Anyone pick it up yet? I grabbed it on iTunes this morning before I left for work. I had heard several of the songs already on Aimee’s website, but I avoided a few so they’d be fresh when I got the album.
Very cool! 
I like the concept idea. For those that haven’t read or heard about it, the album is basically a short story set to music. It’s about a boxer named John and a waitress named Caroline as they meet and travel across the country.
The songs definitely have a coordinated feel to them. They all sound like they belong on the same album. Standouts so far for me are Going Through the Motions, That’s How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart, and Beautiful.
Anyone else getting it? If you’re wondering who Aimee Mann is, click on the link above and listen to “Going Through the Motions.” Then come back here and let me know that you’re hooked and have already ordered her entire back catalogue.
