Whatever

Maybe I recognize the name a bit but not familiar with the songs. It's ok but there is a bit of country twang in there that I don't care for and doesn't seem to be mentioned in the styles.

Whatever is an album i thought was pretty enjoyable. Judging by the album cover photo, I honestly thought that this was gonna be a more punkish album but even though while the album had some punkish elements, it was very much a pop rock album. This honestly kind of disappointed me since i like the former genre way more than the latter but i didn't think that this sounded bad at all. There were some pretty enjoyable songs on offer and Mann's vocals were honestly the best part about this album having a wide range with them which gave them kind of a country feel which i rarely like, but i like it here. It's not great indie rock but it is good indie rock and i enjoy indie rock so i enjoyed this album.
Best Song: I Should've Known
Worst Song: Way Back When

Surprised this album is from 1993, feels like something that could easily slot into the late 90s as music that would get picked as a track for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode. At points almost verges on Shania Twain type country, but never fully commits, and it adds a nice twang to some of the songs without being too much while also maintaining that 90's more upbeat alt sound.

Not quite sure how I feel about it though. I like it, but I don't know if I like it enough to go back to it in the future. Maybe if I'm looking for that specific late 90s vibe. Will say at 52 minutes, it's probably a tad on the long side, and could have used a song or two being cut.

Side note after I wrote the review: Apparently she was actually on an episode of Buffy, performing her songs. I called it, lol.

I'm a sucker for a good '90s alt/pop album and this one hits all the right notes for sure. Really fun. I'm surprised I haven't listened to her more.
