Product Description
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

Out of the Lisa closet
July 2 2004
Format:Audio CD
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.....

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.
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.

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... Read more

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. Read more

As bland as oatmeal
I bought this album and found it to be very disappointing. I listened to sample clips online and thought they sounded great especially 'Taffy'. Read more

Put a tail on Lisa.
Lisa Loeb's debut is one of my favorite records of all time. Behind this pair of glasses hides a true songwriting and singing talent. Read more

Lisa knows how to rock out!!!
I bought this CD pretty much expecting a bunch of catchy little ditties from an alternative and slightly edgy Lilith Fair regular. Read more

As I once put it in a listmania list, Lisa Loeb's music is like "a fluffy marshmallow with a burning fire of a core. Read more

Catchy debut saves Lisa from one-hit-wonder-dom (sortof)
Despite the mild success of her second single, "Do You Sleep?," Lisa Loeb has lived in the shadow of "Stay" ever since it was first released off of the Reality Bites soundtrack. Read more

Her Best CD Ever and Ever and Ever and Ever...
Her lyrics are the best reason to buy this cd. This is my favorite cd EVER. I don't really think that there is anything confusing about her lyrics. Read more

A CD to listen carefully and enjoy alone in your couch. Some troubled songs ('Do you sleep' being the best of it), some optimistic ones, the always appropiate 'Stay', and a soft... Read more

Lisas awkward Tail
In 1995 Lisa Loeb had a huge hit with the off-beat folk/rock song "stay." That song was so different from the 'radio formula' that it was a surprise success. Read more
