An American contribution to the New Wave scene exceeding by far most others, an absolute a tour de force. Released in 1988 it was Til Tuesday's third and final album, much like the second album it was poorly promoted by Epic Records and as a result it finished up at position 124 on the Billboard Top 200. A tradgedy to be sure, and as usual it's the music fans that suffer the most, a gem has been lost to the masses forever. Few, if any below the age of thirty-five will even know of it's existence, much less be inclined to buy it. The only single to be released "( Believed You Were) Lucky" although an excellent song, was far from the best. Four songs in particular " Everything's Different Now", "Rip In Heaven", "Long Gone" and "How Can You Give Up" each stronger than the lead off single should have also been released. Bring me the record executive that is responsible for this debacle, I want his f##kin head on a platter, material like this should not be allowed to fade into obscurity. The whole album is strong, there in no fill on this record at all, once more Aimee Mann shows her incredible singer / song writer ability. I've listened to this album countless time over the years and will continue to in the future...
