[.ca] Tails

From Amazon.com:
Though Tails was her debut album, Loeb had already hit the stratosphere of the pop charts a year earlier with "Stay," a monster hit from the soundtrack of the film Reality Bites. "Stay" is also included on Tails, but the other 12 tracks demonstrate Loeb had more than one good song in her, even if none of them found similar success on the singles chart. Loeb's knack for infectious, buoyant pop shines through on such instantly catchy tunes as "Snow Day," "Rose-Colored Time" and "Waiting for Wednesday"; quieter, darker numbers such as "Hurricane," "Alone" and "Lisa Listen" reveal a more reflective side; and "Taffy" shows she's occasionally willing to let loose and rock as well. --Peter Blackstock

great album:
Ooh...Lisa Loeb's first album 'Tails' is by far her best album. I love the style. Great rock with her vocals just seems unreal. I never thought I'd find someone like Lisa Loeb but I did. At first, I didn't want to give her a chance because her single 'Stay' was overplayed at the time and I wasn't into that kind of music. YEARS later I decided to give her another try. I'm so glad I did. The songs are relatively simple but hold a lot of meaning and most people can relate to the lyrics. I love 'Do You Sleep', 'Taffy' and 'Snow Day'. It's a great album.

She's Got Talent:
Lisa Loeb can sing and she can play guitar very well, but I think she's amazing at writing. Her song's reflect what she sees and I think she does a good job of doing that. Great album, great talent.

Out of the Lisa closet:
OK.. I'm shallow. I was watching $25,000 Pyramid when Lisa and Dweezel were guest contestants. I thought to my self, "Wo, she's really good looking." I remembered liking that video where she walks around the apartment in one long shot and wondered if she had any chops other then cool glasses. So I started pickin up used CD's when I could find them and was moving in a Lisa fan direction. This one sealed the deal. Smart musician, with a unique pocket. She just got prettier.....

Loeb has "staying" power (god, I hate puns!):
While known mainly for her 1994 hit, "Stay", that is only one of the many goodies you'll find with this killer disc. Be sure and check out "Rose-Colored Times", "Snow Day" and "Hurricane". Go Lisa!

Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories "Tails":
Lisa Loeb and her underappreciated band, Nine Stories, are the epitome of great pop music. I personally don't listen to much pop, simply because the genre is overrun with disgusting nonmusicians (i.e. Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears). Lisa Loeb isn't likely to ever make 100 million bucks for a tour, or sell 5 billion copies of one of her albums, but compared to most pop available, this is the CD pop music fans should be spending their 15 bucks on. Lisa mixes rock elements on certain tracks, but ususally she sticks to her slowed down, acoustic specialty. I would say that Tails is the starting point, but I would also recommend her Firecracker album. Standout Tracks: It's Over, Sandalwood, Do You Sleep, Stay, Lisa Listen, Waiting For Wednesday
