WITH ORDINARY PEOPLE STRUGGLING AGAINST OPERATIC LEVELS OF PAIN.”

“AIMEE MANN ALLOYS SOFT ROCK’S METICULOUS SONGCRAFT WITH LYRICAL THEMES THAT CAN
HOLD AN EDGE.”
“A SHOWCASE FOR HER CONSIDERABLE CRAFT AND HER KNIFE-EDGE WIT,
MENTAL ILLNESS IS ONE OF MANN’S SHARPEST ALBUMS OF THE CENTURY.”
“AIMEE MANN’S QUIETLY INTENSE SONGS HAVE ALWAYS PAINTED
EMPATHETIC PORTRAITS OF TORMENTED CHARACTERS—WHO LEAVE AN IMPRESSION ON HER, AS
WELL AS LISTENERS.”
“THE MIX IS MELANCHOLY IN TONE, YET GORGEOUSLY SWEET AND SIMPLE.”
“MANY OF HER SLOW, BRUISING, CRAFTY, AND CATCHY SONGS MAY SHINE
WITH SADNESS ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT AS EVER, THEY BRISTLE WITH SMART
OBSERVATIONS AND INTRIGUING PERSPECTIVES.”
“THE PATRON SAINT OF GLOOMY FOLK POP.”
“AIMEE MANN IS A RARE AMERICAN PIONEER.”

INTROSPECTIVE, SOFTLY-STRUMMED ACOUSTIC BALLADS THAT WILL MAKE YOU REFLECT AND POSSIBLY WEEP.”
“LORD KNOWS THE CHARACTERS IN MANN’S SONGS ARE OFTEN HOPELESSLY EARTHBOUND BY
PLODDING TEMPOS AND THE SINGER’S TRADEMARK PAINFULLY HONEST,
CLOSET-SUNG VOCALS. BUT LISTENERS FIND HOPE IN THEIR TALES OF UPLIFT AND REDEMPTION IN THE SINGER’S
FANTASTIC CATALOG OF POP SONGS.”
“HER INTELLIGENT LYRICS AND MELANCHOLY VOCALS MAKE MENTAL
ILLNESS A SUPERB ALBUM.”“A CAREER PINNACLE, MENTAL ILLNESS SHOWCASES AIMEE MANN’S
BEST WORK YET.”

FLAWLESS, SUBDUED YET SULTRY, WISTFUL YET WORLDLY AND MAKING IT ALL SEEM EASY.”
“MENTAL ILLNESS IS PROUDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY SAD AND WISTFUL
FROM START TO FINISH.”
“THE SINGER-SONGWRITER PLAYS INTO HER MELANCHOLIC REPUTATION WITH
GRACE AND CONVICTION.”

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR
Aimee Mann’sMental Illness
“SUBTLE YET SMART, WITTY YET WISE, MANN THE LYRICIST REMAINS INDISPENSABLE IN DESCRIBING THE
HUMAN CONDITION.”
“MENTAL ILLNESS IS A FULL- BODIED ALBUM WITH GREAT LYRICAL
AND INSTRUMENTAL COMPLEXITY AND UN-EXPECTED RICHNESS OF SOUND
AND MOOD.”
“ULTIMATELY, MENTAL ILLNESS COULD BE CALLED MANN’S MASTERPIECE, AN
EMOTIONAL TOUCHSTONE IN A CAREER THAT’S HAD NO SHORTAGE OF PURELY
MESMERIZING MOMENTS.”
“ASTUTE OBSERVER OF THE HUMAN CONDITION.”
“MENTAL ILLNESS SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE A MINIMALIST AIMEE MANN RECORD, PLAYING TO HER
STRENGTHS WITH CAREFULLY SHAPED, DISCONSOLATE SONGS MARKED BY
SHARP WIT AND ENTICING MELODY.”
“ON WHAT IS, PERHAPS, HER FINEST RELEASE OF THE PAST 15 YEARS,
MANN WANDERS IN AND OUT OF STORIES THAT REVOLVE AROUND THE HUB OF DYSFUNCTION THAT IS THE
EXPERIENCE OF BEING HUMAN.”
“...THE ALBUM REFLECTS HER MATURITY AND, LYRICALLY, DELIVERS
MORE INTROSPECTION.”
“CREDIT HER DARKLY WRY SENSIBILITIES, HER CRISP WORDPLAY, AND THE FACT THAT FEW IN MODERN MUSIC HAVE AS INNATE A GRASP OF
THE CHAMBER POP AESTHETIC AS MANN DOES.”
“MOST ARTISTS CAN ONLY HOPE TO MAKE MUSIC THIS
VITAL OVER 30 YEARS INTO A MUSICAL CAREER.”
“...SONGS THAT ARE SUBDUED AND SPACIOUS, YET INTIMATE
ENOUGH THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF HOLDING YOUR BREATH SO AS NOT
TO MISS A NOTE.”
