – The Forgotten Arm
This album was ranked in my top 10 for the year for a long time. There is really no big reason for the fall to 19, other than I’d found a lot more albums that I’ve listened to a lot more. This is the type of album that I can listen to all the way through. I doubt it will be showing up on many people’s lists or if many people on the “indie rock” scene even listen to Aimee Mann, but I think this is her best work.
What the critics say:
Metacritic.com – 67/100
Pitchfork – [7.4]
