The people I really feel sorry for are her roadies and soundboard guy. How would they even approach the concept of trying to make that sound GOOD?! After about the third show of hearing her push that sound out of her nose about how a moth and a flame have a "sweetheart deal" (there's some great writing - all of these years I thought a sweetheart deal was something good, not something where one party burns to death), I'd go at my eardrums with an ice pick until I hit gray matter...
Just sayin'

I can't wait to go to all of her tracks and give them a "1" rating. At least THAT will give me some pleasure. Wish there were negative numbers available.

When one considers that she probably had dozens and dozens of photos to choose from she picked this. This is how she wants to be portrayed? I thought she was supposed to be a strong individual, but she only succeeds in making herself look depressed and frightened. |

St. Ann's Warehouse is by far my favorite Aimee album. She mixes in a few Magnolia songs and the band sounds terrific throughout. For an artist that doesn't really enjoy playing shows, Aimee rocks this one.
For those looking at buying this one, this album comes with a DVD of the concert inside as well, which is a fantastic deal for about fifteen bucks.

I can tell you from Insect neurobiology that "The Moth" does not really care about anything else either - other than perhaps finding a mate.
